The Infernal Machine (2022)
Waited for something to happen but went nowhere
No doubt there was good acting, but the film as a whole was a complete flop. It was very boring...I kept waiting for something to happen. Throughout the entire movie I waited and then just a bit happened in the end which was not at all satisfying.
This movie was definitely not a thriller, there was very little that moved the film on. I regret the time spent watching such a boring, dull film. It could have been good, it did have potential but was wasted unfortunately. Guy Pearce made a good performance but it wasn't enough to carry the film. Sometimes the best part of a movie is it's trailer, sadly it was for this film.
The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020)
Melodrama for pre-tweens
Bad acting, really bad writing and boring as heck! I thought at least some zombies might be entertaining but fail on that too. They are harmless, just push them and they fall. And whoever thought of calling them 'empties'? I think the actors and writers and producers are the empty ones.
The Mandalorian (2019)
So good, and without useless childlike humour!!
I enjoyed the first season immensely, it was far better than I could have ever imagined. This is the real Star Wars. Lately I have tired from silly comedy/humour that is in other action/sci fi films of late. Not The Mandalorian, thank goodness it feels more like adult entertainment. Can't wait for season 2!!
The Lighthouse (2019)
Great acting but....
Both actors demonstrated excellent acting; in a way I saw it as a play rather than a feature film. Aside from the acting, the movie was boring, difficult to understand (was there anything to understand?) and confusing. I enjoy psychological thrillers, but this was not even near that. The ending gave no answers....a movie that has no proper ending or even a hint of an ending is not worth watching. Having said that, I do not recommend this movie, for me it was a waste of time.
A Prayer Before Dawn (2017)
Too long...somewhat boring
While this was a good movie, with good acting and directing, I found the entire experience to be painfully slow. Not really what I was expecting at all (in relation to title description). I kept waiting and waiting for something to happen. Not much did actually. Disappointing ending. Watch something else that you won't feel was a wasted 2 hours.
The Place Beyond the Pines (2012)
Two movies in one?
I turned off this movie before it finished. Completely lost interest. I thought it was about Ryan Gossling's character but then it moved to a different character. It was shortly after I lost complete interest. Really seemed like two movies in one, with completely different plots. Don't waste your time on this, not sure why it deserved some good ratings.
I gave it 2 stars for acting. It's not often I turn off a movie before it finishes, even some B movies...I watch til the end. Do yourself a favour and don't watch it. Boring and not entertaining at all.
The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)
Don't believe the low reviews!
Don't let the other negative reviews prevent you from watching this, make up your own mind! As an avid sci fi fan, I really enjoyed this film. No, it wasn't well linked to "Cloverfield", but each movie has been entirely different than it's predecessor. Considering the low budget, the film really made the best of it. Great acting, coherent story and decent special fx.
I wasn't expecting too much going into this movie so I was pleasantly surprised. For the most part kept me on the edge of my seat.
Braven (2018)
It's OK
But not that great. Not much character development at all. All one does really is root for the 'good' guy. Somewhat entertaining, but disappointing. Could have been alot better.
The Neighbor (2017)
Boring, slow, uninteresting
Aside from some decent acting, this movie was a wash. Pace was soooo slow. Plot was uninteresting. I kept waiting for something to happen. I should have turned it off then, but I watched til the end and wasted my time. I cannot say enough how boring and just a complete waste of time this movie was.
The Last Man on Earth (2015)
My kind of humour!
I don't watch many comedies, sitcoms I can't stand (except for Seinfeld), and silly mindless comedy movies. To me, a waste of time. However I've started watching this, and after several episodes I must say it's very enjoyable.
The characters are likeable and well acted. The humour is...'adult', if that makes sense. Not like phony sitcoms that I never laugh at. This show has me laughing...I just cant' help it! See for yourself, this one is a gem.
Day of the Dead: Bloodline (2017)
Utterly disappointing
This has to be the worst 'zombie' movie ever made. Horrid script, terrible acting, barely any plot, awkward and juvenile.
It's like a bunch of secondary students got together after school and made this so called movie as part of their drama class. It's that bad. There are some good B movies out there...even with low budgets, but this was not just a waste of time, but an ugly film in every way.
The Mountain Between Us (2017)
Entertaining
This movie is worth your time, however it's not one of those really great films either. I enjoyed the entire movie, even though some parts in the middle were a bit slow.
The scenery was spectacular and very well shot. Acting was good, story - good. As some have said, the very ending is somewhat predictable though it didn't bother me, I was rooting for them! I recommend this film, just don't expect constant thrills and tension as some survival movies have. This one had a good balance of drama, the will to survive and again, great cinematography.
6 Below: Miracle on the Mountain (2017)
A great (true) story on hitting bottom
This is not a big Hollywood budget film. But there are many stories out there that don't need special effects etc. to tell a great story. I could relate to Eric's story; his childhood, his young adult life. His addiction. It was only in 'never quitting' that he continued to fight each day to live.
In those 7 days, he truly hit bottom, took stock of his life and found what mattered most. In the end he faced his inner demons and was finally at peace.
This is a great story of survival in the literal and ethereal sense. Inspirational and compelling. I was rooting for Eric, not just for his survival but for his redemption.
The Recall (2017)
I've never written a review before, but felt a warning was needed
This is the absolute worst movie I have ever, ever watched! I enjoy a variety of genres including sci fi and yes, I even enjoy some low budget B movies. This felt like a 10 year old wrote the script. Horrible. Garbage. Complete waste of time. Even in the 'not very good' movies, I can find something that was worth the watch. Not with this one. So heed my warning and don't waste your time.
