Escape Plan 2: Hades (2018)
Laughed So Hard I Cried!
I don't know what all the 'negative fuss' is about. This is hands down the funniest comedy ever produced! An academy award would not do it justice. The laughs are virtually non stop. From the opening titles to the end credits tears of laughter would soak three rolls of toilet paper. Now I have nothing to wipe my ___ with.
For cryin' out loud, folks ( pun inteded ), give it up for "Escape Plan 2"! The funniest comedy of all time! Worth every penny of my hard earned fifteen bucks. And more!
What? Say that again. It's not a comedy? You gotta be kidding. You're not kidding. It's not supposed to be funny? Well I'll be damned. Fooled me.
Never mind then. ;-)))
The Mourning (2015)
A film with potential falls flat on its film can.
I gave this film a 3 because it looks slick, ( when the color timing is corrected ) the acting is decent ( somewhat ) and, and... and --. Well, that's about it. Perhaps the writer(s) director, or someone, anyone, might post a thought on what the hayseed this film is about. Who cares about the ending. Obviously the film makers didn't.
I was ( somewhat ) intrigued for the first ten or fifteen minutes then started talking to the screen to relieve frustration. Stuff like, "Ah, that's one spicy'a meatball!" And, "Mind if I smoke? I don't care if you burn! FIRE! FIRE IN THE THEATER!!" And then I woke up and realized it was all just a bad dream.
Now there's your ending, fellas! A bad dream! Just have Aaron wake up and reveal it was all just a bad dream! But just then, the CAMERA PULLS BACK and WE SEE Aaron, lying naked, back in the forest! Was it just a dream or...? PAN OVER to Rod Serling, standing stoic by a tall evergreen taking a drag off his Lucky Strike cigarette and...
ROD SERLING
Allow me if you will...
Family Reunion (1989)
Not bad for low budget
This film was obviously made for next to nothing. I've seen bigger budget films that were much worse. It's a good exorcise in 'down and dirty' film making. It creates a fair amount of 'ghostly tension' and managed to hold my interest. I especially liked the lack of blood and guts. But if that's what you like then wait for the final conflict. But just don't eat anything for at least an hour before ;-)
