Thunder Force (2021)
Don't waste your time
Dreadful movie, I wish I could sue for the time back.
The Real O'Neals (2016)
Hardly groundbreaking
I think that if this show would have had the older brother jimmy coming out as gay that this would have been groundbreaking. As with the younger effeminate brother being gay is very stereotypical in a lot of straight people's view of what a gay man is.
Don't get me wrong I did enjoy the casts portrayals of their characters, but wish that Hollywood and tv execs would be more inclusive to the wider community. But instead they go straight(no pun intended) to the camp side.
I know a lot of gay men who don't identify as camp or effeminate, and surely that if jimmy would have been the gay brother there would be a lot of younger men struggling with their sexual identity would see that being gay isn't a one size fits all situation.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Refreshing change
Loved this movie, reminds of the old horror movies that don't rely purely on special effects.
Starts of as a standard story, but slowly the creep factor rises, little things here and there.
Things that could be accidents like blood red pool of liquid seeping out of the refrigerator, banging noses that turn out to be a cat or other animal stuck in the vents.
But then more unexplainable things happen, the cremation Furness turning on by itself, removed organs rapidly decaying.
Well worth a watch.
Passengers (2016)
Not worth watching
To be honest I found this film a waste of the actors involved.
The special effects are great, but the story was boring and flat.
Michael sheen is a great character actor and this film hardly stretched his skills as an actor.
Not suspenseful enough apart from where Jennifer Lawrence gets trapped in the bubble of water formed by the swimming pool area going to zero gravity.
Could have easily shaved half an hour off the film and without affecting the story. This is really a story about a relationship they just decided to set it in space.
The Deleted (2016)
Soft core porn disguised as a story
The premise of this show is intriguing, former cult members escape and try to return to normal life. Add in to the mix members of the cult trying to track them down and bring them back into the fold.
The reality is that the synopsis is FAR better than the actual show.
Sadly instead of exploring what its like for the former members not only escaping but trying to readjust to normal life, the writers decided to make it into soft core porn. The main cult member trying to get them back is not sinister or creepy but very bland and personality light. The show is that bad i cant even remember one of the characters names. This show isn't even So Bad Its Good its just plain sh@te. I agree with one of the previous reviews(which i wished id read before i watched this show!) this must have been written by either a sexually frustrated teen or mid thirties male.
Save yourself some time and don't bother watching this dross.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again (2016)
Total waste of time money and effort spent on this
Don't get me wrong i do think Laverne cox is a great actress(but this is the problem SHE is an actress and Frank N Furter is supposed to male not female) as when shes is singing sweet transvestite it doesn't make sense as she isn't a transvestite she is a women.
I do think that Reeve who was in penny dreadful and plays riff raff is a natural successor to the great Richard O'Brien. But this is the only casting choice i agree with( not that it makes much difference as the rest of its crap).
I don't know what the studio execs were smoking when they signed off on this but they need rehab and fast.
The original is a piece of perfection that does not require any reimagining AT ALL!
Tim curry ,Susan sarandon, Barry bostwick, Richard O'Brien, little Nell, Patricia Quinn et all are superb in their roles and no one can hold a candle to their performances.
Instead of wasting money on crap like this please can the studio execs start to spend money on some new ideas and not waste actors on these second rate pieces of crap.
But this is the problem the studio execs wont take a risk on something new so we are left with rehashed drivel like this.
You're the Worst (2014)
Best American made comedy in years
Watched the trailer and ended up binge watching series 1.
Love the fact that the characters aren't your usual cookie cutter types, American to exec's seem to love. Also how 2 people so wrong for each other are actually the perfect fit for each other. Trying to make out that they don't have feelings but it's clear to see that they are meant for each other.
Well made, realistic characters no canned laughter (hate how the canned laughter is so over used in the states). No silly costumes, these characters don't need it to be funny, they get themselves into plenty of fun to watch stuff.
Gretchens mate Lindsay living vicariously through Gretchen is fun to watch. It's clear that she wants Edgar and not her hubby.
Dysfunctional non standard and hitting the funny spot bang on centre.
