Dante's Hotel (2023)

Cool story but....

[5/10 · 27 April 2024]

Certainly not the greatest quality movie. There were a number of editing errors and line mistakes by actors. It could have almost moved to comedy/horror due to the actual concept of the movie.

It was a joy to see Judd Nelson on screen again and his quirky character was probably the most quality performance in the whole movie.

The character and setting development was a high point. Who doesn't love a good old haunted hotel kind of movie and the back story on the main characters kept me watching.

A really great story which could have been better done with a higher budget I'm sure. A good watch if there is nothing else on and you love the horror genre.

Road House (2024)

Surprisingly entertaining!

[8/10 · 23 April 2024]

I went into this with low expectations and wasn't sure how it would relate to the original 'Roadhouse' movie. I found the storyline reasonable and the setting of the Florida Keys was suited to a new take on this iconic movie.

The fight scenes were enjoyable and essentially made the movie. This is an underrated movie as it can be enjoyed for just some mindless action entertainment.

Jake Gyllenhaal Impressed with his obvious preparation for this role as Dalton and provided an awesome physical presence.

Conor McGregor's character was entertaining and he certainly brought the expectation of brutal fight scenes with basic one liners, nonetheless it provides a giggle amidst the tension.

Don't skip past this movie if you do enjoy action, you won't be disappointed!
