The Hunt (2020)
Am not one to like a B movie out of pity for it's budget etc
Review Heading aside, even B movies have a tier system, and the worst B movie is a LOT worse than best B movie-This i class as the latter, as it's obviously a B movie, but a very good one. Story is basically the original Hunger games theme in as much as group of people made to take part in a survival of fittest scenerio, however it has a decent story, well executed, nicely filmed, and the occasional B movie dialogue aside well acted and well choreographed action scenes.
The lead role was excellently played albeit with a tiny bit too much humour for my liking, but not so much as to spoil the film since it was obviously made to be a bit silly and comical without spoiling the drama that the storyline entails.
Much recommended if like action films that do not take their selves too seriously (die hard-esque) and only reason i stopped at ratiing it an 8 not higher was to do so would mean it was not a B movie at all to score higher.
As for my innitial mini rant about B movies being given high scores just because it's low budget and people seem to like giving bad low end films good ratings to help them out, that's not me-any film B or not if its good i will say so, but if it's bad i don't care if was made by a 3rd world blind transexual albino with a speach impediment who fought in the gulf war etc etc-if it's bad,i will say so, and this film is not bad, it's actually very good :)
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (2024)
Brings back the love of the series
TBH much as loved the TWD series, by its end i was like many feeling it had gone stale. I still wanted to watch it, but since grimes had gone it was a downward spiral of same old same old and was feeling abit bored by it all, watching in a vain hope that it would improve but not really expecting it to-then along came the ones who lived and i fell in love with the series all over again.(something the knock off series about Dixon, FTWD etc did not do much as wantted them to)
It's a bit of a stretch to think how Grimes stayed alive after so many escape attempts, but putting that aside as a neccessary plot requirement episode one was action packed, informative, bought the audience upto speed in what had gone before and explained why Grimes did what he did and became who he is, and although i am sure next episode will probably ignore him and concentrate on what michonne has done in the yrs we have not already witnessed, I am once again looking forward to this extension of the series, though a little sad that once its ended so has TWD series i have regained my love of solely due to the ones who lived series.
Avengement (2019)
Best movie i seen adkins in, and i seen a lot of his stuff
Seen most of Adkins's movies, seemed to have missed this one till 2023 which is strange as it's the best one i ever seen him in. Granted it's full of nobodies upto B grade actors in it as usual, and the over all acting and dialogue/direction are although better than his usual are not great, but that said it was a decent premis for a movie, the action sequences better than his films usual fayre, and over all a very enjoyable film considering he's the main character and gives me hope that he may still have a chance at breaking into a decent role one day instead of the drivel he tends to get-would definately reccomend if this the sort of film like to watch, as i recckon it's the best i seen him in and actually enjoyed it a lot.
Air Force One Down (2024)
If Hallmark made an action movie, it be like this
The premis is not new, the actors are not either,but they may as well be if they decided this film was a good career move. I must admit i knew none of the actors, but then i do not watch channels like Hallmark as its content does not appeal, but what i have seen of the Hallmark channel is enough to think that this film had to scrape bottom of barrel and borrow a producer from them to make this drivel as no one else wanted to. If bored and want to watch a rehash of a potential good ripoff of a film done better elsewhere then tbh it is not That bad (hence slightly above 5 stars given), but it is bad all the same. Dialogue is corny, premis has potential but script is boring, and the little or unknown to me actors altho do an ok job considering what they have to work with overall are not A list,and in some cases not even D listers,and their acting innability keeps shining thru more often than i would like-watch if very bored, but do not expecxt much and you will not be too dissapointed.
