Final Days of Planet Earth (2006)
Laughably bad
I would have rated this 'movie' a 1, but it did make me laugh, so I was lenient. I am an avid Sci-Fi lover, so I stuck it out and watched the whole thing.
I read all of the other comments that were here before I placed this comment. I agree with all of the comments about lack of plot, continuity and acting, so there's no point in me repeating them.
************ POSSIBLE SPOILER HERE ************** My greatest laugh from the movie was when the 'kryptonite astronaut' said about the human shells that the aliens wore: "They're just bugs, they put their humans on one leg at a time". I really cracked up at that one. ************* END OF SPOILER ********************
I used to go to Sci-Fi conventions when I was in college and make fun of the zombie movies during the films, I would have had no problem doing the same for this one.
Only watch this if you have NOTHING else to do!
Savage Planet (2007)
It's so bad, it's funny!
I can't even go for a three! SciFi should be ashamed. This one's a stinker! Not just the effects (non-existant except for the deep space teleporter), but the acting (pitiful). May it never darken your TV set! 10 lines of comments, huh? Hmmm, well, the lead character, Cain, is the guy from The Dead Zone who Johnny Smith sees will cause a nuclear destruction of Washington, Greg Stilson. His acting skills were perhaps the best of the rest of the team, but that is really not saying anything! The opening scene of the LSD camera work while two people were swinging machetes was so predictable, it was ridiculous! "Gee, I didn't see you walking in front of me when I cut your hand off!" Sheesh! Well, that's 10 lines, about 8 lines too many! ;-)
A Touch of Hope (1999)
Reasonably interesting movie
I watched this movie, and as is my habit, I missed the very beginning of it. As such, I had no idea it was a work of somewhat sensationalized truth based on an actual person until the notes came up at the end before the credits. I thought I was watching some offshoot of "The Dead Zone", since at least 2 of the actors are from that series on the SciFi channel. My wife and I both watched and enjoyed this movie, and I think it is worth a watch. I will have to check which came first, however. I enjoy watching "The Dead Zone", so this wasn't too far from that. In this movie, I felt that the part played by the doctor/father of the young girl in a coma was somewhat overdone. His comments to the effect that 'if you succeed, it will put in doubt all of modern medicine' (paraphrased) was an unreasonable attitude, considering the situation. There are too many phenomena in this existence which are unexplained by conventional thinking and mores.
Island in the Sun (1957)
Not enough of Belefonte singing!
I love to hear Harry sing, so I was disappointed that he was only given the opportunity to sing once in this film. The acting in general was predictable and somewhat dull, but I stuck it out to the end anyway. The relationship between the murderer and the policeman was somewhat amusing.
