Talks about a reboot seem rather silly given this was released a couple of years.
They have a perfectly fine Power Rangers movie under their belt.
I'd say a sequel would make more sense especially with some of the actors earning more popularity with recent projects.
7.5/10

 

[Hunter Rider]

I never saw this at the cinema and I bought the BR and never watched it, when we got it out tonight it still had the wrapper on it. I know at the time a number of fans were disappointed but watching it directly after the first 3 I think it's aged well, sure, it's very much the same formula but the story is good espionage stuff and adds a bit more to Bourne's mythos, plus it has the two best chase sequences in the series.

8/10

Gemini Man





You're me......but you're you.....but mainly me !!


PRAISE:I was looking forward to Ang Lee's latest film and starring Will Smith,and a cool plot hey god times right?
Smith still has enough charisma to make even the weakest film watchable.In this story of a government assassin on the verge of retirement but some people feels he knows to much and decide to take him out using his younger clone.
Ok the High Frame Rate in 3D looked incredible in some scenes.There are action sequences that were fun and flawless.The story had it's moments.
Im glad Mary Elizabeth Winstead was given a lot to do.Benedict Wong had some good moments.



PROBLEMS: I cant believe how predictable this movie was.I knew what would happen 20 minutes to an hour before it came to fruition on the screen.
The de aging SFX looked incredible in the night time shots....but the daytime shots....Junior (also Smith),.....looked like he was either on the verge of sneezing or having a seizure !!
I think Director Lee got so caught up with the new technology he and the writers didnt think about forming a more compelling and deeper script.
I actually thought this film would have a better villain and the film as a whole wouldnt be so uneven.I actually laughed at the epilogue.

When this hits the DVD stands enjoy it for it's amazing 4K quality

Scale of 1-10 a 6½



Jexi





Remember the movie HER with Joaquin Phoenix ? well go watch it again


PRAISE:This smart phone taking over your life comedy(?) was funny for about 20 minutes.
The actors are game and there's some charm here and there especially between Adam DeVine as Phil and Alexandra Shipp as Cate they at least try to make something happen.Rose Byrne had some fun as the voice of Jexi as she spits out insults here and there.


PROBLEMS: It seems like most of the actors were told to ad lib or try to come up with something funny for 15 minutes a piece but most of it was painfully unfunny and i was looking at the floor praying the scenes would end quickly.
This would have been better as a brief Saturday Night Live sketch

Sleepy Hollow

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

The movie might be considered bad but the models and (some) sfx were well made ( for the time/budget).

 

[MilkmanDan]

You Were Never Really Here

Destroyer

 

[C. Lee]

The movie might be considered bad but the models and (some) sfx were well made ( for the time/budget).

It's a fun movie. A cool bit of trivia about it....not only is it a space version of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN (which was a western version of THE SEVEN SAMURAI)....but actor Robert Vaughn who co starred in M7, plays essentially the same role in BATTLE.

 

[C. Lee]

I wouldn't recommend this film to anyone but John Wayne collectors....which I am. The basic plot idea is....bad guys make a gold mine appear to be haunted to keep the rightful owners away. The problem arises with this....the African American character who works with Wayne is written as the worst bad racial stereotype I've seen in a long time.

3 From Hell

It's yet another Rob Zombie flick about scary white people. This time it's the sequel to the Devils Rejects and while I haven't seen it in years, they do a so-so job catching you up on what happened last time. Sid Haig gets a cameo role which was a shame, he scene was one of the few good parts about the movie. They introduce Richard Brake to replace him and he doesn't do enough in here to make him stand out. The first half of the movie plays like a pretty goofy version of Mindhunter and Sheri Moon pretty much plays a rated R version of Harley Quinn. While the second half is like a exploitation spaghetti western. Overall, I didn't hate it, but it's nowhere near as memorable as Devil's Rejects.

Ma - 6/10

Review:

Carried by the nuanced craziness of Octavia Spencer as Sue Ann Ellington, Ma is a cautionary tale about childhood trauma, bullying, and racism, though meddling in execution and unable to tap its full potential.

Sue Ann is a middle-aged black woman who parties with high school kids. The story gradually bares her motives as a bullied teenager humiliated by her peers. Unable to experience social happiness during her younger years, the high school kids she befriends are her outlet for that repressed childhood memory. Ultimately, Sue Ann seeks revenge against her peers through their children, the high school kids she parties with, when her past was uncovered. Sue Ann's revenge is most especially directed to Ben Hawkins, played by Luke Evans, her high school crush. Ma juggles themes of bullying and racism together in a satisfying revenge thriller.

The same positive review can't be said to the high school kids and Sue Ann's peers who are bland and weak characters. Ma's untapped potential is due to failure in giving proper characterization to the supporting characters. Octavia Spencer carries the film single-handedly.

Aside from the film's writing, the direction is quite average except for some creepy scenes such as Sue Ann torturing the high school kids and forcing her daughter to take unnecessary medications.

Overall, Ma is good but not contemplative enough to fully appreciate its subject matter.

Dog Soldiers

My favourite werewolf movie!

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

My kids and I met Caroline Munro at London Comic Con about four years ago. I caught her just as she was packing up. She signed a couple of things for me, then spent about twenty minutes talking to us. I had my picture taken with her. Then she went and found someone to take a picture of all of us (her idea!). Really lovely - and still very attractive - lady.
