Prey (2019)
A bit slow, but enjoyable enough and worth the watch
I decided to watch the film without looking at the rating first. After watching it, I was surprised and somewhat shocked to see a rather low rating here.
Okay, so it's not a blockbuster (and it's not trying to be) - the plot is slow and yes there are plot holes, but compared to what's out there, 'Prey' is a decent movie.
I genuinely got a fright a few times. At one point I even found myself squinting because I was too afraid to watch.
If you're looking for a horror adventure that doesn't rely on clichés and unnecessary gore, 'Prey' is a must see.
Wrongfully Accused (1998)
Leslie Nielsen shines in 'wrongfully' rated comedy
The turn of the century ignited a flame from what was once a mere glowing coal in the spoof industry. With films such as Epic Movie, Superhero Movie and Disaster Movie, it has become easy to see why this genre is mostly seen as feeble, with even weaker reviews to support it.
Wrongfully Accused however is one of the very few spoof films that are worth giving a second look. Leslie Nielsen lends his natural parody mindset to this 1998 spoof of The Fugitive, as well as a cleverly delivered collection of other films such as Braveheart, Mission Impossible and Titanic. Ryan Harrison (played by Nielsen) has been, as the title states, wrongfully accused. Of murder that is. While running from the police, led by Lieutenant Fergus Falls (portrayed by Richard Crenna of Rambo fame), Harrison manages to not only escape from execution, but also disguise himself as a gardener, a fisherman named Buzz'n Frog, and a doctor, while acting as a private detective himself in an attempt to stop the killing of Sir Robert McKintyre from those who have framed him.
As a Leslie Nielsen fan who appreciates his unique and natural sense of humor and expression, I would say Wrongfully Accused is one of his best films – a winner in not only the spoof genre, but in the comedy world as a whole. The greater your knowledge of films, the more you will appreciate this movie. Wrongfully Accused boasts many memorable quotes and hilarious scenes which never lose their flavor, and will put a smile on the faces of the whole family, young and old. Although it lacks blockbuster special effects and a strong original storyline, I feel it is a true comedy classic worth nothing less than 8 out of 10.
