Somebody Help Me (2007)
Terrible
I love horrors with well thought out story lines, using common sense and a plot that also makes sense.
This movie has none of these.
Where do I start.
First off the whole point of the story is vague and the stupidity of the characters (or should I say Director)is beyond belief.
1. Six of my friends have gone missing in the woods so what should the 2 of us do - I know 'let's split up and meet back here in an hour'.
It gets worse folks.
2. Let's find a cop car with a shotgun in it but leave it behind when I go to free my friends.
3. Let's stab the killer in the back then drop the knife in front of him then leave only to return and he ain't dead.
4. I go to free my friends but (of course) have left the keys in the killers pocket.
The gore of taking body parts off victims is never explained.
The little girl is also never explained.
The whole thing is a complete mess.
The only plus point is the acting is OK but I cannot believe they made a sequel to this.
That is one I will AVOID!!!!!

Speedway (1968)
Speedway - A step in the right direction!
When Elvis filmed 'Speedway' in June of 1967 it was a time of change. He had been married just over a month, Priscilla was pregnant with Lisa-Marie and this film would be his biggest hit since 1965.
Elvis looked great, had a leading lady of star quality but mostly he seemed to find joy in making movies again. The rapport with Bill Bixby (sadly lost on 'Clambake') is excellent and their banters and on screen one-up-manship make for some delightful exchanges.
The title track is sung with gusto while 'Let Yourself Go' and 'Your Time Hasn't Come Yet Baby' are other stand-out tracks.
A year later in the June of 1968 history would be made when Elvis once again entered a stage for the first time in 7 years to record his TV special for NBC now affectionately known as 'the Comeback'.

Halloween: Resurrection (2002)
A Cut Below The Rest......
The first 15 minutes are handled wonderfully with the demise of Jamie Lee Curtis. They could have tagged this on the end of H20 and saved the producers a small fortune in paying out a further fee.
The rest of the movie doesn't do much for the franchise and apart from the last 10 minutes or so doesn't hold much tension or suspense either.
If Michael was truly killing people via an internet link wouldn't the police be there a lot earlier?
Let's hope Halloween 9 is a lot better with more thought put into the story and stronger characterizations.
Laurie Strode rest in peace!!
