Silent Hill (2006)
Catches the silent hill vibe nearly perfect
This movie is a great adaptation. Yes it has it's issues but it captures the silent hill vibe which can't be said about the terrible sequel. The audio design is excellent as well. From the music to creature sounds it's just.. silent hill.
Now all we need is this movie to be released in 4k HDR or Dolby Vision. I don't care if it's digital or a disc, I want it and this movie deserves it. HDR or DV would add so much to the atmosphere of the movie.
Heels (2021)
Reviews before the season is over..
Tisk tisk... This shouldn't be allowed. The entire first season could be won or lost in it's last couple episodes.
So I've given a 5 despite enjoying it. When the season is ACTUALLY OVER then I'll come back and review it again.
One thing I will say is if you are looking for a realistic behind the scenes portrayal of the wrestling business or lots of wrestling then this isnt the show for you.
It's more of a family drama based around the fact that the main character (Amell) owns a tiny single venue warehouse based wrestling company that has about 8 wrestlers total.
The Flash (2014)
What happened to this show?
Seasons 1-3 were decent enough but then after that it got very samey while at the same time the writing got worse but at least it stayed consistent.
Then in season 7 it fell off a cliff in an odd way. Before the crisis crossover it was the same kinda meh writing but then immediately after the crossover (I assume there was a break) the very next episode was atrocious and it just kept getting worse.
It's like all the previous writers just died and were replaced with fans writing fan fiction level shows. It got really bad really fast and I'm shocked it was renewed for an 8th season.
So seasons 1-3 get 7 stars
Seasons 4-6 get 5 stars
Season 7 gets 2 stars
Season 8?.. guess we find out in Nov.
Jeepers Creepers 3 (2017)
Fans stay away, everyone stay away
I'll keep this brief. I know this series isn't the best but I enjoyed the original quite a bit. It felt fresh and the creeper looked amazing especially the way they lit him and kept him mostly in Misty shadows. The second movie was merely ok and had lots of bad acting.
THIS MOVIE is a genuine insult to not only fans of the series but general audiences as well. The writing is beyond awful as is the acting. The effects are worse than ever, everything just looks cheap and the story is god awful. They don't even follow their own rules or established timeline.
I won't spoil anything but there is supposed to be this reveal and...it's just beyond stupid and completely pointless. It actually detracts from the movie despite giving no new information about the character.
Just don't watch it. Trust me...it's not so bad it's good, it's not anything but bad and if you are a fan of the series you will be dumbfounded by how utterly horrible this movie is. Worst of all it makes no sense because it was written directed and produced by the same guy who did the 1st 2 movies so how he managed to so royally ruin a great new movie monster is beyond all comprehension.
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Not bad not great, feels like a bridge movie.
So if you had any questions about Prometheus they are answered here in a way that makes perfect sense. Prometheus was laced with tons of subtext and story told through visuals. This movie is like that as well but everything is more...clear. motives make perfect sense as do most of the characters reactions.
Without spoiling the movie it feels like this is definitely a bridge between Prometheus and something bigger. Ridley Scott did a fantastic job recreating some of the atmosphere but without trampling on the original.
If you are a fan of Alien it's definitely a must watch and while it might not be a masterpiece I don't think any movie in this franchise can ever live up to the 1st 2 simply because they were absolutely incredible and they were fresh. At this point we know what's what.
Still do the listen to all the negative people around here. I think they go themselves way too hyper up for this.
It's a solid movie with no glaring issues. My one gripe is everything moves too quickly and we don't get any truly scary and intense scenes but I don't think that was the point here...I think the point was to bring us from A to B so that C could be something special and it works on that level.
Easily a 7/10 any day.
Tropes vs. Women in Video Games (2013)
cherry picked clips and blatant lies. unfortunate.
Its a video series about sexism but instead of having an intelligent conversation about the issue in gaming Anita Sarkeesian instead cherry picks video clips and outright lies about the games she shows to make her point.
Its certainly an issue that has merit speaking about but not like this. The conversation needs to be based on facts and truth. It cannot be based on images taken totally out of context and outright false information.
Aside from the poor content of the video series itself Sarkeesian has also stolen a massive amount of copy written material from youtube. Many clips are not hers, they are videos of let's play sessions ripped off of YouTube and edited into her videos. If she is stealing gameplay clips from other people are we to believe she actually played the game? I'd say no. We know she has the capabilities to capture footage. This series was on kickstarter and she made over $100,000 to fund it which is more than enough to buy a $100 capture device and $500 laptop.
There are much better examples of this same topic online and off. Seek those out and stay away from this series. Its toxic.
Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run (2006)
This is just terrible
There is nothing good about this game. It was going to be based on a movie that never even came out due to its lack of quality. The gameplay is a mix of Spyhunter for PS2 which was good, and its sequel which was somehow terrible.
The car controls are not very precise and the on foot controls are some of the worst in gaming. The graphics are nowhere near acceptable for when this game came out. The only thing somewhat decent about the game is the fact that they used The Rock as the voice for the main character.
Even if you see this game for cheap somewhere just stay away.
Creepshow 3 (2006)
What was this about?
I really enjoyed the first two Creepshow movies, they weren't cinema gold but they were at the very least entertaining.
This movie? I just don't know where to begin. All you need to know is every single short story in this movie makes no sense. Most movies of this type have some kind of twist or hook and to a certain extent this does too except they are either no clever, make no sense, or they touch on it for about 2 seconds and then move on to something else that makes no sense. I cant go into detail without a spoiler so I wont. Just know that there is no reason to watch this even if you see it for free. Its no a so bad its good movie, its just bad all around and it has zero redeeming qualities.
