Red Dog (2011)
Will melt your heart
I understand I am totally prejudice with this review as I own a cattle dog myself... I think it is a really great example of the dedication of these animals.. The Australian Cattle Dog is a very unique animal. I love that this movie actually takes into account the characteristics of the cattle dog... They really DO choose their owners... I got lucky and mine chose me.. But that IS a real thing. They really do that... And if they choose you... lol.. Good luck.. You are theirs forever... And they will never leave you.. EVER... A very good movie, in my opinion.. Apparently my review doesn't have enough lines for submission. Here is the needed one.
Dream Home (2006)
p.o.s.
what the "f" was that...
Is there really no type of film association out there to decide what can be sold or rented as a movie and what can't? Not to sound privileged but I think anyone who sees this P.O.S. deserves their money back. I got this from Blockbuster and if I didn't already know those Nazi's wouldn't refund my money, I would ask for it back. I made a movie in sixth grade about my dog that had better dialog, story line and closure than this. This is the only movie that has trumped Ghost Lake as the biggest pile of crap. I mean really, do these video stores even give a crap what they're renting out anymore? Isn't this some sort of scam? Did I mention the word "crap"?
Dead End Road (2004)
Where am I?
How in the world does a thing like this get into my DVD player at home? How does it even get to be packaged and distributed? Are there absolutely zero screenings a movie (and I use that term loosely) have to go through before it's put on a video store's shelf anymore? I'm all for DIY film making but come on! That doesn't entitle me to get a group of my friends and relatives together, a crappy camcorder, an awful story and put it all together to create a heaping pile of crap and call it a movie. And I wish people would quit using the words "Indie" and "Campy" to describe these types of movies. They're not either. In no other profession would something like this be considered acceptable. If someone tried to sell you car that was as bad as this movie, you'd take it back and say it was a lemon. If it was a surgical procedure, you'd be suing the doctor for malpractice. I wish I could get my time and money back after watching this. Shame on the video stores who stock movies like these. They're a rip-off to the public. You want "campy"? Go get any of the Friday the 13th movies (even the LATER ones) or Dead-Alive. At least those don't make you want to kill yourself. It's because of movies like this that make people automatically equate independent with garbage.
Urban Ghost Story (1998)
not so much ghost
I first heard about this movie in an article I read in the publication Cemetery Dance and had been looking for it ever since. I have to say, it really wasn't what I was expecting when I rented it. In my opinion, this movie centers more upon an adolescent girl's ability to deal with guilt/grief from a horrible auto accident than upon any poltergeist/demon or ghost (if there ever even was one...) The acting was descent, and the arrangement of the film was such that it kept you interested and waiting for something to happen, but as far as delivery, I felt a little let down. While I am the first to agree that the less you see of a monster, the scarier it is, In this case there just really didn't seem to be much haunting going on. Some wraps at the door, a dresser being moved (maybe) and some noisy pipes are about all we got. I thought there was a lot of potential for this film to be better by tying it in with the girl's trauma, but no conclusion was ever really made. Was it real? Was it not? For those of you who have seen Emily Rose, you know what I'm talking about. Perhaps I was just in the mood for a film where there was more of a paranormal climax than a psychological one. Not that it was a bad film, but with a title like Urban Ghost Story, I had expected a little more spook for my buck.
