An interesting idea
I remember seeing a trailer for this film when it was first released, and as didn’t play at my local cinema I hadn’t seen anything from it since until it popped up on Netflix recently.

It’s a very interesting idea and a great take on the traditional monster movie. Without going into too much detail, this film really doesn’t pan out the way I was expecting. It took me a little while to adjust to this, but I actually really enjoyed it and the ending was beyond satisfying. It was great to see Jason Sudeikis play something other than his usual type of comedy character, and Anne Hathaway was wonderful as always. I do think Dan Steven was ridiculously underused and they really could’ve given him a much better part.

The effects are a tad dodgy at times but given the low budget, it’s not a massive surprise or issue. I do think there are some slightly irritating plot holes and it does drag a little at times, but overall still a rather good film and a refreshing change to the traditional “Godzilla” style films.

I liked this quite a bit more than I thought I would. I think this movie has the distinction of being the very first I rated on Smashbomb! 😊

360. Eli. I dug it! I went in blind with this one. Saw new release horror on Netflix, I said yes please. So it starts out with a Bubble Boy senario, 500 dolla!! You want 500 dolla?? Sorry. Little Eli has some issues, he has to live in a bubble, due to an auto-immune disorder. If he breathes air, he dead. Luckily his parents care and find him a doctor thats doing some off the grid experimental stuff, oh and the hospital they take him to seems to be haunted, no biggie. While there, the treatments well just seem to be making him worse, but to help him through feeling like crap he meets, this random redhead that seems to only come out at night befriends him, and supports him when he starts to feel things aren't right. Stranger Things have happened... ;) And the longer Eli stays, the worse he feels, but he also knows that something ain't right, and maybe he's not sick at all? Maybe the doctor wants to kill him, his parents?? But...why???? Pretty creepy flick. Didn't know what to expect so I liked the outcome. I say, do. Filmbufftim on FB

feel-good that makes you feel good (0 more)

Let me paint you a picture. It's day 39 of quarantine. My roommate and I are working our way through my Netflix list and he's never seen Click. I think, oh my gosh, I love this film we have to watch it. Little did I know, I forgot how it ends. So we get to the last 20 minutes of the film and Michael dies outside the hospital and I am bawling my eyes out - ugly crying, hysterical, the world is ending, I'm losing it. I call my mom to calm down but it doesn't really work that well. I'm still just CRYING like a maniac. We finish the film and I end up crying even more because he lives and it was just a dream and he gets a chance to live the life he truly wants.

Needless to say, I liked this film. Obviously it's cheesy and a bit dumb, given that it's an Adam Sandler film, but I still enjoyed it. It pulls at the heartstrings, makes you laugh, it's a feel-good that will make you feel good.

I watched this documentary on netflix and found it very interesting. It was very sad to watch her deteriorate though. What I did find annoying though was how it kept going backwards and forwards in years, it would have made more sense to show her years in order as it was very confusing at times. We also see that cissy Houston was not a very nice mother at all, her interview with Oprah was both shocking and disgusting. For years I always blamed bobbi brown for her getting into drugs when I had no idea she had been dabbling in drugs long before she met him, he didn't exactly help her though and pretty much encouraged her drug use to the point if no return and ill never see him in a good light because if that, and the fact he pushed her best friend away and belittled Whitney when she was already feeling low 😔. If you was a Whitney fan and feel like you've seen everything any documentary has to offer, then give this a go. You might be surprised at what you find out.
