POLTERGEIST - Better visual effects, more suspense !

POLTERGEIST

An updated version of the 1982 Classic Horror film about a family whose suburban home is haunted by evil forces. When the youngest daughter was held captive and terrifying elements escalate their attacks, the family must come together to rescue her before she disappears forever.

This remake follows the same storyline as the first. House hunted, girl taken. But this has more modern-day updates like the use of iPhone, a plasma tv, a drone camera, and GPS devices. Also, it is well-acted by the cast led by Sam Rockwell (the Dad), Rosemarie Dewitt (the Mom), Saxon Sharbino (the sister), Kyle Catlett (the brother), and Kennedi Clements (as the little girl Madison).

First-time viewers will find it scary, while fans of the original will welcome the new takes. Better special effects, fast-paced, more suspense ! I loved the original, but I enjoyed this one too ! 

ENTOURAGE - the Gang's all here !

ENTOURAGE

The girls of SEX AND THE CITY had two movies already. So now it's the boys' turn. I'm a fan of both shows, but I can relate more with the boys of ENTOURAGE. Of course !

It's been a thrill to follow the adventures of Vinnie, Johnny, E, Turtle, & Ari all these years. From their humble beginnings to where they are now.  The film picks up where the tv show left off some four years ago.  Super Agent Ari Gold is now a Studio Head who gets Vince to direct his next film. What follows is a slew of funny dialogues, celebrity cameos, bromance, sex, etc. which made the show very successful.

Yeah you may say that the movie feels like an extended version of the tv series. But hey that's what the fans want ! Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly, Jerry Ferrara, & Kevin Dillon all get back to their characters with ease. But it's Jeremy Piven still, who gives the best performance as Ari Gold.

Fans of the tv series will definitely enjoy this film. New viewers may find it likeable, or sexist. A friend of mine who has not seen a single episode enjoyed it as well. That's Hollywood for you.
