How come lame ass reality TV isn't affected, and called out for, by the law of diminishing returns. Like movies are. What once seemed new, alive, original, even entertaining. Is no longer. The horse not so much flogged. More annihilated.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr Majestyk is one of three things :-</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Either it's a slow burning action movie with the good guy being pushed till he breaks. an age old story but this is from the 70's</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
Or, the blueprint for every single A-Team episode that was ever made. We're talking the set up, the bad guys, the woman, the driving. Everything<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Or, it's an advert for the strength, speed and agility of the Ford Pick-up truck. Apparently it was, the following year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's still a great watch with the dependable Mr Bronson though, and I would recommend you get a viewing in before the inevitable Statham remake which will probably end up a combination of this and First Blood. Hmm, that sounds quite good "'Why you keep pushing my fackin' melons you slag!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Dirty looking, stylised, violent, sweary London crime thriller that could have been great if hadn't had tried too hard. Bullshit action can twist on a whim, characterisation and story can't. Most of the good work is pissed up against the wall with the weak ending regardless.</div>

The Battle for Helm's Deep condensed into a much bloodier and gorier rated flick with a healthier bum time of only two hours and with no silly talking trees breaking up the action. The limb and body count for this movie is seriously high for something that pretends it's factual. It get's proper Medieval on your ass.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The American is pretty much what you'd expect from a George Clooney film. Well acted, well shot and well directed. Stylish, like the man. But despite this, it is a wafer thin, seen it all before typical story of a Hitman that is fed up with the life he lives and want to throw it all in. As we all know, Hitman cant just hand in their 4 weeks notice and collect the P45, and so begins the age old tale of hunter turned hunted.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The difference with this version though is that it's all rather slow, dull and pointless as it meanders along to it's predictable conclusion. Not for me this Italian Melodrama, the best bit being when George emerges from those tiny doors. Badly framed shot??</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-70002394203678821472012-01-02T14:14:00.000-08:002012-01-02T14:14:32.302-08:00Sanctum - Men with Hats at Work<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A load of climbers get stuck in a flooding cave system and get picked off one by one in Descent style minus the the suspenseful supernatural horror element. It's a bit like The Poseidon Adventure (in fact really like it in places) except not as terrifying because you're unlikely to ever find yourself in a cave other than Wookey Hole, whereas a capsized boat could happen on a jaunt to The Isle of Wight. The shouty Aussie gets on your nerves as well.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apparently, this film is great in 3D and is produced/presented/not really involved by James Cameron. That tells you all you need to know before you even watch it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">Kevin Smith of the Nerds Rom Com genre directs his first horror movie. He should have stuck to what he knows as this was a very average movie. Very little shock or suspense for a horror movie and a cop out ending (no Pun intended). Oh well, at least the killers didn't require a twisted sexual motive for their murderous intent. That made a nice change.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">He should stick to what he knows best. And I hope the rumours aren't true that this and Cop Out are his last films. I mean they would and should be if he hadn't already shown such great talent.</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-80495239124160717852011-11-27T15:13:00.000-08:002011-11-27T15:13:11.451-08:00Invention of Lying - Best film ever made ;)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGybNTIBhKfkhFKBMVo691g1ISAk_Y9dQ1jL93wWPfgfjj3cNvzFXHVU2n3G11P0A-FG0kyrI_Cq8r8SR5YE8SBOBV_PccKneVboJxyeIR-hN8iC09CTrTR-e10rD6pcfH2nhqPdef1SQ4/s1600/invention_of_lying.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGybNTIBhKfkhFKBMVo691g1ISAk_Y9dQ1jL93wWPfgfjj3cNvzFXHVU2n3G11P0A-FG0kyrI_Cq8r8SR5YE8SBOBV_PccKneVboJxyeIR-hN8iC09CTrTR-e10rD6pcfH2nhqPdef1SQ4/s400/invention_of_lying.