3.5/5

One of the few remakes I actually like. Improved on the original in a number of ways but I still think Chloe is way too cute for the role. They needed someone a bit more homely.

All I could think watching Carrie was "Jean Grey: The Teen Years" lol

Yeah, she was using her hands a lot, unlike Carrie in the original film.

Dark Phoenix powers rising!!

Man, Sissy Spacek was creepy as **** with that wide eyed stare of hers. I love love LOVE Chloe but I do tend to agree a bit that she wasn't exactly right for the role. Her acting was great but she was just a little too attractive. She did an awesome job though, no doubt about that

Yeah, Sissy was definitely creepy with her eyes while Chloe had more of a "oh ****, she's pissed!!" look.

Big Trouble in Little China

Really fun adventure, but a bit too cheesy for my taste. Also, while watching I couldn't help but think that Kurt Russel was somehow out of place. His character did mention how he felt like an 'outsider' so I don't know - perhaps that was Carpenter's intention. If so, then that is pretty hilarious.

 

[Maximus One]

I'm still mad we've never gotten Big Trouble In Little China 2. That movie like, defined my childhood. Watched it hundreds of times over and over and over

The Great Outdoors

I haven't seen this movie in years but I still love it. John Candy and Dan Akyrod should have done more together.

 

[Two-Face]

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) 8/10

One of the best Bond films. Shame Connery wasn't in this one, later in Diamonds Forever wasn't the best for him.

Pompeii


The film Pompeii wants to be Gladiator,Spartacus,and even Titanic but it doesn't even measure up to the 1984
T.V mini series The Last Days of Pompeii. Some of the actors do their best with the lukewarm script actor
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Atticus is the standout.Some of the arena battles are great,and SFX are wonderous at times.
The delivery of some of the lines and how some scenes play out are awful,so bad and campy it made me laugh several times.
The lovely Emily Browning and super gladiator Kit Harrington are the volcano crossed hand holders,and Kiefer Sutherland does his
psycho best if he had worn a mustache in the flick he definitely would have twirled it,he attempts to come up with some type of english accent but drops it here and there.
Characters are introduced and when they vanish the other characters care about their whereabouts for about 2 seconds,
which made me think they were just added so the audience could watch them die in some spectacular way.
When certain characters perish i didnt really care because they were very underdeveloped.
Wait for Cable/DVD you will likely find yourself fast forwarding to when Vesuvius blows it's top.
Scale of 1-10 a 5



3 Days to Kill


Definitely not the unwatchable mess some have made it out to be but 3 Days to Kill,is definitely a jumbled grab bag.
Part family film,spy thriller,and comedy this mix actually works at times.Directed by McG who loves the spy trying to
lead a normal life theme 3DTK stars Kevin Costner as a CIA OP named Ethan Renner,who due to some health issues
decides to hang his guns up and try to bond with his estranged wife, Christine (Connie Nielsen), and daughter, Zoey (Hailee Steinfeld).
Not to long after this decision he's pulled back in when an experimental maybe cure is dangled in front of him,and a bump up in his pension
is offered by his sexy contact Vivi portrayed by Amber Heard who gets to model various outfits that range from business casual to
semi-gothic dominatrix.
I did laugh a few times at the situations Renner finds himself in and Costner is at his dry,casual and cool best.The action sequences are fun,and its a great looking film.
Then right in the middle of the film things become repetitive,some bad editing throws off the flow of some scenes,and some of the situations are extremely forced.Then there is a cool plot twist that brought me back even though where the climax ends up felt a bit contrived.

If your a big time Costner fan go see it,but if the aforementioned mix is not your cup of tea wait for the DVD.

Scale of 1-10 a 7½

Melancholia

I've meant to watch this film about a thousand times and something else always takes precedence over it. Is it actually good though?
