Doctor Who Am I (2022)
Nothing to do with making of doctor who movie. Pure cashgrab
Dont expect any insight to doctor who and the making of this film. This is one man's ego and his need to make some money so goes reluctantly goes to conventions and cash grabs from doctor who fans.
The film trailer teases key cast members and their thoughts but they are all only in it for a minute and they talk about themselves as actors and their thiughts on conventions rather than anything about the making of the show. Want to hear how much eric roberts loves being married then this is for you. Want to know more about a girl dress up and twirl a blanket to simiulate regeneration. This is for you. Why did the doctor kiss a person and say he was half human? Well thats what we liked so deal with it. This is just the writer finally agreeing to tour conventions and rather than tackle his thoughts and decisions he simply views fans in the usa looking down at them or oddly at them until he finally approves of who fandom but also states he wont do the fan conventions again.
Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012)
Brave attempt but shouldn't be a unisol movie
This is an OK film in its own right but why link it to universal soldier which was a great film. This continuation only damages the excellence of the original movie. Yes dolph and Jean are back in it but so what? They were in the last one too and they are clearly older and there to sell the movie on name value. Really you don't need this linked to uni sol. It's Scott atkins movie and he does his best with the action and the acting but it's a 2d film with an interesting plot. The action is violent. Limbs and body parts blow up. Flesh and blood. Gratuous sex. Jean Claude is trying his best attempt at Marlon brando in apocalypse now but fails. After all he is Jean claud van damme and the hero of the franchise. Again this could have been better if a separate movie. What is dolph doing here.
The Three Stooges (2012)
Good faithful continuation of 3 stooges for modern audience
I am not sure why other reviews are so low. This is meant to be the 3 stooges. The original actors have all passed and times have changed so it is very challenging to make a movie based on short films from the 30s. The actors do a great job of playing these roles and the humour is very farrelly brothers which is akin to the stooges. I'm not a big stooges fan but have watched the originals since this movie and I think it is faithful enough. Good job.
Terror Train (1980)
Actually its pretty good
Ok I dont normally rate films like this but this is actually pretty good. Its a straight forward mystery slasher movie. Not overly gory or scary but entertaining to watch. Its bizarre how David Coppofield got a starring vehicle in this film. The film feels pliced between its story and one of his magic shows but it fits with the corny story. Jamie Lee is in good form. The killer's antics are entertaining. It wont win any oscars but its fun. Plus the director for this film also directed James Bond Tomorrow Never Dies so cant be that bad.
Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992)
Good film. Part film noir and part comedy
As invisible men films go this is at the top. Some of the newer films seem to leaned into horror and the classic older movies while good have dated a bit. This film tackles the issues of the subject as a victim and his personal issues. Plenty of nods to the original with more modern (for the time) measures of capturing the invisible man. Part espionage bit comedy too. The film makes the brave decision to let the audience see the protagonist sometimes to get his view on things and give some laughs in comical situations.
Black Water (2018)
Toilet. Universal soldier this aint.
I liked the idea of seeing these two leada play together despute seeing the last two universal solder movies not long ago. Unfortunately the budget is too small and jcvd is past it. Dolph gives his best to shine but they are mostly locked up in a couple of rooms. You never feel they are in a submarine. The action is shoddy and jcvd looks like he doesnt want to be here. Everyone else is unknown. I never normally complain about the directors but this is directed badly. Dolph is suposed to be german and there is no attempt to do that. The angles the cheapness is bad. The flashbacks are shoddy and the driving of the story. I also wander if jcvd has become a dirty old man insisting on sex scenes with the lead girl or if that is the director. All the femal. Lines are secist and camera shots are on their arses. Discount megan fox could be jcvds granddaughter and the only other female lead who just met him is suddenly fighting her for him. I mean it doesnt work as jcvd is old and tired and bored in this and i dont mean in a fun way. Looks all wrong. I just didnt care who wins or not and hated the cheesy way the two leads came off. This is a disaster production
