Blacklight (2022)

Don't worry about the poor reviews from people pretending to be film critics
20 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This film is brilliant loved every minute. Liam is the perfect actor for this type of film. It doesn't get much better than this. Plenty of action and a brilliant twist at the end. Fans of the Wanted film will love this. Great plot great story I just loved this film. All the actors play great parts. The two scenarios at the beginning go really well. One planned hit and run and a massive explosion all in the first 10 minutes. Then shortly afterwards a fight scene with the police and this is still just the beginning. Then there is a big car and truck chase. I am a big fan of Liam Neason and 90% of his films are just brilliant and this is one of the good ones.

Ballerina (III) (2023)
10/10
A female Liam Neeson getter her revenge
12 October 2023
What a wonderful film so unexpected. The female lead is brilliant she appears as a fragile girl at the start and end up like a cross between Liam Neeson and John Wick. The fight scenes are quite amazing and there is some very dark humour that made me laugh. She is the perfect storm when she needs to be. The violence is very gory so you will need a strong stomach at times. This just shows how good the Korean film making industry is getting it can certainly show up the Hollywood over hyped films. If you enjoyed the Liam Neeson and John Wick movies you will certainly enjoy this film. The ending is spectacular and this is a film not to be missed.

Shrapnel (2023)
10/10
One of the best shoot em up since the last Rambo move
4 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This film just blew me away I was hooked from the start. How he and his family survived and how he gets his kidnapped daughter back is breathtaking. Definite touch of Liam Neasons Wanted movie. The action was just full on after the intro part of the film. I will definitely watch this again. The shootouts are amazing guy well acted. In the last part of the film when our two hero's go to get the kidnapped daughter it is gory and wonderful. No loose ends and everything ended well. I cannot praise this movie enough it was so unexpectedly good. The one man against the Mexican Cartel at the beginning. It could never be bettered.

Such a brilliant sequel much better than the original.
4 October 2023
For a start the people on here giving low scores must not have seen the same brilliant film that I saw. The idea of mixing ideas from The Abyss, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Moby Dick and Deepstar six was a brilliant move and also the amazing fight scenes. The little dinosaurs that escaped from the trench made it look like Jurassic Park and are a great addition. We even get a giant Octopus like the films from the 1950's. This monster film had everything to keep you on the edge of your seat. The monsters are very well made special effects and looks so real. Jason Statham is a usual an amazing lead character doing what you expect him to do and at one time acting like the captain in Moby Dick when he goes after the Mosasaurs with his explosive harpoons. Ignore the so called critics saying how poor this is just so they can appear cool. Rent it or buy it or see it in the cinema you will not regret it.

What a wonderful movie
23 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I was not expecting much from this movie but was very pleasantly surprised at how good it is. Sadly we lost the leading lady Anne Heche in a car crash in 2022. Such a beautiful lady sadly missed. This is one of those films that the couple start off hating each other and after their rescue from the island they crashed on are in love with each other. The acting by both Anne Heche and Harrison Ford is excellent. I would even let my kids watch this film as it's like an old fashioned Disney film. The pirate attack is very well done and seeing the pirates killed by their own stupidity was wonderful. Don't miss this film if you get a chance to watch it.

Wild Card (2015)
9/10
Great ending to a great film.
17 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I thought this film was brilliant it starts unexpectedly with Jason Statham acting like a bit of a Coward but it's all an act to earn money. The film does have a slow start but it well worth sticking with. There are two great full of action fight scenes with Jason Statham that really look great. Ever watch a guy lose half a million dollars on Black Jack well now you can. The ending fight is amazing. You will need a strong stomach to watch the torture scene but the guy deserves it. When the big fight starts Jason Statham is at his best he does not need a gu or a knife to fight. If you like Jason Statham you will love this.

