Journey to the Center of the Earth (1988)
I want the one and a half hours back
Bad acting has nothing to do with this, it's ridiculous story line is totally unbelievable. Alien From LA was a decent movie for what it was. This story started off floundering to gain momentum and failed miserably. A nanny from England (Nannies R Us) looses her job, goes back to the office, a call comes in and they tell her she's going to Hawaii, just an average day in the office. She goes to Hawaii,finds out she's a nanny for a failing musician and he wants her to be a nanny for his dog, she takes the dog for a walk and winds up following two brothers to a cave, inactive volcanic supposedly after a hotel worker puts her basket into a jeep and she follows them in a Yellow Cab and winds up in Atlantis. The story doesn't end, one brother never makes it into the story very far and you never find out what happens to him and the film leaves the story incomplete. And I could care less what happens next. It ends with a montage of random clips, the end.. If this was supposed to have a sequel it would be a horrific waste of time and money. It fails before the 2nd part, this part even starts. Albert Pyun was right.
Siren (2013)
Worth watching
I watched this without knowing what it really was about. Saying that I was very surprised with the quality of the acting and production never having heard of any of the actors involved. The story grabs you right away and guides you through this journey of a girl that lives like a hermit because of a medical oddity she gained after puberty, she emits pheromones that effects anyone around her until she meets a man who is unaffected by her. She begins a relationship for the first time since her parents died. He has a medical problem, he cannot smell anything. She winds up trusting him and you find out he is not the man she thought he was. Nicely told story that ends unexpectedly. I did think this was going to be a thriller/horror movie but was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't.
