"Firstborn" (1984) 8/10
What a good movie this was. And such good acting.
Corey Haims first appearance on screen and he was terreffic already then.
And on a side note. Probably the smallest role I've ever seen for Robert Downey Jr. But even then he had the ability to add some kind of eccentricity to his characters. Even to a part this small and insignificant.
"2010: Moby Dick" 6/10
Great title isn't it? Just.... great. Especially considering it was more a huge shark than a whale. But oh well.
The title also screams low budget. And it sure was. Bad CGI all the way through including the "monster". But i still give them credit for showing the monster right from the start instead of hiding it till the last minute, as the case was with the sleeping pill "The cavern". Made it much more entertaining to watch even tho it wasn't well made. :)
And speaking of wasn't-well-made. I have to mention the introduction of the heroine in the small motorboat. How can you fuck up a scene that much. Fírst of all, we see her take off her headphones 3 times within 10 seconds and after that, during the conversation with her co-worker, we repeatedly see her with the headphones around and off her neck. Who should be shot here, the editor or the director? Imbarrassing error.