If you liked Jurassic World you will love this movie.
10 July 2023
I really enjoyed this movie. The young is an amazing actress and should have a glowing future ahead of her. The main character did really well too. I found their 15 kilometre walk really exciting. The dinosaur CGI was pretty amazing and they all looked so real. The start of the film had a great build up and you soon knew you where on earth sixty five million years ago. The scenes in space where really well done and the crash scene was amazing. You really felt those asteroids hit the ship. I would have liked another ten minutes at the end to tidy a few things up but that was my only complaint. Lots excitement a great story what more would you want.

Line of Duty (2019)
10/10
Ignore the complainers this is a brilliant movie
9 July 2023
The acting is excellent. Everybody in the film acted really well. I thought it was a pretty unique plot for a film. Using the idea of live streaming a police investigation was brilliant, such a novel idea. It's pretty exciting from start to finish. If you love exciting chases you will love this film. There are chases on foot and chases in cars. I really enjoyed this film and the end scene is so good. There is a great conclusion to the film leaving nothing to the imagination. The girl who is following our hero grows in maturity as the film progresses and could not have acted any better. The relationship grew from annoyance to love as the film progressed.

Dangerous (III) (2021)
10/10
Scott Eastwood such a brilliant actor
29 June 2023
What's not to like. Scott Eastwood is brilliant in this movie. His acting was amazing. It was good to watch to the very end, very gory in parts but fun all the same. Quite a big surprise at the end that you won't suspect but there is a tiny clue from his dead brothers son. The villains are of course very bad and violent. The hotel his mother owns on the island as quite a few surprises. The mental state of Scott's character is very well played by Scott. You can sometimes hear the voice of his dad Clint Eastwood in Scotts dialogue. I have to admit I was not expecting much from this film but it had me gripped from the beginnings, I would love to see a follow up. Great part played by Mel Gibson.

Dragonquest (2009 Video)
7/10
Ignore the bad reviews this is a great film
22 June 2023
Marc Singer as always plays a brilliant part oddly enough he speaks like pirate. Special effects are pretty good and there is a good range of great actors. The hero Arkadi played by Daniel Bonjour works really hard under the teachings of Maxim (Marc Singer). Brian Thompson always makes a great villain and this film is no exception he plays a very nasty man. Jennifer Darogi makes a great Amazon type of fighter. Even young kids will enjoy this film. A quick synopsis of the film as as follows a man sets out to thwart an evil wizard, who wishes to take over the world, by unleashing a dragon that seems all-powerful. But our hero will win in the end. Just watch it you will enjoy it.

Invasion Roswell (2013 TV Movie)
10/10
The end has a touch of the first Starwars
15 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I really enjoyed this film. No big names acting was OK special effects OK for 2013. Lots of action there is no age bar as it was a TV movie. The hero's in the story are a bit like the A Team and even have a guy like Murdock who can fly anything but is a total nutter. Great fun to watch him. Ignore the terrible reviews there all by people who think anything less than Marvel must be rubbish. If you liked the A Team you will love this. At the beginning our hero's are all been retired but seven years later they get back together and convince the government they can save the world and they do. If you miss this film your missing a great film. Your kids will enjoy it. As a bonus we get Denise Crosby doing her stuff and looking good doing it. They of course win at the end which is expected.

Nobody (I) (2021)
10/10
What an amazing revenge movie
30 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Christopher Lloyd as a gun toting pensioner, Bob Odenkirk as a retired Government Assassin and Connie Nielsen as his wife. This guy is just an ordinary guy until his son and wife thinks he is a coward for letting two crooks get away with robbing his house. But this guy has a hidden talent which we find out when he hunts the two robbers down and delivers some justice. On his way back home some Russian Gangsters board the bus he is on and a very big fight takes place where he eventually wins with a lot of blood and action. This now makes him a target for a Russian mob boss and when he finds out where he lives they attack his house he hides his family in the basement then starts fighting. He takes down most of them but is tasered and shoved in the boot of the Russians car he escapes and ends up killing his kidnappers. The rest of the film is a John Wick type battle. His dad Christopher Lloyd and a friend of his join in a brilliant battle at the end of the movie. This is a film I will watch again. Just watch what Christopher Lloyd does when he is attacked in the care home he lives in.

