The people under the stairs

Advantages: great comedy and a bit of horror
Disadvantages: none

...lot of emphasis more towards the comedy). Although it has some very comical scenes the film does touches on the lines of child abduction and brutality, (however, there are no real graphic abuse scenes)' **BRIEF PLOT** From the slums of a city in the U.S. a young boy called 'Poindexter', (played brilliantly by Brandon Adams), nicknamed 'FOOL', had just learnt that he and his family were about to be evicted from there home for being a late with their ...

Review of The People Under The Stairs (DVD)

When Good Movie Franchises Go Bad!

Advantages: The additional documentary
Disadvantages: None

...someone decided to resuscitate the Omen franchise...... A mistake???? Baby girl enters the world motherless, Gene and Karen York are desperate for a child and only to happy to adopt the child known as Delia (you can see what they have done here cant you Damian - Delia; who on earth would call there daughter Delia in this day and age?). Delia like with the other three Omen movies that came before it starts out nice and turns nasty; leaving a wake ...
...to read any of the Omen novels you'll find that they are filled with too much religion. I'm not saying that religion is a bad thing, please don't get me wrong here; but there really is much more religious insight than is required. The films that came off the back of the three novels realised that this was so and the screenwriters made sure that while the religious issues were addressed they were not overpowering like the novels. What the makers of ...

"I'm a Good Guy"

Advantages: Best Of The Original 3, Funny.

In the first movie, a "Good Guy" doll by the name of Chucky (Voiced by Brad Dourif), possessed by killer, Charles Lee Ray, found it's way to young owner,Andy, and soon set out on a murderous spree, while trying to transfer is own soul out of the doll and into Andy. The dolls plot was foiled and he was destroyed. In the sequel "Child's Play 2", Andy is in care, and has convinced himself that the whole incident was just a figment of his imagination, ...

Review of Child's Play 2 (DVD)

Child's Play 3 Chuck the towel in Chucky?

Advantages: Has all the fun and death of chucky
Disadvantages: Gets a little boring after the thid one

...just as in the first Child's Play. There are not really any other famous people in the film to talk about except from Chucky. His performance is as good as ever, he's evil mean and will not stop at anything to get what he wants. The puppetry and special effects of the doll is fantastic. It looks like a real doll that is moving, it does not have the mobility of a human and acts how you would expect a doll to act if it had the soul of a killer in ...
...projects including episodes of Lost, Judging Amy (Hallmark Channel). I think that this is the best thing he has worked on although everything else is not along the same lines as the child play 3. Here's a link if you are interested on what he has done. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0070474/ Here is also a link to Justin's filmography. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0923529/ These films, for some are probably a little far fetched by now, but I can't ...

Review of Child's Play 3 (DVD)

Omen what 4!

Advantages: Good for a laugh, watch hollywood get it wrong
Disadvantages: terrible movie, milking a good series of movies

...was preggars, and hey presto Omen 4., let's make her a woman so were not milking it." They basically used Omen 1 and swapped Damian's role for a girl. they got rid of the bible and used new age religion. The psychic fair s**t themselves when our anti heroine turns up. This may have been a far better film, if they just had it as a stand alone movie that had nothing to do with omen. It loses too much, by trying to be part of a fantastic trilogy that ...
