In Your Face (2002)
For Paintballers Only
In Your Face is aimed only at a specific audience, the paintball players. In a nutshell, this movie is about a teen who uses paintball as a release for a bad childhood with an overworked mother, alcoholic father, and controlling older sister in a motherly role.
He, and 4 friends, form a 5 man (4 men, 1 woman to be exact) team to play in a Speedball tournament, and with the help of a former British commando, form the team "Direct Damage". Their chief rival is Team Caustic, led by the arrogant and spoiled nephew of the local shop owner/tournament sponsor.
Plot runs thins at points, but remains consistent. Post-production work could have been better, but they must have blown the budget on the one special effect. Fairly good acting, language was a little harsh.
Final Destination 2 (2003)
Would have been better if it weren't for the boom mic..
Final Destination 2 was in fact better then the previous. More blood, thicker plot, and no cheap running gimmick. They explained what happened to the 3 survivors of the first movie (when it went to black leaving everyone wondering).
The main fault with the movie was in the editing. In no less than 4 scenes, the boom microphone is clearly visable. In 2 scenes, it's just poking down into the top of the frame. In one, it came down far enough to ruin what would have been a great scene. In the 4th, the mic was at nose level with the actors. Needless to say, there's probaly a cameraman, mic operator, and editor who'll never work in Hollywood again.
It'll be interesting to see if it is removed when it is put to video!
Skull: A Night of Terror! (1987)
If this were a Sci-fi, it wouldn't be good enough for MST3K
After reviewing a copy of the directers cut, I can safely say that "Puma man" and "Hobgoblins" are far better movies. With it's pointless start with "Skull" in his prison cell, and his yelling when the lights go out, not exactly cluing you in on anything useful. Following that is Jennifer King (played by Nadia Capone)taking a few liberties with her sleeping husband David, (Robert Bidaman). If this was a Sci-Fi flick, it would have not been shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000. It's not good enough.
