Movies Watched In 2018 - To Infinity & Beyond! (365 movies items)"Probably the worst movie in the Purge franchise. It's a prequel story about the very first purge that takes place on Staten Island. This is basically a race movie - the good black people of a neighbourhood taking on the evil white militias that come to their place to take them all out. What once was a franchise about surviving the night, now has become a (semi)political movie about racism and racial divides.

Movies the giraffe watched in 2018: July (26 movies items)"First viewing - July 7th I know, I know...just last month I said I'd probably skip this.

my half assed 2018 movie diary (40 movies items)" This is like, maybe the worst horror movie of all time. It's advertised as horror but plays out like some excruciatingly dull social justice drama.

Whoever wrote this needs to get their ass kicked for misleading me I want to SUE."

Movies Viewed in 2018 (361 movies items)"The fourth of The Purge franchise and the prequel, showing how the purge came about. A new government want to experiment on Staten Island by having 12 hours where all crime including murder, is allowed. When the experiment doesn't seem to be working, a much darker force is used. While it still stands as a B-movie exploitation film, the political undertones that were hidden underneath the violence are much more important here and make this a far more satisfying and terrifying experience."
July to August 2018 Tomatometer Predictions (15 movies items)"Tomatometer Guess: 48%. While The Purge movies have never been high art, they've always been adequately entertaining. This prequel should be no exception. Actual Score: 52%. If you enjoyed the previous Purge movies, The First Purge will also likely please you."
