"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride" Right? Our fantasies are called so because it's what we would love to have but don't. And with every false reality there are loopholes.

SPOILERS

Fantasy Island is a horror thriller. 5 strangers win an all expenses paid trip to a fantasy island which is owned by a business mogul. An Island that is said to grant you your deepest desires. Each guest filled out surveys about their dream fantasy and on arrival to the island, they get what they hoped for.

The fantasy starts out well with each one getting exactly what they hoped for; a redo. But everything in the island has a price. Every fantasy must be led to its final end.

The guests begin to realize that some things aren't right with their fantasies and the island and must work together to find a way out.

I have to say, for a thriller movie it was confusing at first. At first I thought it was a haunted movie but it wasn't. The powers of the Island must be truly magnificent, since it brought back a dead relative.

It's not a horror story that can be categorized with others. I don't understand why they didn't arrest Mr Roarke. What if another set of people fall victim? What if it's a trap?

I sincerely expected more scare factors. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll give it a 6 for trying.

The Gentlemen; Movie Review

CAST Matthew McConaughey (Michael Pearson) Charlie Hunnam (Raymond Smith) Henry Golding (Dry Eye) Hugh Grant ( Fletcher) Michelle Dockery (Rosalind Fletcher) Jeremy Strong (Matthew Berger) Eddie Marson (Big Dave) Colin Farrell (Coach). The words " drug" and " Mafia" have been known to be associated with blood, chain of commands and dirty deals. The world of drugs isn't one to be taken lightly as every action can be interpreted as either weakness or strength. The Gentlemen showed a slightly different approach to the drug world. It wasn't without deaths and orders but it hard a slightly comedic part to it. Spoilers ahead . If you've seen the movie, then you can either agree or disagree with some of the wordings here. But if you haven't, I'll try to lessen the spoilers. If the movie had been 3hours long or even 4hours, I doubt if I would notice. Because I was glued to my screen till the very end. The blend and scenery was q...

Movie Review; Vampires vs. The Bronx

Cast Coco Jones, Method Man, Chris Reed, Jarden Micheal, The Kid Mero, Gregory Diaz IV, Zoe Saldana, Sarah Gardon. Vampires vs. The Bronx is about a group of kids trying to save their neighbourhood with amateurish vampire techniques—which come in handy. How do kids always have this confidence to face the evil that's new to them? If I as much as see a rat, I'm getting the hell out of that place—but not these kids. They uncover conspiracies and charge head-on. Impressive. They might not be able to stand up to school bullies, but they have what it takes to stand up to vampires and clowns. The movie had a regular dose of finding one's strength in friendship and solidarity. And the usual community-never-believing-the-kids until the worse has happened or is close. Please, you must not divulge information to everyone. Don't take the bait and talk about how you're alone searching for a purpose or have no family around who'll miss you. That's how people...
