The Mountain Between Us
The real key to surviving the wild is
getting an appetite for wolf meat.
However, due to the altitude in this
romantic-adventure, cougar meat is more likely.
When a storm strands an ill-tempered
neurosurgeon (Idris Elba) and an engaged photojournalist (Kate Winslet) in
Boise, the strangers pool their funds and hire a private contractor (Beau
Bridges) to fly them through the tempest.
Mid-flight the pilot passes out and careens
into a mountain, where the polar opposite pair battle the elements to make it
to shelter. Along the way, they learn to lean on each other in more ways than
one.
From its toothless circumstances to its
lukewarm romance, this adaptation of the bestselling novel is a lopsided love
story shoehorned into a tale of survival that never fully commits to either of
its fanciful story lines.
Furthermore, be careful when making out
with a starving person as they tend to bite.

Flatliners
The worst part of dying is when the Grim
Reaper shows up with your bill.
Existential reparation aside, returning to
the living like they do in this horror more is much worse.
Using themselves as test subjects, a group
of morbid medical students (Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev) pierce the
veil for a full minute before returning to the living with extraordinary new
abilities.
But those aptitudes come at a price, and
soon each participant is haunted back in the real world by the spectre of a
past sin they have committed. Now, the only way to appease the spirits is to
make amends.
An unnecessary update of the middling 1990s
psychological thriller, this tepid retelling doesn’t do much in way of adding
to the pre-existing source material. With low-rent chills and half-ass
performances, this stiff is DOA.
Besides, it’s way cheaper to tempt death
playing the choking game. Red Light

Final Destination
The key to affordable air travel is wearing
everything in your suitcase.
However, this supernatural thriller occurs
before passengers had to pay to bring luggage.
Suffering a traumatic vision of a plane
crash minutes before he and his classmates are to board their flight to Paris,
Alex (Devon Sawa) attempts to warn everyone but is ejected from the flight,
with others (Seann William Scott, Ali Larter).
When the plane does explode, an unseen
entity stalks those who heeded Alex’s warning and survived. With freak events occurring all around them,
the survivors must now stay one step ahead of Death itself.
The first installment in the long-running
franchise, this 2000 teen horror still makes an impact. With an array of
intricate occurrences to keep viewers tense, this invisible interpretation of
the Grim Reaper is certainly a unique one.
Moreover, the Reaper loves travelling by
air because it reminds him of Hell.
