Skyscraper (2018)
Great? No. Good? Not Quite. Watchable? Very.
This is your basic, run-of-the-mill action film that probably suffers from taking itself a little too seriously. The "twists" in this movie are spoiled by some of the most predictable casting I've ever witnessed in film. Though, Neve Campbell is an inspired choice. She's surprisingly good and holds her own with Dwayne Johnson on screen. She plays the typical wife in peril, but yet isn't completely helpless. That's about the only interesting bit of a razor-thin plot. Despite that fact, it has enough flying bullets to entertain and does just enough to warrant a passing grade.
Dwayne Johnson is today's version of 80's Arnold Schwarzenegger, except with more charisma and better comedic timing. Kids love him, and adults do too, even if they won't admit it. He can do comedy. He can do action. I bet he could do a sappy drama too if given the chance.
Redneck Zombies (1989)
Horrible, horrible, horrible...
The die-hard lovers of all things Troma will likely want me burned at the stake. I have but one thing to say to them...a burning at the stake would be a welcome alternative to watching this movie. Never have I seen acting so horrible...never have I seen a script so wretchedly bad...and very few times have I lied awake in bed at night praying to regain the 2 hours of my wasted time that I will never get back...that is, until this movie.
Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1972)
Not too shabby...
I wasn't very impressed at the beginning of the film, but it definitely grew on me. And once I stopped staring at Alan's multicolored pants (get your mind out of the gutter), you can really get into the feel of the movie. As if under some kind of voodoo charm given off by my TV, I started liking this movie. The cemetery setting that was unimpressive at the start was now getting spookier. The actors playing actors seemed to come into their own, or I suppose they could have just been acting (??). And the music score which had initially annoyed me...well, still irritated me. Oh that's right, the score never really got any better. It's the only real downer, I think with a better one it could have added to the film's creepiness factor.
