Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016)
Wow
How this has been rated more than 1 star is beyond me! What a load of absolute rubbish this is. It has been totally americanised and is untrue I'm many way and just doesn't have the magical feel that it should do! I honestly can't be bothered wasting my time on this review so I sugest you dont bother wasting your time either!
The Farm (2018)
I knew it was going to be bad but not this bad...
Have seen some reviews before hand i knew this movie was going to be bad but even I was surprised how bad it was, its not even laughable bad its just terrible to be honest! The acting (well if that's what you can call it) is some of the worse I've seen. You could maybe belive 2-3 people behind this but a whole community of people? Just a bit unbelievable, how have they evaded the authorities for so long and what no body has thought where have all these missing people gone? For the most part of the film its just guys walking around a farm with masks on nothing really happens or is explained. I really dont know what this movie falls under as its not scary, not funny, not a thriller its just pure bad and weird. I cant even be bothered wasting more of my time writing a review.
Braid (2018)
Just what?
If you would like to watch a movie where there is hardly a plot, literally doesnt explain anything throughout the film and isn't a horror movie then this is the movie for you! I cant give away any spoilers because I still haven't a clue as to what happened in the film. This film had potential but I honestly wouldn't waste your time on this, im left with soo many questions but no answers! But on a positive note the acting was passable....
Outbreak (1995)
Casual watch movie but nothing great!
Well I'm not going to give too much away but this movie is a casual watch movie with the cast you would expect it to be a better movie but it just lacks the cutting edge that a good action/disaster movie. The plot for the film is actually a good one and very apt for the time but the presentation of it is just lacking. Things happen way to fast in the movie, why no one one the plane or airport managed to get infected, not quite sure why the town would be nearlly rioting when they get the virus and the helicopter fight was unbelievable plus to say there dealing with a deadly virus there protection is lacking at times but overall not a bad film but it's not a classic you would watch again.
Bullet Head (2017)
Not what I was expecting but give it a go.
This film is not what you would expect and it doesnt have a large cast but I would say to give it a go. It starts off with the robbers just crashed there escape car near some derelict factory buildings after doing a robbery and you would thing it would be an all out action film but it isnt at all a sort of slow burner with flash backs and things you wouldn't expect it plays the emotion card with you. There is good acting in the film and enough action to keep you interested. It's a strange concept of a film it wasnt bad but it wasnt anything to shout about either, It's a film with a message in it is the best way of putting it.
Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)
Not bad for a sequel but nothing special
I'm going to give no spoilers away in this review. It was a decent film overall, good acting, some funny time and some scary ones. I like danny de Vito but I think they could of found someone better as the laughs seemed a bit forced at times but still be a good film for the kids to enjoy
Glitch (2015)
So much promise but left wanting more.
Season 1 was brilliant, season 2 was good but season 3 was terrible you could tell it was rushed and they wasnt renewing it for anymore seasons. There where more questions than answers in the last season and brought 2 new people into in and I honestly dont really see the point. Plus why have a story line of a hunter (phil) turn into someone that wants to help them to then turn him back briefly to then kill him, as well try to add different places to no real point just a total disappointment the ending...
Wind River (2017)
Overall not bad but not great
This will be a quick review and no spoilers.
Overall this movie has a great storyline as a mystery thriller movie with some good actors in it. For me though I feel a little let down with it as there isnt too much in the way of mystery or action really and the audio is terrible in places and can hardly hear what's been said at times, plus I feel the ending was cut short and could of easily added another 10-15 mins to the movie to wrap things up properly. I would say its a good movie and by no means bad but I just feel it needs a bit more cutting edge parts in it to keep the viewer entertained and wanting to watch more and find out more.
Escape Plan (2013)
Good watch but not the best
Just recently watched this and it has a good plot and great actors. When it starts off when he is in the prison and escapes you just think it's another prison break movie type but as it goes on you realise it's slightly different. The acting thought out was decent but I feel that friendships and the movie once they are in the new max prison is rushed though a bit and could easily could have made 2 movies out of it and explained and expanded on things a bit more as you wouldn't really tell someone you have only just met a few days later that your trying an escape and who you really are. Some bits are unbelievable as well like the usual people can shoot other people with one bullet bit when it comes to the main cast cant shoot a barn door. And when hes down first looking at the tunnels and blocks the camera it seems like he has all the time in the world and it's not till the water comes in that they actually check on him. I mean overall I'd say it was worth a watch even though I feel it could of been done slightly better!
The Loft (2014)
Overall good film
If your looking for an easy to watch film then this is the one, not to say it's boring or not great in anyway. I'm not going to give an suppliers away but I'm going to say the acting is good with a great cast involved, the script and story line are well wrote and no real plot holes in the film. It gives you teasers through out but it does leave you guessing until the end. Just a quick review but I'd say worth a watch.
Halloween (2018)
Very disappointing and just terrible from start to finish!
