Jackpot (1992)
I was...moved
I was flicking through the channels one day when all of a sudden i stumbled upon an unknown Christopher Lee movie. Now, ive never been a fan of kids in movies but this is an exception. I was particularly moved by Ian Khoo's performance, which was at times subtle, comedic, and generally touched me in places i never knew i had. Unknown Khoo plays Hard, and steals the film from the other kids in the movie as well as as Lee, he really is one to watch out for and, though he hasnt got any other listings, im sure he is to have a promising career in the movie business. Dont let this great actor go to waste any longer, he made this movie
The Sixth Sense (1999)
That ending was unbelievable!!! Meaning i didnt buy it.
The Sixth Sense is the most overrated film is years - it is a rehash of every horror movie prior. Opened drawers all of a sudden (= poltergeist switching chairs with drawers), dead people walking around (=zombie movies - anything!). The kid is good but Bruce Willis doesnt show any emotions at all. A good performance they all say - what did he do but walk around solemnly. What is so good about this movie? The ending they all say. SPOILERS: So Bruce Willis never once had a shower in sixth months and noticed the bloody-big bullet hole in his chest rubbing that stinging soap into his gaping wound? He never once went to buy some groceries and wondered why the shop assistant didnt demand or take his money - just ignored him? He never talked to his wife once? He didnt think how rude Toni Collette was for not talking to him? She let him into her apartment and sat opposite him not doing anything at all. Either Willis is retarded or this movie blows. I think the latter. Ive given a low rating to bring this average down. Its not that i rank this movie alongside Streetfighter, Mac and Me, and The Secret Agent club, its not that bad. Its just that its not that good either and im annoyed about everyone going on and on and on about it all the time. Ciao.
Street Fighter (1994)
It burns!
This film has nothing to do with streetfighting - not even god knows what the plot is - or Streetfighter - it just uses the characters costumes and names. All american guy Guile is played by Van Damme, who doesnt speak english. The other characters are all played by ex-baywatch losers, and the cast is generally an ensemble of beefcake brainless wonders. There are all 3 signs of bad-acting on display in this movie - 1) Many pauses in dialogue 2) No emotions shown throughout whole movie 3) Jean-Claude Van Damme At the end of the movie the bad-guys lair blows up and the heroes all pose while the credits begin to roll. It just feels like the makers expect us to be cheering + that theyre showing us a picture of the "team" for future sequels. The sript is poor, its not funny, the action sequences suck to hell (this film was crying out for some techno), there is an air of low budget, its a lame end for Raul Julia - this is one of the worst films ever - next to Moonwalker, Beastmaster 3, the secret agent club and - thats right, youve guessed it - Mac and Me. I cant believe this writer De Souza came up with this script after such greatness as Die Hard - well i can he also wrote the catchphrase and cliche laden Running Man and Judge Dredd, which this is also. I mean who really wants to hear unfunny lines after killing someone in an amusing way - its just easy and lame. + In the game M Bison can fly right so when he gets electracuted at the end he can fly - its pathetic. The costumes loom clean and unrealistic, everyone is tanned and dont even look like theyve done a days work let alone had a fight.
Dont watch this film its pitiful.
