Eyewitness (1981) I was expecting to really enjoy this noir-ish thriller from Bullitt director Peter Yates, however i actually found it really dull and lacking much in the way of thrills. It's only real plus point was how pretty Sigourney Weaver looked. |

Watched these 3 , which is often called the genesis trilogy. Khan returns and sets his sites on getting revenge on Kirk for the death of his wife, he steals the genesis device, Kirk shouts KHHHAAAAN! And Spock saves the enterprise at the cost of his own life, the crew steal the enterprise and set out too find Spocks body whom has been brought back to live by the genesis wave the enterprise is destroyed and Kirk fights Doc Brown and finally they go back to 20th century to get some humpback whales to save the future from a probe that's destroying the earth. Was a lot added detail to uniforms etc with the 4k transfer and more natural skin tones and colours but we had a lot of scenes in the three movies with soft focus. I might of said this before but originally Eddie Murphy was going to be in The Voyage Home playing the marine biologist, good knows how this would of turned out. Now watching what many consider the worst star trek, but I've always had a soft spot, it's not perfect and has a lot problems but it has it charms. |

The Mist. 2007. A freak storm unleashes a strange mist where a group of people trapped in a supermarket try to fight of blood thirsty creatures, while tensions mount up on what to do....fight or flight. Only Stephen King can come up with something like this and Frank Darabont is able to deliver what King had envision in his head, even the master of terror once said he was terrified of his own adaptation when he saw it for the first time. The acting in this is brilliant, nobody goes OTT or try to outshine everyone else, it's like the director just said "how would you react in a real situation"people wanting to go, others wanting to stay and in times like these there is always someone religious who thinks Judgement day has come. This is one of the few films where CGI was used and created decently and very little background score was used except The Host Of Seraphim was used that gives that apocalyptic feeling with the ending of the film that still is still unbelievable to happen. movieposter_en.jpg

Best Of The Best 4 In a Film that I didn't know existed until I saw it in the Best Of The Best set sees Tommy Lee inadvertently be given a disk containing U.S. Currency designs that Russian Mobsters, led by Tobin Bell want back therefore kidnap his Daughter. Ernie Hudson and Paul Gleason co-star in a somewhat decent effort but certainly far away from the first two B.O.T.B Movies. This is more like a P/M Entertainment release. Overall a really good Blu-Ray set with 2 really entertaining Movies with 3 and 4being watchable but only connected by the fact that Tommy Lee was a character in them. Picture quality was better than expected (As I was expecting a DVD to Blu-Ray transfer) Born To Fight Steve Austin is a High School Janitor who helps train a bullied Teen in Boxing so he can take on his abuser. Yes this is a version of The Karate Kid (Or the Billy Blanks Film, Showdown for the Fight Film Connoisseurs out there) again decent enough but not essential watching. |

The Lost Coast Tapes (2007, Corey Grant) Somewhat similar to Exists, a group of debunkers travel to a secluded location to meet with a man who claims to have something rather concrete in the sasquatch evidence stakes. The "presenter" was a total arse, so could not wait to see him go in the grinder, so to speak Somewhat more grounded than ... the last one, it does go a tad doolaly at the end ... ho hum.

I do have both this and Exists and to tell you the truth whilst a fun watch at the time they do tend to blend into one. One of the very worst bigfoot films was Goldthwaite's film. I was really looking forward to that but really didn't get on with it. |

The Aftermath. 1982 Two astronauts return to earth after a year in space only to discover the earth was involved in a nuclear war, with a gang running the street, a band of people try to survive their onslaught and mutants. Calling this a B movie may be a insult to other B movies, big man Sid Haig plays Cutter who runs the gang the pillages places and kills those he finds alive for sport mostly men. Steve Barkett writes and directs this film and also plays the main lead who finds survivors and tries to help them with Cutter and his minions. This is one of those films that is sooo bad yet somewhat good. with the homage of Planet Of The Apes and The Omega Man. 25444605_sa.jpg
