Prey (2022)
FILM OF THE YEAR...SO FAR
The franchise has produced fair to decent films(apart from the AVP spin offs).
This film is by miles the best ever Predator film & it's unique perspective only adds to it's glory.
Storyline is amazing.
Cinematography is stunning.
VFX are incredible...the Predator & the plains creatures are amazing ( the bear is something else).
Acting of unknowns is terrific.
But the star of the show ....the dog.
Watch it,be amazed...it won't win Oscars but it's the film of 2022 so far by miles.
It Follows (2014)
Mmm...ok in an uncomfortable way
The lead actress is good. The rest of the cast are woeful.
The story borders on uncomfortable but I'll let the viewer decide why.
It works as a horror in a strange way seeing as there isn't too much horror.
I think it's overrated which is disappointing but this is a premise that could have been much more entertaining but it's shot rather bleakly which adds nothing to the film.
The Guest (2014)
Great for an hour
Really is a film in 2 parts...the first hour is excellent.
The last 40 minutes showed us the writers got bored and went into generic mode.
Stevens,as always,was very good & the rest of cast were solid.
The premise was intriguing until it went into silly(the Halloween school grotto)...say no more.
Very watchable though.
The Gray Man (2022)
Gosling shine but Evans not so much
Let's get one thing straight...this is a good way to spend 2 hours out of your day but there does come a warning...Chris Evans is totally miscast but the film is still decent.
Gosling plays Gosling but is always watchable & the storyline is decent enough.
A franchise is born?..I have doubts ...but if there is a next time..get your main villain cast right.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Better than they say
Enjoy the ride...very good addition to the franchise...being panned by people who don't get it...highly recommend with a big box of popcorn. The back story has pathos if slightly wacky but the dinosaurs are everywhere and that's what it's all about surely.
La Révolution (2020)
Story,Scary,Soundtrack
3 reasons to watch:-
1) STORY-Fast paced,well edited,horror-fiction
2) Scary-Like the premise of action & scares
3) Soundtrack-Tremendous music accompanies every episode
REMEMBER-Its not based on fact...so enjoy what it is.
The Umbrella Academy (2019)
Ultimate Superhero TV Series that just gets better & better
This is how it's done.Will win every Emmy it is put up for.Game of Thrones successor.We live in a wonderful time for TV
La Mante (2017)
FORMIDABLÈ
Superb French serial killer series.Actors are excellent and story is strong.I have to say I guessed the copycat killer by episode 3 but that didn't spoil the series.The denouement is satisfying and overall I fully recommend so catch it on Netflix.
The Meg (2018)
First time review
The Meg is a popcorn movie that could have been SO much better.Obviously the final cut was aimed at a younger audience whereas the film would have been so much better if blood & gore got added...it is a shark film after all!It was too jokey & while the acting was Ok,Pippin the Dog gets best actor nod.All in all a bit disappointing & should have been much more violent
