Powerful biography of Gia Carangi’s life. Lesbianism, drugs, AIDS. Very intense drama. Not my style of movie, I normally like to be entertained while this was gruelling. I have to say it’s very good if you like that sort of movie.
A great hacking movie. It has the setup, suspense and execution of a heist which I love. Released in 1992 and suprisingly doesn’t show it’s age. I need to come up with some sort of Fresh / Rotten rating but personalised for me. I’ll work on it but for now consider this movie ‘Fresh’.
The second of the Aliens vs Predator movie crossover. I think I remember reading somewhere that the Aliens and Predator worlds being related was perhaps already hinted at in either the original Alien or Predator movies. If this is true or not I feel the crossover works well.
The first AVP movie was ho hum. Great action but I found it too other-worldly and contrived. This movie watches more like a zombie movie, it details the alien spread through a small American town.
Of particular attention is the brutality of some of the scenes, often unexpected.
Er, ‘well done’? (Still searching for a fresh / rotten alternative). The movie is good.
We enjoy watching B grade movies as a flat perhaps with a beer or two. This was the first one for a while - I don’t think I was actually present at the flat showing but I caught up on it the night after so I could partake in the discussions.
The concept is: at the start of the movie we are introduced to the characters. Normally it’s obvous who is the star guy or girl. Everyone watching the movie is assigned a character who is almost guranteed to die as part of the movie - not the main guy or girl. It’s fun discovering how long you survive, how you die, who you betray and whatnot.
The movies are bad. But they are very good entertainment when viewed in this way. In the past we have watched Dog Soliders to give another idea of the style of movie that suits.
In this movie I was Hiko, played by Cliff Curtis who was born in Rotorua. I get this confused with Deep Rising which we also watched a couple of days later so a appoligise if I’m very light on the detail.
Contains lots of little machines.
Another B horror on a ship also having a character played by Cliff Curtis. (Another one of those two event oddities.) I was Mamooli.
Tentacled, man-eating sea creatures!
