Sarah (7800 KP) rated Interview with the Vampire (1994) in Movies
May 17, 2020
As vampire tales go, I'd be inclined to say this is one of the classics and definitely one of the better vampire films I've seen even considering it's age. It has a great gothic and chilling feel to it, and has a very interesting plot. It has some slightly dodgy CGI moments but fortunately due to it's age relies more on some rather decent physical effects. There's a great cast in this, although I'm rather polarised on their performances. Tom Cruise seems a little too OTT yet Brad Pitt seems too reserved, even considering Louis's character.
This film also does a decent job of adapting the book. The book I found rather long winded at times and the film helps summarise the main story without being too drawn out. Although there were a few times when it felt like the film had missed out a little too much of the detail.
Overall this is a decent daptation of the book and a worthy example of a great vampire flick.
LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018) in Movies
Sep 30, 2020
A few things I liked...
- The fracking company were moustache twirling type villains, and were fairly amusing in the tiny amount of screentime dedicated to them.
- The CGI for the monsters is pretty decent, and the practical effects for close ups are also good.
- The whole final act when the monsters eventually turned up was effectively entertaining
But....
It takes a painfully long time to get to that bit. The hour plus of runtime preceding the monsters attacking is mostly boring setup, messy pacing and dialogue and a waste of a good cast.
The younger cast are fine, but it's hard not to feel that Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Margot Robbie and Michael Sheen are just severely under utilised, in a sometimes humorous comedy that is trying ball achingly hard to be an Edgar Wright movie.
Slaughterhouse Rulez isn't awful by any means, more accurately frustrating because it feels like a much better movie is buried somewhere beneath the final product.
Awix (3310 KP) rated Terrordactyl (2016) in Movies
May 25, 2020 (Updated May 25, 2020)
A bit overlong even at only 95 minutes, but there is the odd funny line, a sort-of coherent plot, and various attractive young people, the female ones in tight tops. But neverthless: back when special effects were routinely awful, film-makers worked hard to make their stories and characters seem credible; now any goon with a laptop can do decent CGI, the default mode seems to be 'let's not get caught taking ourselves remotely seriously'. Some kind of creative cowardice is in operation at some point in the making of a film like this one. Sample line of dialogue, after one of the female characters is eaten: 'You reptilian asshole! I was about to get laid!' Casablanca, eat your heart out.
