Invasion of the Neptune men (1961) - 01 / 10

Or “invasion from another planet” as it was also called, or “Space greyhound” as its promotional title....original Japanese title is “Uchu Kaisoku-sen”

I don’t even know where to start on this movie, but I think IMDb’s description sums it up pretty well.



There really isn’t much more to say about.

The movie is from 1961, but looks like something that was made in the 1940s, maybe 1950s.

The aliens are clumsy & slow moving and are wearing what looks like a nosecone-shaped  1950s kitchenware/appliance on their head.

Their space ship looks like an oil / fuel filter they glued wings on to.

And then there’s some superhero who flys around in a jet car who makes random appearances too

And all this takes place while we are forced to watch a group of dumb and annoying kids in micro shorts run around and just walk right in to top secret military bases and laboratories like one would walk into a post office.

Yeah that’s really all there is to say about this cinematic pile of garbage.

Prince of space (1959) - 01 / 10

Aka. “Invaders from space”, aka “The Star Prince”,  aka “Planet prince”, aka “Invaders from the spaceship”.....

...yeah seriously, it had that many alternative titles.

Original Japanese title is “Yûseí ôji”

This is the kind of movie that makes me question my own sanity and what I am doing with my life.

It’s another space age B-Movie from Japan, the storyline / plot is something about aliens from a planet called “KrankKor” (which they keep pronouncing like “crank whore”) that wants to invade earth (for some reason) and then “The prince of space” randomly shows up to fight off the aliens.

And then there’s some sub plot about a scientist that has developed a new type of rocket fuel, and then the aliens kidnap him

And blah blah blah...

...to be honest I didn’t even finish watching the movie....I turned it off around an hour into the movie because I began considering taking my own life, just to put myself out of my own misery.

Everything about this movie is just bad, acting movie sets look cheap and space ships are literally toys hanging from a thin wire in front of a picture of stars (or dots more like).

....oh god what am I doing with my life *deep thoughts*


....the aliens are just people in halloween costumes with a long and obvious fake rubber nose

“The prince of space” is just a guy in another Halloween costume

And as usual in a Japanese B movie we are forced to have to watch a bunch of dumb and annoying kids throughout the movie

Someone else gave this a bad rating but I don’t remember who,
Escape Plan 2: Hades
We watched it lastnight I must say both me and Mrs say it sucked! It was nothing like the first one, the bad thing is #3 should be out soon, hopefully that’s more like the first!

Oh yeah, maybe a 2-3/10..

Top gun (1986) - 00 / 10

I don’t care if this is considered an 80s classic, I hate this movie!

3 times in my life have I tried to watch this movie and I just can’t finish watching it.

I find it extremely painful to sit through.

I can watch all this other cinematic garbage but Top Gun I just can’t get myself to finish watching

Dragged across concrete - 8/10  Just a good heist movie, recommended.

ffolkes (1980) ....or North Sea Hijack (original title) - 09 / 10

My dad wanted to watch this movie, so I figured why not, I have never heard of it before, but since Roger Moore was in it I figured it must have something to it.

And to my own surprise its actually a really good movie, the version I watched was recorded from Tv on to VHS and then from there digitalised, so it wasn't the best quality version of it a watched and the sound was out of sync too, but even with that I did enjoy the movie all the way through.

Its not a very overcomplicated movie and its not relying on crazy visuals or CGI, which I actually really like, because instead of trying waaayyy too hard to impress the audience with crazy visuals or over the top action, it takes a more serious approach, which is not only more realistic but also makes you take the movie more serious.

I think a lot of movies now a days should take note of this, because it makes the movie a lot more enjoyable and it doesn't feel "fake" at any point either.

Usually I can find several things to nitpick on or flaws to point out...(1) because I am an a**hole...(2) because I find the movie I am watching to be so far from reality that I not only think they should have spotted it themselves but also that I find it hard to take the movie seriously. However this was not the case with this movie.   

