Men (2022)
If you like black mirror you would like this!
Very Charlie brook the whole film from start to finish is black mirror
You don't know what is going on but there are suitable hints through out
Brilliant acting through out
Using the same actor for several people was brilliant
Only negative is don't class it as a horror , I can even state what genre it is! Whatever black mirror was in, it's that.
Gasoline Alley (2022)
Poor Devon!! Best thing in this
Poor Devon Sawa with the likes of Bruce Willis and luke Wilson that this movie might have bumped him back to A list status...
But unfortunately Bruce and Luke obviously couldn't be bothered and only did it for the pay and all the other actors weren't even on the same level..
Could of been a good film otherwise
After his latest performances in the Chucky tv show and even in stupidly funny Black Friday just hoping he can rise a bit further!
Spencer (2021)
Wait for the crown to come out
Oh dear god I lasted 20mins!
Artsy fartsy rubbish!
The music was horrendous! Main reason I turned it off!
Kristen steward wasn't bad but again was playing her moaning constantly in pain character but with an English accent which wasn't bad at all.
I would rather wait another year till the crown season 5 comes out and watch that!
Don't waste your time on this.
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Marvel get is so right yet DC get it so wrong!!!
This film was a waste of 2 hours
Only highlight was Harley Quinn AGAIN!
It was like the writer knew they didn't have enough of a story line for the full 2 hours so they just added random scenes of crap!
Can't fault then actors as they were all good. But it was just didn't flow at all.
When you compare to a marvel film which keeps your gripped for 2:39hours this just doesn't compare.
I am watching this as a massive comic fan of both the comics but DC continue to get it wrong! Wonder women 1984 was just a complete mess and to some degree so was has all the other films!
The only saving grace for dc at the moment has been Shazam and I am waiting for them to screw that up with the second!
F9 (2021)
Fast and ridiculous!!!
If you wanna watch a brain numbing film with nice cars and explosions then this is for you!
As for me the only highlight of this film was the ending bit with Jason statham
First 10 mins was a car chase with crap CGI and a car chase which couldn't even possibly be believed...
The film lasted over 2 hours and I think most of the parts where added just to pad the film out.
I don't know why they have continued to make these films as they left them in a really good place after the tragic passing of Paul walker...
They have now just turned them into a cash cow where the studios are coming up with more ludicrous ways to make them more explosive with no really story line or proper character development...
You don't need a brain to watch this film.
2 and half hours of my life I will never get back !
Paintball Massacre (2020)
Quite good! Better than most American low budget films
This was quite a surprise, had elements
Of Danny dyers severance but was enjoyable
To watch.
The one liners from some of the characters was brilliant and so funny
Over I thought it was a much better than some
Low budget American films I've recently watched!
We decided to view this film after watching a major hollywood flick archenemy and out of the two I would
Rather of watch this.
The story line was great some of the effect where are you would expect but overall a good watch
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
OMG!!! I love this movie
I'm a big fan of Eurovision anyway and thought this films was going to be big let down.. but I was completely wrong Ferrall was ok.. I mean he hasn't done anything good since the Lego movie and in this he is could of been replace with a better person. But mcadams was great and everyone else was great as well..
The story was great and I actually put my iPad down to watch this...
Would totally recommend
X-Men: Dark Phoenix (2019)
A great movie for old school comic book and cartoon fans
I was really looking forward to this film for ages but then I heard about all the bad press and that it has been pulled early from theatres I wasn't expecting much.
But after watching it I am so pleased with what they did with it! They brought all the memories from the comics and cartoon I watch so much... they kept true to the story of the phoenix Jean grey story line even with the little scenes and the fire Phoenix was excellent.
For new comers to marvel yes I can see why they were upset cause they just want to watch a movie for all the explosions are and cgi.. but this was true and great
A must see for any proper fan!
Aladdin (2019)
Just another film over taken by Will Smith
As soon as it was announced that Will Smith was going to be trying to replace the epic Robin Williams' genie my heart sank and I knew what was coming.
It felt like the casting people just gave up after they got Smith on board and thought he could carry this film on his own..
But they forgot the story line! This film is about jasmine and Aladdin and the genie is a side character...
The actors who played jasmine and Aladdin had absolutely no chemistry even when attempting a whole new world I just couldn't even see any care or affection between them.
All the CGi animals??? Why?? This ruin the film big time . Apu didn't even look like any monkey I have ever seen and the sarcasm that I love about the original characters just wasn't there..
All the main scenes of the film where again completely forgot about and just adapted to make Will Smith centre stage and don't even get me started on the genie hand maiden love story.... where did that come from!?
If Disney is going to continue ruining our classics I will certain not be giving them my money!!
Don't watch and if you do. Please immediately forget it and put the original on so you can remember how brilliant the movie should be!
