The Crush (1993)

7.8/10. A pretty decent thriller and good start for Alicia Silverstone into mainstream movies.

9.7/10. Possibly the best of the Pink Panther Trilogy. Closeau at his best with Dreyfus at his nuttiness as they both wreak havoc across Europe. I'd say for anyone asking me why this one's the best of the three it's probably because Peter Sellers gives it his all and extra here the most.

6.6/10.Probably the second weakest entry of the franchise behind Ernest Saves Christmas. It's still a decent watch and doesn't try to insult its audience's intelligence the way too many kid movies do nowadays.

9.4/10.A pretty good apocalyptic/sci fi movie about people dying from a comet passing through our sky at night. Its creepy atmosphere of deserted streets would, to me, inspire the movies 28 Days Later and I Am Legend. Definitely a must watch for fans of these types of movies.

6.9/10.The third best of what I consider a trilogy of The Pink Panther movies. For me it's just The Return Of The Pink Panther, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, and Revenge Of The Pink Panther. It's what I consider to be a nice conclusion to a trilogy and the last time Peter Sellers played the hilarious Inspector Jacques Closeau.

Freaky (2020)

8.8/10. A fun little romp and a loving nod, I felt, to both the Friday the 13th and Halloween franchises. A pretty good movie from Blumhouse.

Bruised (2021)

6.2/10. A not bad movie for Halle Berry surprisingly. I find myself wanting to get it on DVD as soon as possible. Given Gothika and Catwoman for example, it's a surprise to see her doing a decent movie. Sure it's just a black woman in UFC version of Rocky, the umpteenth ripoff of a beloved sports movie but what the heck? It beats some of the stuff Berry's done before as she actually does a decent job taking us on an emotional coaster. I found myself impressed with Valentina Shevchenko's performance too. She's pretty convincing, not a bad guy for the real bad guy here is the life choices Jackie Justice, Berry's character, has made. I honestly found it decent though it seemed to slow down too much at times and, like I said, a little too much like Sylvester Stallone's Rocky.

4/10. Eh kind of remake although Rene Russo's still a bombshell.Her character being like a hippie while Dennis Quaid's being a serious military man screams rip off of that forgettable 90's sitcom Major Dad with similar characters.

9.6/10. Pretty decent family fun oriented movie with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda doing a great job.

Chopping Mall (1986)

9.5/10.Love this movie.True it's a little cheesy but fun.I found the biggest problem being is these robots having lethal lasers when they should come with stun ones instead. After all, anyone hurt or killed by these robots relatives could sue the mall owners. The atmosphere was chilling as the group of 20 somethings tried their best to survive a night against three run amok robots. Just good fun.

Anaconda (1997)

4/10. An OK that suffers from the presence of Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube, and Jon Voight.

6.7/10. Decent movie if you're a fan of the show though I get sick of the overuse of The Joker.

Till Death (2021)

9.5/10. A pretty good Megan Fox movie and the first one I've gotten that was shown on Netflix. True she's done some stinkers like Jonah Hex and The Dictator. But she's done some good stuff like TMNT and Jennifer's Body. The atmosphere, her cuffed to her dead husband for most of the movie, very well done.

Batman Beyond (1999)

8/10. Decent show. It holds up the Batman mythos well and shows proper respect.

Rob245

8.9/10. A pretty good horror movie from the early days of the 80's slasher craze. The setting of most of the killings being in a mine is chilling. It seems the only way out of this hell is by death. I liked the look of The Miner. He just seemed more like a boogeyman with no sign of life or humanity in him. When we see his actual face it's almost as chilling as he shows no signs of emotion much less regret over his rampage of carnage.

Intruder (1989)

8/10. Pretty decent slasher movie also of the late 80's. Creatvie setting being a grocery store. I found the whole cast pretty decent and they pull it off well.

Rob245

6.7/10.Decent slasher of the late 80's. The setting of a department store at night's pretty OK though not as good as good as the much better Chopping Mall and The Initiation, two horror movies which were similarly set though in shopping malls. The weak link here is Zack the Gimp, guy into leather and being dominated, who's the killer. Why would he think these kids were coming between him and his ex cell mate Frank? Kind of bizarre. Still a decent watch.

Prehistoric Women (1967)

9.4/10. Another brilliant movie from Hammer Studios in the 60's. Martine Beswick owns the movie here as Kari, Queen of the oppressive dark haired women who rule over the blonde women. She just oozes evil as the character as she alternates between evil and genuine love for Michael Latimer's David Marchent. Hammer Studios can be proud of their legacy of turning out just as good horror movies as the American Universal Studios did. Well done.

Demolition Man (1993)

8.9/10. Easily one of Stallone's best movies and one his two best of the 90's, the other being Lock Up.

Personal Best (1982)

9.5/10. A darn good movie that took the backdrop of the USA's boycott of the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics and made a pretty good story out of it. Mariel Hemingway shows she can act and has great potential as her character of Chris Cahill who's also undergoing a lot to make it on the team. I enjoyed the good chemistry she had with Patrice Donnelly, an actual track star, who plays her team mate and brief girlfriend Tory Skinner. I disagreed with them being broken up but Desert Hearts would be the movie that showed two people of the same gender can be in love and that it's not a phase. Personally I would've given Mariel Hemingway almost any acting award as she earned it and all the praise she got for this movie.