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Never going to be a great film. As funny as Ricky Gervais is, that whiny self depreciation humour will grate in a feature length movie. And he does. Despite some great scenes and one liners this film degenerates into nothing more than a predictable comedy. It is saved though because of the incredible dig at organised religion. I could watch those jokes over and over again. :D</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-56015945488370953432011-11-27T14:59:00.000-08:002011-11-27T14:59:48.850-08:00Piranha - Buns for show, Boobs for a Pro<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl_iG3oX1NfO-wgn2wFHuSidcCg0OZIhxKG0p5e8NLHtwZmXMOMoiFihglQI26jw7BURRIL4rDAxBIh1aV5EDTpIt4gFR16rwoHtbPG1s8s_ipi0EEf6cuKoEVtr5FY0WXIGng3djZt-cp/s1600/piranha.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl_iG3oX1NfO-wgn2wFHuSidcCg0OZIhxKG0p5e8NLHtwZmXMOMoiFihglQI26jw7BURRIL4rDAxBIh1aV5EDTpIt4gFR16rwoHtbPG1s8s_ipi0EEf6cuKoEVtr5FY0WXIGng3djZt-cp/s400/piranha.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">High budget Lowbrow splatter fest. Follows the rules of all crap horror movies but with an incredible on screen budget and all star guest appearance list. It's all about the flesh on show though, with both the spring break bikini clad type and with the torn off the bones type getting plenty of screen time. Add some shooting fish shotgun action and Braindead-esq blade chomping and this should have been a B movie classic. </div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Although it could be seen to be studio doppelganger of one of the greatest movies of recent years (<a href="http://theempireneverended.blogspot.com/2010/07/kick-ass-non-conformist-genre-genre.html">Kick-Ass</a>), Super couldn't be more different. It has Independent movie written all over it, if the soundtrack, the sparse sets, quirky individuals and the stark reality don't convince you then the appearance of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0680983/">Ellen Page</a> should confirm it.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">But it's a dark twisted comedy you embark on if you watch this film. When<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0933988/"> Rainn Wilson</a> picks the Wrench as his weapon of choice against crime then you know this is where his Dwight Shrute character from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386676/">The Office</a> could reach if ever allowed. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">And that's the simplicity of this film. No gloss, just the thin line between Superhero Crime fighter and psychopathic maniac.....</div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Very short Movie (about 75 minutes if you take out the credits and cheap graphic start), absolutely no character development. I don't think anyone even has a name. Of course, this could be forgiven if the screen is filled with some bad-ass action, but it isn't. Most of the time they just seem to be riding off somewhere else on their big old motorbikes. When people do stop to 'develop', it all seems so tinpot.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In truth, I think Nic felt he needed to make up for that awful cheese fest that is <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0259324/">Ghost Rider</a> with a similar styled affair, but hey, for adults this time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cars, explosions, Insane stunts along with ridiculous posing and dialogue (all intended of course) make this a film to reward the senses. And a film that feels it can steal from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0465602/">Shoot 'Em Up</a> clearly knows it's audience from the first frame.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Loved every minute, with only the soundtrack letting things down for me at times. St Nic proving again that it is possible to love his films whilst despising his acting at the same time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001209/">William Fitchner</a> saving the day for Nic in this one. He's never bad Merely Badass. maybe I should do a list of Nic Cage films I hate him in but still love and then investigate how the movie rises so well above the lead.</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-44198214836222888742011-07-18T12:37:00.000-07:002011-07-18T12:37:37.546-07:00Mirrors - Vampires Weekend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsw7WVOVSH-Ckk9y4yuYa-4H_2lsMvPOjFjB4yxtc5-7vCnyK1ePvNJDQhnRyh0cqmNet57D7885yN5OFG1jsO8rEsDM-FkDllMre7Up8lshLnczPVj7BUBXJICpFC5HQSl2oeyYClL1_M/s1600/mirrors-_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsw7WVOVSH-Ckk9y4yuYa-4H_2lsMvPOjFjB4yxtc5-7vCnyK1ePvNJDQhnRyh0cqmNet57D7885yN5OFG1jsO8rEsDM-FkDllMre7Up8lshLnczPVj7BUBXJICpFC5HQSl2oeyYClL1_M/s400/mirrors-_2.jpg" width="268" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Want to make a Horror film? Always use Mirrors as they are a guaranteed scare factor. Stick in a few classy deaths, try not to get bogged down and hire a quality lead in Kiefer Sutherland. It's not gonna win any awards but it's up there with video rentals we all grew up with a loved in our youth.