The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)
Wasn't expecting much but quite impressed :)
Was hearing good things about this until my mum watched it and said it wasn't the best.
Finally put it on tonight and was surprised at how much i liked it.
Cast were great and it was deadly to see chris walley from the young offenders in it. Wee irish lad like meself. Always good to see irish actors getting put into big budget films from abroad and doing well. Also praise for woody norman (toby) who's a great little actor. He was also really good in cobweb.
Dracula is near enough the same design in every film but still the cgi wasn't as bad i thought it would have been.
Some gore and blood here and there but not really scary but still intense in some scenes.
Story was ok but slow paced at times.
Overall is wasn't a bad film and shocked at some of the bad reviews on here. People shouldn't expect a masterpiece but Its a good popcorn flick.
Watch and judge for yourself.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)
Great movie with some flaws
Good points..
Andrew garfield is awesome and nails spidey in my opinion. He has spideys witty sense of humor that was missing from the raimi films, he has charm and charisma. So glad he got his third outting finally in spiderman: no way home. He deserved it and more.
Swinging
This film has the best spidey swings around new york than any other spidey film. The cgi was so much better then previous films especially the time square fight.
Sounds effects and cinematography were awesome too. The soundtrack to the film was pretty good too although i enjoyed james horners one from the first film better.
Dane dehann was great as harry but needed a little more screen time i felt.
Emma stone is always great and her death scene always gets to me when i rewatch it.
Bad points
I hated Jamie foxx as electro this film. He did a much better job at portraying him in no way home. Maybe the poor script didnt help him in this one. The over the top blue skin and leather suit just didn't suit the character either i thought.
The script.... they did a spiderman 3 job ( which they didnt learn from ) and added three bad guys in this. This just didnt work again due to them not getting enough developement in the film. Rhino is barely in it except for beginning and end, electro isnt given enough time either and is poorly portrayed and goblin is only near the end. 1 main villain and a set up villain near the end would have done. I know they were setting this up for the cancelled sinister six film but 3 villains are never neccessary. No way home worked because the villains had already been on screen in other adaptions and didnt need fleshing out again. And apparently the script was changed so much due to studio and producer Interference. Why can't they ever let the director have his vision of a film without butting in. Id love to see a director cut of it.
This film has its flaws yes but its also has some great quality action, acting and scenes too. Don't listen to bad reviews watch the film yourself and make up your own mind :)
i gave it 8 out of 10 stars. Dropped two stars due to there being two many villains and the script.
A Haunting (2005)
Brilliantly creepy
Been watching A haunting since it first aired. Every season has been great but i Wish they would bring back the creepy music they had before and after each break like they had in the earlier seasons. Adds a bit more of an eeery feeling to each episode. Anthony call does a great job of narrating the series.
Hope it continues for a long time. Easily the best hauting programme going.
