I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, a review by Rich

Title: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer

Movie Count:10 
TV Ep. Count:8 

Runtime:100
Certificate:R
Year:1998
Genres:Horror, Suspense/Thriller

Plot:Jennifer Love Hewitt, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Brandy, and Mekhi Phifer star in the screamer sequel to the blood-chilling box office hit I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Remember Ben Willis?  He's the fisherman who killed the boy who was driving the car when it went off the road in the fatal accident that killed his daughter Sara…he's the man in the slicker with a hook in his hand ready to exact bloody  justice.  Well, he's back.                   
It's hard to forget a man who refuses to die.

My Review:
Weak sequel, ridiculously obvious but at times unintentionally belly chuckling hilarious.
Hewitt is unconvincing, and popstar Brandy patheitic in this wet and drippy film that is wrongly tagged a horror movie. The 'killer' dressed as a fisherman is wholly comical, and the 'twist' in the tail signposted after about 20 minutes.
On the plus side some parts were so ridiculous they were funny, and I didn't realise Jack Black also appeared in this flick as a weed smoking rasta.
Bad - even for a sequel.

Doctor in the House, a review by Antares

Reach for the Sky (1956) 4/5 - Atypical British war film from the post war era, you know the kind, the stiff upper lip and tally ho mentality. Kenneth More, who is one of my favorite English actors, became famous in England after appearing in this biopic of Douglas Bader, an RAF pilot who lost both his legs in a plane crash in the late 20's, and returned to fly in the Battle of Britain. The film spends most of its running time dealing with Bader's recovery from his near fatal accident. It only falters when the Battle of Britain is actually shown towards the end of the film. It is at this point that either the producer or the director decided that they needed to bring the story to a quick end as they had expended so much time on Bader's recovery in the previous hour and a half. That being said, if you like British war films, then this should be right up your alley.

Doctor in the House (1954) 3.5/5 -  The film that made Dirk Bogarde a household name in Britain. Once again an atypical British film from the fifties, but this time a comedy. So that means madcap antics intertwined with dry humor. While it's not on par with the Ealing comedies of the period, I did find myself chuckling from time to time. This would be the first of five films made with this premise and would rival the Carry On series of films in regards to popularity with British filmgoers.