I mean where do I even start with this. From the start it started so unrealistic. Who in there right mind would let 2 reporters in with the mask he used to kill people with and then to how he escape I would like to know firstly who organised his transfer for that day and how he managed to get out his restraints, get though a lock cage door and make the bus crash!
After he escapes he first goes to a garage where it just so happens the reports are but your not kidding me that no one saw the mechanic plus the guy behind the counter get killed!
On to the middle part of the film not a great deal wrong with it but nothing was really anything good about it either! He goes around and kills a few people and a disco but not a great deal, but there is no info on if Julian the kid makes it out alive or not and this is the first time Michael gets shot in the shoulder.
Onto the final part after moving her family to her house and just after Michael kills her friend they go hunting him down and they see him in a police car and then run him down and he gets knocked out so that the second time he's been hurt. So then the doc kills the cop and they go to grandma's house. After he kills a few more people which includes the father and she sees him dead in the warehouse later not once does anybody ask where he is or if hes ok but hes at the front of the house why when she is looking at him at the front door with a shotgun in her hand doesn't she just open the door and fire at him but no she doesn't she waits by the door and then he manages to smash the glass with both his hands and try kill her and this is when she shoots half his fingers off. Then after a bit of cat and mouse Michael throws her out the window and finds the basement entrance manages to rip the counter off over it and then gets shot in the face and this is the 4th time he's been seriously injured but seems to carry on just fine and even after been thrown down the stairs and knifed and slashed still seems to be ok and then ends up trapped in the basement as it's set on fire! I will be really annoyed if he somehow survived and bring out another film!
So overall then this was a terrible movie that didn't really explain anything going on within the movie, unrealistic, not scary in the slightest, shouldn't of been made and just proves Hollywood was just after some money! Do Not belive the hype about this movie!
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
Very good blockbuster
There are so many disaster/ plague movies out there it's a movie type that has been too over used but this does it fantasticly. From the start to the finish I wanted to watch the film and never got bored. It explained things properly and went into detail with things without either overdoing it or not explaining things at all, it didn't seem like anything was rushed in the film. The acting is good but the graphics and detail is absolutely amazing and it all combines to bring you a great viewing experience. I would recommend this movie as a must watch.
Little Evil (2017)
Is what it is
Just came across this film while on Netflix and I have to say it wasn't that bad not a great movie by any standards but nevertheless wasn't too bad. It has a nice balance between horror and comedy without going over the top with either of them. The acting is quite good as is the plot and screenwriting. This is a film if you just fancy an easy watch.
Hostel (2005)
Passable but not great.
Well this film is alright but it isn't the best. The plot and the script is good and the acting isn't to bad but there are more bad points than good. Firstly to make the surgeon a main guy in the film there is very little back story or information about him or the obvious big scale operation he has going there. Secondly when he gets his two fingers cut off with the chain saw they don't bleed very much and there is no attempt to bandage them up or stop the bleeding and they don't seem to bother him. Thirdly when he's in the car and runs over the 3 people there's no way he'd get enough speed up to knock them over like that. Overall not a bad film but could of been so much better.
Stranger Within (2013)
Worst...film ever
I honestly cannot even be bothered to waste my time and effort with a detailed review on this film as it's just stolen an hour and a half of my life watching this abomination. The acting was horrific, the storyline just didn't make sense, no explanation of anything that went on, just the whole thing was a joke.
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)
Confusing and pointless movie
The start of the film and up to when they get to the bar it isn't a bad movie but why feel the need to add the vampires into it totally confused me. It is utterly pointless to add them into the film and strikes me as the writers/ director got bored making the film and just decided 'hey you know what's a great idea? let's add some vampires for the he'll of it'. The acting isn't that bad but there are a few mistakes when the shooting starts with the vampires and they seem to have managed to keep clean shirts on. Also if they was highly dangerous fugitives and they knew that they where heading to the border there would be a higher police presence and they would have searched the vehicle better than they did, also why if they had an rv would they really want to stop at a low budget motel i mean really, i could understand a hotel or something! I cannot for the life of me understand the high reviews on this film.
Emelie (2015)
Terrible, do not waste your time on this!
I felt the need to make an account just to write tgis review about this movie! From the start this movie looked like it had potential but oh my it just got worse as the movie went on. The plot Is bad, the script is terrible and there is very little back story/informing you about the 'baby sitter' I just found the whole thing totally unbelievable. There is no need for her to do all the things she does to the kids before hand and if your only planning on taking one kid that coukd of been done in 5 minutes after the parents left, there was plenty of times for the kids to escape and phone the police for example and for that utter moron who was her side kick in the car 1 why is there a need to follow the parents 2 why not just pull up after they have left and take the kids and 3 why did this idiot feel the need to crash into there car to give her more time and kill himself. So to sum it up it is an utter disgrace of a 'movie'
