Two orphaned brothers, Joshua (Ron Melendez) and his younger brother Eli (Daniel Cemy), who were connected to the murderous cult led by the children of the rural town of Gatlin Nebraska, are brought to the city of Chicago to live with their newly adoptive parents; William (Jim Metzler) and Amanda Porter (Nancy Lee Grahn). As Joshua starts to get used to his new surroundings, he starts to feel more distant towards his younger brother, as Eli begins to show his distaste towards those living a more modern lifestyle in the city of Chicago. Due to Eli\u2019s distaste of his new surroundings, he summons the demonic entity known as; \u2018He who walks Behind the Rows\u2019, which therefore causes all hell to break lose, as mysterious gory deaths starts to occur, when Eli begins to recruit the local children living in Chicago to join his newly murderous cult, to carry on what had once begun in his hometown of Gatlin, by bringing the mayhem to the urban setting of Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995)\u2019 is the third instalment in the \u2018Children of the Corn\u2019 horror film series, which was based on a short story by Steven King. This movie opens with a violent chase scene in the cornfields of the town of Gatlin, Nebraska, where a drunken man threatens his son Joshua (portrayed by actor Ron Melendez) with a beating, which ends in a most gruesome death scene, setting up what we can except to see for the rest of the movie. With the death of Joshua\u2019s father, both Joshua and his younger brother Eli (Daniel Cemy) are adopted by both William (Jim Metzler) and Amanda Porter (Nancy Lee Grahn) and are taken out of the rural town of Gatlin, Nebraska to the urban setting of the city of Chicago. To Eli\u2019s distain and despite the rough start to their new life in the city of Chicago, Joshua starts to finally fit in with his other classmates through a game of basketball, which causes a rift between the two brothers. As the two brothers drift apart, Eli finds an old and abandoned factory near their new home, to summon the demonic entity also known as \u2018He who Walks Behind the Rows\u2019, by giving him an offering of the corn, he brought with him from his hometown of Gatlin. Through throwing the seeds on the spoiled soil, it results in the corn growing mysteriously fast despite being on the worst soil, which becomes very valuable to their newly adopted father William Porter (Jim Metzler), as Eli reassures him that it could make him and their newly family filthy rich. Their newly adopted mother Amanda Porter (Nancy Lee Grahn), starts to become suspicious and baffled by Eli\u2019s strange behaviour and these suspicions soon becomes apparent to both Joshua and his new found friends, when Eli begins to recruit their classmates to become part of his new murderous cult, in carrying out the demon\u2019s bidding.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

From this movie\u2019s opening, we witness Joshua\u2019s (Ron Melendez) previous home life, through seeing how terrified he was of his drunken father, which will help the audience to sympathise with his character and therefore root for him. Joshua seems more normal than his younger brother Eli, as Joshua starts to both fit in with his new classmates and wear his new clothes rather than what he wore before, therefore showing that his character can adapt to change. This is not the case for his younger brother Eli (Daniel Cemy), who seems to dislike his new surroundings and the people in them. Eli starts to show from the very beginning of the film, that he doesn\u2019t want to change and is more powerful than he\u2019s letting on, as he seems to secretly have the power of telekinesis, as he was able to knock off a glass statue with ease, which was impossible as it was further away from him. Eli is a very unlikeable character due to the threatening nature he hides behind his innocent face. The characters of both William (Jim Metzler) and Amanda Porter (Nancy Lee Grahn) are introduced as a warm and welcoming couple, as they try their best to make sure both Joshua and Eli feel loved. Mr and Mrs Porter seem to be very in love and are happy to have children to be part of their newly build family, but for Amanda Porter, her opinion soon changes, when she starts to feel threatened by Eli, due to his bizarre behaviour making her feel uncomfortable around just him. William Porter\u2019s character seems to be oblivious to his wife\u2019s concerns about Eli, as her husband becomes more occupied with trying to profit off of the mysteriously fast grown and invulnerable to disease corn.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"COCIII_v\"<\/p>\r\n

