Leprechaun Returns

Decent if you like the original

(Edit) 17/11/2019

this is better than i expected. a good mix of comedy, violence and gore. doesn't take its self to serious, effects are good too.

this film is pretty much a direct sequel to the original from what ive read. so dismisses the other sequels. if your a fan of these movies then im sure youl like this as its better than the other sequels.

Child's Play

Decent remake

(Edit) 23/10/2019

im a big fan of the original childs play films.

this is a proper remake so you need to try and watch it as a different stand alone film.

i like that fact they didnt copy anything from the original. this is deffinatly an up to date version which should keep the new generation of watches interested. I liked the new take on it.

the new look of chucky took a bit of time getting used to but again was good they didnt use the exact same doll.

im sure any horror fan will like this as long as you dont compare or expect the original.

I Feel Pretty

it is what it is

(Edit) 30/09/2019

this is your normal rom com,

theres no point over thinking why it was made ,morals or deep meanings.

sure it has some odd bits, but if your looking for an easy to watch funny rom com then im sure youl like this.

id say its simular to big, shallow hal, 50 first dates and those type of films.

Mid90s

filmed really well youd think it was made in the 90s

(Edit) 18/09/2019

this is a gritty kind of film that resembles how things were in the 90s. its more so for people who grow up in America as skaters but i could still connect to parts of it growing up in the 90s.

while watching it i had to check when it came out as it looks like any other film from the 90s, the quality and framing makes you think its 20 years old.

films its simular to would be, kids, boys in the hood

Dragged Across Concrete

dark violent film, really well made

(Edit) 11/09/2019

I cant really think of many films its simular to but maybe Heat without the big gun battle.

this film has action spread throughout. its very violent and pretty gory in parts.

its the sort of film you never really know whats going to happen next or whos going to die so it keeps you on your toes watching.

Domino

whats with the weird backing music!

(Edit) 17/08/2019

im only half way though the film and the backing music is sooooo annoying! ive started flicking though now to see the end. script is bad and boring, the cast is good but the acting is bad.

i cant think of any films to compare it too, the backing music reminds me of old black and white murder mystery films.

sorry this review isnt very helpful but i was looking forward to it and very disappointed so had to write something.

Avengement

Great cast and story

(Edit) 31/07/2019

this is a gangsta, prison type film but set in multiple locations out of prison so keeps it interesting.

great cast and acting. the story is different to the usual which is fresh.

lots of really brutal action and fighting which is pretty non stop so you wont get bored.

if you like films simular to lock stock, green street, snatch, death wish, death sentence then im sure youl enjoy this.

Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich

I really wanted to like it but was let down

(Edit) 14/07/2019

Im a massive fan of the puppet master films, or most of them anyway.

This film had so much potential but its just really odd, as if they rushed the script or kept doing rewrites.

Also they have re booted it by changing the back story and made it worse.

The puppets dont have any personality anymore. Its just constant killing.

The death scenes are crazy gory! Loads of blood and guts if you like that sort of thing which im not really a fan of.

If your a fan of puppet master then im sure youl be curious to see it, but dont expect it to be like the original puppet master.

if you like really gory films then give it a watch,

Happy Death Day 2U

Great sequel

(Edit) 30/06/2019

If your a fan of films like groundhog day and back to the future then im sure you will enjoy this.

I love both the first happy death day and this sequel.

If you haven't seen the first film the definitely watch that before this one as they tie together.

This sequel keeps the same idea but adds more to it to stop it been a copy of the first.

Hitman: Redemption

Not part of the hit man series

(Edit) 18/06/2019

Because of the title i thought it was going to be similar to hitman.

I was very wrong. This is more a drama about a hitman. There was only a small amount of action in the part i saw if you could even call it that.

I turned off before the final act as was to bored.

Maybe if I'd been prepared for a drama id of been more excepting

The quality and acting was good which is why i gave a medium score.

Anna and the Apocalypse

Its a musical!

(Edit) 01/05/2019

It should really say in the write up that its a musical. I was pretty confused when they break out into song lol

Its well made, well acted. Good casting and effects.

But i really cant stand musicals which is not the films fault so cant really complain to much.

If you want a light harted zombie musical with gore then im sure youl enjoy this as its all done very well.

If your not a musical fan but a die hard zombie fan then probably dont watch.

Free Solo

Amazing film documentary

(Edit) 15/04/2019

Im not into rock climbing or any sports and still found this a great watch.

Its made really well. Very clever, similar to a film with Lots of really tense parts. Sitting on edge of seat moments.

Interesting to see how a relationship works with this type of living on the edge job/sport.

You watch it in dispalef that someone can or would do this.

Ill recommend it to any and everyone!

Halloween

Great

(Edit) 07/03/2019

Has a feel and sound track to it like the original which adds to the eerie suspense, classic Michael in the background and hiding in the shadows, as well as been proper angry!. More so in this film than the original.

There were lots of great moments and the odd few annoying shout at the tv as to why the characters are making stupid desissions.

If your a horror fan or a Halloween fan then this film is a must watch!

Bad Times at the El Royale

Better than expected

(Edit) 20/02/2019

Its got a murder mystery feel to it. Starts of very promising then gets a bit boring to where i started fast forwarding bits but then it picks up again and gets really good.

The cast and acting are all good. I cant think of any film its like. Obviously the showing whats happening from different perspective has been done lots. But its definitely worth watching. I just think over 2 hours was to long.

Hotel Artemis

No action

(Edit) 06/02/2019

I was excited to watch this film, its a great idea and starts off promising but i kept getting bored, i kept thinking surly some action will happen soon but no! In this type of film you expect at least a big action part at the end. And there is a small bit but nothing to what you'd expect.

Its got a smoking aces, John wick feel to it which is great. So of you imagine those films with all the action removed then thats this film.

Great cast, great idea but boring!
