Ice age collision course is now the fifth and will always be the last in the franchise. It also breakes a record as it is the only computer generated film to have a five movie franchise and what a fun time its been.this movie came unexpectedly and although in ways not needed it was a fun watch. Peaches has wedding feaver much to mannys dimay as he hates the cutesy lovey stuff. Even sid and diago both have partners. Buck makes an apperence again and im happy he does his humor is something always needed and after spending too long with the dinosaures he might have lost it a bit. There is no real villian to this movie just an adventure to save their lives, which is caused by scrat breaking an astroid in half with his acorn, and flying a ufo for some reason. Its all good fun and with the great voice talents back once more collision course is a good end to the franchise that has been one of the best.

Collision Course
(2012)
an ok scify plane film
23 May 2024
So somehow these citizens jake and kate have to land a passenger plane. I think the science is very iffy here but we are not watching it for that really are we. The acting is not great as can be expected. This solar flare comes out of no where and hits a plane which techniqually should fry the autopiolet aswell. The captain dies and his assistant is knocked unconcious.so jake and kate a woman who wrote a book somehow have to take charge. A womans dog is missing in the cargo hold and a racist fella called bill is throwing acusations. The characters are actually alright and I didnt mind them. Overall its an alright film for what it is.
City of Lies
(2018)
intriguing biographical film
22 May 2024
City of lies tells the story of two cops. Played by johnny depp and forrest whittaker, and is based on the evets surrounding the murder of the notrious big and also tupak at the same time. It was instriguing to see the things that went on behind the press and how the case consumed the cop that had been trying to solve the murder for nrarly twenty years. It was never solved but I thought this film was well made and an interesting watch. The cast chosen was good and its nice seeing depp in films again, whittaker did equally as well. City of lies is a good film overall and one of a few films based on real events that actually has some truth behind it.
The Invitation
(II) (2022)
A drab vampire film
21 May 2024
I usally like vampire movies, but this is something that didnt fit the norm with them types of films and if anything i found myself dozing off trying to watch the first half hour. Its a slow starter though somehow fast at the same time. Evie gets an invitation to attend a wedding in england for family that she knew nothing about. A lot of scenes are hard to see and not lit well but its clear that something in this big mansion is off, from the fact the maids have numbers and the fact a lot of the main story happens at night. I thought the cast were fine and did their jobs well but for the actually plot it was lacking and did become boring more as i watched it.
The Strangers: Prey at Night
(2018)
why do you think
20 May 2024
The strangers prey at night hits you from the get go. We see an older couple. A knock but no one is there and then dollface is in the corner and she askes why are you here like she knew her. We then go to a somewhat happy looking familyCindy and husband mike are going on a vaction to see their uncle taking son luke and daughter kinsey before she goes to bordering school but its not long that theri happyness is shortlived and they find themselves fighting for their lives against the strangers this sequal was well cast and it was nice seeing characters have a bit of survival instinct in them . Overall a pretty enjoyable sequal.
The Strangers
(2008)
sometimes subtlety is best
19 May 2024
The strangers is a film that dosnt need to rely on totle bloodshed and full on horror to be effect as the build up to the events that take place is what really does it. Its inspired by true events. Two boys find a grizzly scene and we start the film. James and kristen have just come back from a wedding and they don't seem to be on best terms after a half baked engement. A mysterious blonde woman appears at the door and seems to be lost but oh no she really is not and knows what shes doing. What follows for the remainder of the run time are this group of three strangers that stalk james and kristen and make their night a living nightmare as they inflict psycological and pyscial damage upon them. Scott speedman and liv tyler were great choices and fit the role of the couple well they are not to full on hollywoody and it makes their performance seem normal. The three strangers also did well and its a very effective film overall with what it intended to do.
Breakwater
(2023)
A decent crime film
18 May 2024
This was a pretty decent crime film. Breakwater ad that kind of name that makes you think of a small town with secrets, this is not that but still an interesting crime film Dovey is in prison and meets ray, played by dermet mulhoney. Dovey is getting out in a while and so inbetween the laughs and time spent with other prisoners he asks him to do one thing for him, look for his daughter. So he sets out, unaware that ray finds his own way out to try and get some treasure from a suken ship and what it culminates in is a fight that not everyone might get out of. Ovrall a decent film. It had good acting and a good approch to the plot to.
Minions: The Rise of Gru
(2022)
good animated sequal
17 May 2024
Its been a while coming but the sequal to the origins of our favourite yellow fellas has brought the origin story of someone else. Minions the rise of gru shifts the focus now to young gru, who wants to be the greatest villian the world had ever known. The six are good villians each animated well and bring good secondary characters to the plot. This film probably could have been called despicable me rise of gru but never the less its a fun animated sequal whos main side plot is about an amulet that will give the six big power if used at the right time, overall minions the rise of gru is a good film and a good sequal.