I truly enjoyed \u2018Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995)\u2019 and dare I say I rather this sequel to its previous films, as I felt this had a more intriguing plot and I was pleased that the filmmakers decided to change the setting, by having it moved out of the rural town of Gatlin to the urban city of Chicago, as it brought a nice change of pace, with new faces brought in to be recruited, than the movie sticking with only all Amish like characters that was mainly used in the previous instalments. I enjoyed all of the innovative kills in the movie even the ridiculous cringe worthy ones. I loved the innovative kill, that involved a man having his limbs torn apart and his eyes and mouth being sewn shut, as I felt it was brilliantly executed and had made an impact on me, due to it being the first kill, therefore causing me to feel intrigued to see what the other kills will look like throughout the film. I loved the gore used in the scene, where a head is cracked open and split down in the middle and also a scene where another character\u2019s head was pulled off from his body. The two death scenes that came to mind, that were hilariously cringe worthy, was firstly a death scene of a beloved character, where she got impaled by a broken pipe, which would of been effective , if it wasn\u2019t obvious that it was a dummy, due to the hilarious image of her open mouth making an everlasting shocked expression. The other cringe worthy death scene, which was really the only negative aspect for me, was where a huge tentacle looking monster bursts from the ground and starts to eat the kids, which would have been chilling, if you couldn\u2019t clearly see the monster eating a miniature doll version of the actors, which I felt took away from the sort of realism of that scene.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I highly recommend watching \u2018Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995)\u2019, due to its supervising twist and blood splattering innovative kills, that were both brilliantly executed and sometimes humorous, making this film an entertaining watch. The actor Daniel Cemy who played the main character of Eli, had portrayed this evil character perfectly, from he\u2019s innocent expression to his threatening mannerisms, that makes his character intriguing to watch, to see what extreme measures he will take, to please the demonic entity from whom he calls \u2018He Who Walks Behind the Rows\u2019. \u2018Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995)\u2019, is the first in the \u2018Children of the Corn\u2019 film series to be made under Dimension Films and Miramax and the first to be released direct to video. This movie was also the film to start the careers of Buffy the vampire slayer actor, Nicholas Brendon, who had an unaccredited role, as one of the basketball players and the actress Ivana Milicevic who portrayed Riley Finn\u2019s wife Samantha Finn and US military agent in Buffy the vampire slayer, had an unaccredited role in this film as Acolyte, a follower of Eli. The most noteworthy actress to appear in \u2018Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995)\u2019 as their first film is the American \u2013 South African actress Charlize Theron, who had an unaccredited and non speaking role as one of Eli\u2019s followers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Overall:<\/strong> 8 \/10<\/span><\/p>\r\n

In order to save his career, a city tabloid journalist, John Garrett (portrayed by Terence Knox) travels to the town with his estranged son Danny (portrayed by Paul Scherrer), to uncover the mystery behind the gruesome murders of all the adults in the town of Gatlin. The locals of Hemingford and tabloid journalist John Garrett himself, are about to experience more than what they bargained for, when the children of Gatlin return secretly to the cornfield, where the character of Micah (portrayed by Ryan Bollman) has not only taken Isaacs place, by becoming the new leader of the cult, but has also been possessed by \u2018\u2019He who walks Behind the Rows\u2019\u2019, leading to yet again more gruesome murders being committed by the children, while also trying to recruit Danny in becoming an addition to their cult.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u2018\u2019Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice\u2019\u2019 (1992) is a direct horror movie sequel to the 1984 cult classic film \u2018Children of the Corn\u2019, which was based on a short story written by Steven King. This film opens with a chilling scene, as the decomposed bodies of the adults that were murdered in the previous film are found. The remaining surviving children, who were part of the cult, that worshipped a demonic entity, they named \u2018\u2019He who walks Behind the Rows\u2019\u2019 has now been taken from their hometown of Gatlin to its neighbouring town of Hemingford Nebraska, where the locals have willing adopted them, as they don\u2019t believe that these children would have committed such gruesome murders. The film introduces us to our main protagonists, a city tabloid journalist, John Garrett (Terence Knox) and his estranged son Danny (Paul Scherrer) as they travel to the town of Hemingford, as John Garrett believes he needs to work on a compelling story about what had happened in the town of Gatlin, in order to save his journalism career. John soon becomes smitten by a bed and breakfast owner Angela Casual (Rosalind Allen), who has adopted one of the children named Micah. When returning to the cornfield, Micah (Ryan Bollman) becomes possessed by the demonic entity and has taken over as leader of the cult, which was previously owned by a child named Isaac, who was killed in the original film. Due to Danny having an estranged relationship with his father, as well as the fact that John seems to be more occupied with both Angela and with interviewing those within the town, Danny befriends a local orphaned girl named Lacey (Christie Clark).Bizarre deaths start to happen to some of the locals within the town, while Danny is potentially being drawn in by Micah to become a member of the cult.