It's got a T-Rex and another T-Rex
15 April 2023
I loved this film the main actress Dichen Lachman who went on to appear in Jurassic World Dominion is a brilliant actress and is one of the stars of the film along with her love interest. It gets very bloody in parts with blood everywhere, severed limbs, disembowelling and blood spouting everywhere. Some great fight scenes the T-Rexes look good but not on par with the Jurassic movies. I have never seen so much blood in film. The injuries are well over the top and are cartoonish at times. Victims Talking when their intestines are hanging out. A really good story and a great ending tying up all the loose ends except how the dinosaurs managed to survive for 65 million years. It's good fun and that's all you can ask for. I watch it free on Amazon Prime TV.

The Grey (2011)
3/10
Not a great movie
11 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
For a start none of the actors are likeable except Liam Neeson. It starts off in a rough bar. Then these guys get on a plane. It crashes in the the snowy wastes. Most people on the plane are killed an Liam Neeson manages to fall out the plane just before it hits the ground and is mostly unhurt. They make a crude shelter out of the plane wreckage. The injured ones die shortly afterwards. They get attacked by a pack of wolves one of the survivors get half eaten. So they all start to argue and shout at each other. Wolves surround the campsite so the few survivors make a run for it. The all either get killed by the wolves of die in accidents. Liam Neeson is the last survivor. At the very end of the film you see Liam Neeson been attacked by the big black wolf. You expect someone to come and save him and have a happy ending, but no the big wolf rushes to attack and kill Neeson but before this happens they stupidly show the credits.

The Doorman (2020)
10/10
A female die hard you will not regret watching this.
4 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This film is amazing Ruby Rose is brilliant playing the ex soldier. It is a Die Hard clone but with a female hero. It's pretty much action all the way from her failure at the start to protect the family she was supposed to keep safe. Her fighting skill are quite amazing and at on time she beats up around 5 policeman. Some of the killings are quite graphic but all the better for that. It has a very satisfying ending and quite a few surprises. I loved the fight scenes which were very well staged. Ruby Rose plays a character half Rambo and half Bruce Willis. The plot is quite interesting and if your a Die Hard fan you will love it.

Waste my time to confusing
4 April 2023
I watched this to the end and thought it was terrible. But I kept hoping it would get better. No explanations of how the lady kept switching dimensions. It seemed to have very little plot. I just could not get to grips with this. I will not be giving it a second view. The lead actress played her part very well. (Enough to get as Oscar) the constant jumping from one dimension or time to another was just too much for me. I have to admit the film looked good and the special effects where good too, but that is no excuse for a poor and confusing plot. I thought with all the praise it would be brilliant but it was not to my liking.

Star Trek: Picard (2020–2023)
10/10
I really loved this show.
9 March 2023
The third series is by far the best. The old crew from TNG are back together and it's just like watching more episodes of TNG if you loved TNG you will love this. It's just brilliant seeing how the TNG crew have aged and their back stories. Seeing Riker and Picard together again is just wonderful. Worf appears stronger than ever. I can fully recommend this show to all Star Trek fans. The stories are better and much more exciting. Ignore the bad scores from people who just did not like it. I personally look forward to a new episode every week. It certainly gave me my Star Trek fix which Star Trek Discovery did not.

Judge Dredd (1995)
8/10
Not as good as the 2012 version but good enough
25 February 2023
This film though not one of Stallone's best is on par with Demolition Man. It's what it is a decent watch. I enjoyed this film. I know it has critics but it's was a good first go. The main issue when compared with the 2000 AD comic is that Dredd takes his helmet off which never happens in the comic. The Mega City One is very well represented and very much like the city in Blade Runner. I really enjoyed this film but a lot of the acting is way over the top. The special effects are very good for 1995. The storyline is OK but could have been better. Stallone plays his part really well. If your a fan of Judge Dredd it's worth a watch.

