New Year, New Scares Split Split is one of the best thrillers out there thus far. The sheer factor of fear mixed with twists at every corner will have you on the edge of your seat. And it’s by far some of the best acting James McAvoy has ever done. He plays 24 different personalities! Absolutely phenomenal. And if you ask me, he got cheated out of a nomination. Overall, you must see this movie if you are a true thriller fan. Rate: 5 Stars Rings Rings is an amazing addition to the original movies. It’s exactly like the other movies in that it follows the same classic, creepy plot...watch the tape and you will die. However, it’s changes are through the message of the movie itself. Although it might not seem like it, this movie actually has a lesson to be taught about the new generation and the flaws it faces. Audiences will appreciate it’s commentary for that's what makes the entire movie tie together. Rate: 4 Stars Boo! A Madea Halloween Madea’s Boo! kills me everytime I watch it! It has the perfect mixture of spooky and funny that’ll have viewers crying of laughter and tense for fear. Sometimes it can be difficult to master a movie quite like this one because its elements are so contrasting but Tyler Perry hit the nail right on the head. He always knows how to make a solid movie and is very under appreciated. In fact, no Tyler Perry movie has ever let me down… especially not this one. So if you’re looking for an laid-back night, put this movie on a enjoy its crazy ride. Rate: 4 Stars
