Showed mate Lemora: A Child's Tale Of the Supernatural, to which he was suitably drawn in by. Regaled him with the difference in quality betwixt this, the lovely Synapse dvd, and my crappy precert vhs. Ahem. He wanted to watch Rollerball (75, natch) but I wasn't in the mood....so we watched (see tv thread)

Pulse 2 turned off half way through the film was just a complete mess, felt like they didn't know what they wanted to do with the film or where is was going, didn't make much sense, badly acted and terrible storyline, and made even worse the fake background etc stuck out like a sore, not sure if I want to bother with 3 which is a shame because first one was a pretty decent film,

Possible Spoilers! The Corpse Grinders (1971) Cheap 70's horror (?) which sees a pet food manufacturer turn out an expensive new cat food 'Lotus'. Made from the corpses of the dead that are robbed from the cemetary or those of murdered bums. But the taste of human flesh send the moggies into a frenzy! If one word was to decribe this movie it would have to be Crap!........or Cat Crap!

Snow White And The Huntsman - 2012 UK/US d: Rupert Sanders A pretty poor fantasy effort frustratingly made all the worse for having some good elements. It looks pretty thanks to some fine locations and sets and decent camerawork. Some of the support cast are OK too. But then... ...Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth (especially Hemsworth and his pointless and nation wandering accent; the man has even fewer expressions than Stewart) are just dreadful actors and asking them to carry a film of this size is preposterous. Had everything else about the film been perfect their presence would still have scuppered it. But everything else isn't perfect. The pacing is all over the place, ponderous then rushed and all points in between. Also so much of it is derivative of things you have seen before (mostly things directed by Peter Jackson...), there is nothing to make you sit up and take notice. It's not utterly dreadful, it remains watchable and is a good couple of rungs above that other fairy tale adaptation, the risible Red Riding Hood, but it's still a poor film scarcely worth the time. And I am amongst those who found the way the dwarfs were done rather tasteless and uncomfortable. |
