Grim Reaper (2007)
Grim repair
First 10 minutes is the most grim, stupid, predictable, screaming female, dark, predictable, bad acting....god it goes on. The taxi accident was the worst crash effects I have ever seen. Rachel rolls over the taxi like a sack of wool (in slow motion) mixed with potatoes....
The script is jarred and seems to go from one point to the other - there's no cohesion.
This is I'm afraid as bad as it gets. I didn't watch the full film, so I might be wrong and all actors and director might have improved after the halfway point...yes, I could not take any more the 35 minutes. I like movies, but not this one.
This is 1 point above Ed Wood directing.
Breakheart Pass (1975)
The music's good - shame about the film
Just re-watched this film after maybe 15 years gap. The film now seems shallow and fairly pointless. Charles Bronson is clearly a hero character so it ain't going to fool any kid today. Jill Ireland is there for the money only I'm afraid. The scenery is good, I've always liked snow encased scenes for some strange reason. The script isn't a match for Alister Macs Last film "where eagles dare"
However, what has stood out is the title music from jerry Goldsmith, it's a cracker! I've just re-listened to it a dozen times and I find it great rousing stampede of a score - almost sublime. The chaotic piano part in the score almost matches the script at times.
