Hostel: Part III (2011)
Hostel 3 out of ten
I can only assume the three in the title is the expected star rating rather than third part of a trilogy. Whilst I wasn't expecting brilliant due to its straight to DVD status I was pleasantly surprised from the start to see that it wasn't b grade. However this is where the pleasantness ended. The acting was OK, the cinematography was good but I am still unsure how this movie anyway relates back to the first two apart from the elite hunting group. Only a small portion was set in a hostel and the whole concept was taken to a completely different level. The gore was below average and let's face it the gore factor is the only thing that people really watched the second hostel movie for and will be why people will want to watch the third. The plot is pretty terrible and very predictable, I don't want to give anything away and I'm not trying to turn people off the movie as everyone's opinion is different and some people may enjoy it. As for me I was somewhat disappointed altho having not had high expectations to begin with I guess I wasn't that disappointed. All up I give it a 3 out of 10. This will be the last installment unless someone comes up with a much stronger plot and storyline or a b grade ultra low budget 4th film is attempted. Poor John Hensley I loved him in nip tuck and he tried to play his part in this but even top notch actors can't save a shocking movie, look at Bruce Willis in setup!
Funny Money (2006)
Un-funny Money
Well I can honestly say that this is one of the first Chevy Chase movies I haven't actually laughed at...... at least not in a good sense!! With it's predictable plot, un-funny slapstick type humour and lack of depth, this movie drones along to leave the viewer watching the clock on the DVD player anxiously awaiting 1 hour and 29 minutes to be up! Chevy Chase and the rest of the cast tried very hard, I've been a big fan of Chevy Chase all my life, and must say that I feel sorry for him being subjected to acting in this movie, guess times are desperate for him.
Anyway, Die hard Chevy Chase fans will wanna check this one out regardless but don't get ur hopes up for anything special, I was hoping for a kinda " Rat Race" feel to the movie, instead I smelt a dirty rat.
