Fright Fest (2018)
This film was fun to watch
After watching the introduction of this movie I was a bit confused of the direction of the film's narrative. The blood, gore and carnage of this movie is what makes it worth watching. Typical of the genre of young teens delving into an unknown situation where many surprises pop up along the journey. The movie has some twists in the end and makes it difficult for anyone to predict the outcome. The protagonist was very weak and should have been replaced by a better actor as well as the antagonist of the movie was a miscast and was just not very believable and intimidating. They are bright spots in this movie such as excellent acting by the individual who played the mayor. He needs to star in his own movie. I liked the scenes and lighting but was disappointed in the poor writing towards the end. This movie may have been rushed a bit because you can tell the director couldn't spend too much time on character development although the mayor nailed it with his facial antics to make the audience connect to him. As for the leading actor he was clearly a miscast. This movie is at best a 6->7.
Wake of Death (2004)
Excellent Action Fick
This movie is better than any modern action movie out right now. This movie is very stylish something like Leon: The Professional mixed with Training Day intro scenes. I've never seen Van Dam so Damn!! ; ) serious and emotional. I don't recall ever seeing him cry before in a movie. This is one of his good movies and I think the public needs to stop black listing van dam because he's made some bad flicks in the past. Every actor somewhere along the line stumble but the good ones always find a way out and come out on top.
IMDb voting is wrong.
I give this a 8/10 Go Van Damn!! Keep Kicking!!
Collateral (2004)
Great Movie!!
!!I saw this movie and was very satisfied. I was a bit hesitant at first in seeing this movie but once the movie got going it was great. The move just kept getting better and better. The shoot out scene in the club is simply magnificent. Jamie Foxx is amazing and he has finally got a role he wanted with Tom since he missed out on Jerry Maguire. Will Smith's doing was definitely part of this movie since his wife and close friend Jamie is in the movie but the chemistry is great. I loved this movie because it was very original and realistic. The underground world of LA was brought to light in this film.
