Post Impact (2004)
'Awful' doesn't quite describe this movie...
... and I din't know what really does! I wasted a cheap blank DVD recording this movie from the Sci-Fi channel. I was unsure just how dire this film was until I saw the action (bad adjective) scenes where there were shoot-outs between the characters.
The budget on this movie was obviously so low that it allowed only one shoot of each scene, and it was in the can, regardless of how good or bad it was. The acting was of the poorest quality, including Dean Caine, who I know can do much better.
Mustn't forget the dog though... he was pretty much on queue in the attack sequences, and lived through the movie. I was fully expecting the old 'dog saves master and is killed doing so' cliché, as that is where the whole movie headed.
If you are thinking about watching this move, please save yourself the time and do something more enjoyable like pulling out your fingernails!
Ice Cold in Alex (1958)
Stonkingly great film, a true British wartime classic and worth buying the collection for!
A brilliant move that came as one of the British War Movie DVD Collection. Remember the Carlsberg ad that used the film? I thought that it was a clever bit of digital enhancement on the glasses for the 'Carlsberg' logo, but no... it was there in the movie! I had forgotten just how drop-dead gorgeous Sylvia Syms was too! Hollywood had no-one to touch her for beauty and sex appeal! The movie stated that it was a true story, but I cant find any historical basis for it, but that doesn't really matter. A good yarn none the less, which I will watch often.
