Shadow: Dead Riot (2006)
Action Kings The Horror
This movie's trailer stood out. The movie delievered. This is not a typical zombie flick. The action scenes deliver way before the 1st undead lurches onto the screen. The lead Solitaire has a quiet intensity that carries the mood. She delivers just before the edge of cliche. It is a crime why she had not accelerated to that of a higher budget star. Hollywood still has a way to go. Worth a Friday night and popcorn.
The Messenger (1986)
Very High
People may think I am high with this rating but I rate on how true a film is to it's intended audience and drama. First the score and effects. Maybe cheesy 80's trash but I say indicative of a movie trying to be hip but true to blaxploitation roots in a coming hiphop age.
The action too was formulaic but looking deeper it was some of Williamson's best. A Spaghetti western in blaxploitation package.
Brightburn (2019)
Super(man)
What if Superman was not here to fight for truth and justice? What he was lonely yet vengeful. This movie takes us on such a ride. Just when you are ready to dismiss as a modern day Goonies with a campy youthful plot it delves deeper and far more sinister. The ending shows that not everything works out in end. Looking forward to part II?
A Madea Family Funeral (2019)
Cheap Ride
This film was more sitting around and cracking on eachother than plot. Good for a few laughs but poor acting made it boring soon after. Most of his films and plays had a certain authenticity to characters no matter how outrageous. This one did not bother to live up to this (except for Aunt at funeral). Cheap frills and laughs.
Without Warning (1994)
Truly Without Warning
Some Television movies leave you feeling like you ate a TV diner if you devote a whole hour and a half to it. However this one will make you craving for another hour and half after the credits. It could have let us off the hook with a nice resolution but no. Just when you think this will be a TV movie softball it gets some teeth, no fangs and delivers. Put in the MUST REMAKE file! Never mind some of the actors betray the slice of life shockumentary format. The overall density and rapid moving plot move you past that. Many of the seasoned actors actually let the plot take you on the ride. I wish this would have had more impact as an actually genre rush like Paranormal Activity and the found video chain. This movie is that good. It is worthy of Orsonwells, Bradbury, and Serling.
