ATM is actually a pretty good horror movie. It focuses more on suspense than blood and gore, which I appreciate, and it maintains a sense of realism throughout. Yes, it is fairly contrived and yes, the ending is unsatisfying, but the movie, as a whole, does a good job of creating tension. Plus, each member of the small cast gives an excellent performance. I'd watch this one again.
I didn't go into his film with much vigor, I'm not a personal fan of the Robin Hood character, and I was only interested in it because Hugh Jackman is in it. Have to say though I'm surprised at how good the film was, it definitely has problems, the violence can be exploitive, the film is a slow burn with only bits of action thrown in and the performances are great to bad, and though it looks gorgeous, it's dark tone and mature themes maybe hard to deal with, but if you can accept the darker tone and there are definitely bits of brilliance here and even the music sets the mood, isn't bad for a film, a little over a couple of hours and it wasn't bad at all!!
The Death of Robin Hood
Mr Bigstuff
I love both Ryan Sampson and Danny Dyer so thought this would be good. The first episode was certainly different but the more you watch, the more you are drawn in. It's definitely not for everyone but if like me you enjoy a giggle, are not easily offended and have no issue with swearing (and the c-word) then seriously give this a go. Not only humorous, it does get a bit deep at times. The actors play the parts well and Sampson and Dyer are an unlikely combination, but it works really well... a modern Del Boy and Rodney 😀 Although it is a six parter, be prepared that you may want to binge it... I did!
Killer robots, vector computer graphics, synthesizer soundtrack, cops, a little romance, a somewhat awkward script, bad acting, a bunch of well-known 80s actors and a lot of cheesiness. It doesn't get much more classic than this.
There are gigantic plot holes and some of the robots are downright silly, but the amount of clichés is what makes it fun to watch.
Runaway
Deep Sea
This film is really amazing, and not just because of the 3-D. The underwater cinematography was absolutely brilliant. This Imax movie shows many odd creatures and the way they live. The 3-D in this thing is really amazing. The fish look like their right in front of your face and normal size. And the great thing about this film is that even without the 3-D, it's still an excellent documentary on the fascinating life found in the sea. The narration was really interestingly written and performed (with Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet switching off). The sound effects were great and the wonderful musical score from Danny Elfman fit so well. If you want to see life underwater without actually getting near the creatures, this is about the closest you will come.
The humour is very full on and go as far as it can go. When you think the jokes goes to the top they some how bring it a notches up! It is very well played and written with some a very emotionally intelligent parts.
But be aware, you need to have a very open mind and spirit to enjoy this movie. Definitely worth a watch.
