A Cry in the Wild (1990)
Had hopes, but got little.
I sat through this entire film despite the fact that I thought it was really bad from start to finish. I was wondering how many more clichés they could cram into this turkey.
The flashbacks were bad, the acting was bad, the set pieces were thrown together badly. We had no idea if anybody was even looking for this kid once he crashed. As soon as the plane crashed I kept saying I hope he's gonna go back and get the survival stuff from the plane, but it's not until the end of the movie when for some unknown reason the plane floats to the surface of the lake, that he finally gets the kit (?)
as for the "fight" with the bear...pulease!!!
I guess the movie is aimed at young ones and that's about the only group that will see anything good in this film.
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
It's you and me Steve
After reading all these reviews it seems like I'm the only person (or one of the very few) that thinks this film is better than the first. You guys must of seen a different film than me. What I don't understand is why people criticize the plot holes in this film but not the first one. The two main ones seem to be the "who killed the ships crew" and the girls gymnastic heroics. Well heres a few from JP..
When the T.Rex comes over the wall between the two jeeps then 10 minutes later it pushes the jeep over the wall and it drops about 100 feet to the ground (after sailing through a tree). Tell me how does a 20 foot T.Rex climb over a 100 foot wall? Perhaps it used a rope.
When Sam Neil and Laura Dern are trying to keep the door to the control centre closed to keep the raptor out and Laura Dern is stretching her leg trying to reach the shotgun on the floor.The girl is hacking into the computer system, but the boy is standing behind her watching her. Why didn't Laura Dern's character ask the boy to get the gun?
What about the dismembered arm that appears out of nowhere in the utility room scene.
Where did all those technicians that were working at the start of the film, go to?
It's easy to find faults with films when you look for them.
Trouble is should I stick with my own feelings that this is a great film and be of equal mind with the most successful director of our era (who obviously likes it or he wouldn't of made it) or hate the film and be like a bunch of people who obviously know as much about movie making as I know about nuclear physics? ummm....I think I'll stay as I am. Thanks.
Paradise (1982)
This film has great body!
Although this is basically a "Blue Lagoon" rip off,it does differ enough to stand on it's own merits. There is a little more action, especially near the beginning. Also it does have the most incredible scene with Ms. Cates totally naked. Ok so it's from the back but she does have a great ass. It's worth watching just for that scene alone.