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe film sets up the dynamic between the main characters of the tabloid journalist John Garrett (Terence Knox) and his son Danny (Paul Scherrer), as the film explores their estranged relationship, as Danny expresses to his father, that he believes it is his father\u2019s fault for the divorce, as Danny recalls that his father cared more for his job than he did for his own family. Danny feels as though his father has abandoned him, as his father is said to have barely remembered his own son\u2019s birthday. The film also gives an insight into Danny\u2019s home life with his mother, as he tells his father that he wasn\u2019t going to his mothers wedding, as he hates he\u2019s soon to be stepfather. This helps the audience to have sympathy for Danny\u2019s character, as we get to know his background, which therefore justifies why he gives backhanded comments to his father throughout the film. Even though the character of John Garrett is unlikeable, in terms of how he had treated his son in particular in the past, by seeming as though he cares more about his work than anything, but the film makes you also have sympathy for him too, due to the scrutiny John faces from his former co workers, which is shown in a scene in the film, where John and his son meets John\u2019s former co workers on the road coming from the town, where they humiliate John for making up stories, by never having any concrete evidence to back them up, making him a laughing stock in his field of work. The character of Micah (Ryan Bollman) is firstly introduced as a very quiet child, who has experienced trauma from the previous events, but as his character soon becomes possessed by the demonic entity in the cornfields, he becomes more outspoken and therefore takes over as leader of the cult. His character is quite unlikeable due to his evil nature, from leading the children to commit murder and him committing murder himself, but without condoning violence and strongly disagreeing with the phrase \u2018\u2019violence is the answer\u2019\u2019, I do understand where his anger is coming from and why he thinks the adults in the town are hypocrites, as he expresses to Danny, how Micah\u2019s father told him that if he had an relationship before marriage, it will be deemed as sinful but this was unfair of him to say, as Micah quoted \u2018\u2019 I caught my father with the farmhand's wife... sinning most vigorously\u2019\u2019. This made Micah\u2019s character quite persuasive, as by telling his story, he was able to have Danny believe his father is similar to Micah\u2019s father, as Danny recalls his father telling him, not to get into an relationship with Lacey or befriend the other children, which Danny believes also, is hypocritical of his father to tell him who he can\u2019t hang out with in the town, as his father has already become lovers with the local bed and breakfast owner Angela.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"COTC_II_v\"\r\n\r\nI truly enjoyed this film \u2018Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice\u2019, due to the innovative deaths displayed on screen, such as the movie referencing the Wizard of Oz, where a local woman is murdered by the children, as they sabotage the hydraulic jacks supporting her house, while she was underneath it, so this caused the house to crush her with only her legs being shown, which is slightly similar to the death of the Wicked Witch of the East in the Wizard of Oz. Another similarity to another film, I spotted was during the lead up to a death scene, where the demonic entity was not being shown in its true form but instead used thermal imaging, similar to the beginning of the 1987 Scfi \u2013 action film Predator, as thermal imaging was used in this film, to show that the demonic entity was following its next potential victims in the cornfields without them knowing. Another death scene I was impressed with was during a scene in a church, where one of the local men gets the bloodiest nosebleed I\u2019ve ever seen, which causes him to bleed out to death, due to Micah stabbing a voodoo doll to make it happen. Reading about the making of this film, I appreciate any of the church scenes more, due to what the filmmakers went through making this film, as director David Price mentioned in the film\u2019s DVD commentary, that when shooting the film, a local Christian group held not only a few small protests during the film , but had left a dead rodent on the director\u2019s doorstep as a warning, so the film\u2019s production team constructed their own church for a few scenes in the film and luckily despite the warning, no actual incidents occurred. The only negative aspect I have about this film, is that I felt the movie couldn\u2019t make up its mind on what they wanted to be the reason behind the children becoming evil, as they didn\u2019t specify if it was the supernatural aspect that the film was portraying all along, such as scenes where they show the true face of the demon and how a voodoo doll was used to cause a man to nosebleed to death, so it was confusing when they brought in a storyline where the corn was seen to be infected, making it hard to pinpoint which one is the cause, as nothing is ruled out.