Hardcore Henry (2015)
First Person Shooter Game - should be in title
Hardcore Henry seemed well done from the two minutes of it that I could stand to sit through. I tried to watch this movie. I really did.
If you are into watching video games with poor graphic quality you might like this. But I find watching video games to be about as exciting as watching golf or watching a triathalon. Wake me up when it's my turn to play or better yet just turn off the TV when you are done.
There really should be a categorical warning in the title of all FPS movies stating explicitly that they are First Person Shooter movies so that people like me don't waste their time on them and feel compelled to express our disdain for the genre in reviews.
Don't waste your time with this one. Like all FPS movies it seems like an extension of a screen capture that is only relevant to the person with the joystick.
Round Ireland with a Fridge (2010)
Gem of a film
Was looking for something to watch tonight and stumbled upon this movie. Not knowing anything about it I took a chance. What a great surprise.
The only thing you need to know about this film is that it is about people being people and the humanity of the world we live in. It embraces the good and the bad in all of us in a warm and genuine way. That's something which is in terribly short supply in the movie industry these days.
If you are looking for mindless violence, scantily clad models, plastic actors, shallow performances, recycled ideas, bombs going off, expensive special effects and the like you might want to skip this one. It's not for you. But if you want a movie that will engage and captivate from beginning to end, you won't be disappointed.
The story line was not just original it was inspiring. The casting was excellent. Tony Hawks performance was superb. The director did a great job with the cinematography, staging scenes and capturing moments, and matching people with their roles.The only negative thing I can say about the movie was that every once in a while it felt like some of the lines were a bit forced. But then again, taking a book and making a movie out of it always comes with special challenges.
I give this movie a 10. Magnificent.
The Last Rites of Ransom Pride (2010)
A true Gem
The people who gave this a bad review clearly do not understand the B rate movie genre. I stumbled upon this little gem by accident and really liked from the start. By 10 minutes in I was on the edge of my seat wondering what the director was going to do next. I'm not going to spoil this by providing plot clues and tidbits about exciting scenes. I'm just going to give my impression and let you decide for yourselves. This movie is well casted. The script isn't awful. The cinematography is gripping. The story line is fitting of the genre. The acting is OK. Suspend disbelief for a few moments, just remember that it's B Rate, and enjoy it for what it is.
