A wickedly funny moral minefield. Strong performances and a clever shift in who you're rooting for turn a far-fetched premise into something uncomfortably believable. A cracking little film that leaves you questioning exactly where your own moral boundaries lie.
I saw this when it first came out and really enjoyed it. I was just a little kid at the time, but I enjoyed the story and actors work. I just watched it again recently and have to admit, it's dated, the FX are horrible, BUT I still enjoyed the performances and story.
If you're not a fan of the cast and can't get past really bad "special" effects, then you'll probably hate it. But if you like any of the cast, and watch it for their performances and a kinda cheesy story, you'll probably find it entertaining.
The cast is the only reason for really watching this movie.
🏔️Well done showing real story. The characters fit the role. It kept exciting from beginning to the end and no boring scenes. They shooting could be better as the movie deserved better production. It's made us excited to know more about the mount history and what really happened there. Hope we see more of such movie.
The writing of this movie was terrible, maybe some of the worst ive seen. None of the characters motivations, their lines are annoying and the plot contrived.
With the acting i dont doubt that its some of the worst ive ever seen it. Some of the line deliveries by the main actress match that of Tommy in The Room.
Now some movies are bad but still enjoyable in that badness. This movie not as much. It still made me laugh, but i dont know if it was the movie or the fact that i was going crazy over the fact that i was actually spending time watching it.
This movie is excellent. It is hilarious and has great drama. Kadeem Hardison and Marlon are just as convincing as brothers as Marlon is with his real life brother Shawn on "The Wayans Bros." The acting was great, the comedy was great, and the writing was great. This is the film that made me look at Marlon Wayans as more than just a funny guy, but also as a very talented actor.
When Cole Younger's gang is involved in a robbery-gone-wrong in a town in the Southwest, the lone survivor, Jack Kane (Paul Hogan), acquires a mute newbie partner (Cuba Gooding Jr.). He wants to make one last big score before moving to New York with his saloon lass (Beverly D'Angelo).
"Lightning Jack" (1994) is an amusing Western starring Hogan, but it's not an all-out comedy like, say, "Blazing Saddles." Ball-park comparisons include "The War Wagon," "Sam Whiskey," "Something Big," "Cattle Annie and Little Britches," "Maverick" and "The Lone Ranger." "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" is another, but that one's a little more serious.
While not great and relatively slow-moving, the locations are excellent and the developing relationship of the antiheros is entertaining. Beverly is another highlight.
While the opening bank job is similar to the doomed 1876 real-life raid in Northfield, Minnesota, Cole Younger was only wounded and ended up in prison in which he worked on a newspaper as a printer's devil. He was paroled in 1901 and ended up writing a memoir, lecturing and touring in a wild west show with Frank James. A couple of years before his death in 1915, he became a believer and repented of his criminal past. By contrast, Cole's brother, Jim, was paroled with him in 1901, but couldn't adjust and so committed suicide fifteen months later in a hotel room in Saint Paul.
At the end of the day, if you liked the Crocodile Dundee flicks, you'll probably appreciate this.
The film runs 1 hour, 37 minutes, and was shot in Santa Fe; Tucson and Page, Arizona; Moab, Utah; and Colorado; with some interiors filmed in the studio on the Gold Coast, Australia.
I held out hope for this on the basis of the two lead actors. They were fine and the plot hinted at some depth and history that would have been interesting to explore. We were just expected to recognise they were the good guys without much evidence of such which made me uneasy and suspicious as events developed.
The support actors were very poor, in particular the damsel in distress who weirdly switched from high emotion to emotionless at a word which was jarring and inauthentic. The plot was fine and predictable.
The lack of emotion to events at the end was odd but the portrayal of some OCD hand washing spoke of a deeper trauma we never got to explore further. This would have helped us connect more with them and care what happened. It's been done better before and I was sad to see Denis Quaid reduced to this.
🐺🚇 We've probably all seen plenty of werewolf movies, but in my opinion, Howl is among the better ones. The creatures look refreshingly different while still retaining all the classic elements of a werewolf. Additionally, these werewolves have distinctive characteristics that set them apart from the traditional bloodthirsty monsters we're used to seeing in horror films.
The storyline is simple: a night train breaks down in the middle of a forest, and soon, werewolves begin attacking the passengers. There's a hint in the movie that these creatures inhabit this part of the forest and have attacked trains before. However, what makes this film particularly engaging is the group of passengers. Their dynamics, relationships, and explosive confrontations with each other drive the story forward.
The acting is solid across the board, and the werewolves look convincingly menacing. While there are some logical gaps in the story and a few frustrating decisions made by the characters, the plot moves along smoothly. The film strikes a good balance between showing some humans as helpless prey while others fight back with relentless determination.