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI highly recommend watching \u2018Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice\u2019 (1992), especially if you are a fan of the original 1984 cult classic \u2018Children of the Corn\u2019, as the movie picks up straight after the events of the first film and doesn\u2019t discard any plot points from the original film, therefore showing that the filmmakers appreciated what came before. I enjoyed this movie as a horror fan due to the innovative kills and finding out that the actress who played Lacey (Christe Clarke), was the same actress who portrayed Jesse\u2019s 11 year old sister Angela Walsh in one of my favorite horror movies \u2018A Nightmare on Elm Street 2:Freddy\u2019s Revenge. \u2018Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice\u2019 (1992) is worth the watch, especially due to the film having been successful enough to spawn a further eight more straight to DVD sequels, that also included a 2009 television remake of the original film . The title of this film \u2018Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice\u2019 (1992) is hilarious to know that the filmmakers put the word final in its title, as horror fans know by now, that horror movies that have final in its title such as Saw 3D: The Final Chapter in 2010 or even Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter in 1984, we can all suspect there is more movies to come.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7 \/10<\/span>","post_title":"Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice Review","post_excerpt":"Serving up a fresh crop","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"children-of-the-corn-ii-the-final-sacrifice-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 14:20:15","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 14:20:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205521","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205448,"post_author":"38","post_date":"2020-10-12 13:56:51","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-12 12:56:51","post_content":"Starring:<\/strong> Sean Pertwee, Kevin McKidd, Liam Cunningham, Emma Cleasby<\/span>\r\n\r\nDirected by:<\/strong> Neil Marshall<\/span>\r\n\r\nLicensed by:<\/strong> Vertigo Releasing<\/span>\r\n\r\nRelease Date:<\/strong> 4 K Digital restoration released on the 12th October 2020<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nIn the Highlands of Scotland, six British soldiers on a training expedition, unexpectedly encounters a gruesome massacre of a group of special ops, with only one severely injured survivor remained by the name of Captain Richard Ryan (portrayed by Liam Cunningham), With Capt. Richard Ryan refusing to disclose his mission and the fear that the vicious attackers would come back, the British soldiers must team up to defend themselves, due to having no access to transport or communication. They are luckily rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby) who offers them shelter in an isolated farmhouse located deep within the woods. The soldiers soon realize that the vicious attackers are none other than a pack of blood thirsty werewolves.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u2018\u2019Dog Soldiers\u2019\u2019 (2002) is a cult classic British horror film, which is filled with tension from the very beginning, through witnessing a couple brutally murdered in the woods located in Scotland. In North Wales, two hours before the brutal attack of the couple in the woods, the film introduces us to our main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (portrayed by the British actor Kevin McKidd from Trainspotting, Grey\u2019s Anatomy), who fails to join the special forces as he refuses an order by Capt. Richard Ryan (portrayed by Irish actor Liam Cunningham), to shoot an innocent dog in cold blood. Four weeks later in the Highlands of Scotland, six British soldiers including Pvt. Cooper are set out on a training exercise against a special Air Service unit. The six British soldiers led by Sgt. Harry G. Wells (portrayed by the English actor Sean Pertwee from Event Horizon, Gotham), establish a hilarious tight knit group dynamic through their crude and aggressive dialogue towards each other. These soldiers soon stumble towards a gruesome massacre of a group of special ops, with only one survivor left which is none other than Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham). They are soon rescued by a zoologist named Megan (Emma Cleasby), who drives them to an isolated farmhouse located within the woods, where they would retreat until the full moon disappears at dawn, as they were aggressively attacked by a pack of werewolves, who had killed one of their soldiers but had only extremely wounded another, due to Pvt. Cooper helping the wounded soldier by not leaving him behind to die. .