War for the Planet of the Apes, a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: Plot: In this thrilling, climactic chapter in the Planet of the Apes saga, Caesar (ANDY SERKIS) and his apes are forced into a deadly conflict with an army of humans led by a ruthless Colonel (WOODY HARRELSON). But after suffering unimaginable losses, Caesar resolves to avenge his kind, pitting him against the Colonel for a final showdown that will determine the future of the planet! Extras:
My Thoughts: Going into this one I expected pure action. But it does also have a decent story line to it as well. But what this film does have going for itself is all the fantastic visuals. And I am not just talking the special effects... which were great... but all the visuals. The design of the apes... the wonderful background imagery... there is a really great shot of an explosion (you will know it when you see it) that looks just amazing. Over all, the film is well worth the time put in to watch it. I would definitely recommend it. Rating: ![]() (From What Movies I Been Watching on December 8th, 2017) The Hamiltons, a review by addicted2dvd![]() Title: The Hamiltons Movie Count: 64 TV Ep Count: 17 Time Started: 5pm Plot: The Hamiltons seem to be the picture-perfect American family. They are hardworking community members; giving to their local charities, attending town hall meetings and always respectful of their neighbors...except for the fact that they usually end up killing them. My Thoughts: This movie I am less then pleased with... it was a below average movie in my opinion... not so bad that I will never watch it again... but bad enough that it won't be watched very often. The thing about this one is it is not only very slow... but if it wasn't for a brief nude scene and a couple quick gore scenes I would have sworn I was watching an edited for TV version of the m654ovie. Seemed like for most the movie as soon as it was going to get good it cut away from the action to a new scene. I won't say here what the final twist was... but I will say it didn't feel right... that I didn't feel like it fit with the rest of the movie... so that didn't help either. Woohoo!... and I have made it to my goal... with 11 more days to spare! So how many horror movies will I get to watch this year? I must keep going!

Duncan MacLeod was born 400 years ago in the scottish Highlands and he is immortal - at least as long as nobody cuts his head off. He is not alone. There are more immortals out there like him and they all are waiting for the Gathering, when only few of them are left alive and they fight for The Prize. What happened before? For this series to work it has to be places in an alternate reality then the first Highlander movie (Why do I say "the first Highlander movie?" There is only one Highlander movie ![]() "The Gathering" A young man breaks into Duncan MacLeod's antiques store and is mistaken for an immortal. But then the immortal Slan Quince enters and is going for Duncan's head. Additionally another immortal arrives: Connor MacLeod, the same clan but another vintage. ![]() My Opinion I really liked the show especially with the flashbacks to former times. But it was really sad when Tessa died. (From The One Where It All Began: The Pilot Marathon on January 6th, 2008) |
