- Ghostbusters: Afterlife
🚫👻 Ghostbusters: Afterlife is so much better than the 2016 Ghostbusters! There is none of that forced, cringeworthy comedy. Instead, it has an engaging story, great performances, and some genuinely touching connections to the original Ghostbusters. It is a rare example of a sequel done right. On top of that, Paul Rudd's natural and believable performance is about 10,000 times better than watching Chris Hemsworth act like an idiot in the 2016 Ghostbusters!Ghostbusters: Afterlife - 200 Degrees
🥵 Be prepared to spend 90 minutes on the edge of your seat. With excellent production, great casting, and a clever but nerve-wrecking plot, 200 Degrees will have you biting your nails on pins and needles. This thriller is chock full of suspense with twists and turns you will NEVER see coming. Balfour and Cochell give excellent deliveries that will have you anxiously sweating bullets and really feeling the heat.200 Degrees - Wishmaster
I somehow really wanted to like 'Wishmaster'. I had such high hopes for the film after the opening sequence with all those jaw-dropping practical effects and make-up guaranteed to make the viewer cringe in horror. Unfortunately, the film just got worse from there. The film revolves around an evil Djinn trapped inside a precious stone. Alexandra (Tammy Lauren) accidentally wakes the Djinn when cleaning the Opal. Although her back story was important for character development, I didn't find the character all that interesting. In fact, neither did I find any of the characters all that interesting. The acting also wasn't all that convincing. The biggest issue I have with the film, is the choice of lead actor: Andrew Divoff as the Djinn. With all due respect to the actor, he simply wasn't the ideal choice for the role. Think what Robert England did for 'Nightmare on Elm Street', or Doug Bradley for 'Hellraiser'. Divoff is too smooth looking to be credible as evil. I suppose they wanted him to be handsome behind a mask of evil, but even that didn't work for me. The film does dish up some good moments, but I wasn't impressed with 'Wishmaster' in general. The narration felt lazy, as did the filmmaking with it's shaky and shattering transitions, which gave the film a cheap look. I can commend the film of some truly crazy effects and visuals, which are definitely the film's highlight. Also note, this is a very brutal and gory movie. In closing, 'Wishmaster' is not entirely bad. Watch it for the gory effects; you might get a kick out of it. Oh, and be careful what you wish for... I wished for this to have been better.Wishmaster - The Dog Stars
A slow moving people based drama set in a post apocalyptic world. This is not an all out action film although plenty of set piece action sequences happen along the way. The Junction scene feels strange and detached from the rest of the movie in a way that almost pulls you out of the narrative. The main character of Hig is thoughtful and emotional and acted impeccably. Most of the performances are top drawer although not sure about anyone in the Junction scene. This is visually stunning with a beautiful score. Its a slow moving people based drama but the 2 hours still passes without noticing. This is not Ridley Scott's best movie but beautiful nonetheless.The Dog Stars - The Boy in Blue
Nick Cage was only 22 when he made this period piece. Chariots of Fire (1981) must have been in the back of his mind. Ned Hanlon was not a big enough name to interest the viewer, and he was a naive young man. But it was a nice, but not remarkable movie. He did build his pecs up for this-- he always gets into his character.The Boy in Blue - Hanky Panky
"Hanky Panky" is a lighthearted comedy that delivers plenty of laughs and fun moments. Directed by Sidney Poitier and starring Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner, the film combines humor with a thrilling storyline that keeps viewers entertained from start to finish. The movie's charm lies in its ability to blend comedy with suspense. Gene Wilder is excellent in the lead role, bringing his signature wit and quirky personality to the screen. His comedic timing is flawless, and he manages to make even the most chaotic situations seem amusing. Gilda Radner is equally delightful, adding warmth and energy to the film with her spirited performance. Together, their chemistry is both natural and enjoyable, making their scenes together a highlight of the movie. The pacing is steady, with enough twists and turns to keep the audience engaged without feeling overwhelmed. The story balances its comedic elements with just the right amount of action, creating a satisfying mix that works well for fans of both genres. Visually, the film makes good use of its locations, adding a sense of adventure to the plot. The score complements the story perfectly, enhancing the mood without overshadowing the humor. While "Hanky Panky" may not be groundbreaking, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for an entertaining movie with likable characters and plenty of laughs. It's light, funny, and easy to watch, making it perfect for a relaxing evening. If you enjoy movies that combine humor with a touch of mystery, "Hanky Panky" is worth checking out. It's a fun ride that showcases the talents of its cast and leaves you smiling by the end.Hanky Panky - Young Frankenstein
If you love comedies, but haven't seen Young Frankenstein, you're in for a delicious treat.After three decades, it still makes people laugh to death, and it's a must-see for every spoof lover in the world. Actually, it's not a parody, but a homage by Mel Brooks to James Whale's classic,shot in black and white on the same location and with the same props. The "hero" is Dr.Frederick Frankenstein(Gene Wilder), who, after a long period in which he hated it, decides to repeat his grandfather's experiment.The result is the Transylvanians want to kill him, despite the fact that the monster is the most harmless creature in the world. This sort of sequel to the original Frankenstein is hilarious from start to finish, mostly because of two actors:Peter Boyle and Martin Feldman.The former is great as the mute creature(he'll compensate that by talking too much in Everybody Loves Raymond), particularly in the scene with Gene Hackman's Blind Man.But it's Feldman's Igor that makes this film unmissable.No wonder, given he's got the best lines("Wait Master.It might be dangerous...you go first"). With no doubt Mel Brooks' masterpiece. The Scary Movie franchise wishes it was this good.Young Frankenstein - Manhunter
With "Hannibal Lecktor" (Brian Cox) now safely behind bars, the traumatised profiler "Graham" (William Petersen) might be looking forward to a well earned-retirement. Thing is, the "Tooth Fairy" has other plans as he embarks on a killing spree that causes his erstwhile FBI boss "Crawford" (Dennis Farina) to seek his help. These murders are truly gruesome with entire families killed, inside their own homes, on nights with a full moon. With the next one of those due very soon, "Graham" has to enlist the help of his former tormentor - whose help is never as straightforward as he might like - to see if they can establish some patterns and preempt more slaughter. Meantime, we are introduced to "Dollarhyde" (Tom Noonan) who's about eight foot tall and maybe not the most stable of photographers we are ever going to meet. It's possible that he might succumb to the more calming influence of the lovingly blind "Reba" (Joan Allen) but with the pressures mounting you wouldn't want to bet on that. Is there a connection? As with Thomas Harris's "Red Dragon" book, the audience is aware of far more than the pursuers and that works well here as we see "Graham" try to work from a blank canvas, and with an insane convict, to track down a man who has left virtually nothing for them to go on. Petersen holds this together quite well and the cleverly cast Cox, well he always comes across as an actor who'd be quite prepared to eat the competition. I found the ending just a little rushed, but the jigsaw is well presented and the jeopardy effectively increased throughout this quite chilling adaptation. Honestly - I didn't much care for the intrusively synthesised score - just a little too much "Miami Vice" for me - but this is a solid and at times quite gripping story of imbalance and mania that I did quite enjoy.Manhunter - Crawlers