<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"dogsoldiers_1\"\r\n\r\nThe film\u2019s main protagonist Pvt. Cooper (Kevin McKidd) is a likeable character from the start, due to his refusal of killing a dog in cold blood, which shows that he has a conscience and is someone who would not leave a man behind, which was prevalent when he helped a severely injured fellow soldier, knowing his life could of been endangered, which made his character someone to root for, due to his characteristics that make him a natural born leader with a heart. The character of Capt. Richard Ryan (Liam Cunningham) was an unlikeable character due to his cruel nature, as his character ordered Cooper to shoot an innocent dog and when Cooper refused to, we see Capt. Richard Ryan shoot the dog himself off-screen. Throughout the film Capt. Richard Ryan had no redeemable qualities, making his character potentially traitorous, through giving off a vibe as though he is hiding something for not disclosing his mission to the British soldiers, which might help them defeat the blood lusting werewolves. Overall the cast were brilliant in their roles and gave a performance that was memorable, as they delivered their dialogue perfectly, as the humour appeared natural and wasn\u2019t forced, as they gave a real reaction to the mayhem that was going on around them.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI truly enjoyed this film as it kept me entertained throughout, due to the film\u2019s action packed sequences in the isolated farmhouse, which were especially fun to watch, as we got to see the soldiers use their training to defend themselves. The gory death scenes will hopefully please fans of the body horror genre as well, due to the gruesome portrayal of blood, guts and intestines shown on screen. These action packed sequences and emotional scenes are very effective due to the film\u2019s soundtrack that was composed by Mark Thomas. I also loved the references to other movies in the film, such as the reference to Sam Raimi\u2019s Evil Dead, through naming one of the soldiers Corporal Bruce Campbell (Thomas Lockyer), after the actor who played Ash in the Evil Dead franchise. Another reference I noticed was the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells which was named after the author with the same initials who wrote the science fiction novel called \u2018\u2019The War of the Worlds\u2019\u2019 . Speaking of the character of Sgt. Harry G. Wells, I loved Sean Pertwee performance during a scene, where he had to be punched twice in order to be knocked out while they closed his wounds with Krazy glue, which was used during the Vietnam War to stop blood and close wounds. This scene was extremely hilarious to watch, due to reading that the actor Sean Pertwee not only got punched for real, but had taken on his role quite literally by having a few drinks before the scene, which made his portray of a drunken individual very convincing. I loved that they used practical effects instead of CGI as I\u2019m not a fan of films that have CGI werewolves, as it brings me out of a film when it\u2019s not done effectively. Two negative aspects about the film for me was that we didn\u2019t get to witness a full werewolf transformation scene, as this film had a lower budget, but the filmmakers did their very best through having shown the transformation off-screen, as the film only shows the claws coming out before the full transformation, which I felt was still effective. I also felt that the plot twists in the movie were a bit predictable, but none the less I was still intrigued to find out, how it was all going to end.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"dogsoldiers_2\"\r\n\r\nI highly recommend watching Dog Soldiers (2002) as I guarantee you will be stuck to your seat from start to finish, from its hilarious dialogue, that is full of British humour and delivered by a great cast, to the intense action and gory deaths portrayed on screen, that will please both action movie lovers due to the film being action packed throughout and for horror movie fans who are there to experience the extremely gruesome kills.<\/span>\r\n\r\nDog Soldiers has been titled a cult classic British horror movie, due to being directed by Neil Marshall (The Descent, Game of Thrones) and also by having grossed \u00a35 million at the box office when it was released 18 years ago in 2002.<\/span>\r\n\r\nSpecial Thanks to Vertigo Releasing, who has achieved multiple awards for their innovative campaigns for quality independent films, have now announced that the British horror cult classic film \u2018Dog Soldiers\u2019 is now been re- released digitally as a 4K restoration release on the 12th October 2020 with newly commissioned promotional artwork by legendary illustrator Chris Malbon.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 8 \/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Dog Soldiers Review","post_excerpt":"British horror film","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"dog-soldiers-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 14:21:04","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205448","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205407,"post_author":"38","post_date":"2020-09-28 16:22:25","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-28 15:22:25","post_content":"Starring:<\/strong> Judah Lewis, Bella Thorne, Robbie Amell, Hana Mae Lee, Andrew B.

