as penance you will now review Evil Dead 1,2&3 |
Fair enough,
The Evil Dead 8/10
Sam Raimi's practical effects are legendary and Bruce Campbell did a great job. It was the very first time I saw Bruce Campbell in a film and this lad is just cool. He's very likeable. Also, if you compare him to all the action film characters of the 80's, he unlike many had and still has his own style. There's something fresh about a hero such as Ash/Bruce.
Evil Dead 2: Dead By Dawn 8.5/10
One word: ''Groovy''
Army of Darkness - 9/10
My all time favourite Evil Dead film. The production quality of this film, all the stop-motion stuff and the comedy bits were just perfect. Yes, the film didn't really make any sense, but it doesn't matter that much. This was Sam Raimi's Evil Dead masterpiece. He had a lot of experience and for the first time he had a bit more money to put more of his ideas into the film.
Evil Dead (2013) - 5/10
A remake? All the comedy was gone. You could tell Sam Raimi did not direct it. It was a pretty generic slasher movie trying to milk the original film/s. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

I saw Evil Dead 2 first, and I was about 14 or 15, which is probably the bestt age to get that perfect roller coaster of fear and hilarity. Watched it my friend, who got his mum to rent it for us.
I also have very fond memories of a load of us watching Amityville Horror, not so much for the film but all of the goofing around, and wisecracking, running commetary/jokes. Even if I did have to watch it again on my own afterwards to see it. |

I've seen all sorts of films when I was ''too young'' by today's standards. The Tv in Czech rep. in the 90's and early 2000's was full of classic horror/comedy films + I had a VHS rental store right next to my house and people there didn't really care for the PG rating. The only 18+ only tapes were porn.
Me and my mates loved South park, we were maybe 10-11? We did call each other uncle fecker for a while.
And I still remember being at my grand parents house about 12 years old, watching with my grand father the I Bought a Vampire Motorcycle (1990) on Tv at 10pm. The scene with the talking crap in the toilet was just hilarious. Also, completely incidentally, my very first motorcycle was a GPz550 which was the bike, that the main character had. Well, before he got the blood sucking Norton. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Seven Psychopaths.
Pretty funny for a Yank movie. I liked it. 8/10. Good cast too, but Christopher Walken looks more and more like an old lady to me. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Those were the days when you were free to be emotionally scarred, not like today when they're censoring literally everything (even Simpsons episodes).
Hampstead 3/10 - loosely based on a guy who was tramping it up on Hampstead Heath. It had a few humorous moments, and the tramp guy was a good character, it's just the film mainly focused on an annoying (fictional) American woman, and was pretty cringeworthy at times. I'm actually surprised I finished the film. |

Downsizing 3/10
It started good, the trailer made the whole film look like a good laugh. But well, let's say the first 1/3 was genuinely good, the second third was SPOILER: Matt Damon was going to get downsized with his wife, but she couldn't do it. He went through the whole procedure of downsizing and then his wife called him to tell him, well honey I didn't do it, good luck and divorced him later on, so Matt was trying to find himself again. Not happy in his work etc. .
The last third was,... I don't even know what to say.
The cast was good and I really expected this to be a comedy. I mean Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig always do funny bits in every film they are in. Not in this one though. It was a romantic/drama/good samaritan kind of film. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle 7/10
This was actually a nice surprise. I had very low expectations when they announced the film.
The cast was perfect. Dwayne Johnson did a great job, he always does (well, the Mummy films and Doom were both crap), Kevin Hart is also a good comedy character. Jack Black didn't get much space and I think it was a shame and Karen Gillan is very nice to look at.
IF I get over the ''classic'' Hollywood bending of rules and continuity, plus the stupid plot, it was a good film with a lot of laughable moments.
Not really a film for the original Jumanji fans, but also no that bad that you wouldn't enjoy it. I'm still not sure about the target audience though. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

All The Presidents Men.
Never seen it, and a lot of interviews recently indicate that it would work well alongside The Post. I think that we will be watching that soon, so gave this a crack. it's a weird film to (sort of) review, because I didn't find it that easy to watch. It dragged and then ran, and then dragged again. Two leads did well. I watched it out of interest of the historical facts.
6.5/10
The Circle
Hermione goes to work for Woody from Toy Story. Big Internet company goes too far with invasions of privacy, and it felt a little bit like AntiTrust (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0218817/?ref_=nv_sr_1) meets the Social Network. I enjoyed it, but can't help but feel that had the film had an extra 20 minutes, they could have fleshed it out a little. Instead, the last third felt a little hollow and rushed. Not bad, apparently the book is better and has a different ending...

The Outsider - 7/10
I like gangster films. When I saw that Jared Leto ( That lead singer of that band from mars ) was playing some outsider who weaves himself in to the Yakuza in Japan, I thought to myself, "This is either going to be really shit or really good"... it was the latter.
You can get gangster / crime based films so wrong that they mostly end up being a big bag of wank but this was pretty good. Sure it wasn't perfect but it was better than most of the modern crime / gangster films that come out these days.
Was kind of hoping for some inspiration and nods to "The Yakuza" from 1970's but didn't get any of that vibe.
The film felt authentic anyway, which is half the battle with this stuff.
P.s. Retail 1080p copies of The Last Jedi dropping over the last few hours |

Brooklyn 4.5/10 - an endearing film about a gal who emigrates from Ireland to America. Not a lot happens but I found the characters/performances enjoyable. A break from explosions and people getting shot |

A paint by numbers action film, not bad nor great but I didn't have to look for how long was left either, that's always a plus. A few Cleavage shots, although they're not Angelina sized. |
I saw this on Saturday, and I agree.
Battle Of The Sexes
Emma Stone and Steve Carrell play Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs in a telling of the Battle of the Sexes tennis game from 1973. It was a little bit slower than I expected, but it was still a decent watch. At the end, when it shows you the original pictures and footage, it is insane how close Steve Carrell looks like Bobby Riggs.
7/10
Date Night
Looking for something for all the family to watch, me and the wife had seen it before and the boy seemed interested, and yeah. Solid low taxing film with some good turns and some good laughs.
7/10
The Little Hours
Retelling of an old story with Hollywoods young stars/starlets. And John C Reilly. Fucking awful. Absolutely toss. Don't bother.
-20 / 10
Zombieland
This, on the other hand, is how comedy should be done. Great script, Jesse Eisenberg is tolerable, Woody Harrelson is at his finest, Emma Stone is there. Bill Murray is there. Properly funny.
