Zombie Strippers! (2008) - Review

Plot : In the not too distant future a secret government re-animation chemo-virus gets released into conservative Sartre, Nebraska and lands in an underground strip club. As the virus begins to spread, turning the strippers into "Super Zombie Strippers" the girls struggle with whether or not to conform to the new "fad" even if it means there's no turning back.

Review : Yes I know this was going to be crap, and yes I still watched it.

Instantly the film has a very cheesy feel and look, plus the acting isn't the best. If your a guy you will probably love the stripper scenes, as you get occasional full nudity but 90% its topless.

I cant really say too much about the film, as there really isn't much to it. I was bored with it and I watched to the end, for me this is one I wouldn't recommend.

Overall I cant say that I enjoyed the film or hated it, it just was boring and crap. The only good thing in it was the occasional adult joke, one that i thought was very funny was the ping pong ball scene.

My Rating : 3 out of 10

Bitch Slap (2009) - Review

Plot : Three bad girls travel to a remote desert hideaway to steal $200 million in diamonds from a ruthless underworld kingpin.

Review : So this was my random film of the week, the poster looked interesting.. the plot well hmm but I thought I would give it a chance.

The film has a very low budget feel and look very cheap, the film uses a lot of green screen so it doesnt look 100% real.

The acting is just as bad, though the film does have a few good points.. probably mostly for guys. The 3 girls who are the bad girls trying to steal the diamonds are very attractive. The one I though was the nicest and most attractive was Trixie (Julia Voth), she was the cutest.

The film as a whole feels like a bad porno movie, but a porno movie that doesnt have sex, nudity etc etc. The camera zooms in on all the girls best parts.. there are a lot of slow motion boob bouncing and random lets throw water on each other scenes.

Overall it wasnt a great film, but these boob shots etc saves it every so slightly. Not one I would recommend or see again.

Shinjuku Incident (San suk si gin) (2009) - Review

Plot : The Shinjuku Incident is the rare flm that breaks from the local genre mold by tackling a controversial topic – the lives of illegal Chinese workers in Japan. Jackie Chan, in a highly anticipated and rare dramatic role, stars as Steelhead, an honest tractor repairman who illegally enters Japan to search for his missing girlfriend. When he arrives, he is plunged into the shady world of crime and poverty, where survival matters above all. But his struggle to retain his decency becomes increasingly complex when he is unwittingly drawn into the realm of the yakuzas.

Review : I was really looking forward to this film, as ever since New Police Story I started to enjoy Jackie Chan's more serious roles. I saw the trailer for this and just thought hmmm, but I decided to give it a shot.

The film at parts is very violent, and very dark which helped create a nice dark mood to the film. At points the film slowed way down, and was getting to the bored stage so it didn't keep me thinking whats going to happen next.

Overall I was disappointed with the film, at parts i was really bored but lucky the action parts and the drama scenes made up for it. Jackie Chan did a great job, and his acting was great…though its not one I would get on DVD.

Alice In Wonderland (2010) - Review

Plot : 19-year-old Alice returns to the magical world from her childhood adventure, where she reunites with her old friends and learns of her true destiny: to end the Red Queen's reign of terror.

Review : I am not a big Tim Burton fan, nothing against him just never really liked his films too much. I did enjoy the Planet of the Apes remake and his animations but film wise..just so so.

Parts of the film felt too long, and could have been cut down a little as I was starting to get a little bored at bits. The parts that did flow nice, were good not amazing but enjoyable.

The 3D effect did and didn't help, there were a lot of parts that felt its been done 3D just to be 3D where other parts felt flat at times. It felt like they rushed it in 3D, as it could have been done a lot better.

The film as a whole was just ok, there wasn't one part where I would say I enjoyed it more than another part. The visual effects were good, but nothing that will blow you away like Avatar did.

Overall was just ok, expected something a lot better and I wont be seeing it again or getting it on DVD.

Edge Of Darkness (2010) - Review 

Plot : As homicide detective Thomas Craven investigates the death of his activist daughter, he uncovers not only her secret life, but a corporate cover-up and government collusion that attracts an agent tasked with cleaning up the evidence.

Review : I saw the trailer for this, and for some reason I was sure I had seen it before….so I decided to give it a watch just in case i was wrong.

I had seen this, well the story as the film was a remake of a UK production so throughout I had the feeling that it was very familiar.

The film was good, I wouldn't see it again but it was good. There were points where the story really dragged and could have been shorter, but when the action was taking place it was really good.

All the murder/death scenes you do not see coming, especially the 1st one.

Overall the film could have been a lot better, and some scenes shorter so just an OK from me.

My Rating : 7 out of 10