Two years has passed since Cole (Judah Lewis), survived and defeated a satanic cult lead by his Babysitter Bee. Cole, now a junior high school student, is still haunted by the horrific events of that night, alongside dealing with the fact that everyone thinks he\u2019s crazy, as no evidence was found, to prove that Cole was telling the truth. Cole\u2019s best friend Melanie (Emily Alyn Lind) convinces Cole to attend a party with her at a lake, so Cole can forget his past and have fun. Unlucky for Cole, he must once again outsmart the satanic cult, who unexpectedly returns from the dead.<\/span><\/p>\r\nNetflix\u2019s The Babysitter: Killer Queen is an American horror comedy, that brings back what we all loved from its original movie, as this movie is filled with pop culture references and huge amounts of gore splattered onto our screens, yet again. This film takes the story into new directions with plot twists, which will make whatever doubts you had on this sequel fade, as I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations. <\/span>\r\n\r\n\"babysitter_killer_1\"\r\n\r\nThe character of Cole (Judah Lewis) is still an easy to root for character in this sequel, as he was in the original, as the movie allows you to sympathies for Cole, due to him still being treated as an outcast, which many audiences watching can relate to. Cole\u2019s character will soon have to face his fears, when he comes into close contact with those, who wants to try and kill him all over again. We are introduced to some new characters such as Phoebe (Jenna Ortega), the new girl at school, who is rumored to have killed her parents, which makes her character intriguing to watch, to see how Phoebe\u2019s storyline ties into the overall plot. Along with new characters, we also have the triumphant return of Cole\u2019s enemies, the ridiculously over the top satanic cult members, that includes the characters of Max (Robbie Amell), Allison (Bella Thorne), john (Andrew B. Bachelor) and Sonya (Hana Mae Lee). Each of these original satanic cult members fit back into their roles easily, and has fun with the material they are given. Other original cast members includes Cole\u2019s next door neighbor Melanie (Emily Alyn Lind), who Cole is still smitten with since they kissed in the first movie, and she is the only one who understands him, as she too was a witness to the murders two years ago besides Cole. Surprisingly, we get more screen time of Cole\u2019s parents, especially his father (Ken Marino), who portrays the awkward dad, who wants to be the fun loving father in front of his son, but also gives a performance, where you can clearly see the affection he has towards his son Cole. Nearly every scene Cole\u2019s father is in is hilarious to watch, especially scenes he has with Melanie\u2019s father. <\/span>\r\n

I enjoyed this sequel as a follow up to \u2018\u2019The Babysitter\u2019\u2019 (2017), as it delivered for me yet again, due to how all the original characters got back into their roles with ease, by delivering some ridiculous but hilarious dialogue throughout the film, that made me laugh out loud. I loved the new character of Phoebe (Jenna Ortega), as she was a great addition to the cast, from her character\u2019s introduction and to how her storyline ties into the movie. I believe that the actress \u2018\u2019Jenna Ortega \u2018will be someone to look out for in the future, as this actress has been newly casted in Scream 5, which is to be released in 2022. The soundtrack to this film is awesome. There was a lot of pop culture references, from Terminator 2, which I felt was a nod to the director McG having directed \u2018\u2019Terminator Salvation\u2019\u2019(2009).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"babysitter_killer_2\"<\/p>\r\n

Babysitter: Killer Queen was truly an enjoyable fun watch, but had some bizarre moments in the film, that felt too stylistic for me, such as a fight scene that resembled an arcade fighting game and even some Scot Pilgrim vibes in there, that wasn\u2019t needed, as it made the movie far less realistic. Another scene I first felt was out of place; was a dance scene, which came out of nowhere, but as I thought about it, I now get what that scene was symbolising within in the film but in the moment, I didn\u2019t get it until looking back. The movie also went into detail of how the characters of <\/span>Max (Robbie Amell), Allison (Bella Thorne), john (Andrew B. Bachelor) and Sonya (Hana Mae Lee) joined the demonic cult, which was shown very stylistically using camera footage, which added a nice touch to the look of the film. I loved how McG concluded this film, so I would be happy with them ending on this high note, but would welcome a third movie.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018\u2019The Babysitter: Killer Queen\u2019\u2019 (2020) is out now to stream on Netflix. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

