Instinct (2018)
Oh Dearie Me
Yes it is terrible in so many ways....but....I can't help loving it....It's Allan Cumming's revenge....He's taking the piss . When he gets some good lines ...few and far between ...he magnetizes you to the screen....what a show it would be with some ORIGINAL storylines....
A Sound of Thunder (2005)
Imagination required
I absolutely enjoyed this low budget movie.A great Bradbury story-line and genuinely scary moments....especially that moment underwater in the subway car when the nasty man eating mackerel looked to have done in the ice cool Ed Burns ....still get the shakes thinking about it . The idea that other species may have cross-bred and evolved just as intelligent as humans is very intriguing.I'd love to see this remade with the resources of say ...Fantastic Beasts ....wow.Turn a blind eye to the cheap production and enjoy the roller coaster.
The Liquidator (1965)
Know your cast
I read the other 17 reviews and was thankful that someone noticed that Eric Sykes was in the movie. It is massively disappointing to read reviews by people who have no inkling about the quality of the cast as well as pathos and irony ...if you had seen Sykes in The Plank you might have some idea of his talent. Though I must admit that Brit humour is often beyond some of our contributors. In his autobiography Eric said that Tony Curtis was the biggest plonker he met in Hollywood and that got my attention (The Great Race).He certainly got my attention again in this movie. I do like Rod Taylor and was taken aback by how well he underplayed this role and of course a cinema legend like Trevor Howard sending himself up was an utter joy . Please watch some of their movies (Clouded Yellow for Trevor) and maybe (No-one Runs for Ever for a rustic Rod)you will see much more in this comedy.
