Ernest in the Army- 0.5/5
I knew this one wasn't going to pull me out of my slump, but I gave it a shot anyway. And boy was I right! Remember a while back when I wrote my mini-review for Ernest Goes to School? If so, then you remember me saying that Ernest Goes to School was one of the last good Ernest movies. Well, sadly, I wasn't lying. I think my whole problem with this movie was that it was set in the army. This is not a place to put Ernest in. There were no laughs whatsoever and the film felt too serious at times. At least they didn't go down to this path: Ernest in Space. And so continues my movie slump. Ugh... |

The World Gone Mad
Not really sure what to say about this one, aside from I didn't like it much. The actors were all fine, there were a few laughs here and there. The ending wasn't too bad, but I suppose after the mess of a plot that came before it, that's not a huge feat. Half the time you have no idea what's going on, and by the time you might have a clue, you don't care anymore. This plods along at a pace most snails would be ashamed of, and I found myself fighting to stay awake the whole time. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a slow-paced movie, so long as it keeps your attention. This doesn't. Overall, is this a good movie? No, not really. Could it cure insomnia? I wouldn't be surprised. 3.5/10 |

Doomed to Die
As far as mystery B-movies go, you cant go "Wong" with this one. Karloff returns once again as the famous Chinese detective James Lee Wong to solve the murder of a shipping tycoon. What seems like an open and shut case to Capt. Street (Grant Withers) quickly becomes a web of deceit, lies and murder! I've only seen two Wong films, this and "The Fatal Hour", but I really enjoyed them both, largely due to Capt. Street and his "sidekick" reporter Bobbie Logan. The banter between them is cliché, but often pretty funny anyway. They have great chemistry together on screen. Karloff is, of course, great as Wong. I loved his entrances from the most unlikely places, such as windows or fire escapes. The plot was pretty straight forward, though it was full of red-herrings and false suspects that made the conclusion a bit hard to guess. Not that that's a bad thing mind you, I quite enjoyed the ending. To sum up, I recommend this as well as the slightly better "Fatal Hour" as two of the best mystery B-movies you'll find out there. 8/10 |