</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-80801616109365349432011-07-18T12:25:00.000-07:002011-07-18T12:25:09.453-07:00The Quick and the Dead - It's a crap name for a film really<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv7dpSELavdnbkKWeom1kpT3OEjWY9kRiKo0-l-egQ9PyKGQFVvplY7mxAdCWuSeF2BHWdgzT3Cfwcc_hnPFchR8a_cbPERSrEeMhN2nCE1h6vPNBAtLk2JsBmxH2x1wvq_AuLCqvgazyv/s1600/quick+and+the+dead.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv7dpSELavdnbkKWeom1kpT3OEjWY9kRiKo0-l-egQ9PyKGQFVvplY7mxAdCWuSeF2BHWdgzT3Cfwcc_hnPFchR8a_cbPERSrEeMhN2nCE1h6vPNBAtLk2JsBmxH2x1wvq_AuLCqvgazyv/s400/quick+and+the+dead.jpg" width="268" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">A watch once, light on memorable scenes, standard last man standing tournament movie, set in the wild west, staring a load of relatively unknown at the time but huge now actors being directed by Sam Raimi and all of his traditional touches.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">I'd recommend you watch this movie, but I would be in no rush to watch it again with you.</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-30873475484550623642011-06-30T13:04:00.000-07:002011-06-30T13:04:46.250-07:00A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 - Scream if you wanna go Faster<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilPUh8QKxjFao-jXOFoB4oD8XhPcox6sScmV9h_5ZU55on2nS4el32OqIdu_I8B1i1-S83lSBdb_UQXb0WsQ8VHL3ViirxA4H7_em_4NoiLy7sKThuhG_gXahwaFf48KxCytV9SOdxHWSo/s1600/freddy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilPUh8QKxjFao-jXOFoB4oD8XhPcox6sScmV9h_5ZU55on2nS4el32OqIdu_I8B1i1-S83lSBdb_UQXb0WsQ8VHL3ViirxA4H7_em_4NoiLy7sKThuhG_gXahwaFf48KxCytV9SOdxHWSo/s400/freddy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">A perfectly acceptable attempt at making a totally unnecessary and pointless movie. The original Nightmare movie is a perfect blend of gore and scares and over the top bad guy. That's why it works. That's why people love it and that's why Freddy is such an Iconic anti hero. The franchise both followed and established the rules for such movies.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This re imagining bullshit movie forgets all that and dishes out a big steaming turd affair. You can't side with the kids (you never can in a slasher, they're just fodder), and you can't side with Freddy. No, not only because he isn't played by the Brilliant and maniacal <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000387/">Robert Englund</a> but because they keep ramming it down your throat about him being a Paedo. Way to completely miss the point.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Don't waste your time on this and watch the original instead. It hasn't dated.</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-48973752038747310502011-06-30T12:20:00.000-07:002011-06-30T12:20:54.566-07:00The Human Centipede - There is no 'I' in Shit.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVGDsAAcY1TZRRTJRmAGmi4OkUZwJpfpNnJv7FN4i2tUElFZ83UIJMrCCKMc87AZrOo9pUd0xBp3jft_Vu_V4GBTS-Pt273IIYs5yQqgn51X7P96W0l8g9eNVaeeT0kyeFugqPISSk2g-0/s1600/human.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVGDsAAcY1TZRRTJRmAGmi4OkUZwJpfpNnJv7FN4i2tUElFZ83UIJMrCCKMc87AZrOo9pUd0xBp3jft_Vu_V4GBTS-Pt273IIYs5yQqgn51X7P96W0l8g9eNVaeeT0kyeFugqPISSk2g-0/s400/human.jpg" width="271" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Don't watch it. I know you want to, but don't. I didn't want to, but I did. I wish I hadn't and I only got to the bit when the Japanese bloke needed a shit.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The only menacing thing about this film aside from the writer/director, is the German scientist. But his whole ideology is flawed. He just seems obsessed with Human digestion, he can't stop talking about it. Even to the point that his first experiment involved his two dogs. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And that's the biggest flaw of all, cos everyone knows that you don't have to go to such ridiculous lengths to make a dog eat their own shit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">I don't really get the POTC movies. The first one was great, but the following two were just ....... there. Pirates 4 is in the same bracket as the other sequels. It's good to watch but will (and already has a day later) just blur into the rest. Leaving you to think "what one did that happen in?"</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Much like Harry Potter films, they are all the same. Lots of double crossing pirates, stiff upper lip British, a treasure (of which the viewer is unsure what it is even when they find it and also totally unsure of who really wanted it), Jack's crazy walk and chat and an ending to lead to another movie.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The only thing that makes you go "Wow!!!" in this chapter is finding out that the missing Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom are really quite important to help these movies flow. Go Figure?