An enjoyable film to add to the series and very similar to the 2nd but set in China basically. It has good special effects, stunts etc but it does miss Rachel Wiesz in her role. Maria Bello is a fine actress but not sure she is suited to the comic moments as much, good attempt at the English accent though lol. Overall more of the same from the last one but nothing we haven't seen in the first two.

A Netflix original starring Michael Pena and Lizzy Caplan. This movie was excellent. The cinematography, the acting, the special effects. All great. The story unfolds fairly quickly with a really fascinating twist to it that really catches you off guard. This sci-fi action thriller is intense. There's violence but this movie is ok for kids too. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it! Even if you're not a huge fan of sci-fi, you can appreciate and enjoy this film.

A well made film about the actor Bob Crane from a hit 70's TV show. His soaring popularity effects him in many ways, becoming a sex addict and with technology progressing at the time making his own "home" videos and pictures. A little known film with a good cast, how much you like it depends on whether you knew of the actor or TV show. I didn't but still found it interesting as it's based on true events.

It was fun. I did not chose to finish it, but that is because there was so much to it that I lost interest after playing it for many many days. I like the fact you can go around trying to cure all of whitechapel and how this effects the story slightly.

Fun
This movie turned out better than expected. Statham, as always, did a great job, as did the rest of the crew. Cool cinematography/effects and characters. The story was, well "semi- believable" but exciting and fun to watch. A few twists and turns-mostly predictable- but good enough to keep things interesting. If you haven't seen a good "shark tale" im a while, check this one out. Lots of excitement and intensity. Really worth a watch!

Hammer meets Poe!
I saw this about 30 years ago and it's stuck in my mind. Vincent Price plays sorcerer, and if that isn't enough to get you to watch it, then I can't help you.... Some good effects in its day. This film actually made me want to read the poem, which for me, I'm sorry to say, wasn't as good as the film.

Special effects and awesome CGI. (1 more)
Actors do their best with trite material.
I'm sure teenage boys will love it? Maybe?
Dear lord! The quest makes no sense, there is no surprising twist, it is trite and superficial, disjointed and played like a teenage malcontent's dream. The actors do their best, and I am clearly not the target audience, but I had hoped the visual medium would make the story watchable. Sadly it does not.

This seems to be a real love it or hate it film going by other reviews! Personally I quite enjoyed it and found it a good mix of action and comedy, with a cool car to boot! I do like Seth Rogen's other films and find him funny. There is plenty of fun to be had here along with some cool effects. You'll like it so long as you realise it's more of a comedy than an action film.

Surprisingly decent
Ok this haunted house/ghost story turned out better than expected. Started off a little slow but picked up and took off with interesting tales and some creepy creatures. If you're into horror stories this is a good one. The acting was not the greatest but ther effects and stories had plenty of grossness and spookiness to make up for it. Nothing too scary for the younger crowd(IF they're not too young). Worth a watch!
