The Fades (2011)
More Story Less FX
Well I have to say I loved it...and for the exact reason that there is more of a story to be told instead of holes in a story being filled up and/or hidden behind millions of dollars of CGI and other SPECIAL effects. While yes I will agree that perhaps the first episode was a bit slow at first but then I have found that to be true with some really good books as well as movies. For me..there were just enough effects to make this series special and I hope they keep it going by doing a second season. I'm an American living in the Netherlands and I watch a lot of British T.V. as well as Dutch and in the last few years having the opportunity to watch more movies and shows made in the U.K. I think many of what comes out of the U.K. is fresh and down to earth...no matter what the genre. The American market proves it yearly with all the programs that they copy for British television and import it to America and make it nothing like the original.
Death Ride (2006)
It must be Thanksgiving right now....
...because this is the biggest turkey i have ever seen in my life. This doesn't even hit the heights of the old b horror movies from the 50's...come to think of it, it doesn't even rate as high as the Z movies from that era. The plot was one of the weakest i have ever seen. The acting didn't just stink, it reeked of the worst sewage to the power of 10. The only good acting was of the corpse, and i am sure that most of the time that was a dummy. The special effects were non existent, and the most expensive thing i can see they spent out of the budget was perhaps for the rental cars they may have used. Let me save you time and money..don't go see this. You will never have those 90 odd minutes back, and there are far greater things you could do with your time, like cleaning out the kitty litter box, having a root canal for fun, or how about plucking nose hairs? Any of these will be far more gratifying than seeing this bomb. This movie isn't even worth seeing for free.
I think it's a shame that there isn't a minus rating on here because it would have gotten the highest (or is that lowest) minus rating i could give it.
Actually..i would tell you all what i really think of this movie if it weren't for the fact that what i would have to say would get the post deleted.
