Jeruzalem (2015) Movie Review

Is there a gateway to hell in Jerusalem ? That is what this horror movie suggests. American friends travel to Jerusalem, do some sightseeing, do the whole hostel thing, meet some cool people, and party around the different areas of Jerusalem. The film is in the found film style with our characters documenting their vacation on a small camera. Everything is great until the city is under siege by demons that bite people who become more zombie demons. A curfew is imposed and they city is put on lockdown. Now the group needs to escape the city. How about using the maze of caverns under the city ? An interesting twist on a zombie movie that is terrible. At least the city makes for a beautiful setting.

I give it a 4/10.

Dying Young (1991) Movie Review

Dying Young starring Julia Roberts and Campbell Scott is one of those romance movies that uses cancer as the main plot point, because if you have cancer in a movie that is not a minor plot point. You know the type of movies, a terminally ill person falls in love and the couple is doomed long-term, but right now things are great. Think, The Fault in Our Stars ; P.S. I Love You ; and A Little Bit of Heaven. This particular movie involves a nurse who falls for the man she is taking care of who is terminally ill. The plot unfolds as you think it would. A little more than halfway through the movie our patient, who has stopped his chemo wanders into the hedge maze outside his house at night. He starts to feel sick and Hilary (Julia) goes in after him.

They make their way out of the maze, but still have plenty of challenges ahead of them. The movie is ok and if you like sad romances this is the movie for you.

I give it a 5.9/10.

Elvis (2022) Movie Review

I write movie reviews on maze movies, so why is Elvis included ? Well it contains a maze scene ! This biopic film about Elvis is told from the point of view of his longtime manager Colonel Tom Parker. About 29 minutes into the film they meet for the first time in a mirror maze in a carnival funhouse when Elvis gets lost. This starts the relationship that defines the movie. Both Tom Hanks and Austin Butler are great in their roles. It is a story everyone can enjoy and will make you want to listen to Elvis music and catch some of those classic Elvis movies when you catch them flipping channels. I recommend this movie !

I give it a 7.3/10.

Maze of the Week #77 - Giraffe Maze

Maze of the Week #77 takes us to the plains of Africa or maybe your local zoo with this Giraffe Maze. While this is not my first animal maze, it is my first high level maze. I am debuting the maze this week to celebrate World Giraffe Day on June 21 !

Photo: I used this photo from flickr user Mad Ball and adapted it into a maze. I was watching a YouTube video one day and noticed that the coat of a giraffe would make a good maze

The Maze: Color. Large Size. You cannot see the maze on most screens and this is meant to be printed and solved on a large piece of paper.

I hope you enjoy the maze. Download is available on the homepage. Check out my YouTube channel !

If you like animal mazes, I have some much more simple, kids focused mazes from a few years ago. There are over 30 and my favorite are the Iguana, Pug dog and the Bald eagle.

Coming next week:

A sign maze.
