The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2018)
Great start but
Very interesting. Six short stories, the first story was awesome, and I was really looking forward to a movie based on this one character and his antics. The second story was okay. The third story with Liam was probably the least impressive at all. The fourth was better, and then slowly the stories got worse as they progressed through the movie. It's an interesting concept and one that has been done previously. I do like the bit of violence that was contained in some of the stories and it did leave me wanting for more. I was hoping for a recap at the end that would tie it together but sadly this didn't happen.
The Rookie: Life and Death (2021)
Jumping the shark!
The shows about being a rookie but we seem to you now been some kind of espionage spy series. Not quite sure where they're heading but I think you've lost the plot, get back to what the show was originally about, it was really good.
Earthfall (2015)
B Grade wannabe!
With anticipation high after reading the plot summary - A rogue planet roars through our solar system. It acts as an intergalactic magnet that pulls Earth in its wake..... Sounds good? Well I had high hopes of a fun B Grade classic.
To the directors / writers credit they did use every cliché available and the effects were as expected for a low budget production. The acting could have been better but there is potential for Denyse Tontz who was the best of the group and did have some credibility.
The plot moves along and the story keeps you engaged enough as tension builds for the climatic finale.
Then BOOM it's over. No idea if the solution that the world agreed upon worked or what.... just the end. This was the reason I didn't give it a 5/10.
Europa Report (2013)
What an interesting film
What an interesting film, I have to say the acting was very believable and the effects pretty good for a low budget film. The more I thought about this movie and what the crew went through the more I wanted to like it, I found myself feeling and caring about the characters and what was happening to them. The story set in the future, well not too distant future seemed very plausible. The editing didn't help enhance or explained what and why things transpired. I found myself wanting to give this a higher score but always fell back to that way it was edited, I hated IT! I'm have no idea why the filmed jumped back an forward from the launch to 2 years later, there was no benefit to doing that, the story I found was solid and could have been and easy 7 or maybe an 8. Will there be a follow up mission to Europa, who knows but it they do I will be watching.
USS Seaviper (2012)
Definitely not good but it had good intentions
OK, firstly I would not recommend this film as it had lots of bad but in saying that there was lots of potential.
It was nice to see a story that has been untold about WW2 and the Germans and Japanese and the A Bomb. The problem with this film is that its slow and drawn out with things that are not of interest. The acting is poor and sadly some of the actors are so bad that it brings the rest of the cast down. There should have been more effort with the script and the background story, this would of then made us care about the crew and what there missions was. In the middle of the film there is a 15min piece of someone that we don't care about getting his leg amputated by a doctor who would look bad on general hospital.
I think that the producers should sit down and look at there mistakes, don't give up as we need more War films, refine the script and build a good story, then with some better actors you will be on a winner.
Hope this is of some help
Terra Nova (2011)
Jurassic Stargate that may not last the distance!
I watched this last night and although the acting was average it did suck me in a little or should I say enough so I will tune in a few more times.
I have a million questions about the choice of who went back to the past, the lottery and how it was conducted and who could or couldn't win, why the sixes would go rogue. I hope that they may cover some of this in the future but as with all Fox TV shows I won't hold my breath
As for being like Lost
I hated lost! It lost me when it went
.NO WHERE!! I have never understood why they try to drag out a series when sometimes they should finish after just one or two seasons.
Not Another Not Another Movie (2011)
What a waste of my life!
Well, I started watching this with some hope of enjoyment and it only took 5 minutes and I new that this was going to be bad, I never thought any film could be this bad! I don't know what was worse the fact that some of my favorite old time actors lowered them selves to this drivel or that there is someone stupid enough to put up the money to have this made. As a fan of spoof movies I was hoping for something a bit out of the ordinary and I watched to the end, why? I should have stopped at the 5 minute mark and watched grass grow or paint dry as that would have been 100 time more entertaining. I am sure that you guess I didn't like it but this film needs a 0 out of 1o. Avoid it like the plague! Don't believe me watch it for yourself, why should I be the only one to suffer!!!!!
51 (2011)
A look inside area 51
What a pleasant surprise!
