Addams Family Reunion (1998)
A Wise Decision
Apparently Anjelica Huston and Christopher Lloyd didn't want to reprise their roles as Morticia and Fester. A wiser decision was never made!
The first two movies were great, I particularly liked Wednesday going to summer camp in the second one. Somehow this one just seems amateurish, like a bad fan film, and when you can say that about a film that has Tim Curry and Daryl Hannah in it, you know something has gone terribly wrong!
What Men Want (2019)
Awful!
I went to see this with my girlfriend a few weeks back. We both came out wishing we hadn't bothered.
Why does Hollywood keep doing this? Why do they keep rehashing old movies but switching the gender of the lead actors? Ghostbusters 2016, awful! Overboard 2018, mediocre at best! And this was genuinely dreadful!
Can't they be bothered to write decent roles for women instead of this dross!
Doctor Who: Love & Monsters (2006)
Haaaaa! Haa! Ha! Ha! Ha! Haaah!
Oh come on! I've been watching Doctor Who since I was five years old (30 years ago) and I've never seen an episode quite as funny as this one (not even the one with Bertie Basset in it). Don't take it so seriously, it was a totally played for laughs, self-mocking episode. Chasing the monster backwards and forwards across the screen at the start of the episode was straight out of Scooby Doo or classic Laurel & Hardy. Peter Kays human costume was a parody of the eccentric costumes earlier incarnations of the Doctor had worn (Ecclestone and Tennant look just too plain by comparison), and his Abzorbaloff costume harked back to the days when Doctor Who monsters were obviously just men in rubber suits (although I admit the kid who designed it couldn't have realised that, but then he did want it to be the size of a bus). Peter Kay didn't even bother trying to disguise his voice and if anything sounded even more northern as the monster. The soundtrack was great (I love ELO) and the blow job joke at the end had me in stitches. All in all the funniest Doctor Who episode ever, and a fantastic bit of light relief for between "The Satan Pit" and the next few episodes.
Doom (2005)
Turn Your Brain Off Before You Sit Down!
OK, there's not gonna be any Oscars with this films name on them! OK, the acting was not much to speak of (it was The Rock for Gods sake)! And I'd have like to see more variation in the monsters (for example where were the big round one-eyed meat ball things?) but it was a good fun no-brainer run around shooting things movie! And though very easy to compare to films like Resident Evil, what the hells wrong with that!? Sometimes I just want to watch a film that goes straight into the action without a long complicated plot build up, goes where its gotta and then finishes and this film fits the bill just fine! So if you want a simple uncomplicated "lets go and shoot zombies!" kind of movie, grab your popcorn and a beer and pull up a chair! And I loved the bit at the end where it all goes into FPS mode!!!!
