Road House (2024)
Hard As Nails
The original Road House was a brilliant movie which you could watch again and again. This more modern and different take on it is a bare-knuckle, tough and somewhat crazy Florida-set world where Jake Gyllenhaal's "Dalton" shines. Connor McGregor's psychotic performance is also well done.
It's an
enjoyably entertaining reboot and a fitting tribute to its predecessor, all with the right blend of humour and wit to keep it flowing smoothly throughout the
2hr runtime.
The director has been worthy previously with the likes of Elysium and District 9 as part of his accolades. It would be well worth checking out some of Blomkamp's shorts come to think of it.

I am astonished that this made it to film..
I give it 1/4 of a star really.
An absolutely horrendously bad horror movie that should never have been made. The best part of the movie is the good-looking girls, but even they get ripped to shreds before you know it.
The acting and editing were awful. Worse than awful. The plot begs belief. The gore is laughable. The sex aswell. The villains are hilariously dire. Even the opening credits are not readable. I could have directed some piece of horror dross in my back garden on a Saturday night and it would have provided more value than this.
All in all, this film is as bad it gets. Actually worse than that. A total waste of a precious 90 minutes! Avoid at all cost. And then some.
Lakewood (2021)
Crud
Not really a unique idea, was it? We have seen this before all too often. Watts holds the screen well given the running time of the movie, but after some promise in the first half, it rather falls flat on its own backside with a wafer-thin storyline.
Was that an UBER she ordered?
Candy Corn (2019)
Incredibly Bad -
Absolutely awful! How on earth is this ever made and then released. I can name a THOUSAND bad things but here's just one:
The Sheriff telling his Son about the murders over the phone - cue slow-mo + overhead music. I mean come on, will you?
