Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
The Ghostbusters are back and they are dealing with a entity that wants to freeze the Earth. It's not as bad as the critics are saying it is and it does go into teenage angst where McKenna Grace's character befriends a ghost. Again there is the nostalgic throwback of Walter Peck's comeback as well as the possibility of other legacy characters coming back for any potential Sequels.
I just hope that they don't do a Creed and eliminate the original characters.
Turkey Shoot
Australian Exploitation Film that sees Steve Railsback amongst others sent to a Re-Education Camp that is run by sadistic guards who want to hunt some of the Prisoners along with some rich civilians. I've always liked this one, it delivers what is promised.
Surprised this hasn't been released on Blu-Ray over here.
A Time To Die
Traci Lords is on Community Service as a Police Photographer but she photographs a dirty Cop committing Murder and has to go on the run. Richard Roundtree steals the show. This is one of PM Film's earliest efforts and boy this is so boring, it is very slow and there isn't much Action. PM Films have done way better Films.
Darwin Awards
Joseph Finnes is a former Police Analyst with a phobia of blood who goes on a road journey with Winona Ryder to investigate The Darwin Awards (Described as people who improve the Gene Pool by accidentally removing themselves from it) it's a Indie Type Film with the recreations of the accidents being really funny. It's not too bad if you come across it.
Day Of The Dead
George A. Romero's 3rd classic Zombie Film that is still as violent, gory and bloody as ever. It's been said that it ran out of budget, if that is the case, then I believe that it's done them a favor as the tight closed quarters enhance the tension between the Scientists and Soldiers.
And Rhodes's Death is still one of the best.
Escape From New York
New York is now a Prison and when the President Of The U.S.A. lands there, Kurt Russell is sent to rescue him. Haven't seen this in a very long while and it was still entertaining. Issac Hayes plays the lead villain.
Hired To Kill
Brian Campbell is a Mercenary sent to Country in order to overthrow a Dictator posing as a Fashion Photographer with a rag tag bunch of female Soldiers who were Prisoners poising as the Models. This is one of Nico Mastorakis efforts that is ok, nothing to write home about, Campbell is more suited as a Henchman. George Kennedy and Oliver Reed co-star.
Brewster's Millions
Richard Pryor is challenged to spend 30 Million in 30 days without telling anyone nor keeping anything. I've always liked this one, it's funny, interesting to see how it's spent as well as the pathos of people being angry with him for spending crazily as well as being concerned for him.
On a side note, Legend are showing the rather entertaining Gary Busey Film, Eye Of The Tiger
And I need to post my reviews more regularly instead of once a week lol.