I was expecting a tacky TV presentation. I should of had more faith as it starts Bruce Boxleitner (savior of Babylon 5) he as a knack for turning up in some B grade classics. What a treat this was and it left me wanting more!
It just shows you don't need a big budget to make an entertaining SciFi movie. Its a pity the producers of Skyline didn't have the same aspirations.
Rather than doing remakes its time we went back to the classic story telling of the fifties and just had fun. It doesn't have to have the best special effects and there will always be plot holes but who cares! Lets just enjoy the adventure and live long and prosper.
Well done.
Skyline (2010)
Why Why Why
I went to this with hopes of a good bug/alien flick, - wow what a surprise! - The worst acting or maybe just miscasting set the way for a big CGI waste of time. Im sure that when they sat down they envisioned a new alien classic and thats where the thought ended.
This could of been so much better and with NO ENDING or just a TV series to follow ending, the brother have made me Grimm. On a final note, the poster was not half bad and the internet teasers made me get of my but and go to the flicks again with Bruce. I just hope that out there somewhere someone is making the next ID4 or even Mars Attacks. In 30years my kids will be saying did you see that b-grade classic...........
Kenny (2006)
We all know a Kenny!!
If there is only one film you see all year, It has to be Kenny. From the moment we meet him you get the feeling he is someone you know. From his best mates through to his dad, we all have had the pleasure of meeting such down to earth and wonderful people. If you get offended by POO then maybe this isn't for you, but as Kenny says we all do it and for the first 2 years as a child's life we clean it up for free, at least he gets paid for it.
If you liked the Castle and the true Aussie humor then don't wait to see this and see it with an audience as that the best way to let the laughs out. Kenny is 9/10 it doesn't get much better than this :-)
Volcano (1997)
Why Why Why?
I watched this again the other night and had forgotten how BAD films can be,
This movie would have to have the worst direction EVER!!
the ending makes me want to (*&%^%$#)scream!!
What the hell was the director smoking that would make him think that we would believe anyone would wait for a building to fall on them?
Lucky for us Tommy Lee can out run a building and manage to save the day.
WOW what luck.
Mick Jackson should give up as he has no idea. 2/10
Ps- LA story was great, so what has happened.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Its good to live in Australia
How good it was to see the next installment in the ongoing destruction of the rest of the world. Roland Emmerich loves to destroy things and he hasn't let us down this time. The CGI was very well done, and I even got into the story. Some things were left unanswered as per usual, but you can't please everyone (especially me).If you love disaster movies then add this to your collection. 8/10 -
SPOILER, why did they tease me with the son being able to do calculus in his head and then not use that, mmmm maybe he did lie?
Timeline (2003)
What was worse, The acting or directing?
From what seemed to be a good story we ended up with a group of duds on a quest no one seemed to care about. The acting was pathetic and Richard Donner should have done a lot better with his direction, what was with the wimpering thoughout the film, i hated Paul Walker (the lead dud) and didnt care much what happened to him or his group. Its such a pitty that with some GOOD actors and the old Richard Donner (LW1,LW2,LW3,Superman Etc.)this should have been the next time travel hit. Shame on you all.
Punch-Drunk Love (2002)
The worst film i've seen this year
What was Adam Sandler thinking, and why did I keep watching? This is one of the biggest pieces of drivle ever made. Save your time and money and watch anything else - even comercial tv!
Logan's Run (1976)
25 Years later and still running
Its been a long time since I watched this classic and how happy was I to find the dvd copy has made this film even more special, Looking around today at the lack of GOOD Sci-Fi I find myself going back to the classics, ( Forbiden Planet, Monolith Monsters, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, The Omega Man, Etc. ) they are all still the best form of entertainment. lets just hope they dont go and remake this or any more classic.
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002)
Not bad if you haven't seen the trailers
I'm so glad i bought this DVD site unseen, if i had seen the preview i would have seen the twist at the end ( obviously they didn't think the show needed a twist? ) who knows, I think the people marketing the film are the ones to blame for the poor reviews and revenue return.
Not the worst thing Eddie has done.
