American Dad! (2005)
Very Funny Show
I find myself in anticipation every Sunday night, not for the family guy, but for American Dad. I will admit that the characters are not as funny as in the family guy, but Stan Smith by himself is hilarious. I think if the show focused on him and his CIA doings more it would be a big hit. The rest of the family just seems to play off of him. I'm convinced that the German fetish fish is only funny to the writers. Give the show a chance if you haven't seen it. The episodes with Patrick Stewart are best ones, and I hope that he stays on with the show like Adam West did with the Family Guy. If anyone who matters reads this, please have more Stan, and less everyone else in the show. Especially that damn fish!
Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter (1990)
A Razzie winner if their ever was one
This is quite possibly the worst movie ever made. I was up late last night watching movies and came across this piece of filth. This movie is like a train wreck, you just can't look away but are also disgusted at the same time. The actors are horrible! The little brother in the movie apparently grew up to write Cabin Fever, he should stick to writing and away from acting. The fact that this was missed by the Razzies is truly sad. I don't mind a cheesy movie, I was a big fan the Toxic Avenger flick, but this is just a horrible knockoff. This movie should be banned. I had to sleep on it before I could sit down the truly remark on this movie. Now that I am cooled off, I can objectivly state that this very well may be the worst movie ever. Even worse than Rollerball.
Enter the Matrix (2003)
Should Have Been a Movie
I'm not much of a gamer, but I loved playing this game, mostly to watch the cinematics. I'm a huge matrix fan and I found it very innovative to tie in the game with the movie. I felt that Niobe and Ghost were not in reloaded at all and I was a little disapointed. I liked the chance to see what was going on with the logos. The down side is, people will not be playing this in ten years. What I mean by that is that when I want to look back at the matrix saga it will be very limiting because chances are that most of the systems that we play this game on today will not be commonly used in the ten or twenty years. All of the cinematics that were put into this game will not be commonly found. Warner Bros will probably re-release all of the cinematics again someday and I'll have to buy the dvd again. Anyway, the story was good. The operator, Sparks....Is a moron. Half the time I'd be better off with a chimp. You have a problem in the game and Sparks is like figure it out. If I could have added a feature it would have been to shoot Sparks when he was being so stupid.
Parents (1989)
Tackiness Galore
I watched this film with a bunch of friends at a Halloween party last night. I got to say that the sarcastic comments were never ending and I have to say that they were well deserved. Though I felt that the directing was done well, the craziness in their dialogue is just a little too much cheese. I think I got about an hour into this before I even started to realize what it was the point was that they were trying to drive home. You catch on pretty quick that this whole family is pretty quirky and something is off about them, it's just a little too slow. This movie could easily have been about 45 minutes and been a lot better. The only thing that made it bearable was the two bottles of wine that I downed during the course of the flick. Bring on the slasher films folks, because at least I know what to expect out of them. This was not my thing, too much dark humour, and the subject material of cannibalism was a bit explicit and gross. I have to say that Randy Quaid played the part as well as it could have been, and I will give him props for that as I normally see him as a drunken goofball or a washed out fighter pilot who likes to kill aliens.
In conclusion I give this horror/comedy film a very generous 3 out of 10.
28 Days Later... (2002)
A intriguing and brilliant film
This turned out to be the best film about zombies taking over since Dawn of the Dead. Though I expected it to be a cheesy flick filled with cheap pops and marginally scary events iced with an obvious romance, however it spoke a much deeper meaning to myself, filled with lessons about humanity and the basic instinct. The film's directing was simply brilliantly done, with a soundtrack complimenting the films mood perfectly. I found the characters to be compelling in their own desperate motif. The virus infecting everyone said a lot about the mob mentality and the clearly spoken arguments of how man has always killed man and that the events in the movie have nothing different then was already present in the world. I felt that if the film had continued without them reaching the source of radio broadcast, the film could have gone in a much better direction. A story of them trying to reach the broadcast like some kind of road to salvation could have been a slightly more suspenseful story. The alternate ending was actually disapointing and I was glad that they used the other ending with a more 'happier' ending. I felt that this was not one of those films where the protagonist should die. I'm not sure if birds have a symbolism, but I must have counted like 100 of them in various shots.
I thought that this was going to be Britain's answer to Resident Evil, but this was actually much better. 8/10.
p.s. This film lost one point because you can actually see a guy walking up the street when Jim is traveling through the 'deserted' London. Come on assistant directors and editors, get your stuff together!
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
The Best Horror Flick Ever Made, Period.
In the days when renting scary movies as a kid was something to do during Halloween, this film awoke me to horror flick with an actual attempt at art and will remain forever a classic. With lots of gore, practical approach, humour and presence of fear it was written and directed to a near perfection.
Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933)
Painfully Awful
In the version that I watched on DVD, it seemed that it had been edited by a drunken chimp with no fingers. When people start teleporting across the room, you know that it is all down hill from there. The dialogue was cheesy and very confusing, but maybe that is because I don't speak bad thirties New York slang...."old timer?"
Ready to Rumble (2000)
This movie was the worst movie.
Where to begin? This flick was not worth the $2.50 Canadian I paid to rent it. As a dedicated wrestling fan I was disgusted by this potrayal of not only the wrestling business but wrestling fans. If I had my way I would file a class action suit for defamation and slander of all wrestling fans. I try to appreciate every movie for what it is worth but this one got low ratings in almost every possible category. First of all, the whole the sticking of the finger up the unmentionable area of David Arquette as he did in all of his elegant and truly unremarkable acting that he gave to the world in this film. The directing was horrible. The actors did not seem to be even having fun. They made all of these dumb things about the wrestling business up. The main wrestling character wasn't even a real wrestler....he was just a bad actor. You could have got Hacksaw Jim Duggan to play that part and it would have been better. The plot itself was just so boring. They tried to present wrestling when everyone knows that it is not. Random WCW wrestlers pop out of nowhere during the film, have pointless little cameos and then disappear. It was so boring that it put me to sleep the first time trying to watch. So then I had to put myself through the agony twice. This movie was supposed to be a comedy, it turned out to be a tragedy.
The Score (2001)
A stellar cast is entertaining and enjoyable.
A fantastic film with a positive and intriging representation of a Canadian city, which is refreshing in modern Hollywood where the American hero who shoots the bad guy and saves the world is so common. I thought the plot was interesting, somewhat predicatble and Edward Norton's betrayal could be easily foreseen. A good heist film.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
A fantastic action film but Arnold has some of the cheesiest lines.
Arnold did a much better acting job in the first one when he said nothing, but I blame that more on bad writing then bad acting on his part. Definetly a good sequel worthy of recognition. I would have liked to have seen more of the future.
The Godfather Part III (1990)
Lacks the magic of the first two films
I enjoyed the film, I thought parts of it were unrealistic and unconsistent with the Godfather theme. The whole cousin incest thing was very weird. I still beleived that this film was good and a unique way to end the story, but they could have done without it.
