Tremors 2

Tremors 2 left me cold .

(Edit) 12/07/2018

First in the series was entertaining, this follow up is a Yawn fest . hard to stay interested in it ,my mind wandered as it was soo dull.

and suddenly the Worms are Chickens ??? where are the Damn Worms I was watching for ??? Give it a wide berth . This Movie Stinks !

Thelma

Thelma Bore-low .

(Edit) 01/07/2018

I had High hopes for this movie as it had 4 stars . But in actual fact it was pretty tedious .

A nice enough Lesbian Love story with silly telekinetic powers thrown in . Picture a Modern Day CARRIE but without the Blood or Excitement.

Too Much Christianity all through made it feel Horribly Preachy , A Very Slow Moving story , and a not very well rounded off ending.

and obviously a Mans version of Lesbian Love as both were Calvin Klein Model types as we know ALL Lesbians are ....Yeh right.

Some may enjoy this, I wont be giving it a second viewing ,life is just too short.

The Gift

The Gift

(Edit) 01/07/2018

Hadnt realised I had already seen this Movie on TV .

I didnt know the title of the film I saw at the time catching it half way through.But it is a very Good Thriller in the same kind of mold as Fatal Attraction,Single White Female or any other 'Stranger gets to know you to Fu@k your life up' kind of film.

Slow moving but unusual in that the Stalker / Baddie is giving very welcome and useful Gifts but all the time undermining the lives of a young couple in a new home.

Well worth a watch or even several .

The Very Very Good Neighbour

(Edit) 28/06/2018

Great Movie, Entertaining and Suspenseful.

Well worth more than the one watch. its a great Thriller .

Pet

Pet .... Peculiar

(Edit) 25/06/2018

Very Entertaining and Twisted Kidnap story. Who has Kidnapped Who? What on Earth will Happen Next ? How will This End ?

Ok , so Not the Most Amazing Thriller / Horror out there but well worth seeing more than the once .and I think Very Unusual .

It has everything the Usual Kidnap Story has, a Sad and Lonely Looser , a Pretty Girl ,a Great Hiding Place ....BUT ...That's where Comparison ends ... Change Gear,Redirection....... Go!

Something Very Different Directs the Action , Takes the Story on a Very Different Path ..... Love ,Madness,Murder,Control.

Well Worth a look or Two ........

I Remember You

I Remember You.....Or Do They ?

(Edit) 25/06/2018

Very Twisted telling of a Ghost Story /Haunting/Murder/Lost Child/Grieving Father/Terrible Accident.

In all it actually came across like a very well made TV Drama than a Movie. BUT ,although slow in the telling it is a Dramatic story and well worth watching to the end. Though I was left dissatisfied with the eventual outcome ,many wont be .Not Everyone gets a Happy Ending .

Sad, Scary, Horrible and Something Finally taking its Revenge .

Cult of Chucky

CULT ?

(Edit) 21/06/2018

Entertaining entry into the Chucky universe . Nothing very New except here we have more than the one Chucky !

Some Old characters, from earlier episodes, reappear ,As usual no one believes a Doll is killing, so its much the same as every other Child's Play/Chucky movie . Odd choice of Ending though.

The Occupants

Occupants ...get them Out !

(Edit) 21/06/2018

Mostly Irritating ,but watchable. Is it real or is she Mad, Are they Ghosts or memories ? Is it the House or a person ?

Who ,What ,When and Where and do we really care enough to find out ?

And why ,for goodness sake , is the main character going back time after time to that Creepy ,unattractive Ex boyfriend for help ???

best I can say is ...hmmm ,Whatever . but its not the worst film I've seen this year .

Black Panther

NOT a Superhero /Avengers Movie at all.

(Edit) 17/06/2018

Pretty well bored me to tears. Forgot I was watching a Marvel Movie as It just seemed like some old style Tarzan Movie.

and Very Little on the Super hero front. just a lot of Men being Men and fighting over very little.

Basically ,an African Super Rich,Super Advanced, Superpower in Hiding and Selfishly completely Ignoring the Starvation and War on their doorsteps in other parts of Africa . Far more worried about loosing the smallest piece of their wealth via a Stolen Museum Hammer Head than caring for the Billions dying all around them in Famine and War .

Hideously vacuous Yet Horribly Racist,

A Super Wealthy ,Super Advanced , Super Power ,But ride about on Rhino and use Spears ,wearing Lion Cloths and Wrestle to the Death on Cliff tops in Hand to Hand combat . All Because they are African ....REALLY? ....so not Very Super Advanced then ? :/

Easily the WORST Entry in the Marvel Franchise. personally I wish I hadn't bothered .

Capture Kill Release

Capture ,Kill....But NO Release ....where did that come from ?

(Edit) 17/06/2018

American Low Budget attempt at something akin to 'Man Bites Dog' via a homemade Snuff Movie /Documentary .

Film quality is Low but special effects are High Grade . I had to ask myself had they really done that to the cat or was it fake?

Interesting film, kind of ends how you imagine it must .so no shock there but an interesting journey none the less.

Ghost Team

Ghost Team Supreme

(Edit) 14/06/2018

Entertaining and Funny , Imagine the movie CLERKS but going on a Ghost Hunt .

Black Comedy and New Friends more than in any way a Horror movie.

Interesting and Likeable Casting with many faces from different similar Dark Comedies pulled together .

Well worth more than the one watch .

A Good Marriage

Pretty Un Good Marriage

(Edit) 14/06/2018

As with MOST Stephen King Novels made into Movies ,Its CHEAP and has that Made for TV quality like an Episode of 'Tales from the Dark Side' or 'Tales from the Crypt' or something similar .

Mostly irritating ,because as with most Horror ,The characters Never Do What They Should or what you are Screaming at the Screen for them to do. But saying that it all Ends pretty well. just in that Long Winded and Unnecessarily Complicated way .

Entertaining enough but really ,for a Stephen King ,not a memorable experience .CARRIE or The SHINING it really isnt .

Was a short story from a Compilation and truly comes across as that , would have made an OK segment in an Anthology Thriller .

The Other Side

I wish I had Watched the Other Side !

(Edit) 10/06/2018

Really ,really bad movie. Main problem is the Main Character just Can Not Act ...

Why she got the part I do not know, but her attempts at Screaming are Laughably bad . In the end i gave up and turned it off .

Unwatchable Rubbish .

Gremlin's Curse

Gremlins it wasnt.

(Edit) 10/06/2018

Wouldn't have been half as bad if the Animated Gremlin was a bit better . Very low level competence in CGI sadly.

But to be honest, Every Character in the Movie Deserved to DIE for being an absolute Moron.

Entertaining to a point but only by chance .certainly not worth a second look.
