Primal Rage, a review by Jimmy

Title : Primal Rage (1988)

Overview
This blood-soaked, stomach-churningly gory Italian horror outing is set on a college campus in Miami and chronicles the grisly aftermath that occurs when a student is bitten by a lab animal and turns into a voracious, man-killing beast! Will the fun loving campus in Florida turn into a blood bath? Will the campus concert turn into a massacre of the macabre?

My Impression
It's an italian movie so we know what to expect, a lot of blood and nice make-up effect. Right from the start we see that it will deal with medical experiment done with monkey lab and we know that it isn't a thing who usually end well. Of course it won't since the monkey escapes and the virus it carry with him... Well done movie where the students look loke student (wich is sure a rare thing in movies), as expected the special effects are well done and it doesn't silly since the film was made in english so it isn't dub. Wich doesn't mean that the acting is great in any ways (a lot of overacting and bad acting, but it goes with the territory) and check for a young Sarah Buxton who is quite hot in this (at least at the beginning ). This film sure had the most annoying theme song ever written and to make it even worst the song play three times...

Another good one.

Tammy, a review by Dragonfire

Tammy

I went to see Tammy not long after it came out.  While the movie was entertaining, it wasn't as good as The Heat or Identity Thief.

Tammy's life is a mess when she decides to take off on a road trip with her grandmother Pearl.  Pearl has her own issues, and there are odd situations that come up during the trip.

The plot is alright, though it could have been stronger.  Some of what happens is predictable, though there are some things that happen that are at least somewhat surprising.  The movie is funny, though not as funny as other things McCarthy has done.  Some of the humor is rude and crude, so it isn't going to appeal to everyone.  There is a lot of swearing, and obscene gestures.  A few things that happen or that are discussed are at least slightly disturbing.  The characters are alright, though Tammy does have a lot in common with other characters that McCarthy has played.  That could disappoint or bother some people.

The movie is funny and entertaining overall, though it could have been better.  People who like McCarthy will probably find something to like.

3 out of 5 stars

I did post a longer review to my movie blog.

The 2013 Pilot Review, a review by DJ Doena

Trophy Wife

Trophy Wife @ IMDb
Trophy Wife @ Wikipedia

Synopsis:Watchmen) is the new "trophy wife" of twice-divorced and re-married lawyer Pete Harrison (Bradley Whitford, The West Wing) and now has to deal with his ex-wifes and his and their children.

My Opinion: It's definitely not a must-see, but it does has its charm. It's a no laugh track sitcom which I think should be the way to go for a sitcom. I decide when I find something funny and not when a taped laugh signals me to.