</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">That said, I do love a good Pirate outing :) </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Question - This quartet of Pirate movies is now an ass numbing 599 minutes. How many more sequels are on the horizon given the money they make??, But more importantly, why the hell do they have to be so long? I fear if Bruckheimer get's his mate Michael Bay to direct the next one that, awesomely ridiculous though it could be, I may die trying to watch to the end.</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-45645380805294824852011-06-02T13:06:00.000-07:002011-06-02T13:06:09.327-07:00A Perfect Getaway - Bully's Special Prize<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8asY7iSZek_bumUGTW7321dWFe4bmJL2EkBFI-cQmC2VLeFoPefhaYlxUyLkIsgqkczlexDw8n38BPleDXtrapLu-76h6nQnNugC3ONg3_D8XejmPeERvmdEzXQe4txe7Ajrk8W3aq6G/s1600/perfect_getaway_ver3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo8asY7iSZek_bumUGTW7321dWFe4bmJL2EkBFI-cQmC2VLeFoPefhaYlxUyLkIsgqkczlexDw8n38BPleDXtrapLu-76h6nQnNugC3ONg3_D8XejmPeERvmdEzXQe4txe7Ajrk8W3aq6G/s320/perfect_getaway_ver3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">A less offensive Natural Born Killers or a straight played Club Dread. Nothing more than a watch once thriller that I hoped was a horror. Saved from the depths by the brilliant and fast becoming my favourite actor, Timothy Olyphant along with a great island setting.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Nothing really happens for the first half and only Olyphants ramblings keep you gripped, and on first watch you are expecting a lot more than you get. But then I suppose that's all that it needs to do. </div><br />

1. It's a Cold War political statement<br />
2. There's a fantastic montage<br />
3. It's one long pop video<br />
4. They realised who their audience is<br />
5. Adrian confined to Angelically looking down and just going "Meh!" every so often<br />
6. It's better than III<br />
7. Horrendously dated technology on show<br />
8. It's shit but now it knows it<br />
9. Not as gay<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Rocky III was the film I missed as a kid. Therefore I can hold no biased love for the movie......</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">This is where the franchise becomes nothing more than that. Not so once a remake as a rehash this time. But everything is aped to the nth degree. It's more stupid, it's more gay. It tries to follow the set formula laid down for all future Rocky movies, but it has no heart. It's got more far too many of the famous Rocky Montage scenes and it's sooooo gay. If it hadn't taken itself so seriously it may have worked.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

No Point.</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-89845257440943090582011-04-27T12:56:00.000-07:002011-04-27T12:56:52.575-07:00Rocky II - He lied about the rematch<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5cIbTEHMyt2TERQmWsyjtgvVLpYGKWNEPtSJoX1D5dG8FeQaR-wNXQdfWkMpztRWBrs8vZ6AzYWglFJ2UVH_DBMDgBZKmTk95KLi1AH6n-KjM9Sq6HpnIYyjkM_-rxJjWm8rJE_6BXsVQ/s1600/rocky2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5cIbTEHMyt2TERQmWsyjtgvVLpYGKWNEPtSJoX1D5dG8FeQaR-wNXQdfWkMpztRWBrs8vZ6AzYWglFJ2UVH_DBMDgBZKmTk95KLi1AH6n-KjM9Sq6HpnIYyjkM_-rxJjWm8rJE_6BXsVQ/s400/rocky2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Rocky II is not so much a rematch but a remake, a bit like the way Evil Dead 2 was a remake of Evil Dead. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The action picks up from the end of the first one (as will further sequels) and then the story just repeats itself. Instead of Rocky being a washed up bum, he's a retired one off super star who vows never to box again. He still can't earn money. Adrian is still whiny. Paulie is still a dick. And Apollo Creed is still overly frustrated with everything. Cue the Rematch.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, none of this is bad as Rocky vs Apollo is the fight to watch, and the music still kicks ass and inspires you with every watch.</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5121615418897495848.post-11741654442887304072011-04-06T10:48:00.000-07:002011-04-06T10:48:03.354-07:00Rocky - He doesn't know it's a damn show!

<div style="text-align: justify;">Great Acting, Great fight scenes, Great score, Great Movie.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Rocky is simply fantastic. How can you not be inspired when that theme kicks in, when he trades punches with Apollo Creed and when he runs up the steps of The Philly Museum of Art. An awe inspiring Sports movie to be watched by all.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">They're ain't gonna be no rematch...</div>Zombiestyledhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12441935052128617802noreply@blogger.com0