[MadPlumbarian]

Watched “The Meg” yesterday, was pretty good, kinda a newer “jaws” but bigger yet still good, I mean come on it had Jason Statham and Ruby Rose in it!
I’d give it a 7-8/10

The Mule (2018) - 09 / 10

I have always been a fan of Clint Eastwood movies, both young and old.....There is just that old school badass about him. Especially his old movies like Dirty Harry and Kelly's Heros where he is a total badass.....but even in his old days, I think his performance in Grand Torino was straight up gold, playing this badass old man.

He doesn't play a badass type in The Mule, but he still puts on that "no F**ks given, but remains likerable the whole movie" performance that that I like about him.

But on top of that I must say I really enjoyed the movie all the way through, there is no boring parts or scenes that drags on for too long, the movie has a really good flow to it, which I really like.

Bradley Cooper is also in the movie playing a DEA agent, and as always puts on a good performance. And of all people Laurence Fishburne is also in it. So alot of good names to the movie too.

[MadPlumbarian]

Started “Step Up”, the other day, we’re on #3 as I type, it’s on street dancing, it’s not my “thing” but a good film series, got 2 more to go after this one..

Warcraft - I thought it was good 8/10

Star Force: Fugitive Alien II (1987) - 00 / 10

Okay, so this is a straight to TV Japanese made movie, which is a sequel to another straight to TV made movie called “Fugitive Alien” which is based on a Japanese TV show called “Fugitive Alien”

So this in itself is already a bad recipe!

Just watching this movie for about an hour; all that has happened in the story is a ship (with misspelled control gauges e.g. “Temperature” is spelled “TENPERATURE”) has flown too close to something called “the meter star” which is pulling them towards it and the “TENPERATURE” keeps rising in the ship.....so the audience is forced to watch a bunch of Asian men in plastic suits get sweatier and sweatier...

Yup, an hour into the movie, and that is all that has happened.

I turned it off after an hour, so I have no idea what it ends with, but my god; not only is it bad and terribly acted but YYYYAAARRRRNNNN it’s boring!!!!

Oh yeah and all the space ship probs looks like something from Thunderbirds (which is from the 1960s).....actually the ones in thunderbirds looks better.

Whatever the lowest score / rating is possible to give a movie, this movie deserves it!!! ...if not even lower

Mighty Jack (1968) - 00 / 10

This is another of those "Straight for TV" movies based on a cheesy Japanese TV show...

I made it about 37 min into this movie before turning it off......and the last 10 min being me just skipping through it, just to see if something remotely interesting would actually happen....it didn't.

I can't really tell you what the movie is about as nothing is really explained in the movie, so I actually had to look it up on IMDb what the movie was even about..and it seems like IMDb is just as confused as I am....this is what it actually says on IMDb:

Espionage team "Mighty Jack", headquartered on a flying submarine, opposes the plans of Q, which is trying to take over the world using... um... ice that doesn't melt.

Okay so the whole time while I was watching this, I thought "Might Jack" was a person...and I didn't manage to catch the part where it was explained who these "Q" people are or why they are trying to take over the world using "ice that doesn't melt."?

Again nothing is really made clear or explained very well in this movie. there's no character introductions or development at all ...or I didn't notice any at least, because of how incredibly boring the movie really is....I just didn't even really care to be honest...

...What a piece of garbage...

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) - 03 / 10

I think I am being generous giving this a 3 out of 10.

I really don't understand why this movie was made,  George Lazenby gives what is quite possibly the worst James Bond performance I think ever..his acting is incredibly stiff, he doesn't come across as someone competent or like a man women would find charming, more like he has a look on his face the whole time as he has no idea about whats going on and his line deliveries sounds like he is just reading them out loud directly from the manuscript.

But on top of that, the whole way the movie is made, doesn't feel like a James Bond either. The whole way the story is told about James Bond befriending a Mob boss and dating his daughter, and at the same time trying to find and go after spectre, doesn't feel like you are watching a James bond movie at all.

