Saint Maud (2019)
If your not religious I doubt you could enjoy this.
Let me start by saying as much as I found this film a complete waste of time I can see how this horror movie could probably be scary and enjoyable to anyone religious. As it was I found two scenes in the entite film creepy and the religeous babble was really wasted on me.
That being said if your religeous this will probably be a phenomenal horror and the acting cannot be faulted at any point but I expected it to be a horror anyone could enjoy. If your religeous it's probably a must see, if your not you will probably just wonder why you bothered.
Ready to Rumble (2000)
Rips into the way some people take wrestling too seriously as a fan... SUCCEEDS!
As i read on another review this movie was not made to be a good movie but a fun one. Being a wrestling fan that was my original reason for watching this movie but now i watch it for a laugh. A lot of OTT humour I've seen in movies before is just downright pointless (e.g. that highly rated comedy called Anchorman) whereas the OTT humour has a point in this movie... to make fun of the fans of wrestling who take it too seriously.
This it succeeds in and most of the laughs come from the two wrestling fans in moments where they are acting serious. Its just a shame then never sold it on DVD in the UK.
All in all a great feel good movie, especially if your a wrestling fan, with lots of laughs all the way through this movie is thoroughly underrated as a comedy
Metropolis Street Racer (2000)
Perhaps the best racing game EVER!!!
These days xbox 360 owners will be familiar with the likes of Project Gotham Racing 3, and soon to be PGR4! People discuss what game is better PGR2 on Xbox or PGR3 on Xbox 360! Well the answer is neither! Metropolis Street Racer.... though most of you have probably never heard of it, is the origin of the PGR series and the best racing game to date. The handling featured in PGR, Environment detail in PGR, its all there in Metropolis Street Racer. It gives you its own tracks and allows you to free roam any of the 3 cities at your own pace. These three cities being London, Tokyo and San Francisco. What was so revolutionary about this game was the attention to detail. If you saw a phone box in this game, or saw a tree... they would be in exactly the same place if you went to London today! I have to say though my favourite part of this game was the ability to drive cars you would rarely or never get to play every in any other game. Including some OUTRAGEOUS unlockables which are DOWNRIGHT FUNNY!!!
These including...
Lawn Mower London Taxi London Double Decker Bus San Francisco Taxi San Francisco Bus Tokyo Taxi Tokyo Bus ------------------------------
Cars that were particularly fun to be able to drive and highly rare to gaming were the Peugeot 306 Convertible, Fiat Barchetta, and Fiat Turbo to name a few! ------------------------------ Gameplay - 96% - Fantastic!
Even now the graphics are playable and as handling goes its pretty much EXACTLY the same as the handling found in PGR today! to give you an idea of when the game was released it was just after the release of the Vauxhall VX220 Sports Car, this can be seen on the front cover ------------------------------ Scenery - 88% - Great!
The bad point about the scenery... Not graphically brilliant Other bad points about the scenery... THERE IS NONE
The attention to detail in the environment is superb and detail that can only be found in MSR and the PGR series! ------------------------------ Vehicles - 98%
Brilliant selection... As many as found in other games and cars that wouldn't usually be seen in other games, making this game unique. If the selection of cars wasn't enough to make this game "Unique" then the fun cars in the game such as the London Taxi surely do! ------------------------------ Sound - 95% - Great Realist
The patter of raindrops, engine noises, all recorded from their real life counterparts! Attention to detail.. again BRILLIANT! ------------------------------ OVERALL - 94% - Fantastic, though to todays standards, though playable they may be, graphics lack depth, that when the game was released, were revolutionary, and now dated!
THATS MY 2 CENTS!!!
Silent Hill (1999)
Scariest thing in the history of Media!
Think you don't find any films or games scary any more? You fancy a scare? If the answer to both of these is yes then you definitely wanna play Silent Hill! Just a piece of advice...
Don't play it alone! The atmosphere in the game, How realistic it is, and whats happening around you all contribute to the best horror game ever, and will probably be the best for a long time to go. The closest i have gotten to being this scared was playing The Suffering on PS2, But that doesn't even touch on the effect this game has on you. You'll be walking along and you'll hear footsteps and nothings there, and it will make you freeze! I've heard many a time that the character you play is not very good at shooting, but thats whats good about it. If you just picked up a gun and aimed at something chances are you wudnt hit it! Also the locations; Hospitals, Schools, Petrol Stations, Apartments, this makes you think its even more real which is the main reason i found it scary. You definitely wont find me in a deserted school any more.
This is my personal equation for the game....
(The Suffering x 100) + The Shining = Silent Hill Seriousely the jumpiness, the atmosphere, the locations all make this the scariest game of our time and even 7 years on, the graphics are still playable... My advice is to play this game with at least 2 other people.
If you do not have the game already you will find its a very hard game to get hold of! My advice is try ebay. I got it on there for £22 yes it maybe 7 years old but for how great this game is its worth every penny! Hope you find my review useful :)
Superman Returns (2006)
Worst Superhero Movie EVER!!!
2 and a half hour movie.....
How much of the movie was action? TAKE A GUESS!
HALF HOUR! 2 hours of him and her trying to tell each other how they cant speak to each other. I've never watched superman before and never will again!
Everyone should watch this movie to see how bad it is! Once you've watched it tell me if you find my brief, but true review useful! THANKS!
P.S. If your a Superfan Fan please do not comment!
I think I'm gonna stick to Spiderman!
Silent Hill (2006)
Silent Hill - Best Game to Film Crossover to date!
Do not take my vote as a good thing. If not a fan of the original silent hill game for playstation then this may not be the movie for you. For me this is the best game to film crossover. Resident Evil was a survival horror game turned into an action movie, Alone in the Dark was just rubbish acting and all i have is words to go by with the Doom movie as i have not seen it yet.
Anyway... The film retains many of the characters from the game and being a fan i found it amazing to see it in a film with real people. however for people who don't recognise the creatures and have not played the game before may find the movie boring and think of it as too drawn out but for fans this is a brilliant movie, recognising the story and the creatures inside it. People may be going to the cinema looking for a scare-fest. If you've played the game don't expect to be scared, all features are used in the game but better and people who haven't played the game will easily notice the CGI which just spoils the scary atmosphere of the movie. Overall i find this a great movie with a solid story and good acting.
Good Points: = Good Acting = Solid Plot = Retains many of the great features of the video game
Bad Points: = CGI easily noticed = Movie drags, Parts could have been cut out
I tried to give as best a review i cud but me being a fan of the silent hill games, you may find my opinions bias..
I hope you find my review helpful THIS IS MY FIRST REVIEW :)
