King Kong (1976)
some good bits some bad bits
Right where do we start if you watch this movie expecting great effects and acting you are probably going too be disappointed some of the effects are terrible Kong is clearly a man in a suit and on most close ups of his face it appears that he has some sort of mental illness his facial expressions are really quite disturbing the trees as Kong pushes them are like rubber and bounce around ridiculously and at the end where the helicopters attack Kong on the trade centre the effects of the helicopters behind Kong are awful also some of the acting is awful Jeff bridges was fine but Jessica Lange is dreadful i found myself wanting her too get killed you simply cannot like her character she seems completely self centered and always seems too be tripping on LSD and permanently messed up also Charles grodin verges on becoming Dr evil and is a terrible substitute for Carl denham also they have decided too completely change the story of the movie in this movie they go to the island looking for oil all the names are different and Kong climbs the world trade centre instead of the empire state building on the other hand some parts are good the effects of Kong's hands when he picks up Jessica Lange are good the way they catch Kong are good and the part where its only Kong and Jessica Lange alone are excellent with you genuinely liking the character of Kong as i said before Jeff bridges acting is fine and the part where Kong attacks the train in new york is pretty good compared to some of the effects also despite people complaining i thought the snake was pretty realistic for its time obviously they didn't attempt the t Rex's they would probably of been terrible my rating is that its worth a look but definitely the worst of the three original Kong movies and don't expect too much and also i now hate Jessica Lange
InHumanoids: The Movie (1986)
excellent
This is easily one of the best cartoon movies out there the animation isn't great but the story rocks just bought a copy the other day unfortunately this copy had all the episodes as well they were really bad including the leader of the inhumanoids metlar bringing the statue of liberty to life and falling in love only to find out that she is a moaning old hag the movie itself is about a team of scientists called earthcore who must stop three monsters the inhumanoids from taking over the world after they are released from capture by an evil businessman blackthorn the three inhumanoids are tendril a creature with two tentacles for arms which grow into more tendril creatures if shot off decompose is a undead monster who turns anyone he touches into undead ghouls and the leader metlar who is a lava monster earthcore must stop the inhumanoids with the help of blackthorns sister and also the creatures who imprisoned the inhumanoids in the first place the granites who are rock people the redwoods who are tree people and magneton who is a magnetic creature who can split in half positive and negative i would highly recommend this to fans of series like transformers and mask and jayce and the wheeled warriors
The Godfather (1972)
most overrated trilogy of all time
I do not understand the big fuss about the Godfather trilogy OK yes the acting is top quality with brilliant performances from marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall and even talia Shire is good but the film just drags the whole story is boring and the films just seem to go over the same things over and over again.
I must admit that i am probably not the best person to review the godfather seeing as i don't really like gangster movies i didn't like Goodfellas either although i did like like the untouchables I believe people saying they love the godfather movies is simply because they have heard other people saying how good it is and think that in order to be considered a proper movie lover they have to like the godfathers.
Boa vs. Python (2004)
Two giant snakes head to head
As a lover of creature movies i had high hopes for this movie. it wasn't too bad but could of done with seeing more of the snakes Check out Python its much better and great fun. The acting as with all creature movies isn't top notch but the movie is played pretty much with its tongue in its cheek so It doesn't make to much difference when the snakes finally do clash later in the movie It really picks up but does not last nearly long enough. The effects are all CGI and are not too bad there are some scenes where the actors find it difficult to pretend there is actually a snake there And sometimes the snakes look a little fake but overall its worth checking out if like me you are a big fan of creature movies otherwise you probably wont like it
