I had a lot of fun watching this film and am going to defend it as much as I can. The swift story, the fun fight choreography, the impressive practical effects and as much gore as possible put a smile on my face. I saw the trailer and this is what I wanted, a fun action-horror B movie. Granted the story and acting could be better and the opportunity to have some fantastic lines was wasted at times but I struggle to understand the majority of the negative reviews. I wonder if this film will ever be recognized as a cult film because I really liked it and so did a few others I have talked to, time will tell. It’s the second most enjoyable experience I have had in the cinema this year and I hope this continues into the spring season. Please leave your opinions in the comments as I am sure there will be some opposing views.

The Campaign (2012) Review

The campaign isn’t really clever but it is really funny and if you don’t laugh at something in this film there is something wrong with you. If you like Will Ferrell (Anchorman) then this won’t disappoint as he is still doing what he does best. Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) worked great with will Ferrell in this and would love to see them together again. The satire could have been smarter considering the upcoming elections but neither the less it’s still worth watching because it’s funny as hell. And Dylan McDermott’s character Tim Wattley (American Horror Story) was absolutely hysterical and I can’t believe he wasn’t in any trailer. That scene where he is in the kitchen put in tears, he plays such a good serious person.
