5/10
Generous 5 ... weak and unremarkable
19 November 2021
Enough goofs and plot holes to make you reconsider carrying on ... Overall barely ok, not an entire waste, but there's better things to do with your time.

Choose something else.

So many plot holes.
31 August 2021
Polished film, decent production and presentation, excellent acting ... shame the gaping plot holes left you thinking "wut?!" WAY too often. One of those films just about worth waiting for on a subscription service, don't pay to rent it.

Quality.

A story, set in the west, you'll enjoy it. Definitely worth your time. Not a shoot em up. Do it.

Moody and well presented. Perfectly paced, Ok there's few real surprises, but definitely worth your time and enjoyable throughout. Solid. Great soundtrack.

Temple (2017)
2/10
Bad, terrible.
28 April 2021
Started off promisingly atmospheric, and then the hints of bad acting and lack of story and plot, bore fruit. Don't waste your time. Shame, so much collective potential wasted.

Confusing ...

Who am I identifying with? Flip flop ... Watchable but confusing

Kill Bill melds with Crouching Tiger
5 March 2021
Well, that was, uh, intense ... a 'presented' by Quentin tarantino film ... Watchable I suppose, not much sense , but eminently enjoyable for visuals and soundtrack. Not a waste of time.

Enjoyable, ignore the negative reviews, it was ok, as you'd expect, doesn't shine, was worthwhile.

Brilliant, wow, enjoyable!

If you like your sci-fi in the style of Guardians of the Galaxy, cheesy yet substantial, you'll enjoy this, without question. Recommended. What a ride!

Marionette (I) (2020)
7/10
Wow, that was original! What a refreshing change..
26 January 2021
You'll think you've seen it all before, a fairly middling, yet, engaging 'whats going on here' type film that keeps you guessing all the way through, flip flop changing what you think is really going on ... and then lays it all out before you. Satisfying, and in the final scenes, leaves you without any doubts.

Well paced and presented. Simple and enjoyable, a decent way to spend almost two hours watching a film. Not wasted.

A Romp, you will not be disappointed!
10 November 2020
Great energy, absolutely mesmerising performance from (uncredited!?) Chris Pine.

A simple, yet totally, enjoyable film.

Sinister (I) (2012)
9/10
Properly, refreshingly, scary film.
5 October 2020
If you haven't had that standup hair-tingling moment when watching a film for a long time, this is the one that will do it. Feels like you're watching one of your nightmares made tangible. Uncomfortable to watch in several places (for the pure craft of it's presentation). With originality and an atmospheric soundtrack and visuals, you won't be disappointed. Superb.

Proof of Life (2000)
8/10
WAY better than you might be led to expect.
2 August 2020
One of my top films to come back to and rewatch. Perfectly paced, engaging and quality film. Proper story, well presented and without the usual Hollywoodisation - ie no simplification in the telling, and no overblowing the action sequences. Quality.

Clumsy ... pretty, but what a hash.
12 January 2020
I'm torn ... on one hand, the visuals, the sets, the creatures, worlds, droids etc were properly epic in presentation and appearance, and hugely enjoyable.

BUT my goodness, as far as the story went, it was the clumsiest, laziest, piece of junk of a script I've come across for a long time. I genuinely don't know if I enjoyed it or not.

Like a kids film based on adult themes.

Heh heh, beautiful, simple.
9 December 2019
Enjoyable, a touch on the cheesy or parody side, but eminently beautiful soundtrack, whether you're a fan of John Travolta, Morgan or Famke . You'll enjoy this unusual collaboration. A story, simply enjoyable.

The Toybox (2018)
3/10
Terrible movie.
31 January 2019
Some atmospheric score and wonderfully shot visuals but everything else .. every-thing; the writing, the acting, the story, terrible ... as a violent and gory slash thriller thingo ... almost laughable in its beyond B movie position ... yeah, a polished B movie ... but don't bother.

Unusual, bleak, provocative ... Not a must see, although enjoyable to a point. Take it or leave it.

How It Ends (2018)

A story, as a film should be.
21 October 2018
Worthwhile watch, decent story, real. Don't expect to be spoon fed the whys and the wherefores and you'll enjoy the story for its own journey sake.

Meh.
10 October 2018
Slow burning, didn't really get going, flash scares in line with title ... Kept me all the way to the end though, but ultimately left with a feeling of ... 'thats it?!' mmmmm
