Vancouver: No Fixed Address (2017)
Charlie, The Druuuuuug Deeeeealerrrrrrrrr!!!
Yet another stooge from 6-toe county Alberta livin' off his mother in-laws money.
Ask this man what he does for a living and he thinks it's clever to reply by saying "I'm a drug dealer." As an anecdote, this has been told many times. One day, another stooge will come looking to find where Charlie, the 'Drug Dealer' lives and possibly mistake a neighbours house for his. Not too clever now, hey, Charlie?!
Time of Death (2013)
Don't Risk Wasting 2hrs of Your Life You'll Never Get Back
It took only 10 minutes into this film to see this was going to be a total waste of time. Right from the start when the title credits were rolling by I could see this was one of yet another of a plethora of Canadian films that are poorly written with sub par acting and are of low production quality overall. While I did not watch beyond the first 10 minutes, I am suspicious of any positive reviews and believe they may possibly be associated with members of the cast or crew.
I Accuse (2003)
Crumby Canadian made for TV movie
Don't waste your time. It's loosely based on the true crime perpetrated by a doctor on one of his patients. What is unfortunate about this film is that the producers changed the facts probably just enough so they would not have to pay the actual victim, Candice Foley, for the rights to her story. This true story is accurately portrayed in the documentary series "True Crime: The First 72 Hours" which airs on National Geographic Channel. You get all the facts in riveting detail and in less than half an hour. Also, Lona Manning penned a very good article on this case, "Rapist, MD", which you can read at crimemagazine.com, an excellent site with substantial information of criminal, legal, and judicial content.
The Amityville Horror (1979)
Bad Script, Bad Directing, and Bad Acting - more comedy than horror
This movie was more comedy than horror. The realtor showing the house to George and Kathy Lutz could be mistaken for Mrs. Doubtfire, or Scott Thompson in drag (Kids in the Hall). James Brolin as George Lutz appears in an apparition as a cheap looking Satan with horns. The facial expressions of all adult characters are comedic as they try to convey the terror they are experiencing. The only true expression of horror comes when George takes a swing at wife Kathy (Margot Kidder) with an axe. The shriveled look on her face as she lets out a finger nail on the blackboard scream is truly terrifying - I would not want to wake up next to that...bluuuuhhh. The little girl, Amy, and dog Larry, are the best actors in this cheap and poorly made film which fails to tell with any accuracy the Lutz family's actual experiences as occupants of the Defeo murder house. Director Stuart Rosenberg must have been an Ed Wood prodigy.
