Robert the Bruce (2019)
Brilliant film
This film is really really good, I mean Really good!!! He spends 3 months in a cave and it is still interesting! Scotland gets what it deserves after a long period of War the English give up as they normally do being English and all lol. All the hard work is undone by the act of union but that is another story.
Canaries (2017)
Good Indy Film
I have no idea why some reviews on here are criticising this film, maybe they are not used to watching Indy films and expect a big blockbuster film, well this film cost £29000 to make and i think they done an excellent job. The budget does show in the film but i think they make the most of it. The film makers have a lot of talent and maybe lets hope they will put some effort into making an historical film of Wales and its struggles for independence from an oppressive state
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)
I get this film, But that doesn't make it a masterpiece.
It's been a while since i have written a review on a film, but this one has compelled me to do so again. Most of you will know what the film is about and it tries to be ironic, but it doesn't quite pull it off. For those of you that don't know what the film is about, well it's about an ageing actor that has taken to Broadway, but is often reminded of his one big film "Birdman". I get the artistic angle as you get the feel of the camera shooting the entire film in one sequence. I get the irony of actors making fun of their own profession. And we all have that voice of doubt in our heads. But what the film doesn't seem to get it's not THAT good, I mean it's OK to watch once but its probably 30 minutes too long and it is pretty boring. I understand critics saying its breathtaking or it should win Oscars, but they would as it is their industry it's their lifestyle so they would like it, and I get the feeling that it was made for the critics. For the average film lover don't waste your money or time on this film until it comes on the TV.
Prometheus (2012)
Very good film but not an alien film.
I've have been looking forward to watching this film ever since i heard that they was going to make a follow up to alien with ridley Scott. I was slightly disappointed as it ain't really an alien film, as it ain't dark and scary, and you don't get the feeling of being isolated like alien and aliens, but it is an alien film in context of how it all started, it does answer a lot of questions but also leaves a lot of questions. The gist of the story is that some archaeologists figure out a map to a planet where they think is where our creators are, so being human their curiosity gets the better of them and they decide to pop over a check it out. boy are they in for a shock.
The film is very well made and is visually stunning, and is a must watch for scfi fans, it holds its own as a stand alone film.
Kick-Ass (2010)
This film kicks ass
Watching the trailer to this film i thought to myself, nah its just another teen comic film, think again people this have got to be one of the all time classic films comic/action and its definitely not for kids, really, someone burns to death alive, also another hapless victim is cooked alive in a giant microwave, plus very bloody fight scenes.
The film is called kick ass, but its not all about him, its also about Big daddy (not the former British wrestler) and hit girl, they want to get revenge for the death of their wife/mother.
With great music to go with the superb action scenes, this is a film in which i highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
Scream 4 (2011)
De ja vue
Okay where to start, its just another teen movie, with one of the worst acting i have ever seen in a film.
Like all scream films some high school students gets murdered and you have to figure out who the killer is, a bit like murder she wrote for teenagers but with a lot of airbrushing.
Was it hard to figure out the killers? um no!! you have to be really stupid if you cant figure it out. You get the feeling that the actors are just going through the motions just to churn out another scream film, but that has happened for decades now with slasher movies. I shouldn't of expected much if scream 2 and 3 was anything to go by.
But with all the bad acting and terrible script its worth a watch if there's nothing else on the TV, just don't waste your cash on this film.
The Rite (2011)
Exorcise your demons!!!!
To be honest i never heard of this film,(or i just didn't pay any attention to it as it wasn't promoted well) until it came on sky movies. basically its about a trainee priest who doubts his own belief until he meets, a welsh exorcist in Italy. Who makes him believe.
This film could of been one of the scariest films of all time, it had the potential, but its nowhere near scary, but it is very interesting, with a strong cast (antony Hopkins is superb), it delivers, and it ain't hollywoodised which i like, as American films on the subject can sometimes be over the top, to me god and Satan is on the same par as aliens they probably haven't visited us and don't exist, but its always that, what if? that makes sci fi and horror films interesting.
Go watch this film you wont be disappointed.
Avatar (2009)
A good animation!!!!
There was a lot of hype around this film when it was released, i agree the idea for the story is good the acting is OK and the special effects are good,and the action ain't to bad either.
yes its filmed in some sort of fancy 3D camera, but do i care for some over hyped over priced film, uh no,
If you gave me the same budget i could write direct and act in a better film, because quite frankly its an animation plane and simple, there nothing wrong with making an animation but to make such a fuss over just a average film is silly,
I do recommend that you watch it but be prepared not to be impressed because i wasn't.
