Finding Bigfoot (2011)
Finding........ nothing!!!!!
I must say I was excited to see this show when I first heard about it. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed after watching the first episode. I tried stick with it but after the second episode I just watched it for a laugh.
The show is run by a clown called Matt Moneymaker (last name says everything) He claims to an expert on something he has zero proof of ever existing, he's been hunting them for 25yrs ........
Every episode is the same, they go to a wooded area, call a town meeting, get some stories from the locals, pick the stories they like best, meet the local person where they claim to have seen a bigfoot, get bobo to stand where the person saw it, predict a height and always confirm that what they saw was a bigfoot...... They then go to a random wooded area make as much noise as possible with their constant talking, howling and banging wood together. Very scientific. Any animal within 2 miles would have heard them coming and just moved in the other direction. This show is hilariously bad if anything.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 (2011)
Its OK, not great.
Well I watched this last night and left the cinema feeling a but underwhelmed. Its seems to be me like they lashed this movie together knowing full well that it was always going to be a sellout. If you have bothered with the last movies then you find yourself wanting to just get to the end. Its hard to pick 1 particular scene out but to me it didn't flow well and the script was very wish wash. I could give examples but I don't want to give anything away to those who have not seen the movie. I never found myself once feeling sad that it was the final movie. It failed badly to get the hairs tingling and the lump in the throat effect most saga's have. Very disappointing but hey, this is just my opinion. See for yourself. I would wait for the DVD tho.....
I Sell the Dead (2008)
Don't bother.
This film is a poor attempt at comedy and horror. It has mild frights and even milder humor.
The movie drags on for far too long and really is not very well cast.
The most annoying thing about this tripe is the accents that some of the actors attempt to put on. Especially Monaghans character as a kid. The majority of Irish accents are laughable apart from the odd actual Irish person who got a role in the movie(you can spot the real accents very easily).
Some scenes look like they where thrown together after the movie was finished to fill in the time.
Please save yourself a few quid and rent/buy something else.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
Christmas Cracker!
Im not going to go on too long reviewing this film. I will only go as far as saying that if it Christmas and you are home with the family,pull up a chair,pour yourself a glass of beer and enjoy one of the best Christmas movies made for a long time. They entire cinematography of this movie was spot on and was full of colours that remind you xmas. Jim Carey nails his role and makes it even more enjoyable.
On other hand if its not Christmas and you watch this it wont have the same warming effect it can have. Its an xmas movie and its that simple. Its a hole lot better than most xmas movies that have been made around the same time. i.e; the santa clause....
Spooked: The Ghosts of Waverly Hills Sanatorium (2006)
Almost Spooky.
OK so its a documentary about an old hospital that was used to treat TB and then was an old folks home. My first complaint is that I couldn't figure out why the director had the need to constantly plug his movie 'death Tunnel' whenever he could get a chance (it looks like a terrible movie). I also found some of the 'eyewitness'' accounts are no very convincing. However I did find some of the cinematography to be good and some of the stories (they more than likely made up) where entertaining. The saving grace for me was the actual location. If you google it and do a little research of your own you might enjoy this doc more. The history of this place is very interesting and tragic and while the movie has moments were it portrays this well it just cant keep it up. Good attempt but lack credibility.
