Red Heat – 1988
It seems like you can pair up anybody in film now and chances are it’s going to work. It worked for Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte, Tom Hanks and, that dog! But Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Belushi? Now there’s a hell of a buddy cop combination, Schwarzenegger was coming off the back of a number of 80s action hits including Predator, Commando and the Running Man so he was on a bit of a roll. Big Arnie plays a Russian policeman sent after a Russian drug dealer who has escaped to the United States and is ...
The Fourth Kind – 2009
When the opening credits roll for The Fourth Kind you’re met with the ultra beautiful Milla Jovovich who states for the camera that she is the actress portraying Abigail Emily Tyler, the psychiatrist who is helping a number of clients that have insomnia and amnesia after seeing a mysterious white owl. When she uses hypnosis with two of the clients, they have nervous breakdown and violent attitudes with their discoveries, but they do not disclose what they have recalled. Jovovich concludes that “most of what follows is disturbing” That much might be true, but the rest of it is in fact ...
M. Night Shyamalan Hits Back With Devil
We’ve been waiting for time for the weird subconscious mind of M. Night Shyamalan to come back with something truly terrifying, and at last it looks like he’s pulled it off. When he first stepped into Hollywood with The Sixth Sense we cheered and jumped with joy that someone had stamped a solid ‘F’ on fear. However, he followed that up with Unbreakable which should have been titled Unbearable, seemingly pulled it back with Signs and totally lost the plot with The Village and even worse The Happening! With Devil Shyamalan is only producing and has handed the directorial reigns over to ...
A Nightmare on Elm Street – 2010
A lot of years have passed since Johnny Depp’s boyish face appeared in the 1984 original Nightmare on Elm Street. For some reason Hollywood thought it was time for a remake, or, if you wish, a “revamp” of the original movie. Hardcore “Nightmare” fans will find that it is impossible not to compare and contrast this new version to the old school one. But then most remakes follow along the same pattern, one is always going to be better or worse than the other. With sequels and remakes these days, the old Nightmare has been adapted to 2010 standards. So no more ...
Predators – 2010
Fans of the original Predator will no doubt have been excited to see the trailers for Predators, a script pulled from a filing cabinet in 1994 and given a 2010 make over by Robert Rodriguez, who produces, with Nimród Antal directing. It was always going to be hard to top Schwarzenegger's 1987 hit; John McTiernan had little special effects to work with but delivered an action/sci-fi masterpiece with a cast of mercenaries. When the sequel came along Schwarzenegger wanted no part of it, and so it was up to Danny Glover (I'm still getting to old for this shit) to battle ...
