Silent Hill (2006)
Avoid if possible
Right, last review I did was of Tongan Ninja, so my tastes in movies might not be the best in the world, but I do say this, I know when something is bad.
And that folks would be this movie, first lets state what is good about it....the visual effects......thats it.
The change from normalish time to hell time was nicely done, everything else about this movie was just bad.
First, and foremost the thing I disliked about this film was the completely over the top violence, i.e. the skinning scene and the rape scene....and I am sorry but there is no other way to describe the final scene....I feel that the only reason these were added was for their shock value which makes it even worse.
Sorry just had to get that out of my system, the more I think about it the more angry I get.
Moving on, apart from the violence, the other major downfall of this movie was the acting, particularly the fact that the child playing the little girl could not act to save her self. Also what was up with Sean Bean, I know the man can act due to seeing the Sharp series and what was up with his accent.
I could you go on and on, but really can't be bothered
..unlike the film which seemed like it was never going to end
Though on one final note, I am one of those people that have to watch scary movies through my fingers so I don't get too scared
.not once did I have to do this during Silent Hill , that I think that sums it up perfectly.
Tongan Ninja (2002)
Matrix eat your heart out
What a fantastic movie, its so bad (which its trying to be) you can not help but laugh. Shot on location in good old Wellington, what kiwi (or any one else looking for a laugh) could pass up watching what should be considered a classic New Zealand movie.
This movie has all the great makings of a Hong Kong martial arts B Movie, the bad dubbing, the tragic death of a family member, a mystic martial arts teacher and good guy against impossible odds.
The fight scenes against the ninjas (mainly the one where Tongan ninja infiltrates the so called syndicate) are a joy to behold, its like watching that old Amiga game International Karate.
