And so my Film list continues...
Brothers Grimm
I have to say I was slightly disappointed with this. Looking back now (and it was a while ago I watched this) I can't help but wish that Tim Burton had made this film instead. It was... ok... dark in parts and I found it novel incorporating fairy tales into the one story but I also found it rather slow paced and the effects could have been better. Unless you feel a real need to watch this I'm sure there are much better 'dark fantasy' films than this. Brothers Grimm: ok, watchable but certainly not unmissable.
6/10
King Kong (Jackson Remake)
Wow. What can I say...as a kid I loved the original, as an adult I love the remake just as much. I didn't find this film long winded and dull nor did I think certain scenes could have been shortened to improve the movie. I simply loved it. Effects were amazing, acting was great - I really can't think of a bad thing to say about this.
10/10
The Off Season
Hmmmm. Now this film in my huge stack of 'recently watched' I find hard to remember fully. This means one thing - unmemorable, easily forgettable...move on to the next film please!
I banged the disc back in to check the trailer as a recap...this low budget movie is not one of the better ghost stories I have watched, effects were less than average, plot wasn't great and the acting was less than average being polite.
Off Season - not the worst I've seen - 5/10
The Woodsman
Why did I buy this movie? Why Did I not turn the movie off sooner? Why have I not listed it on ebay? Why review it?...basically to try and help you avoid the mistake I made when thinking...hmmm that sounds an interesting role for Mr Bacon - I'll check that out. Big Mistake! Possibly one of the most boring, pointless movies I have seen in years. Kevin Bacon plays the role of a paedophile who is being released back into society - this film I assume was meant to at least give the viewer an option of feeling sympathy towards the main character? Well if it was, it failed miserably. Not only did I not feel sympathy I got more enraged about the issues than before the film started! This film was a total waste of my time, please don't allow it to be a waste of yours.
Woodsman 2/10 (I give it higher than 1 because it came in a nice gatefold edition sleeve).