The Eyes of My Mother (2016)
Not a horror - but fantastic film
For people who are expecting a slasher or bloody and gore film then this isn't one for you...
Probably one of the best films of this year and the cinematography in black and white is brilliant and just adds to the suspense of the film throughout.
Personally I loved that this film made me feel uncomfortable the entire time never knowing what was going to happen.
It makes you feel sympathetic to the main character but also for the rest of the cast as well in a messed up way!
I am not going to let anything away with this film but for commercial horror fans this isn't for you.
Think the anti Christ without sex but with a stunning female lead who work solo through out and make us fall in love yet hate and also feel Sorry for her all at the same time!
A must see
Jem and the Holograms (2015)
Fantastic Jem for a new generation
I really don't know why this film has had so many bad reviews as a long time lover of the cartoon series Jem I thought this was done very well, I loved the songs and even had to download the soundtrack as soon as the movie had ended. Apart from missing the magical closet that would appear when ever Jem would rub her famous earrings I thought it really showed the fickle nature of the music business and how young and struggling artist are manipulated in the industry!
Personally the Rio character was about as redundant as he was in the cartoon, but I guess you always need a love interest ,but still I could of done with just concentrating on the music and the struggle that the band had.
Also the only other disappointing factor was the lack of the misfits on screen, but if they are setting up for a second movie then Keisha was an excellent choice!!
Can't wait for a second film as long a they try and stay away from the love triangle that they have obviously put forward to the audience and concentrate more on the music and character development, then these series of films could really settle for a second place medal after the cartoon in my heart!!
Must watch and any one with teenagers girls would love this!!
The Boy (2016)
Another good horror film ruined by the ending
I am really starting to get tired of seeing brilliant trailers of films and praying to the horror god that finally Hollywood has made a film which has a brilliant beginning middle and end!!
Unfortunately that isn't the case with this film!
From the trailer you would think this film would be on par or similar to the The conjuring Anna belle but better, but guess what.... Its not..
From the fake English setting the random plot line, this film just has disappointment all over it!
The beginning starts off slow as with any good horror movie to draw you in and create suspense! The story of a couple who have lost their son and the spirit possessing a doll seems a good plot in theory and for the beginning and middle of the film this actually works. there are a lot of questions which are unanswered through out the film, like what happened to the previous nanny, and what caused the fire, but it something that can be dealt with because of other things going within the film...
The film turns south when the American nannies ex psycho partner comes into the frame! it was like the writers had ran out of ideas and just tried to finish the film as quickly as possible! changing the film from a ghost possessed doll to an obsessed crazy person living in the walls which we didn't see coming at all ruined the entire plot of the film!
It was like Annabelle meet Texas chainsaw massacre and for some reason it just didn't work as it was all shoved into a small 20 minute slot right at the end of the film! Maybe again if they had explain or shown us that something was a miss in the house then we could forgive there rush to get this film finished!
But i don't know about the rest of you but i am really tired of watching horrors and wanting to genuinely be scared and then just ending up disappointed because they have made a good scary ghost horror movie and just explain "aliens did it" or just ended the film with no explanation what so ever! i mean this works sometimes on films, but not when the film actually needs an ending and conclusion and not just credits! i think Hollywood needs someone to tell them when the film needs a conclusion ending and not just a cut to the credits with no explanation! it works for some not for most!
Verdict for this film - good but then i would switch off after an hour into it so you keep the suspense of the film in your head and are not ruined by the Hollywood rubbish after!
Amusement (2008)
highly amused
I thought this film was actually quite surprising for a b list film, I went into this film thinking that it would the same as the rest a big disappointment and leaving me wondering how I'm going to get that 1.5hrs back in my life. But this film truly surprised me, it all starts with a road trip with a young girl and her petrol head boyfriend who gets a thrill out of making his own convoys with other drivers on a long journey. After stopping at a petrol station you are introduced to a couple of the members of the convoy, one is a trucker and the other a dad of three (or so you think) as with most horror movies you come to think straight away that you know who the killer is as at the beginning all the signs point to the trucker in the convoy, but you are very much surprised. The story then switches to concentrate on the main character and heroine Katheryn Winnick ... Tabitha and her babysitting roll. And her childhood friend and her boyfriend on they way back from a club her room mate goes missing so they try to find the guy who she went home with, so end up going to this creepy looking hostel. I am not going to say any more about the story line as I really want your guys to watch this and see what you think so don't want to give anything away. All I have to say is this is a good horror flick and much better than most of the big budget a list films around at the moment. It has some very interesting twists and turns, I have to admit that in some places this film can become a bit predictable but I always except that with any horror film really but the plot really makes up for this as at some point you start to think ' hold on a minute what's going on??'
