Alien Predator (2018)
Bored to death
This is probably the worst film I've ever sat through and I'm 71 years old. Why? I'll tell you! Pathetic story with no depth. B movie acting with the most clichéd dialogue I've heard. Slow directing, could have got up, made a 3 course meal, eaten and returned after 50 minutes and not missed any significant story developements. Poor characterisation and the limpest finale of any movie in history. Avoid at all costs. Time better spent clipping your toenails!
Comes a Bright Day (2012)
Good solid British Fare
The imbalance caused by the reviewer from New york is a shame. He talks about IQ over 70, but he obviously didn't understand this movie. It is robust and well acted and there certainly is chemistry between the leads. Don't be put off by this American misery. Well worth your time! By the way I have an IQ of 149 and couldn't fault it.The pace is consistent, the locations are excellent, and any appearance by Timothy Spall is a bonus. I feel the Brits do this sort of caper far better than Hollywood, especially considering the low budget, you don't need bucket loads of cash thrown at a project to make sure it's good, or a "star name". Let's appreciate it for what it is and leave the criticism for those megabucks movies from USA that leave you cold, and waste your time!
Sofia (2012)
Yawn time!
I had high expectations for this movie because of the cast. However both Slater and Sutherland seem to be going in slow motion. Christian Slater's facial expressions, especially scenes with Timothy Spall, who is far too good for this-were of the school play ilk. All seems very amateurish and the acting from these great stars was extremely disappointing. Obviously the director who was also the author and female lead was very inexperienced and so the acting was very wooden. Bad direction, but good camera-work. The story and location were good but don't fulfill the potential. Such a shame that my wife and I wasted an evening on this. Not much more I can say just to fill my ten lines - Boring, Yawwwwwn!
