The Last Breath (2024)
Better than expected
To be honest I flicked this movie on, just to see if I could stick it out but then I saw Julian Sands' name and I thought 'wow, this must be his last movie', in fact the last few scenes show him in a wet suit and could've been anybody so not sure if he passed before it was finished? It's good, well it spends a fair bit of time on the character development, the sharks were a bit far fetched as their behaviour was a bit too sophisticated at times, the kills were pretty good and it has some nice shots, just not too grounded in reality, it's a decent couple of hours and it's Julian's last film, deserves a watch imo...
The Acolyte (2024)
You damage your cause...
...when you push an agenda via an exising I. P. you turn even neutral people against your cause, by taking a hugely successful and well liked franchise and overwrite it, not only as you infuriating the so called bigots but there are legions of on the fence and open minded people who now start to dislike your cause. You give the so called haters so much more traction...the long and short of it is 'make your own art and then destroy that ' at least then you don't dig your own grave in the pop culture graveyard. Saw Star Wars in 77, I am Trans but trash is trash, just wish you hadn't done it to such a beloved thing...
Tripod Versus the Dragon (2011)
Brilliant and Hilarious!
How did they come up with this? A brilliantly executed musical journey into the world of D&D - If you miss this then you are self abusing - Stop it and Watch it!
Need for Speed (2014)
LOL it's a feature length After Shave commercial
How can Aaron Paul sink from the dizzy heights of Breaking Bad to this mindless drivel, I don't know how big the pay check was but I assume it was pretty nebulous. If The Backstreet Boys had made a movie with screenplay by Justin Beiber, dumb on a whole new level, this fell out of some 12 year old's wet dream about driving like a mentalist with a hot blonde saying...'Oh you're good...' after every ridiculous Ariel backflip or 200mph hand break turn, I know that there are still many people? who think this is real life and that's why this film was made, to identify the cretins who need to culled from existence so please make your way to the nearest nuclear test site and please don't forget to take your copy of this film with you...
Ash vs Evil Dead (2015)
Dead Good!
I love this show, it's had a few dips along the way but when it's good it's magnificent and the 'Home Again' episode is as good as it gets (so far). It's absurd, grotesque, surreal and just plain silly but all in exactly the right measure, this is 'THE KING' of Horror/Comedy genre and probably many other genres too. Ashy Slashy is sure to be everyone's favorite cuddly toy and is on my list of must haves. I really want some of what the writers are smoking it must be really good sh*t man... Ash makes growing old disgracefully an artform and can be forgiven for almost anything including an encyclopedia of driving offenses as well as theft, vandalism, profanity and EXTREME VIOLENCE!