Also I don't think Telly Savalas does a good job at playing Blofeld either, however I think he does a more convincing job at playing Blofeld than George Lazenby does at playing James Bond.

But the whole movie feels completely out of place following "You only live twice" (1967) and followed by "Diamonds are forever" (1971) both of where Sean Connery plays James Bond. Also in "You only live twice" Blofeld is played by Donald Pleasence, and it ends with Blofeld escaping, and then in the following movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" Blofeld is played by someone else (Telly Savalas) who plays the role completely different.....and then in "Diamonds are forever"  Blofeld is played by Charles Grey...whom also plays him completely differently.

Let me explain:
- Donald Pleasence as Blofeld: Stone cold, and completely ruthless.
- Telly Savalas as Blofeld: Has a lot more personality, and seems more like a gangster boss than a stone cold Super Vilan
- Charles Grey as Blofeld: Comes across well educated and posh, yet evil at the same time.

It's just one big cluster "fudge".

But again, I just don't understand why "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" was made, it just feels completely out of place in the whole series of James Bond movies.


I am giving it a 3 because if you ignore everything stated above and just watch it as "a movie", it is watchable and although George Lazenby is a terrible actor, the rest of the cast does a good job with what they had to work with.

Operation Double 007 or Operation Kid Brother or OK Connery (1967) - 02 / 10

I have never heard about this movie before, and I don't think anyone else have either....and for good reasons....it is a watered down version of James Bond made entirely for Italian TV.

Okay so the storyline goes something like....An evil organisation (which if this was a real James Bond would be called SPECTRE, but since this is discount spaghetti James Bond its called  "Thanatos") wants to take over the world (yeah that old cliche) and they are planing on doing so by using what is basically am EMP device but they call "magnetic wave generator" and cause all machines to shut down permanently. But for some reason James Bond is not available...so what do they do instead of just finding another actual agent....they of course go to James Bonds little brother who is a civilian and works as a hypnotist...and apparently he is also a surgeon and a lip reader....which is conveniently exactly the skills they are looking for to take down SPECTRE...excuse me Thanatos.


There are a lot of familiar 1960s James bond cast in the movie too...but for some reason EVERYONE has been renamed..

- James Bonds brother is called Neil Connery....and apparently that is his real name too...
- Bond girl....or in this case "Neil girl" is played by Daniela Bianchi whom also played bond girl in "From Russia with love"
- Cigar smoking Bad guy is played by Adolfo Celi, who played bad guy with eye patch aka Largo in "Thunderball"
- Bad guy who gets killed off in the first act.....is played by Anthony Dawson who played Bad guy who gets killed off in the first act aka "Professor Dent" in Dr. No.
- "M" ...or "Commander Cunningham" as he is called in this movie is played by Bernard Lee whom we know as "M" in the james Bond Movies
- Monneypenny aka "Target for Sexual harassment from 007" who for some reason is called "Max" in this movie is played by Lois Maxwell whom we know as Monneypenny aka "Target for Sexual harassment from 007" in the real James Bond movies.

But they have all been renamed in this movie even though they are playing the same role as in the real James Bond movies.


And just to be clear, this is not even remotely a good or even a decent movie, it is just as terrible as it sounds.

The shining (1980) - 10 / 10

(Yes it is actually possible for me to watch a good movie)


The shining is one of those movies that deserves all the credit it can get. This is one of those movies that will remain a cinematic masterpiece for as long as movies exist.

Everything about this movie is so well done that you really forget that you are watching a movie from 1980.

Movie sets are amazingly done, especially considering all the interior of the hotel were movie sets constructed at EMI Elstree studios in the UK...at no point does it look or feel like it’s a movie set, every interior shot / scene feels like it is inside a real hotel.

Acting is spot on perfect in this movie too...Jack Nicholson is just priceless in this movie and Shelley Duvall gives an outstanding performance too, and I must say Danny Lloyd is impressive too, especially considering he was only 5 - 6 years old during the filming of the movie.

