Monolith (2016)
Boring, just so boring overall!
OK, it's not the worst movie I've ever seen but it's up there. First off, I think people should know that this movie has three different titles at the time of writing this review - it is known as Monolith, Trapped Child and (in the UK as) Locked In.
So the lady is given the ultimate safest car of the future as it is packed full of technology. The car can drive by itself via a computer while protecting anyone inside kinda like a mobile bank vault if you will.
Long story short, the lady takes to trip LA with her kid but gets herself lost along the way in the middle of nowhere, she hits something and stops to check, gives the kid her mobile/cellphone to play around while she checks on what she has hit.
With mother outside, the child access the controls of the car via the app and locks himself in, and that is pretty much the whole movie. The kid is Locked In. And for more then 40 odd minutes, we watch as the lady tries to break into the unbreakable car - hence why it's got boring fast.
The idea of this movie has kinda been done before, think Panic Room but the bad guys as the mother and the panic room is on wheels.
This whole movie could have been avoided if she had just given the kid a tablet to play with in the first place. Oh and listen out for the "Terminator" style music score throughout.
Triads, Yardies & Onion Bhajees! (2003)
My God, one of the worst film I've ever seen.
Normally I just watch films & movies and add them into my lists BUT this, for the first time I had to write a review to warn other to stay the hell away from this.
The plot sounds good but the film itself isn't.
First off, IF it really did cost £900/£1000 to make this "film" - it really does show. A group of drama/media students and maybe, just maybe a group of friends with no film making experience could have done a better job then these jokers and it wouldn't be in black & white (there was no need for it)
(I've have seen the other stuff they have done in later years and it's just as bad - bad acting, robotic dialogue and cheap production values)
The "actors" couldn't act, there no energy coming form any of the characters. The dialogue is robotic as if they (the actors) didn't even want to be there and the same goes for their body language.
I wouldn't be surprised if the producers just grabbed a bunch of people off the street and asked them to be in this "film".
And FFS, why is every "gangster" wearing shades ALL the bloody time! Oh and the gun fire scenes, didn't even bother using blanks. Most likely as the bloody guns were BB's with unrealistic digital BS put in after.
Luckily for me as soon as the "acting" started getting bad, I've fast forward most of it only stopped when I though something good would happen. And it did and that was the end of this "film".
