Westworld: Crisis Theory (2020)
Not perfect, or as good as season 1. But a welcome change
Season 3 was always going to be different once we knew they were leaving the park, and I for one was excited to see the continuation.
This whole season had been a different westworld, and the finale no less so. But even with a lot more "sci-fi" shoot outs and neon colours, I still loved seeing the characters where they stood now from when they started. I'm very excited for season 4
Black Sheep (2006)
Baa...
"Black Sheep" I wasn't sure what to think of it when I started watching it. But into the first 15 minutes I was laughing hysterically.
This film is a mixture of lots of different horror/comedy films.I noticed some references to "An American Werewolf in London (1981)" and "The Birds (1963)" in this film.
Although the plot was slightly predictable, it was filled with fresh humour and brilliant acting.
Now, the sheep: Sheep are usually pictured as cute fluffy things associated with spring. Well, this film will change all of that, these sheep are scary, and will have you laughing as well.
Overall, Black Sheep is a film that should be watched, especially if you enjoyed "Shaun of the Dead (2004)". 8/10
Baa...
Scream 3 (2000)
A brilliant underrated ending to a great trilogy 8/10
Scream 3. Starring Neve Campbell, David Arquette and Courteney Cox Arquette.
After the original Scream (1996) Director Wes Craven and writer Kevin Williamson continued the story into a disappointing Scream 2 (1997). After that I wasn't sure about Scream 3. But, I went to see it and I was amazed.
Scream 3 is brilliant. All the surviving characters are back (Even a video recording of Randy (Jamie Kennedy) who died in Scream 2) This time they are in Hollywood filming "Stab 3" the second sequel based on the events of the 1st and 2nd scream movies. Sidney Prescott (Campbell) is living under a new name in a isolated house. But she gets a call from someone with a familiar voice: "Hello Sidney".
While that is happening ex-cop Dewey Riley (Arquette) is working on the set of Stab 3, and after a couple of deaths (and a series of clues to Sidneys mother's death) reporter Gale Weathers (Cox Arquette) shows up. When Sidney arrives they decide to try and find him.
The suspense is still there, great dialogue, good humour and great special effects (especially on some of the death scenes). If you liked Scream and Scream 2, you must watch this, it ties up all of the unanswered questions that all fans will be asking.
I know this can never live up to the original Scream. But it is definitely better than Scream 2. If you're a fan, watch it. If you haven't seen the other two movies first, watch them, then this one.
8/10
GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (2004)
best bond game
"Goldeneye: Rogue Agent" is easily one of the best Bond games ever. Instead of playing Bond (as you do in most of the other 007 games) you play an MI6 agent who was dismissed after killing Bond in a training exercise. You then go to work for Auric Goldfinger, alongside Pussy Galore, Oddjob and Fransisco Scaramanga. Goldfinger has created a new weapon called the OMEN, which can disintegrate all living matter. Unfortunately, Dr No is after the OMEN, he hires Xenia Onnotopp and a group of powerful thugs (mini-bosses who are harder to kill) to try and get the device.
You play in places such as "Fort Knox", "The Octopus" (an undersea lair), Crab Key and Volcano Island. The story is set as an alternative MI6, Goldfinger is M, Oddjob is your partner is some levels (like 006), Scaramanga is Q and Pussy Galore is the Beautiful women. The graphics are good, the controls are easy and the story is brilliant.
This is easily the best game for Bond fans 10/10
Spooks: Aftermath (2006)
wow!!!
This is the first series of "Spooks" that I have watched, and I have to say: this is the best out of the whole 5th series! The acting is good, the story is very good, and the whole episode is edge-of-your-seat stuff.
A group of Environmental terrorists break into the Thames Barrier and intend to blow it up unless the British government hand over a secret file to them. The Government deny all knowledge of this file and the Spooks team have to try and stop the terrorists from detonating the explosives and causing a flood of London.
Sounds good? It is! If you are going to pick a single episode of spooks to watch, watch this one. 10/10!
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
a brilliant end of the trilogy (Spoilers)
Spoilers! "At worlds end" is absolutely wonderful! Not as good as the first or second, but it is the best finale of a trilogy I have seen in my lifetime. All the characters are back which is good, and a few new characters! Captain Sao Feng, The Pirate Lords and Captain Jack's dad who is played brilliantly by Keith Richards.
"At Worlds End" puts all of the pieces that where found in the first two into place. Who Davy Jones love is, how did Tia Dalma bring back Barbossa? and what happened to Jack?! The movie can be confusing at times. Especially with all the different Jacks, and the scenes go to quickly to fully understand what they mean. In my opinion that was the only downside. All in all I give this movie a 9.5/10!!
Pink Floyd: The Wall (1982)
"We don't need no education..."
"The Wall" is a very strange and disturbing movie. Thats why i like it! It shows problems that real life can face. the music is absolutely brilliant (especially the "Another Brick in the wall" trilogy) which helps progress the movie which had very little dialogue. The images is very very weird: the clip of children marching along and falling into a blender (i think its a blender) and coming out as what looks like mince meat is a scene that will remain in my mind for most of my life. The animation by Gerald Scarfe was very clever, he showed simple images but with the music, it became in image that nearly everyone will recognise.
Apart from all the descriptions, this is a brilliant movie that is sorely underrated. I recommend that you see it.
10/10
Hot Fuzz (2007)
hilarious action comedy
Hot Fuzz is a movie that people could watch over and over again and still laugh out loud. It puts action, comedy and gore together to make a 1 hour 55 min movie that could not have been made better. Unfortunately i did not see this in the cinema but when i got it i went straight home and watched it and i have got to say, i am really glad.
The story: Top London cop Nicholas Angel gets transferred to Sandford by his jealous boss. He then tries to adapt to a comfy village life (and annoying partner) but finds it difficult. Then, when a few grizzly "accidents" rock the village, he is very suspicious and starts growing paranoia and is convinced it was murder. Is he mad, or is the village not what it seems.
Sounds good? It is. I would recommend it to everyone that likes Shaun of the Dead.
Rated (15) 10/10
Duel (1971)
his first...
and one of his best! Duel is Steven Spielberg's first film and it certainly jump started his career! This is a brilliant movie which should be on classic shelves everywhere. Duel is a very intense movie which kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. David Mann is played brilliantly by Dennis Weaver and the truck, well, lets say it is one of the most odd murder weapons in movie history. The music helped the movie intensely. The mixture of engine and other noises gave duel a really creepy atmosphere. There is only one downside: The movie could of done with less dialogue, there is little as it is, but it let down the atmosphere a bit. But, apart from that Duel is a creepy and brilliant movie that will always be one of my favourites!
9/10
Doctor Who: Blink (2007)
absolutely...
... Brilliant! I am a rock-hard doctor who fan! not many stories or monsters get me scared like this! I have got to say, that this is my favourite episode of the new doctor who series (excluding finales) Also, the story is so simple, but very, very effective: A girl has 17 dvds which all have a special feature: a secret message by the doctor recorded in 1965. As she tries to decipher it she keeps getting followed by stone angels. You don't think of angels as scary do you? But these ones will send you behind the sofa in fear. Steven Moffat did a brilliant job at making this episode the creepiest of the series! I hope Steven Moffat does more of these and if he does i will be there!! 10/10
