Robot Holocaust (1987)
Its the worst quest ever made..but its now in HD!
The thing I love about cinema is the re-reales we are no getting in HD on the streaming platforms. This maybe was released on VHS dunno. But it great to see this piece of garbage in high quality. Its a scifi quest with boobies. Plot? Meh, acting meh, pacing? Non existant. But chuck it on in the background while you are on your phone and every now and then you'll come across some gold. IT may be the acting or the costume but its there man. My favourite is the sock puppet cave slugs. Think KRULL minus everything. Although to be fair the sidekicks quest fodder cast was pretty cool. They have a Fabio, two village idiots and a robot as awesome and witty a c3pwtevr.
Day Shift (2022)
Love Jamie fox.
I love a good vampire movie but this was lacking a decent....um...story. The lead villian was a non event, the story was set during the day....oh and the hillbilly boss hired him back after not wanting him to work there only to get Francos younger bro to spy on him. Wtf? Just don't hire him. Yeah twisty vampires were cool.
The Mummy (2017)
I liked it
A good fun a tion horror ride. Tom cruise is good as normal. Funny banter, russel crowe. I would have liked to see this spooky franchise kick off. Oh well.
Choose or Die (2022)
Clearly filmed in the UK
I would have liked this more if it was just set in a dingy hole in London. Its meant to be usa but clearly the UK. Even the actors look like Londoners. Not enough kills the mum up and vanished no body or blood. The glass bit was a good start then....meh..feels like a missed opportunity.
Go Ask Alice (1973)
Im here for shatner.
Man have the times changed, this feels like a public service announcement 70s style. I was here mainly to see captain kirk run a family and its a damm shame he didn't have spock to pull a neck pinch in his drug addled doper kid. On a plus side shatners wigs are looking good and his stride was strong. Needed more shatner looking for his kid.
Inherent Vice (2014)
Worth several rewaches
Its got all of the private eye tricks and set ups of a 1940s noir with a hippy twist. Its long and slow though like a story from the 40s. Great great film.
SST: Death Flight (1977)
Absolute garbage....I want the bluray
So tacky,so lame ,so 70s. I dig it.this time. The detergent is corrosive...d..d..dooooo.
Its got Q from star trek, Billy crystal, mission impossible guy and Rocky's trainer. And the Brady bunch dad.
Orca (1977)
I love this film. At its heart it a sad story of revenge
Well acted, well directed hokey in parts but hard to film a live bloody whale right? Love this story and you feel for this poor creature and Richard Harris is fantastic as the tortured man who knows he has a horrible debt to pay. Loved it.sure its cheesy in parts but still its original.
Senior Moment (2021)
Fun if you're a trekky
Love william shatner and Christopher lord. So its great seeing this little film about senior citizens going about their lives. Shatners funny. Its a fun film nothing too serious. Chillout.
Film.
Clean (2021)
Gritty 70s esk
Not like John wick or nobody. More like an old school action movie from the 70s /80s. Brody is good as ever. Love the soundtrack, felt like rocky in the prepping me weapons for the big finale montage. The villian is the best part of the whole show. This actor was terrifying in True Detective and he's great here. His poor wife doesn't even get one line. Better than the score.jts got.
Frenzy (1972)
Not a fan.
I thought the whole story was given away showing us the murderer in the first half. I thought the acting was terrible. The only saving grace was the pub landlord. Just slow and filled with relationship wife jokes. Oh well cant win then all.
Waiting for the Barbarians (2019)
Fantastic period piece.
Well crafted and paced period piece. A mature film for an audience who has patience. Fantastic performances all round. The lead has a fantastic British way about him. Depp is a good villian as is
Patterson.
High Spirits (1988)
I love this movie
Its a light hearted 80s spooky comedy. Love peter otoole and I first saw it on vhs now its streaming in HD. Its an entertaining movie with a few good chuckles.
MacGruber (2021)
I laughed hard
Great to see a silly a spoof again. I didn't like the 2010 film but this is well written silly spoof with loads of gags. Kirten wig is gold in this. Love her work.
Cry Macho (2021)
Time to ride
He's almost dead. Its a shame he made this hes so frail now its affecting his acting. I dont buy that these women want him either as he's a corpse in a hat. I love clint eastwood but his swan song was the last one. The kid is not very strong and the boss has had better performances. Im ashamed to say I don't like his last movie. Surely its his last..
What Is Life Worth (2020)
Well written drama for a mature audience.
Really well written drama from a variety of perspectives. Im surprised its a 6.8. I guess the dullards prefer spandex clad sexy heroes. Michael Keaton is great as always. Glad he's back and killing it. Great supporting cast. A really well written drama.
The Hitcher (1986)
Awesome thrillers
I heard about this film and finally got around to watch it. So impressed by this movie its awesome. Hasn't dated too much. Great performance by lead Everyone envolved.
Aladdin (2019)
Great vfx. Actors not as good as the original cast
I think the vfx were fantastic but I miss Nathan lane, bobcat and Jeremy irons. The guy doing the bird im not a fan of at all so I'll leave that alone. The whole thing lacked the punch and pace and passion of the 90s original. Oh well.
Bowfinger (1999)
Laughed my arse off
Man this flick is hilarious. Steve martin writing cracks me up. Mind head and aliens. Eddie murphy in duel roles. Hilarious. Frank oz directing. Man gold.
Copshop (2021)
Fun. Love a good cop action with cool dialogue.
Kind of like assault on prec 13 but modern. My only gripe is the actress she seems way to young for the role. An older lady would be better. Gerald butler is doing his thing...he's dull but the cop back and forth is what I enjoyed.
Downsizing (2017)
A sci fi drama.
I like the idea. Great director. I was surprised it got panned. I thought it was a unique take on the shrinking movies that have been made before. Not a comedy for belly laughs.
Exorcist II: The Heretic (1977)
That children's mental asylum set
Seriously if I ever win the lottery im building my house like that kids mental asylum.
The Gauntlet (1977)
Cop on the run with the witness.
Big eastwood guy here. He's in his prime , so is his hot wife and co star. The cops are corrupt and he's got a job to do. The snappy insults are great. Popcorn action fun.
The Ritual (2017)
I dug it. A well made uk creature fest.
Lads on a hike after a mate dies. Monsters in the dark. Its good man.
To Live and Die in L.A. (1985)
Not very good at all
I came here for the director and boy was I wrong. Not his best work. The plot and dialogue and lead actors are lacking . William Dafoe is cool as always but I'm bored. I just didn't buy the cop taking the crook to see his kid and uncuffing him.