What’s also impressive is that all blood, Gore, crazy zombie lady in room 237, and other scary scenes are all done using practical effects, and none of the look fake either, they are extremely well done.

Not just for a movie from 1980, but even by today’s standards.

The whole isolated atmosphere in the movie is extremely well done too, the sort of “you are being watched”, and “something is lurking in the shadows or around the corner” feeling remains constant throughout the movie too.

This movie really deserves to get top marks

Captain Marvel - 6/10 - Not a bad watch . I'm sure it will fill in some blanks for Endgame when it hit theaters a little later.

Aquaman - 6/10 - I redboxed this one. It was worth a dollar to see. It kills you with CGI and Willem Dafoe was there just for a paycheck. Fine acting there

  Was a decent movie but i am sure it will be one that you cannot watch anymore in 10 years because the CGI will look crappy.

The Highwaymen 

Difficult to rate, I watched to the end, which should put it at least at 7/10, but apart from the historical element of seeing the Bonnie & Clyde story from another angle it's not very entertaining.

[Gerhard Gerber]

Glass - 7/10 The weirdest superhero movie ever.....
 

[ezdog]

Atomic Blonde=7.5/10

What can I say......Charlize Theron!

She is a nasty British Secret Agent sent to Berlin as the Wall is coming down with a Mission to exfiltrate an East German who has memorized a list of the good guys agents and needs to be removed from the reach of the East.

She is Hot as usual and Half Naked or more in a few scenes and makes out with another Hot Agent and then goes around kicking everyones ass who gets in her way over and over!
She is one Bad Ass Agent!

The Soundtrack is also great if you remember this time in History especially and all of the music that it spawned!

What not to like?

Oh yeah and did I mention......Charlize Theron?

I keep watching it over and over.

[Gerhard Gerber]

I'm just "smurfing" with you - 6/10

6/10 is a low score, but if you're thusly inclined it's worth a watch....

Strange beast......an upbeat, fun and at times funny serial killer movie

The Highwaymen

I tend to agree. It's got all the ingredients to make a satisfying movie,but somehow fails

Escape Room - 8/10 Excellent movie, might even deserve a higher rating. 

Kept me on the edge of my seat, started to suspect they fluffed the ending.....but they pulled that off as well.

[MMR]

Captain Marvel (2019) - 00 / 10

It’s not a terrible movie, but it is so cliche that I felt like I had seen it before and knew exactly what it was going to end with before I watched it for the first time.

So much so that I was actually bored watching it

Even all the new characters in it, none are really likable or someone that one really ends up caring about, and they are all so cliche as well

Well this whole movie is just one big cliche!

Sorry but bring something new to the table, and not just a new avenger with the same basic backstory as the rest

Into the white (2012) - 10 / 10

I have never heard about this movie before someone at a recent meeting mentioned it, and it wasn’t easy to find either....I had to go as far as  to “legally” pull it off the dark web.

Anyway; I don’t know what I expected of it, but it far exceeded my expectations!

At no point was it boring or had any scenes that dragged on for too long.

And it’s also the kind of movie that doesn’t rely on  CGI to keep the audience entertained, as a matter of fact there’s no CGI in it at all.

A really well done movie that moves at a sort of slow but still entertaining paste.

Again; I had never heard of the movie before, but it really deserves to get some credit.

Seriously give it try, I would highly recommend it

i just binged watched Black Summer on Netflix. 8/10

Zombies! It's a beginning of a zombie outbreak and all sorts of survival situations are going down. The best and worst in people comes out.
I was surprised as it was a good season 1. The zombies are super nimble like 28 days later rage zombies.

Ok, “venom” I must say was a pretty cool movie, had a couple funny parts to it too, if you watch it you gotta keep playing after the first credits cause someone plays a very little part, just like that someone else who’s known for Marvel comics! A good 8/10!