Really hope that the writing stays at this level and that this runs for many years to come.
Juan de los muertos (2011)
Shaun of the dead's Cuban cousin
Totally worth a watch.
Just watched Juan of the dead and enjoyed this zombie-com with its tongue in cheek. the laughs are original in the fact this isn't trying to spoof other films to shows but the genre itself.
From Juan setting up the business with a tag line "we kill your loved ones" or the muscle man who feints at the sight of blood or the army "rescue" that's fails on every level.
So much better than walking with the dead.
Also this film has one of the best mass zombie slaying scenes I've ever seen, reminds me of the mirror ball scene in from dusk til dawn.
Watch and enjoy this little Cuban gem.
Dead Weight (2012)
Pleasantly surprised
Watched this last night and what a pleasant surprise it was.
Yeah the budget is low, but in a nod to the walking dead the filmmaker has chosen to focus on what the effects of living in the outbreak do to a person.
Instead of spending money of loads of crap make up effect(like the 6th extinction) they have concentrated on the characters and a better story than some other films in the genre.
Like the main character who is a meek and mild slacker who then goes on a downward spiral.
And it's not just the zombies that get the brunt of his change in personality.
Well worth a watch
The Rezort (2015)
What a great film
Love the zombie genre, and this is a gem of a film, don't know why it didn't get cinema release as I'd have paid to go and watch it.
What a refreshing take on the zombie movie, starts off on a bit of a positive note set after the zombies had walked the earth. But they had been contained and one enterprising business woman sets out to capitalise on this and sets up a zombie safari.
I enjoyed the acting, the story was good and kept you engaged, and unlike some films I did care what happens to the main cast.
If your looking for a zombie film that doesn't bite then look no further this is the one to watch and enjoy.
Hats off to the writers producers etc for putting together a great entertaining film, and let's hope they make a sequel with the same standard of production and writing.
Wasting Away (2007)
Stumbled across this film
So glad I stumbled across this film, it's funny a nice spin on the old classic zombie tale.
Love the switch between black and white to colour. To emphasise the zombies and the real world, reminds of the old b movies in black and white.
A good tale and lots of laughs on the way, good actors in the main parts.
In parts this is very sweet like when one of the zombies goes to ask the parents of the girl zombie for her hand in marriage.
Well worth a watch if you haven't seen it
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Utter crap
Well Ben Affleck your 2 for 2 in killing superhero franchises not content with trying to kill the daredevil franchise, you know look to batman.
WHo in that ridiculous silver suit looks like the bastard love child of a bat and a transformer.
Terrible plot, wrong actor in the role of batman.
Save yourself the wasted time and go watching anything even paint drying before you watch this.
Don't get me wrong Ben affleck is a good actor but he isn't quirky enough to carry off a superhero, just look at Robert Downey Jr., he is perfect to play iron-man/ Tony stark.
The justice league movie needs a re cast and Ben you need to make way for a more believable actor in the role, concentrate on acting or producing the superhero movie but please don't try and be another superhero
The 6th Extinction (2012)
What a load of crap
The positive reviews for this film make me wonder if they were watching the same film as me???? But when one of the reviewers is a friend of one of the makers you don't need to be Einstein to work out why the positive review!!!!
After watching this total dross I know realise that the title is more about the state of the so called actors careers after starring in this than the movie.
This has got 1 star as IMDb don't have a minus star rating as yet!
When reading the blurb about the film the idea where satanists take over a town was intriguing, thinking they would show the slow infiltration of the town, glimpses of what the newcomers are up-to, build some suspense or mystery before letting all hell break loose. But no that would have been too much effort.
Instead we are given a weak and clichéd plot, terrible acting no attempt at mythology or new spin on the old tale. When the vamps do show they are dreadful excuses for vamps, crap acting and terrible make up( I think the person who did the make up is a goth with a serious Nosferatu fetish- can't call them make up artist for fear of offending the real artists).
I didn't even finish this film as I started rooting for the vamps to pick off the 4 strangers hopefully n one be all out attack and finally let the film finish.
Wish I could sue for the time I've wasted on this.