Night Swim
(2024)
don't go into the pool at night
16 May 2024
Night swim is the new effort from the great mind of jason blum. Its not full on horror but it has all the right componants and they are made well. It starts with a young girl in the ninties. She sees a toy boat in the pool outside. She cant wake her brother and sneaks past her mother to see it. Something happens and then title card. Retired baseball player ray moves into this house with his family but little do they know what lurks. They all clean the pool and it looks pretty good. The visial effects are done well from the thing that lives in it and the the eerie pool light going on and off. The horror dosnt only happen at night though and its strong enough to make the day scenes work well to. Night swim has a great cast and their characters are well and overall its a decent horror film.
Baghead
(2023)
talk to me did it better
15 May 2024
Baghead is a film that sounded better on paper, as opposed to the final outcome. A young girl called iris gets her belongs from her apartment she gets checked out of with her friends. She then learns her father had died and left the pub she knew nothing about to her, the cgi for the fathers death was not really the best. Freya allens acting was the strongest in the film and she did her best with what she was given to work with. Baghead was an interesting character who was made well but she didnt get used to their full portential. The film was interesting though and still a good watch it just needed a little more umph.
Cabin Fever
(2002)
Eli comes crashing through
14 May 2024
This original version is one of the best flesh eating virus movies iv'e ever seen and I think it might be one of the only as Eli has done something special here and redeyfiny horror without the need of an actual villian. In the same vain as the final destination series the perpertrator of the crime is something not living as the audiance themselves don't know what started it but once a group of college kids on summer vakay come to the cabin and one of them gets sick from a dead dude in the water paranoia almost becomes the real killer. This film had good suspense. I found myself actually feel for the characters and the cast did well, even Eli himsef having a role overall cabin fever is a great example of early two thousands horror at its finest.
You Can't Escape Me
(2023 TV Movie)
better acting atleast from the lead
13 May 2024
This films best point is the acting and no I don't mean the rest of the cast, especially the friend she stays with when she moves as shes over the top. I mean erin herself gina vitori. Iv'e seen her in a movie called saurranded and seeing her here she was actually pretty decent/ her husband jared is a colossal dauche.hes abusive so she has to leave her good friend and mother behind and movie but of course its never going to be plain sailing. Erin also does really well at training in the gym. Theres nothing much else to say about this film. Erin was good and fun to watch its plot was decent and overall an ok film.
The Venice Murders
(2023 TV Movie)
bit far fetched
12 May 2024
Sophie hopkins plays celia a budding art student that wants to go to art school venice. We start the film with a young woman getting kidnapped there but nothing else is really known about her. She has an aunt the mother never got along with, which is why she lives there but once she is there her new romate evie goes missing not long after. A guy at the docks meets her and he gives off bad vibes. Acting is sub par though I think the main actress did alright actually. She must team up with the aunt to find her and she seems to just go along with it.overall good to watch but the venice murders is a bit of a far fetched film.
Brian and Charles
(2022)
I want to go to honal loop loop aswell
11 May 2024
This was a refrushingly fun movie. Its humor was almost deadpan and the delivery of it by both charles and brian brought a good buddy dynamic. David earl plays Brian, an inventor of all different types of things and his happy enough to let a camera crew around his farm so he can show them everything he had made. After being a bit lonely and finding a disguarded manaquin head he decides to build a robot, which unfortunatly dosn't work. After a storm however he suddenly does and brian finds his now alive companion eating cabbage in the yard. Charles is played by chris haywood who should be congratulated for wearing the costume and being able to walk around in it to. Both great characters and I loved the jokes and fun bits throughtout. I thought overall brian and charles is one of those rear gems but I really liked it overall and it was pretty well made.
The Babadook
(2014)
Pretty good Australian horror
10 May 2024
Amelia is living with her young son samuel. She lost her husband in a car crash an undisclosed amount of time ago and shes finding it hard. Samuel wants his memory kept alive and finds himself in the basement amoungst his things. Playing magician and trying to use a homemade crossbow. One night trying to get him to sleep she reads a bedtime story of the babadook, a stange book that seems to just appear on the shelf but both of them accept it. Its very haunting and off putting about a man in a hat, very reminiscent of the cabinet of dr caligare. Amelie has a funny turn and strange things surround the house leaving poor samuel to fight for his life. Its pretty eerie. The main leads are both great and overall a pretty creepy and good horror.
Sins in the Family
(2023 TV Movie)
ok but nothing great
9 May 2024
Sins in the family was alright, it did what it had to do in terms of this kind of film. The actress playing rose is the furthest you can get from a highschool student and whilst on this subject the acting seemed very forced especially for the female cast and the long awkward silences between two characters didnt help either. So rose is living a quiet life with her parents that is until school conceller zara shows up and as the two get close she says something that makes her world crumble and thrusts her into uncovering the truther behind everything its overall one of those standered films for its genre but alright still.
Pocket Dial Murder
(2023 TV Movie)
lackluster
8 May 2024
Stacey is at work and gets a pocket dial from her husband jeff. But instead of hearing his voice, she seems to hear the voice of a woman getting murdered. He says he lost his phone so naturally stacey thinks his up to something. The big let down with this film was acting the diolgue seemed cheesey in places and not the good kind. The main actresses playing her couldnt move her face so showing emotions was something not possible, it works the same as the rest of these films so ir was a easy to work out in the end what was really going on. Entertainment wise it was still good for what it was, nothing great but still something.
