Zombie Killers: Elephant's Graveyard (2015)
Bland, Boring and Painful To Watch
2 words: Billy Zane
This movie is obviously trying to cash in on the only somewhat familiar actor in this woefully terrible cast. Apart from the slow moving story, its poor attempt at character development and one of the stupidest sequences I've seen in ANY zombie movie (Mutant/Zombie jumping fish...try saying that with a straight face), it's just....boring!
The acting is so low key and bland, that it hardly registers. The dialogue, although having some decent moments, is for the most part just monotone and forced. The make-up effects are somewhat half decent, disregarding a few moments where the zombies looked like they had run through a jam factory and stolen all the free samples they could.
I'd watch this once and just forget about it, it's alright if you need something to pass the time.
Dumb and Dumber To (2014)
This Is Painful!
Do you know why the original Dumb and Dumber was funny? Because the characters of Harry & Lloyd were dim but they meant well, they didn't mean to intentionally cause harm or pain to others, they just weren't that bright.
In this sequel, I'm just going to straight up say it...they're a**holes. They're mean spirited, they practically bully the poor guy in the wheelchair and they just aren't funny!
No effort was put into making this sequel at all, its like the producers and directer quickly glanced at the original movie and just went "ah screw it, this'll be close enough".
A poor, poor effort from two genuinely funny actors, who aren't as much to blame for this as the writers. 3/10
Monty Python Live (Mostly) (2014)
The Greatest Live Show I've Ever Seen!
Its been nearly 50 years since the comedic genius that is Monty Python first appeared way back in 1969, with feature films, television series and live stage shows following suit.
Now I will admit that I wasn't that interested in Monty Python in my younger years, although familiar with it I just never got around to watching them. But, I can honestly say after watching their final (possibly) live show only a few hours ago, it was the single greatest comedy show I have ever seen in my entire life!
Jam packed with loads of the well known favourite sketches (The Dead Parrot was absolutely hysterical), musical numbers and clips from the original series, Monty Python is STILL a comedic powerhouse! All the Pythons return in this stage extravaganza (excluding Graham Chapman, may he rest in peace), Palin, Gilliam, Cleese, Idle and Jones and by god what a performance!
These men, who should really be collecting their pensions by now, are still as funny and perfectly timed as seen in Flying Circus and their motion pictures. This show has it all, I mean REALLY has it all....great musical numbers, perfect comedy, celebrity appearances...Michael Palin and Eric Idle in saucy little numbers you'd buy from a sex shop that leaves very little to the imagination.
All in all, the Pythons are still on top form...will this really be their last stage show? I hope not...I want more!!!
10 / 10 - Absolute comedy perfection from the undisputed comedy legends!
Battlefield 4 (2013)
I had hopes for Battlefield 4
Since I picked up Battlefield: Bad Company second hand a few years ago, I fell in love with it.
The audio was amazing, the visuals were fantastic and the destructible environments blew me away (as it was the first FPS i'd played with that element)
Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 became my favourite FPS games and I was beyond excited when EA announced Battlefield 4. But, It hurts me to say that this game is garbage!.
1) I finished the campaign on its hardest setting in just under 5 hours 2) The story and gameplay were boring beyond belief 3) Enemy AI was dumb and repetitive 4) The graphics were WORSE than Battlefield 3 (on Xbox 360 anyway) 5) The ending was anti climactic
Online its just as fast paced and intense as BF3, although I did find the weapons customisation a bit confusing at the beginning. And in near enough every online session, I find myself starring at the other players frozen in one spot due to either lag or a glitch, although I am still able to run around (for about 10 seconds, then It says I was killed).
EA and DICE need to step it up a bit, the game is broken, boring and not at all as good as it could have been.
5 / 10, an average game that could have been 10x better
