A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Such a shame... no way near as good as the original!!
Anyone who's seen the original will agree this was an awful money making remake of a classic horror which could have been amazing but it just wasn't...
Seriously, if i had the chance to remake a movie like this.. it would have been awesome...
So much was missed out by this director.. the casting was terrible, the acting was lame, the story was choppy, there was no background build up with the characters at all so I really couldn't care less when they started to die. There was hardly any nightmarish scenes with Freddy being mensing which I obviously expected and was really looking forward too. Instead of creepy acting and eerie scenes the director just decided to overdo the music score to build up tension which just didn't have the desired affect and was obviously just to cover up the flat acting and equally flat script. The guy who played Freddy was OK I suppose but he just wasn't scary enough to look at and didn't really creep me out as much as Robert Englund did.
The whole charade was lacking everything I liked about the first Nightmare On Elm Street movie due to the complete lack of vision and story telling by the director.
Throughout the whole movie I had my head in my hands thinking " WHY OH WHY IS IT THAT NO GOOD DIRECTOR EVER GETS THE CHANCE TO REMAKE CLASSICS LIKE THIS...WHY??"
I think it should be a rule in future by which all remakes of horrors MUST be as good as or better than the original in order to be released. I mean, it must obvious to them and everybody around them when they make a dud movie which is blatantly going to flop?? All be it after after raking in some initial cash at the box office of course before fading out into a forgettable mess..
So many classic horrors get remade by rubbish directors who just have no idea or loyalty to the original masterpieces. They have no idea how to set a scary scene at all.. such a shame... could've been great.. but it was a terrible and very forgettable money making piece of steaming crap.
Will all Michael Bay's and other similar phonies please sit down and stay down because my Granny could do a better job than you lot!!
Rant over...
Whats next... Poltergeist?? hahaha.. oh dear oh dear..
Cemetery Junction (2010)
Loved this feel good film! Gervais & Merchant should be proud!!
When I first saw the trailer for this movie.. I didn't think it would be that good.. It looked slightly drab and it just didn't grab my attention. However, I thought I'd give it shot as I'm a massive Gervais fan.. and I'm so glad I did!!
I have to say I loved everything about this movie.. The cast are great and the story really takes you though the motions. It has the perfect mix of drama and comedy. The characters are well developed and I'm pretty sure most people will be able to relate to at least one of them (for me it was Snork)!!
It explores part of our human journey by expressing hope and respect for the positive values in life whilst also touching on some of the negative aspects of sheltered 70s life.
It left me with a warm feeling in my tummy and for many it will be like a having a trip down memory lane.
As an actor myself, I would do ANYTHING to be in a movie like this!!
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchants best project to date since the office!!
I'd recommend this to everyone!!
I loved it !!
Red Dwarf: Back to Earth (Part Three) (2009)
What a load of smegging SHITE !!!
This was awful !! This actually made me angry to watch as I'm a big fan of red dwarf and I feel they didn't even try to make it live up to the old red Dwarf we all know and love.
To be honest the plot was OK, it needed a bit of hamming up but it was alright. The script however was absolute tripe. I found myself anxious and frowning whilst watching this.
1) It wasn't funny at all.
2) The acting was tired terrible from all the cast apart from Kryten.
3) The Scipt was lame & terrible.
4) The story constantly contradicted itself and no care was taken to make sure this wasn't the case.
4) The camera work was lazy.
5) The editing was so very sloppy and special effects were not needed.
6) The casting for all the other characters was SHITE !!! Infarct, the only good casting there was were the two kids on the bus. Their acting outdid all the rest of the cast !! It was a rubbish tired old disaster..!!! An insult to the series !! If they make more red dwarf they should watch the stuff they made in the 90's as thats when i feel red dwarf was at its best.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Oh dear oh dear oh dear..............
I made the huge mistake of watching The Happening and this crap back to back. I wanted to walk out during both films. What a terrible film this is!!!! Brendan Fraser definitely wasn't happy whilst making this film as is sooo clear from his acting during the whole film. Maria Bello is a rubbish actress and destroyed the part. There was no screen chemistry at all between any of the characters. The story was boring and was clearly very rushed. You can see why Rachel Weisz didn't want to do it. It was full of unfunny clichés! It should never of been made. Overall... it was a big pile of unfunny, smelly...probably shat in PANTS!!!!!
