Never Ever Watch this Film!!!

Advantages: Good Actors
Disadvantages: Bad film

What a brilliant cast i thought as i looked at this DVD, Heather Graham, Lisa Zane and Carrie Ann Moss. Also after reading the blurb on the back of the bow i thought yeah this film looks good. What a mistake!!! First i'll tell you what the film is about. Heather Graham plays Olive, a supposedly sweet and innocent girl who watches as her husband kills her lover and then kills himself. This is enough to drive anyone insane but poor Olive is terrorised ...
...into. The film details how she deals with these events. Sound good, but it really isnt, the acting is actually ok and the sets are not too bad but the story is just ridiculous and pans out to an even more ridiculous ending. Carrie Ann Moss, although having her name on the DVD box is actually only in the film for about 30 seconds and says one line. The film does have a few funny moments but is definately not worth watching. I really cant tell you ...

Shes pregnant but by whom

Advantages: great watching
Disadvantages: none

Craig Barton (Arnold Vosloo) a successful surgeon is making passionate love to his wife Sherry (Jillian McWhirther), one evening when a big blinding electric blue light engulfs them. As they become aware again, they realise that two hours of their lives have gone missing. Sherry and Craig have been trying for years for a baby, with no success. Now after their missing two hours, she finds she is pregnant. Much to the delight of both of them: although ...
...reveals some of the events of that evening. Craig has now got extreme suspicions about the baby within his wife, while she thinks its all a bad dream. But who will be right? The film is excellent viewing, and very compelling. It is an interesting and different film. With the thought of aliens, and then the viewing of them in parts - proves to be very watchable. Extra features include: Chapter search, Trailer, and Cast and crew interviews. Certificate ...

Meet the Chameleon

Advantages: Down to earth alien incursion.
Disadvantages: No big names. Soppy ending

...It stars Olivier Gruner as the head of a special forces team who take on impossible missions. When sent to Mexico to re-aquire the black box from a plane crash all does not go to plan. The plane crash was just a cover to get the team to do some dirty work. They have to track down an alien and destroy it, and they've only got so many hours to do it before the United States levels the area with a nuclear warhead. This film is full of martial arts ...
...appears in many guises. The gore rating is low as this film carries a 15 certificate but that doesn't stop the excitement. In parts the alien is quite funny as it adopts the characteristics and mannerisms of those it consumes. One line I particularly enjoyed was when the alien assumes one of Gruner's colleagues identity and comments 'This human form is so sensitive', then Gruner kicks the alien in the nuts and replies 'Hows that feel?'. The special ...

Students and their Psycho's .....

Advantages: clear picture, makes you think.
Disadvantages: Poor acting, looked very cheap (was a b-movie tho)

This is not as cheesy and some b-movies I have watched. Its not really an all bad film lacks imagination, where in some part you know a 10 year could have done a better story. It's a film where you need listen to the story line. To me this is a Friday the 13th spin off, still made me giggle all the same. As the student's prepare for summer camp at Placid Pines Camps. They anticipate on it being filled with romance, sex, drink and fun. (Anyone who ...
...The Students have no idea on what's ahead of them. At Placid Pine there's a tradition on the first night of camp they all have to play a game called (wait for it) "Bloody Murder" the games a bit like hide and seek. The students start to worry as they disappear one by one. But will they catch the killer? I would recommend this film, for the cheapness it's a great b-movie horror. It says only suitable for 15 and over I think it should have gotten ...

So a bunch of eejits go camping, eh

Advantages: Funny at times
Disadvantages: Badly directed, nothing happens for most of film

Legal systems across the world and especially in the U.S.A. are notorious for a disproportionate amount of their criminal convictions being working-class ethnic minorities. But in this dull, baaad film we have eight young people all doing community service. They’re mostly rich, mostly white, mostly stupid and all annoying in some way. They’re being sent into the woods to clean it up over after the holiday season under the watchful eye of Ranger/wannabe-drillseargent ...
...majority of this film and by saying that I mean nothing happens for the majority of this film. Our characters all moan and are arrogant in one way or another despite being very obedient for apparently rebellious criminals. Rather than come to learn about their characters we just learn about their crimes, that are all far-fetched and also that basically that they’re all stupid. I mean the characters in this film are so stupid that it’s almost an insult ...
