Meet your Nemisis!

Advantages: action packed.
Disadvantages: slightly wooly plot

...to conquer the movie world. Resident evil made a slowish start. The first film was watchable, and for a fan of the games like myself, it was entertaining. It seems, that the series is getting stronger, though, as apocalypse turns out to be a rip-roaring success. Highly enjoyable, and memorable for more than just Milla Jovavic (or, Milla yoyo-a-bit.). Yes she is a fox, but she could also kick your ass! The perfect woman! We left the last film with ...
...escape is thwarted by umbrella, the evil corporation behind the t-virus. Her friend Matt, who was the only other survivor of the hive, was also taken by umbrella, but he was taken to be in the nemesis project. Umbrella release the t-virus upon Racoon city. The city was chosen as it could be locked down, to contain the spread of the virus if need be. Then, into the zombie covered streets, the company unleashes its two champions. Good versus evil, ...

Taking One For The Team

Advantages: Can Be Used As A Drinks Coaster
Disadvantages: Bad Acting, Bad Direction, Bad Editing, Bad Script, Just Bad

...best lukewarm. But no matter, I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer is a crowning achievement. Thank you to Sony for pumping money into what is a 90-minute tutorial on how not to make a film, any budding Spielberg's put there can pop in a copy of this and learn to avoid all the pratfalls that they could embark on. I'll Always Know is horrific in everything it attempts. For those not initiated in Horror let me trackback. The original film saw ...
...in a road accident. They throw his body into the water and vow never to utter another word of the night again. A year later, the fisherman returns in a bloody rampage. The sequel saw the surviving members of the original film get tricked into going to the Bahamas where lo and behold the fisherman is still around and still has the nark. So we have a fisherman with a hook who's a bit crazy. This film has a bunch of teenagers stage a July 4th prank ...

Review of I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer (DVD)

A really bad attempt at a horror film!

Advantages: I don't think there's any redeeming features about this!
Disadvantages: I don't think there's any redeeming features about this!

When A Stranger Calls is a remake of the 1979 horror, now I haven’t seen the original but my Dad has & after seeing the remake he told me that the original was miles better than the remake & I can very easily believe that! When A Stranger Calls was released 3rd February 2006, it’s rated 15 & runs for approximately 99 minutes. The film pretty much bombed at the box office, having said that it did gross an estimated $66.9 million on a $15 million budget ...
...to the not even mediocre When A Stranger Calls is a significant drop in class & if his next film follows the same pattern my predictions for it are extremely bad! The main character Jill Johnson is played by Camilla Belle who’s appeared in films such as: Jurassic Park & 10,000BC. Her upcoming film is called Push & stars Chris Evans & Dakota Fanning. When A Stranger Calls, I think the title pretty much gives it away don’t you? For those of you who ...

Dead Birds

Advantages: creepy, good sound
Disadvantages: slow

...a good idea. Dead Birds was recommended to me a little while ago and I decided to rent it out to see what it was like. And whilst its title is misleading I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the film, it is by no means perfect but it is far from being a complete lemon. On one side the film is fairly original in that it is set during the American Civil War, and in that whole setup looked good to me, the uniforms and the war-weary look ...
...up for their demise, in Dead Birds the actions seem natural and not forced, that of course makes them that much more believable that someone would act in a certain way. The cast, whilst not A-list stars have other projects under their belts, although I will have to say that I didn't recognise many of them, we have Henry Thomas (William), Patrick Fugit (Sam), Nicki Aycox (Annabelle), Michael Shannon (Clyde), Mark Boone Jnr (Joseph) and Isaiah Washington ...