A Perfect Getaway (2009)
OK i guess
this film was OK i would say that it did have a few good twists and turns in it but nothing that was out of the blue. the main character just seemed a bit too much for this film as well i mean getting Milla Jovovich and Steve Zahn to basically play over the top character is just not there usual kind of acting;. i have to admit tho did enjoy seeing zahn as a dark character for a change he always seems to play the idiotic friend or the loser so it was good to see that he could pull the killer in this film. As for Jovoich i just find myself always seeing her character in the resident evil films, even when she tries to act like a weak girl they always end up giving her a kicking ass scene as for the plot i did enjoy it and would watch it again there are some definite jumpy parts in it. it was a slow film but worth watching.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
sob sob
i cant believe i am saying this but this must be the worst of the potter films i have seen!! i am a big fan of the books and the other 5 films but watching this addition of the potter films left me thinking have i finally out grown harry potter. i found myself watching it with excitement and just ending upi really disappointed. i have read the book and it was really good with all the little twist and basically bring an end to the some of the stories which left us all guessing. but the film just didn't give me the same feeling it just seems that harminone is out growing these film as she is just growing as an actor and i think we will see big things from her in the future but the others just seem to be flogging a dead horse!! daniel radcliff just seems to be out growing the role of harry and just giving him a tranparent and one style acting method which i thought would develop with more experience but i am mistaken. As for ron whesley, i love this actor but again he is the same he i bring nothing new to the role and is becoming predictable and boring!! as for the editing well i think have done as much as they could for the time they where given but again as all the others they have missed so much out so if you haven't read the books you cannot understand some of the little sub stories which are going on. i think i may just have to wait for the 7th installment to come and see how they are going to end the series.
2012 (2009)
I don't really know
I don't know what to say about this film really, i am in two minds about, when i watched it i enjoyed it but then having a second thought about it there was not much i thought was good about it and i also didn't understand the hype surrounding it. Deep Impact was a far better film about world destruction! John Cussack again i have 2 thoughts about his films i enjoy them but not enough to watch again and i think this is the review with this film.
the CGI was good but that was the it the film was predictable to the point where i could see what was going to happen with every scene. i usually write longer reviews on films but i cannot think of the words to describe what a let down this film was! come on Hollywood!!! you must be able to do better than this!!
Halloween II (2009)
What the hell!!
I don't understand why you would tamper with a classic the Halloween 2 of the 70's was brilliant. the reason i loved these films so much was that Michael myers was a normal boy who snapped, and then he just looked like a normal man who could do all these paranormal things. he was one place and then somewhere else 2 seconds later but the new rob zombie version just ruined all that!! i mean making Michael the size of a whestler what is that all about. he even went to the extreme of making him talk!!! HEllO!!! Michael myers never spoke and we never saw his face after the first briefing in Halloween, i mean the killings had no art to them what so ever it was just your dead thats it!! pathetic!!! And i know that rob zombie's wife is nice looking and stuff but for god sake does he have to use her in all his films can she not get a role unless he does the film or something??? Also what the hell did he do to Sam lumus?? a celebrity ??? someone who was completely self involved and had completely forgot about Michael. HIS WHOLE WORLD WAS MICHAEL!!!! I just wish someone would talk to these director before they start messing with classics and tell them that if they are planning to butcher the story line completely to rename the film and stop disappointing the people who have been fans for so long!!!
Paranormal Activity (2007)
Brilliant blows Blair Witch out of the water
Well what can i say about this film except OH MY GOD!!!! it was a casual Sunday afternoon when i saw the trailer for this film and immediately i was gripped by it, i have search for ages to find a horror film that will actually scare me to the point where i think twice about before i go to sleep. but this film ticked every one of my horror boxes. at first i thought it was going to go the way of Blair witch and basically be a lot of talk and no action but i was quickly mistaken. i love the actors who play the leading couple they just convince the audience that they are a really couple and all these events are really happening. the high light of this film for me has to be the bit where the demon basically drags Katie from the bed and down the hall, and this is the part that has stuck with me, the way she screams as she get dragged down the hall made shiver all over. I mean who wouldn't freak out if these events were happening to you. The films is slow in places but this just adds to the anticipation of the film, the slow bits are the bit you have to watch as this explains why these events are happening. I have also seen the alternative ending of this film and i think this is the ending which they should of kept, basically it show Katie standing over mika and then goes downstairs as she does in the original all of the sudden you hear the scream and mika running downstairs to find her, all of a sudden there is nothing and sudden you hear heavy foot steps coming up the stairs and suddenly the lifeless body of mika is thrown into the camera followed by a possessed Katie crouching over his body. sudden she looks into the camera and her face turns into a demon and bites the camera. well this is much better than the ending they have with her basically getting shot by gun happy cops!!!
So well done to this and i hear they have already lined up for a sequel so please invite me to the premiere so i can be the first to see it
