Ghostbusters (2016)
Never should have been made
This seems more like a spiteful Hollywood political stunt that should have never seen the light of day. No one could have saved this disaster. It was so bad I felt violated and my intelligence insulted. 6.9 rating?!? Something stinks..
EuroTrip (2004)
Very entertaining
This was quite an enjoyable film. A really original comedy, and easy to enjoy. It is the typical teens coming of age but done really well. It's no Citizen Kane but a simplistic comedy that works. If you aren't uptight and easily offended despite reality, you will really like this bit of craic. Surely worth a few hours of your time.
A Heartland Christmas (2010)
Something Hollywood would never produce now
A lovely film about a normal family. Something that has become unfortunately rare these days. There is no propaganda and nor diversity quotas. Just an enjoyable film.
Arthur & Merlin (2015)
The female lead with a flawless spray tan in the 5th century
The first thing they teach you in film school is to maintain 'the suspension of disbelief'. In other words, make it believable with consistency and you will aid the audience to suspend their disbelief.
But when you see the female lead with a perfect spray tan, warriors without helmets, and a dangerous enchanted forest the size of someone's back garden, you can't fool or entertain anyone. Also the neck break of an informer is laughably bad. He literally spins around on his heal and falls down. Just hilarious.
I will admit I watched most of it but it's production quality let's them down unfortunately. It was a case of watching only to see what ridiculousness would happen next.
Malevolent (2018)
Had potential but annoying bad in the second half
This film had all the ingredients for success. But the complete lack of urgency of the characters will have you giving out to your telly. Sure, I mean some real stupidity at the end there. The case of the character having an in-depth, heartfelt conversion with another victim instead of finishing off the bad one. Knowing full well the bad one was right be hide him. You can guess what happens next. The female lead having moments of reflection as she knows her brother is in a bad spot and the bad lot are looking for her. Boggles the mind so it does. Did they bother to screen test this??
The purpose of a film is the suspension of disbelief. In other words believable enough to keep you entertained. This fails miserably in the second half. Avoid the frustration. Watch something else.
