Dean (6925 KP) rated April Fool's Day (2008) in Movies

Mar 31, 2018

A so-so remake of the cult classic, although this time it is totally different characters and story but with the same idea. So if you have seen the original, if not then why?, you already have a good idea of how it will turn out. This is one of the main problems as it loses any sense of tension of the first film with its setting on a remote island. Despite the low budget TV movie feel, it was still watchable with a young trendy cast. Don't rush to see it but it's not that bad.

Del Toro's intense action-horror-superhero thrash surpasses the original and slips the hospital pass to every subsequent instalment or spin-off. Terrifying mutant vampires appear, preying on the original kind; the vampire establishment is obliged to recruit Blade to help eliminate the new menace. Tensions inevitably ensue between Blade and his new allies...

Top cast includes various cult action stars, but the success of the film is down to the director's ability to give it both energy and atmosphere by the bucketload. Grips and entertains from start to finish; everything you want from this kind of film.

Good remake

This is a brilliant if simple thriller/horror film! I was surprised I liked it so much, favours well compared to the original and much better than The Hitcher 2 which no doubt passed many by, just as well. This is very similar to the original with the general plot and "key" scenes still in it. Sophia Bush is great in this and Sean Bean does make a a good viillain. Very violent and bloody to go with it! If you thought this would be a poor comparison to the cult original then I suggest you check it out.

Heather Cranmer (2721 KP) rated Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology in Books

Jun 6, 2018

Wow! If I didn't love Leah Remini before, I certainly do now. I found her book to be extremely insightful. I also liked how everything was made easy to understand especially the Scientology terms.

What I love the most about Leah is how real she is. She doesn't hold anything back.

This book isn't just about Scientology. It's about Leah's life. Leah was so honest and truthful in her book, it seemed.

Scientology is a cult. It's a shame how they treated Leah and many of their members and ex members.

I would definitely recommend this book!

Movie Rating

Cult mash-up of Day of the Triffids and The Omega Man is engaging enough to make you overlook how brazen it is. Teenage sisters improbably survive the end of the world: time to load up with automatic weapons, hit the shops and argue about boys!

Handles its genre movie conventions with knowing deftness, but after a strong first act the pace slacks off a bit too much and it feels like the movie loses focus - faster and funnier would be better. Recovers somewhat for the climax, though. Ultimately, this is only ever superficial, but it's also undeniably good fun.
