Various Genres of movie reviews
The Pack (2015) Review
Well filmed with an excellent cast but it takes itself too seriously and lets itself down when it comes to genre standards.
Movie Genres
Defiance (2008) Review
It is not that easy to make a mainstream Holocaust film, release it in December, and get no nominations* for Golden Globes or Oscars. Defiance is trying too hard.
Blade: Trinity (2004) Review
After two better than we deserved films, the third Blade is a mess.
The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Review
I know since it won a bunch of Oscars people like to call it a thriller but one character eats people, and another skins them alive and wears their skin as an outfit. I am going to go with a horror film for this one.
Scratch: The New Sound of Terror (2004) Review
Scratch is a real treat for those that enjoy their creature features.
GoldenEye (1995) Review
While Goldeneye is better remembered for the videogame it spun off than the movie itself it remains Pierce Brosnan’s strongest outing and a very entertaining film in its own right.
RoboCop (1987) Review
Robocop is that rare eighties film that seems to only get better with time.
Rampo Noir (Ranpo jigoku) (2005) Review
The films have virtually nothing to do with each other in tone and are not strong enough to stand on their own. They do remind me of Zardoz. A film to show your jaded friends who think they have seen everything.
Abigail’s Party (1977) Review
Truth be told these people would be miserable no matter what class they were in and like a trapped guest I was looking to leave Abigail’s Party as soon as I could.
The Last Samurai (2003) Review
I still recommend The Last Samurai highly however as a thinking mans action movie.
