It is rare that I read a whole book that doesn't capture my attention in the first few chapters, but sometimes something is so bad that I just have to see it through. This book is one of those. Anyone who knows me, will know I have a passion for appalling horror films, simply because... Continue Reading →
Ecce Humo – the infamous botch job.
If you are a long time reader of my blog, you may be wondering why I have decided to post this travesty to the art world on here. I mean, it's a poor restoration job, not pleasing to the eye and frankly I think my next door neighbours cat could have probably done a better... Continue Reading →
Suburbicon
It's so easy to make life look perfect from the outside, especially in Suburicon, sadly this film delivered a less than perfect viewing experience and had even less entertainment value. I always find the Coen brother's films a bit samey. With contrite plot twists and kitch cinematography, and then we see George Clooney throwing his... Continue Reading →
Justice League
I am a Marvel girl through and through. Nothing has brought this home more than spending two hours of my life watching the impoverish efforts of six DC heroes, well 5 apparent heroes and one guy with a lot of money. Many, many franchises have followed the adventures of Batman and Superman and we have... Continue Reading →
The Double Life of Veronique
Don't you hate it when you settle down to watch a film which has had great reviews, only to find it is terrible? It's the worst, as you watch the gibberish of a story line unfold to no high point. This film is one of those. Views who felt compelled to comment on IMDB about... Continue Reading →
Nailbiter
Sometime there are films that are so bad that they swing back around again to good, simply because they miss the mark of what they are intended for so dramatically. I love films like that, and this just happens to be one of those. This is a real work of cinematic genius, if you like... Continue Reading →
The Wicker Man
It’s been a while since I’ve written a post about the actor I love to hate. Yes it’s old potato face, Nicholas Cage. As if the original of this film, with its all star cast of Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland and Christopher Lee wasn’t weird enough, it was felt that this needed a revamp in... Continue Reading →
Left Behind
I despise Nicholas Cage, with a passion, I only watched the remake of "The Wicker Man" to watch him get ceremonially torched. I will say he was ok in "Con Air" and "8mm" as his emotionless acting suited the roles, but now he appears to have made a career in being like a plank of... Continue Reading →
Pirates of the Caribbean 5
When I was a kid I was desperate to be either a unicorn, a mermaid, or a Pirate. So when the POTC franchise started up I was extatic. I loved the first few films and even fully enjoyed number 4. So where did it all go so wrong??? I don't know where to start with... Continue Reading →
Dr. Strange
I openly admit I am a geek, but I seriously struggled to get on board with this mishmash of a film. Firstly, I am going to air my disappointment with Mads Mikkelsen....why! Why did you do this film Mads?? I thought we had a thing going after the series of Hannibal, why would you let... Continue Reading →
Pegasus Vs. Chimera
Remember Jason and the Argonauts? Maybe you loved The thief of Baghdad....or maybe Sinbad and the eye of the tiger...this is like the Z movie version of one of these films. The film poster looks exciting doesn't it? Mythical creatures and the Greeks defending their honour, but and it's a big but, the film doesn't... Continue Reading →
Strange Blood
This. Is. Terrible. That is how the line would be delievered if I was an actor in this film. It's a bit like they all graduated from the William Shatner school of over acting and drawn out speeches. So... mad scientist is developing a cure for everything... yes everything! He appears to be working in... Continue Reading →
The Secrets of Emily Blair
Now... before I write this one, there is something you guys should know about me... I love really shite films. I love watching them and talking to them as I watch them, wondering why the director bothered to get up in the morning while working on this, or if the actors felt that this was... Continue Reading →
