Replace (2017)
Camp horror of the best kind.
Loved the camp of this movie. Reminded me of Reanimator or some Lynchian nightmare like Mulholland Drive or Blue Velvet. I'm not saying it was that level of cinema, but it definitely had that vibe. A dream-like, verging on nightmareish quality works in some spots, but is too muddy at other times. I enjoyed the budget make-up and FX which actually caused me to wince at times from its realism. Overall, I found this a perfectly respectable budget slasher/thriller. Grab some popcorn, relax, and try not to be too critical; we need films like this from time-to-time to unwind and unplug. I'm personally glad that I stumbled across this on Frevee. Reminds me that 4 - 5 star movies on IMDB can still be a pleasant surprise.
The Island (2005)
Deserves better. Ripped off on box office marketing.
I saw a trailer for this in the theater, months in advance of release, and then never heard a thing until it's quiet release. Ok, ok, I'm a little subjective in my rating. This flm deserved WAY better marketing. Great story (derivative of Logan's Run) great special effects, (Michael Bay-ish), fantastic cast. Shot in Detroit, and the sets/locations are killer. (Shouldn't have passed it off as L.A. though.) Stands the test of time. Just watched it again 15 years after I saw it in the theater, and only winced a few times.
Aquaman (2018)
I want my $1 back from Redbox
I liked Green Lantern better. Well, not really, but I can't think of a suckier movie than this. My 9 year old was laughing and critical in alternating waves. I'd almost rather watch WWE. Well, not really, but I can't think of anything cheesier.
