Movie Rating

It’s not subtle, but boy does it get the job done. The Day After Tomorrow, directed by Roland Emmerich aka the disaster movie expert, this disaster movie is a slickly shot and well-paced film that’s brimming with special effects.

Some of them hold up well and some of them don’t (ahem, the wolves). But the story is decent and Jake Gyllenhaal is always a win, plus Dennis Quaid is always reliable. It’s also much, much better than 2009’s 2012 and remains a really good addition to the genre, though maybe a little too close to home for the UK at the moment. Storm Emma is on her way and she’s not going to be pretty.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated The Final Destination (2009) in Movies

Jun 10, 2019

Touted to be the last film in the series, The Final Destination is even more disappointing than its predecessor and thankfully not the final outing for the franchise.

Utilising sloppy 3D effects that cheapened the film’s look was a bad move by director David R. Ellis and even the main disaster was uninspiring to watch – a NASCAR race just didn’t cut it after already having a vehicular disaster in Final Destination 2. The climax however, staged in a cinema, is incredibly clever.

Add to this some truly dreadful acting and awful dialogue and it makes for a low-point that thankfully was reversed just two years later. Unbelievably, this was also the most successful of the series.

Erika (17789 KP) rated The House of Velvet and Glass in Books

Mar 1, 2018 (Updated Mar 1, 2018)

After I read Howe's first book, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, I was hooked on this author. Overall, I liked the House of Velvet and Glass, but compared to Deliverance Dane, it was slightly disappointing. But, regardless of that fact, it was an interesting and engaging plot, and I liked the backdrop of the Titanic disaster.