Proximity (II) (2020)
10/10
Much better than I thought
24 February 2023
I have never liked alien abduction stories much but this one turned out to be very different. I found this a very good movie and very interesting. The story builds slowly to a brilliant ending. The acting is excellent especially the main actor. The special effects are good. Everything is explained with no loose ends.. Great chase scenes and the locations used are excellent. It more than deserved the ten stars I gave it. The aliens when they appear are well designed and one man has built a translater so we can understand what the aliens are saying. What I found interesting the main character was using a very heavy VHS video recorder and the actual date seemed to be at least 2003. The film starts in 1979 and then it moves to the present day. The bad guy is evil but at the end of the film it's explained why he is so evil.

Eye See You (2002)
7/10
Very gory in parts
9 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
The beginning titles I found very annoying they appear to have been made by some mad editor. I had to fast forward it. The beginning of the film is good and the set up is fine but then it goes off at a tangent and we get nearly an hour of detoxing which I found boring. Near the end it picks up dramatically and we are back to the action. The killer attacking everybody and then finally going after Stallone. The chase at the end is fine and lots of action and the final bit is gory and the murderer is very satisfyingly killed. It's such a pity about the middle part I fast forwarded it quite a bit.

Paycheck (2003)
10/10
Much better that the title
5 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I was not expecting much from this film but I was amazed how good it is. Our hero has invented a machine that can see what will happen to yourself in the near future. But his memory has been erased to stop anyone else knowing how to build one. He was to be paid $92 million paycheck for the three years it took to build the machine. But after the three years and blanking his memory the money is taken from him and he gets nothing. He manages to send himself a small parcel with everyday items that he does not realise will help him in his future efforts to find out what happened to his money for some reason a lot of people want him dead but the little parcel of everyday items help him stay alive. There is a lovely twist at the end. Lots of great action scenes, lots of bad guys being destroyed. I loved the whole film.

Cheering for the villain
29 January 2023
I would have scored ten but the ending could have been better. I love the idea of the bad guy who started off as the good guy managed so many successful attacks. There are some very graphic scenes so a strong stomachs are recommended. Everything is explained and it all makes sense. A really enjoyable film. Some great explosions also some great set pieces. It's so odd watching a film when you don't care for the good guys but you cheer for the bad guy. Some of the scenes are quite shocking and unexpected. The film does not go in the directions you expect. So lots of surprises. Even though I now know the ending I will be watching it again.

Such a great laugh
3 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I loved this film the acting was OK and the two women who are the main characters to a great job. Seeing so many monsters in one movie was a breath of fresh air. The reason I do t give it a ten is because it ends on a cliff hanger and needs a sequel. All in all a good fun movie to watch on a dull evening. Even the kids will like it. I hope there is a sequel. The CGI is not the best but it is OK in this movie. Having a giant crocodile destroy buildings is great to watch. Near the end of the movie it even switches to a Zombie movie where the president of America becomes a Zombie. The aliens who control the creatures are well done and the spaceships look good.

The Lost City (2022)

Romancing the stone with different actors
9 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Seems just like a remake of romancing the stone. But the shock exit of Brad Pitt halfway through the film was a massive unexpected surprise. Watching the male model become a hero was interesting to watch. It is quite a funny film. Even though I don't like Daniel Radcliffe's acting he was ok as a villain in this film but his acting was poor. Well worth a watch. Lots of explosions and lots of action. The scenery is beautiful in the jungle. Don't expect to see any animals or insects. I have to admit the start is a little slow but it soon picks up. There is quite a lot of blood in some of the shooting scenes and quite a lot of nasty deaths.

Not good
8 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The film started like like that Star Trek film with Spocks Half Brother but went downhill after that. The first hour is just a jumble of so called funny items but it just did not work. Showing the stars of Gardians of the Galaxy at the beginning helped a little but not enough to save it. I actually fast forwarded some of the film. The ending was sort of OK but giving a bunch of kids temporary god powers at the end to fight a battle was pretty stupid. For anyone who watched the other Thor Movies will be very disappointed with this episode. The plot is incoherent about a guy with a magic sword that can kill gods. It took some effort to watch until the end. This is probably the worst Marvel Movie ever released.