Apollo 18 (2011)
Not as bad as everyone is saying
I enjoyed this film, as i love anything space , Its not as good as thought it would be, but it is a low budget and how they gave you the feeling that you were watching recovered footage was spot on, the equipment that NASA and the soviets used were spot on the director really done his research on landing on the moon, and i liked that.
Did the Russians land on the moon? probably not,
Were the Americans warned never to go back on the moon? nah
Are there aliens on the moon uhh no.
Did this film make think twice and look up all the conspiracy theory's? um yes. And that is the point of the film it wants you to think, all governments bend the truth, and why haven't we ever gone back (there's a valuable moon resource on the moon helium-3). This film does it very well, i don'think it was intended to be like another alien film because we've all seen those types of films, this film is about deceit and lies by our own governments, I recommend you watch this film but don't expect to be scared.
Season of the Witch (2011)
Worth a watch
I was looking forward to this film, the plot appealed to me, the first 15minutes were OK and looked promising, then i cut to inaccurate occurrences in the crusades, first of all there's Nicolas cage and Ron pearlman fighting with American accents even though America didn't exist in the 1300s.
Maybe I'm being picky but if the actors cant be bothered to at least attempt to put on an accent maybe i should set my standards a little lower, so i did and apart for the excellent action scenes and scenery, which i must point out are very good the acting and some of the cheesy lines does let a possible good film down, i also get the feeling that cage is churning out a lot of films lately just for the cash and not his career.
Don't pay for this film wait for it to come on the TV thats all its worth
The Dilemma (2011)
$70million for what?
I just don't get this film, whats the big problem he knows his best friends girlfriend is cheating just tell him!!! but i guess this would be a very short film.
According to IMDb it cost an estimated $70million to make, its just a waste of money Ron Howard could of made it with better actors for much less, Vince Vaughn always gives the same performance in these type of films bland and boring, but sometimes in his previous films that does work for him.
I really don't know what else i can say about the film there's not a lot to it the script is OK considering the story and the idea is awful, i could think of a dozen different ideas for a film off the top of my head that is better than this film.
Avoid!
The Cable Guy (1996)
Open your mind for this film.
I love Jim carrey films, and you have to open your mind for this one and try to see it for what it is, its a disturbing comedy about a mentally disturbed man the cable guy Jim carrey.
All he wants is a friend to be wanted and to be loved, the way he goes about winning that friendship is disturbing, and carreys performance is brilliant hes far more than a comedian he a one of a kind actor there's no one else out there that could execute this role as good as he did, the film is shot in a way showing humans obsession with the television set, how we now rely on it and we stray away from what we should be concentrating on (our family life) i think Ben stiller is trying to bring this point forward.
This film was wrongly criticised by some critics for what ever reason. I recommend you watch this film twice maybe three times before you make you judgement.
For me its a cult classic.
Due Date (2010)
very disappointing
With all of the good reviews of this film when it was released i was still weary of watching it when it was released so much so that i waited for it to be in the bargain bucket in the supermarket ( i didn't have to wait long) before i decided to part with my hard earn cash to watch something that is a yawn fest at best, i think one review described it better that hangover but it doesn't come anywhere near I'm afraid, They've tried to make fun of the weird beard chunky dude to much, so much so it wasn't funny after the first 2 minutes, the scene where he is masturbating in the back seat of the car is just gross, its not funny what so ever, The opportunity to make this film as great as dumb and dumber has surpassed. It is worth a watch when it is shown on TV and there is nothing else to watch otherwise avoid.
Insidious (2010)
One of the best horrors of all time
How did they make a film that messes with you head on such a low budget is amazing, if you like to be scared watch this film, the low budget does seam to show towards to end of the film, but believe me you wont want to go in to a deep sleep for a while, the performances by the actors are top class, this film is guaranteed to raise the hairs on the back of your neck, A horror film these days consists of bored teens getting murdered for been dumb, but the paranormal activity genre seem to be reviving horror, lets just hope more will follow horror ain't just about the gore its about the Psychological effects of the film to make you believe. i enjoyed it so much i watched it twice in the same day!!! insidious 2 please