Overall, Howl is a well-executed werewolf movie that delivers plenty of action and suspense.
Watching Ghostwatch as a 10-year-old, I genuinely didn't know if it was real. A perfect storm of familiar BBC faces, convincing effects and an audience completely unprepared for what was coming. A genuine cultural moment in British television that's never really been replicated.
Crystal Lake has a lot of potential to bring the 🔪Friday the 13th franchise back to life. I'm really interested in seeing how the series explores the history of Camp Crystal Lake and builds up the atmosphere that made the original movies so iconic. Hopefully, it focuses on genuine horror, a strong story, and memorable kills rather than relying on nostalgia alone. If they get Jason right and capture that classic Friday the 13th feeling, this could be something special for longtime fans.

Buddy is a surreal horror comedy about kids in a world ala Barney The Dinosaur, only problem is Barney is a serial killer. He targets the kids one by one and what seems jolly at first quickly becomes a nightmare.
The film has a lot of really strong moments, and the cast of young actors is terrific. The movie blessedly doesn't stay in the jolly nightmare of Buddy forever, as it also veers into the real world where we meet people who are victims of this bizarre unicorn Buddy.
Not everything in this movie is explained or makes sense, and it doesn't have too. The film is pretty funny with a mostly strong script. It never bores and it mostly entertains. The characters journeys are easy to follow throughout, and I found myself liking all the characters, including Buddy himself.
There are one or two issues I had with the script in the second and third act I wish they had done differently, but in general this was a well made twisted weird little gem of a horror story.
A bizarre few weeks in 2016 become a gripping documentary about creepy clowns, internet hysteria and idiots desperate for attention. Unsettling, surprisingly tragic and a refreshing alternative to your usual Halloween horror.
Normally I don't care for chick flicks, but I can't seem to stop watching this one over and over again. I was surprised that so many others didn't care for it. I just loved the sets, the costumes, the women and their relationships, the real magic in the film, the special effects, the child actresses. This was stuff that women could relate to better than men. Aidan Quinn was the only boring part of the movie. I wished they'd chosen an actor who was more into the role. He seemed bored and made his part in the film more boring. (Also, he mumbles. Someone should give him elocution lessons.)
This movie wasn't meant to be heavy. It was meant to be light, fun fluff, and that it is. The characters weren't meant to be deep, but I felt the relationship between the two sisters was deeper and well performed by two skilled actresses. In spite of the fluffiness of it, I enjoyed the two scenes in which we got to sit and relax to the sound of Stevie Nicks' "Crystal." So what if cars weren't crashing and guns weren't shooting. They weren't supposed to be. I felt the camaraderie of the moment as the two sisters and their aunts got drunk on "midnight margaritas" while dancing to Harry Nilsson's "Lime in the Coconut." It was just plain light fun. Also, women can enjoy the vicarious satisfaction of watching these women destroy the evil, bullying man who tries to destroy them.
The end of the film was rather Disney-kiddie-flick-like. Another ending might have worked better, but it was tolerable because it reminded the audience that the film was all in fun, and not to be taken seriously.
I usually prefer deeper films, but I thoroughly enjoyed this piece of fluff. Sure it was silly and campy, but it was fun. A film doesn't have to take itself seriously to be fun. Bullock, Kidman, Channing, and Wiest are beautiful, charming and wonderful to watch in this flick, and I love watching the four of them over and over again.
Models vs. Werewolves is bloody awful, but I kind of admire it. Terrible acting, a rubbish plot and some bizarre AI visuals, yet the technology allows a tiny production to deliver freaky werewolves and buckets of gore. A terrible film, but a fascinating experiment.
It is just a gang of Matchbox Kids who loved collecting the iconic toys and turning their hobby into a social gathering. But life always changes as you get older, even more-so when one of them turns out to be a spy and drags them all into a deadly espionage situation that takes them around the globe. At least the non-spies all have a talent that will come handy in these situations, and the writers do a fun job in setting it up nicely. The fighting scenes with Crena are always spot-on, and the over-the-top action is done to perfection (wouldn't expect anything less from a stunt person turn director). Yes, it is filled with cliches and silliness, but it's these ridiculous things that make this a great high explosive entertaining movie...
Stupid, ridiculous and not in a good way. Fall 2 delivers a parade of terrible decisions, irritating characters and the occasional moment of genuine vertigo. By the end, I wasn’t hoping they’d survive, I was hoping they’d slip so the film would finally be over.
Onslaught feels like the bastard offspring of The Guest and Assault on Precinct 13: pounding synths, unstoppable super-soldiers, glowing eyes and enough lovingly staged badass imagery to make its killers instant genre icons.
