The Menu (2022)
Variation/remake of THEATER OF BLOOD
The arc of this story is VERY similar to THEATER OF BLOOD though not a direct remake.
But THEATER is a lot more fun with the great performances of Vincent Price & Diana Rigg. So, I can only give MENU an average rating of 5.
Price & Rigg create far more interesting characters than in MENU. And the supporting cast are wonderful to watch as they experience their fates from Price & Rigg.
MENU is not bad; it just doesn't live up to the fun characters in THEATER.
MENU has its numerous cooks working for chef; THEATER has an even more entertaining troupe acting on behalf of Price & Rigg.
Sure, do see MENU but then watch THEATER for an even more fun experience with a very parallel story.
Voyagers (2021)
100% waste of production $$$$
There are few things worse than watching an utter waste of movie production funds.
I had that experience seeing the movie VOYAGERS (2021).
It's basically LORD OF THE FLIES in space. Nothing about this story or characters improves on LotF.
There is only one set design - narrow hallways of the space craft where the characters chase one another through to kill other characters. That's the whole plot.
And we've seen the final battle sequence in the movie ALIENS.
I rated this 1/10 at imdb-com.
100% waste of production $$$$.
The Wind in the Willows (1983)
Gold standard version
This is easily the gold standard adaptation of the novel even when they go beyond the novel's storyline. This deserves to be available on streaming services.
Great animation and voice acting - perfection.
The Green Inferno (2013)
Full-tilt racist butcher fest
There's little more to say than Roth makes his n-th butcher flick with a huge dollop of overt racism.
Roth has no imagination whatsoever.
