The adventures of baron munchausen
Well, I quite liked this one just a tad more when I was a kid, and I'd have to say it's something of a great kids, or, "family" comedy/fantasy flick. Pretty funny, still an entertaining watch. 13 Ghosts - I like this one...don't find it that scary, or much at all, but I really like a lot of the visual aspects of this one. Wouldn't mind checking out more like it. Anyone noticed that the gear machine thingy in it strongly resembles Lions Gate films opening sequence? (or likewise) Life Force. I'm all for weird movies...but this one I honestly found a bit boring. The effects and makeup were very good for their time, and sure there's a set of nice tits walking around most of the film. I appreciated the alternative take on "vampires" but I found the storyline a little hard to follow in terms of how the bodyjumping/memory retention worked, and the whole story just, didn't do a whole lot for me. |

Deviates from the Origins story slightly but thats to develop the characters a bit more for the sake of the script, IMO. All other X-Men characters are cameos really...just included for the sake of being included. Gambit had next to nothing to do on-screen - no thievery antics, no accent, Deadpool was routine, Silverfox comes and goes in the space of 20-odd minutes...too many characters within the last 35-40 minutes, and very little to do. Its a story centered on Logan and Victor, thats about it. Best parts of the movie are when Victor is around. Liev Schrieber is pretty good, and his chemistry with Hugh Jackman is what makes this movie enjoyable. To be summed in a single line - its basically an extension of the dream sequences which Logan had in X2: X-Men United. I d give it 3.5 out of 5. |

Actually, I watched a bit of X3 the other night after having seen wolverine...seriously, when you compare where better the character was portrayed, the xmen films have it by far.
and yeah...deadpool wasn't even deadpool, any fan of the character will hate all but about the first 5 minutes of the character. The Sabretooth/Logan thing was alright, but things happened there that just wouldn't. |
Search for Beauty (1934)
Not a lot to say about this one really...it was solid, but nothing overly special. Worth seeing for its historical value by showing just how much skin and sex Hollywood could get away with in the pre-code era - it's ultra tame by today's standards, but holy shit this is racy for 1934 - beyond that it's fairly run of the mill. The actors range from good to mediocre, and the script has moments of being both incredibly witty and equally clunky. No major flaws, but not much to make it stand out either. |
The Eye (2002). i liked this movie, but was not really scary. Just a good story that pretty well put together about the supernatural.. Ashe.

Cold Prey
Very good slasher/stalker flick. Set in a remote mountain lodge somewhere in Norway, five snowboarders seek refuge after an accident and find they are not alone. Its a standard set up but it looks fantastic. The performances are solid and tension is well maintained. Worth watching The Ruins Wasnt expecting too much but was pleasantly surprised. Six people in Mexico visit a remote (that word again) Mayan ruin and start to explore the site. Suddenly they run into some local villagers who quarantine them in the ruins. They soon learn why! Not an average horror film, nice bit of paranoia and there are a couple of brutal set pieces which are well worth putting the DVD player on slo-mo. Its different enough to be interesting and the actors are capable enough with a well paced story. The Night of the Living Dead (1990) We've all seen it and know how good it is. |
