I watch movies every week and then write down my thoughts. Read my previous reviews!
My rating is simple, Watch It, It Depends, Skip it.

| Hellion -Hitting drink cans with a bat sums it up. |
Hellion (2014)
Watch Hellion
Written by: Kat Candler
Directed by: Kat Candler
Starring: Aaron Paul, Juliette Lewis, Josh Wiggins
Rated: R
Plot:
A father and son deal with death and responsibility as their choices tear their family apart.
Review:
Hellion takes a measured pace as it unfurls its story. It's very much a character driven piece. The movie has a very real feel to it as main characters and side characters deal with their emotions and broken families. It's underwhelming at first, becoming deeper upon reflection. I found Aaron Paul hard to buy as the father, but he didn't do a bad job.
It depends.

| Chronicles of Riddick - Everyone wants to kill the man with pretty eyes. |
Watch Chronicles of Riddick
Written by: Jim Wheat & Ken Wheat (characters), David Twohy (written by)
Directed by: David Twohy
Starring: Vin Diesel, Judi Dench, Karl Urban, Keith David
Rated: PG-13
Plot:
The sequel to Pitch Black, which was enjoyable, under-the-radar movie. It's one I never expected to get a sequel.
Chronicles of Riddick follows Richard Riddick as he escapes from mercenaries and is chased by the dreaded necromongers who want to kill everyone.
Review:
The first movie was a focused low budget adventure. This movie obviously has a big budget and covers a lot of ground. It's definitely entertaining but falls into the typical tropes. It does a lot of things competently, but doesn't do anything exceptionally. The rating makes it feel watered down with a scope that could have spanned a couple of movies. The film needed a couple less characters and more focus.
It depends.
