Triangle (2009)
A solid movie and I hope to see more from the Crew.
Why this movie has been given such a low overall mark is beyond me. The script is superior on many levels. I think that a lot of work must have gone into working out the plot lines. I have just watched the movie for the third time and am still surprised how detailed the twist and turns have been handled. I would put it on a level, if not above movies such as Saw and Se7en.However Saw and Se7en have no more surprises once you have watched them Triangle is much more in depth and even after several viewings still surprises.
It is not a horror movie more of a SciFi Thriller. I think you could liken it to Dead Calm (spoiler) except for the fact time travel is involved.
I don't often write reviews but felt that this movie needed a bit more support.
Drag Me to Hell (2009)
How do people consider this movie scary?
I am with the rest of the guys who are wondering why this move is called a "masterpiece". After all the hype I was expecting something along the lines of Evil Dead, boy was I wrong. This movie has about as much in common with the Evil Dead as Predator does to A Room With A View.
I will point out that I am a big horror movie fan but have never walked out of a movie before....ever. I had to walk out of this movie as I felt I was about to start shouting out abuse at the screen. I felt conned. The reviews were totally misleading. This should have been a straight to DVD release. As something to watch at home on a Friday night with a few beers this works fine. At the cinema NO,NO,NO. The Asian actor particularly was terrible and made the audience laugh. The girl was too sweetly sweet (no one is like this in real life) and certainly no one who should be dealing with mortgage claims!!! The film itself has too many weak points to highlight. Its not a terrible movie but don't believe the critics or some of the reviews on here, as if you do you will be sorely disappointed
The Spirit (2008)
Harsh
After having read several reviews about this movie and having just watched it, I felt I had to jump to the movies defence.
This is not a bad movie as some are making out and after watching the directors other efforts Sin City and 300. I have to say I get the movie. It is not to be taken seriously, just like the characters in the movie it is meant to be fun! All the actors performed well. Although I think Sam Jackson was in Jack Nicholson Joker mode. Obviously all of their time was acting to green screen which most actors will have a problem with as you cant soak in the environment and are at the mercy of the CGI guys. Also the flawed superhero is good to see.
The comparisons to Sin City are easy to make as visually it is very similar. Scarlett Johannson and Eva Mendez both played their parts well.
I feel the Director did this more as a bit of fun rather than a serious piece such as 300. So just take it as that a bit of fun and enjoy.
Island Fever (2001)
Hard to comment on this
This is certainly not Tera's best film... the editing is annoying i.e. your watching one of the girls masturbate cut to a picture of a tree and the next shot the girl has somehow moved 30 feet??? suggesting that no real masturbation was taking place. Which I just found down right bizarre. Also there is no love making sounds only music... which is also a bit annoying. I found myself attempting to listen to what was being said!!! Which of course you can't.. Tera is cute as a button in this which is what I suppose most people would be watching it for and her final scene it looks like she is really getting into to it, or maybe she is a better actress than many allow for? She is still my favourite porn star although she is now getting on a bit, but then again aren't we all? If your a Tera fan this is obviously a must, if not its not one of her best. I suggest this for couples rather than hormonal young men.
Pathology (2008)
What was the point of this movie exactly?
After watching this movie... I have only one thing to say... what was the point? what point was trying to be made here? It just left me feeling a little nauseous and confused... Oh I have to write at least 10 lines of text. Thing is I can't really think of ten lines to say about this movie. Well it had one of the guys out of heroes in it and the sexy girl out of charmed, was expecting to see her naked as she does in most of her movies, you did see a plastic dummy of her naked but it looked pretty fake. Cant say I identified with any of the characters as they were all a bit mad or despicable. As for the shock ending, was interesting but nothing shocking as the antagonists had it coming really... I say again what was the point of this movie?
The Signalman (1976)
Chilling
I remember watching this movie as a kid and then again late at night a few years ago. I had to be honest totally forgotten about it until I was recently researching ghost stories. Well to say that I had totally forgotten about it is wrong, when watching movies such as The others this movie always sprung to mind. This short is full of atmosphere and suspense it is a ghost chiller in the purest sense and we are never really sure if the entire thing is in the signalman's mind or not. This pure fact alone makes it superior to most modern Hollywood attempts, were you work out in the first five minutes what is going on and how it will all work out. I would recommend this short to all fans of chillers as the ending even when watched in the day is still shocking. If you are a sensitive type though I would keep clear.
ReBoot (1994)
Pure class
Reeboot was the first computer animated TV show I saw. I was blown away by the 3D images not only this but also by the story lines. They were quite mature dealing with issues of death (Bob) and sexuality such as Enzos and Andreas relationship. Also there were some quite sexy female characters in the programme. I also loved the parody episodes they wrote the Evil dead one was pure class, as was the one with road runner and not forgetting the Prisoner episode. When this show came on to British television I was 20 years old this shows the maturity of some of the episodes. Although I am still not sure how they got away with some of the more scary characters such as Hexidecimal ( I think this was her name it was was the lead bad guys sister) she was terrifying and psychotic. I am still not sure what exactly what happened to Bob though did they ever find him and find there way home??? I think this will become a cult classic and hopefully there will be a reboot movie in the near future.
Forbidden Tales (2001)
Phwooooooooaaaaaarrrrrr.........Tera Patrick.
Ignore what anyone else says Tera Patrick is hot hot hot the scenes in this movie are certainly not her best but she is just screwing ya know and enjoying it. The wrap around movie is really stupid, I mean who the hell thought it up were they on drugs or something? Whats with the green cgi dude dying on a bed? like as if we care anyways just fast forward to watch what Tera does best, gets guys to come
There are three scenes in this movie with Tera one in a prison cell one where she is in stocks and one just outside in a village square by a well in fact, there are two more scenes with other girls but there ugly so I'm not mentioning them. the scenes with Tera are all set in the middle ages in Britain. why? don't ask me, I guess someone gave em access to a middle age set which wasn't being used. In each scene with Tera she does her thing with one young lucky fella (a different fella in each scene)in the scenes in this movie however it must be noted how long it takes for her clothes to actually come off. This does add to the sexual tension because there is lots of kissing and rubbing and cuddling before the actual action begins. all in all Teras scenes are great forget the rest of the movie though, this is much better than island fever 3. not as good as some of her earlier stuff though where she was really enjoying herself and not acting so hard.
