Just thought I'd go through the films lovefilm/amazon have sent me this month.
Gone Fishin' - Poor comedy that has a slight sparkle because Joe Pesci and Danny Glover have a good chemistry.
For Richer, For Poorer - Poor comedy that has no sparkle because Tim Allen and Kirsty Alley have no chemistry.
Swearing Allegiance - TV movie that's got a good (based on a) story behind it, whether it's worth watching, not so sure.
Starkid - Very poor film that seemed to be trying to launch a franchise or TV show.
Vegas Vacation - Possibly the weakest of the vacation films, few giggles but not much else.
Shadow Conspiracy - Awful, awful Charlie Sheen vehicle.
Kiss The Girls - Nice and creepy, a bit silly by the end and I saw the twist coming, enjoyable nontheless. Ashley Judd puts in a cracking performance.
Diary Of A Serial Killer - Until the last third this is a cracking film, lovely turns from Nick Nolte and Arnold Vosloo. The last third just gets a little paint by the numbers and a little humdrum.
Truth Or Consequences, N.M. - Kiefer Sutherland stars and directs. It's small in scale, but has a few notable performances, particularly Gallo & Williamson. Story has been told before, perhaps better, doesn't mean this ain't worth a watch.
Darkman III : Die Darkman Die - Schlocky nonsense, yet I like it, as bad as it is.
Princess Monoke - Beautiful to watch Japanese animation that puts an adult spin on Ferngully.
Liar - Tim Roth, Chris Penn and Michael Rooker put in great performances, but ifelt like I was watching a play and would prefer to see it that way. Not sure if it's based on a play though.
Bound - Modern take on a film noir, small scale, well worth a watch.
The Jackal - I enjoyed it, Bruce Willis was top notch in this. Having said that, I'm not sure it's a good film.
The Peacekeeper - Dolph Lundgren at his worst/best, kind of shows why JCVD was the B-movie action star of choice in this dull film.
The Siege - Really good story, can't say I enjoyed the film at all though, excluding a great performance from Tony Shalhoub.
Armageddon - First time I've seen this. Very entertaining piece of sh*t. Think that about sums it up.
