Visitor from Space (2016)
Even if it was what it was, it wasn't much
Sorry, but even if this was intending to be an homage to the old science fiction B movies that I grew up watching (and still watch from time to time) this movie presented itself to me as no more than a rehearsal with most of the cast not off-book and still getting a feel for their parts.
Watching this, and I watched it all, wasn't much fun for me.
Depth Charge (2008)
Something was missing
Despite the movie's title, there were no depth charges involved. None.
The Dangerous Film Club (1987)
If Monty Python and MST3K had a child
Neither MST3K nor Python, DFC is fun to watch as a combination of the two. Old film clips, original stuff and humorous commentary anchored by Mr, Chapman. Come to think of it, who remembers Fractured Flickers from the 50s? Maybe DFC is FF's grandchild?
I've seen three episodes on youtube and they may still be there
Stopped Dead (2009)
"There's a bathroom in the RV!"
The quote above which serves as the title of this mini-review is repeated so often in the movie that I believe it could even serve as an alternate title. In fact, going to the bathroom is a oft-repeated theme of this film. But thank goodness there are no actual depictions of answering the call to nature -- save a few sound-effects.
That alone said, why did I give this movie seven stars?
Well, SD was inexpensively made and poorly videotaped. But the acting was not *so* bad and the film does feature an overweight middle-aged white guy kung fu fighting. That's something.
And the movie kept me interested. I *wanted* to finish it to see what happens to the four principals.
Finally, I can't help feeling that if the movie were a French production, filmed in black and white in an unpicturesque part of France, it would be considered a triumph of the art of film. I'm not kidding!
Synchronicity (2015)
Time travel is hard!
And watching this movie is even harder. "Borrowing" the look and sound of Blade Runner just isn't enough without a story to drawn one in and Synchronicity's story is pretty weak.
A scientist invents a time/multi-verse travel machine and uses it primarily to "work on his relationship" with a young woman. And I still can't figure out who had the dahlia and when they had it or why the dahlia even mattered in the first place. Maybe I'm just slow-witted but I just didn't like this movie.
One positive note: Nice to see Michael Ironside in this one.
