Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[The_Return]

Flightplan


This movie could be renamed "Quickchange". Not only does it fit with parts of the plot, it fits with a lot of things. First off, it fits with Jodie Foster's acting. She starts off calm, cool and happy...then before you can say "lost kid" she goes completely insane. No slow descent into panic, she's there right off the start and doesn't let up until the end. Another way that "Quickchange" could apply is to how fast the film pulls itself out of the gutter. The first hour and ten minutes or so are awful, full of idiotic characters, poor acting, obvious twists and even a couple plot holes. All of a sudden however, things start to change. A twist is introduced that actually makes sense and that I actually didn't see coming. The acting becomes at least bearable, Foster tones herself down quite a bit, thankfully. All in all, this isn't a bad movie. It really picks up near the end, don't give up too fast!

7/10

PS - Was anyone else reminded of The Lady Vanishes? Much better film, but this reminded me of it in parts.

No way. The Punisher was one of the better late 80s action/revenge flicks. Its a underated classic in my opinion. I dug how it had a really sadistic female villian. I was a big fan of action flicks in the 80s and this is still one I enjoy watching.

I just rewatched Crumb. I've been checkin' out documentries latley and this is still one of my favorites.

Loved Dolph as The Punisher, didn't think it was a poor choice at all.

It Happened at Nightmare Inn

Oh man. This particular horror movie 4 pack (Hell in the Family) stinks! So far, the three films I've watched from it have all been terrible! And not "good" or "funny" terrible either, just terrible terrible. This one was no exception although the plot was slightly better than the first two (It's almost laughable that this plot could be better than anything, but it is.) No gore, bad acting, pretty lame plot....

Poseidon...

The movie has more than decent effects but the original had better performances, esp from Gene Hackman. If you loved the original, its worth a look, just for the effects and the deaths.

High points - Deaths and Gore, Direction, Effects.
Low points - Performances, Old story rehashed, Pales in comparison to the original, Repeated Sequences, Predictable.

Rating - 06/10

Single White Female- 0/5

Horrible! No good performances (Bridget Fonda's weakest performance), the appearance of Steven Weber almost made me puke my guts out (almost), and the story was boring, repetitive, and slow. I still don't see how this got a sequel. Well, the sequel was direct-to-video. So, I guess I feel a little bit better. Just a little bit better.