Great irish crime film
7 May 2024
Its nice to see Liam go back to his roots and see him in an irish film, its also one of his better action films of recent. In this he plays finbar a retired hitman that decides to hang his gun up after shooting cans with ciaran hinds. Im also happy ciaran is here another fine actor. After a car bombing near a cafe the culprit finds their way to finbars peaceful village and soon they relise they shouldn;t have because he means buisness and messing with his land is one way to get a tree planted on you. The paceing was good and it was a really enjoyable film especailly the cast which was pretty exceptional all over pretty impressed.
Jurassic World Dominion
(2022)
good but weak
6 May 2024
I think overall dominion was a bit of let down. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed this film for its entertainment purposes but for the end of the trilogy it needed more. Where fallen kingdom left of I thought now some of the dinosaurs would have caused so much destruction that earth turned into the planet of the apes style world. But no for the most part everyone is getting on. Owen and claire have their adopted daughter and live in a cabin but when a threat of mutated locusts appears for some reason that becomes the focal point of everything. The strongest thing here was bringing back legacy characters, which in my opinion they did well. Neil,durn and goldbloom brought charm that we needed and really them being in this film made it so much better. Of course though the dinosaur threat could have been better but still an enjoyable film for what it is.
Bullet Train
(2022)
Great action film
5 May 2024
Bullet train sure was something different. Interesting written characters with a compelling plot. Good coordinated action sequences and a good mix of humor thrown in with some of the slower scenes. Brad Pitt plays Ladybug. A man taking over for someone called carver and is tasked with boarding a train by sandra bullock. He needs a brifcase. As well as him there are two twins called lemon and tangerine. Great characters and both great actors that add the comic relife. They need the briefcase for a ransom, and joey king the prince needs it to kill her father. But theres another reason why these people are on this train and something I had fun figuring out. There are more great characters including the hornet and the wolf and the elder that are equally as interesting. Overall a very well made action film with great acting and action.
[REC] 4: Apocalypse
(2014)
Pretty great closer
4 May 2024
I couldnt find anything wrong with this. So we now skip over genesis but this movie is set after the events of the wedding and after a team of four men are sent back into the ill fated apartment in order to do a secret mission that no one else knows about. But while there they happen to stuble upon Angela who is somehow still alive. They take her camera and she ends up waking up on a ship. The drs on the ship are doing somthing unknown and a fan called nic knows her and so his taken care of the footage. But of course something else is on this ship and its not long before once more poor angela finds herself in harms way and fighting for her life. I thought this was a pretty great end to the series and I like that its one continuas story. I also liked the departure from foundfootage as it does fix any plot holes that might appear otherwise. Good cast and pretty enjoyable film overall.
Expend4bles
(2023)
More of the same
3 May 2024
And that's not always a bad thing. The expendable movies all follow the same kind of pattern. We see each team member before they assemble. There's a beginning bit showing the villians. Some punches are thrown and wise cracks are said and they get to the real explosions. Off the bat this film is a lot more violent than the others showing people logically shot to pieces. We have Megan fox added now as Christmases girlfriend and she does well though her acting let's it down. The wonderful levy tran is here as tash who would be great in an all female group. Food cast overall. Good acting though the plot cpuld have had more it was still very entertaining tp watch.
Sleepless
(III) (2017)
sleepless in vegas
2 May 2024
A pretty good film in the crime drama, this action thriller stars jamie foxx as vincent, a les vegas cop thats been undercover for years trying to get his man, things go wrong during a heist and he is forced to stash some cocaine away, somthing that he might well need later on. All the while michelle monogan and david harbour are on his case. The bad guys need his cock otherwise it will create more problems. Acting was pretty decent here. Foxx I find a good actor and it was a believable story. I think its a good action film that worth it when getting near the end. Overall im happy with this film and it was a good watch.
[REC] 3: Genesis
(2012)
unholy matramony
1 May 2024
In a departure from the events of the first two films we have genesis, which takes place at the same time of the events of the first film, but the infection zone this time focusing on a wedding. Clara and koldo are getting married and so they hire someone to film the event and also one of the kid relatives joins in in filming. I like that after the quick event happens with everyone in chaos the movie actually cuts from found footage to tradtion film, as koldo smashes the camera thats filming them. I liked the quick action of this and it was pretty drepressing but man clara is badass with a chainsaw. The story was interesting and the cast did well and overall its good to get a perspective on things happening to other people at the same time in this universe.
[Rec]²
(2009)
good continuation
30 April 2024
Just like rec I found this film eqaully as great. Set 15 minutes after they lost contact with the people in the apartment, A swat team is now sent in to find out whats going on. And also filmed through the body cams of the swat members. A few cast from the first film make apperecnes as infected as the swat go through the building. There are also three teens, another cop, and the father of jessica going into the basement. The kids want to film to get money out of it and the cop is there to help the man find his family. The infected are just as creepy and we get a little more back story added to what was already there and it helps make both films one big movie. Actors for the swat were all good and additional characters were believable aswell. Overall a good movie and a great follow up.
