Doom (2005)
Big waste of a movie license
Briefly .... saw it today. The movie was scary but what a waste of potential. Missing was one of the great weapons from the game, the over-hyped BFG was a complete waste of time and used to little effect (so too the chainsaw), the game like Point of View shots that featured in the trailer only last around 10 minutes, if that and the ending was pretty weak ! The variety of monsters was severely lacking and the role they had The Rock play in the end was pretty dumb too. Yes, it IS possible to make the movie a lot more like the game and write a good story line at the same time but I guess that was just too hard for the writers and the budget. They should have consulted ID on this and hired JMS or Joss Whedon .... speaking of which, go see Serenity, its far more entertaining and a lot better value for money.
Bloodmoon (1990)
The Count from Sesame Street is scarier
If you want to see the worst Australian movies have to offer then watch this one. This show was launched in Australia with a brilliant promo that worked.... with dire warnings of possible heart problems from viewing and working on fear of public humiliation, the distributors dared viewers that if they were too scared to watch the last half hour of this "the most scariest, frightening, goriest film ever made", they would be refunded their ticket money, the only catch was they had to remain in a roped off area in the lobby signed "I was too chicken to watch". The movie was sheer torture to watch and I'm embarrassed to say the promo sucked me in. If only I had of gone for the refund, as its a 100 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Awful acting, bad scripting, very poor special effects. Some movies are fun to watch because they are awful, this stinker doesnt even entertain and cant even be considered B grade. 0 out of 10
