My Netflix Reviews

The Lost Boys: The Tribe


What a disappointment! This movie was nowhere near as good as the original. The story was weak and boring. Corey Feldman reprising his role as Edgar Frog couldn't even make this movie good. He looked creepily identical to the way he looked in 1987... Apparently I blinked and missed Haim entirely. The dialogue was terrible, Feldman's dialogue was ripped straight from the original and plopped into this one. I just wish I could travel in time to before I watched this steaming pile of cow dung and forever tarnished The Lost Boys. So, why the second star? Well, there is one redeeming quality in this movie. The level of gore is pretty decent. It doesn't work for this movie, but it earned a half-star on its own. 1.5 stars. If you're a Lost Boys fan, you're going to see this no matter what I say...just be warned, lower your expectations A LOT! If you're new to The Lost Boys, you should definitely come out from under that rock and rent the original Lost Boys movie and forget that they ever made a sequel. 1 August 2008

Carver


Carver is nothing special. Those of us that are fans of the slasher genre have seen all of this more times than we care to count. That being said, the movie wasn't terrible. The acting is as expected for the genre. The storyline was pretty weak, but slasher fans should be able to overlook this detail. Character development...well, let me just say that these are your typical slasher movie characters with only the bare minimum development. Most of the characters were okay (not exactly likable, but I didn't want to kill them myself), but Bryan was downright annoying. I was rooting for the killer to kill him. The level of gore is fantastic. And there is one scene in particular (roughly half way through) that is just horrid...but in a good way. It involves pliers and a testicle. Need I say any more? Not for the squeamish. This is a low-budget film and it doesn't try to be anything but that; it's not trying to be look like a Hollywood production and for that, I give them credit. The low-budget nature of the film adds to the overall feel of the movie. It's not scary, and at times it's not even creepy...but this is worth a watch for a genre fan. If you're not a slasher fan, you'll want to look elsewhere; there are much better movies out there. 21 July 2008

The Ruins


The Ruins is a decent movie, neither great nor terrible. The basic plot is nothing new and the 'villian', so-to-speak, is not really scary. It's hard to be afraid of a plant. The acting is better than expected and the effects are well-done. This movie seems to be trying very hard to be scary, but it falls way short. There are no scares in this, again...a plant is the 'bad-guy.' This movie relies too much on gore and mutilation (even self-mutilation) to scare the viewer in scenes that just aren't scary. This movie was worth a watch, but barely. The special features were interesting. 2.5 Stars (rounded to 3). I recommend only to those horror fans that are easily scared and willing to overlook plots that have been done too many times. 14 July 2008

K-Pax


K-Pax is not what I expected. I rented this thinking I was going to watch a Sci-Fi movie but what I watched was so much more than that. This movie is fantastic. The acting is absolutely wonderful; Spacey (as Prot) is nothing less than stellar, so convincing that you really have to wonder if he IS from another planet. The story, though a little slow at times, is well-done. The movie has flaws, but the they are minor. This movie will leave you wondering: Is he or isn't he? If you liked Starman, you should give this movie a chance. A must-see for Spacey fans! 4 stars. 14 July 2008

Murder-Set-Pieces


This is a wretchedly awful piece of garbage! Murder-Set-Pieces is not even deserving of the 1 star minimum rating. Don't let the box art fool you! That body is nowhere in this steaming pile of cow dung. The acting is terrible. The sound is terrible. To say that the plot is terrible is inaccurate; that implies that there WAS one. There are no redeeming qualities here. This is a complete waste of time! Avoid this one like the plague! 1 Star. 14 July 2008

Hey lady ... I just posted a comment above where Movie Girl is promoting groups ... I could use your assistance as well If you want to help me out with my Related genre of PEOPLE

With the two of us handling both genres we could promote Favorite Hunks easier and maybe wouldn't get slammed for spam. MG is already promoting several of the groups that are in the People category.

Visit my page on Dorky Cool by clicking on the badge on the Hunks main page.

ps: I know MovieGirl is busy as are you but I'm going to shout out to her as well.