Before watching, make sure to watch the original \u2018\u2019The Babysitter\u2019\u2019(2017) also streaming on Netflix, as I reassure you, that you will be in for a ridiculously hilarious horror comedy, where both films will keep a smile on your face from beginning to end, with all the fun and gory innovative kills, us horror fans love to see on screen.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Bachelor<\/span>\r\n\r\nDirected by:<\/strong> McG<\/span>\r\n\r\nWritten by:<\/strong> Brian Duffield<\/span>\r\n\r\nFormat:<\/strong> A Netflix Original<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n12 year old Cole (Judah Lewis) has a close bond with his babysitter Bee (Samara Weaving), as Bee seems to be the only one, who really gets Cole\u2019s quirky personality and in the beginning defends him against his neighborhood bullies. Cole secretly has a crush on Bee and is excited to spend the weekend with her, while his parents are gone on a weekend away. It takes an unexpected and extremely blood splattering gory turn, when Cole secretly stays up past his bed time, only to find that his hot, funny and likeable babysitter Bee, is part of a satanic cult who with her 4 friends is now out to ultimately try to catch and kill Cole, due to him witnessing Bee and her friends commit a gruesome murder during a game of spin the bottle. This leads to a hilarious, wild and gruesome ride, where Cole has to try to run and outsmart them in order to survive the night.<\/span>\r\n\r\nNetflix\u2019s The Babysitter is an American horror comedy, which explores the coming of age story; as we witness the close and unique bond both Bee and Cole share, and how that relationship will soon become tainted, when Cole learns that his babysitter Bee is part of a murderous satanic cult. This movie was surprisingly an entertaining watch, while also teaching its audience to recognize that as part of growing up, relationships can fade and that we must remove ourselves when a relationship soon becomes toxic. The character of Cole is quite relatable, therefore easy to root for as our main protagonist, due to representing the importance of accepting our unique selves and not changing who we are to fit in. This is evident within the film as you will soon witness, how Cole\u2019s weird knowledge will come in handy when fighting off five crazy murderous cult worshipers. <\/span>\r\n\r\n\"babysitter1\"\r\n\r\nOther than the characters of Bee and Cole, the movie hilariously has a cast who represent your typical clique horror character tropes, from the character of Max (Robbie Amell), who plays the shirtless alpha male quarterback, so there\u2019s plenty of eye candy to look forward to if you are into that. Speaking of eye candy, when introduced to the extremely vain cheerleader Allison (Bella Thorne), you get a close up shot of Allison and Bee making out during a game of truth or dare. There\u2019s also the character of john (Andrew B. Bachelor), who seems to be the victim of getting splattered with countless amounts of gore that reminds me of the Evil dead franchise and how they used extreme amounts of gore for a comedic effect, which also works perfectly in this film. The least memorable character for me was Sonya (Hana Mae Lee), who portrayed Bee\u2019s gothic friend. Each one of these characters played quite well off each other and gave us horror fans plenty of some surprising and innovative fun kills to watch. The movie also has the character of Melanie (Emily Alyn Lind) ,who portrays Cole\u2019s other neighbor and best friend from school, who he eventually develops a cute relationship with towards the end, which represents the fact that Cole is starting to grow up into a young adult.<\/span>\r\n\r\nI enjoyed the entire cast in this film, especially our main protagonist Cole (Judah Lewis), as he was quite charismatic in his role and portrayed the nerdy 12 year old boy perfectly, while also being able to carry the film along at such a young age. The actress who portrays the babysitter Bee (Samara Weaving), brought not only the sex appeal, but was quite charismatic in her role, as she was able to pull off portraying not only the funny likeable babysitter but also the dangerous murderous cult worshipper. This movie can be ridiculously unrealistic at times, such as Cole\u2019s neighbors not coming out to check what\u2019s going on or ring the police, as there was definitely shouting and screaming happening outside, but that little nitpicky negative aspect about the film doesn\u2019t compare to the overall film representing, a stylistic look and laugh out loud humor with a few pop culture references thrown in, making this film an absolute blast to watch. <\/span>\r\n\r\n\"babysitter2\"\r\n

Due to the film\u2019s success the original cast is reuniting yet again for its anticipated direct sequel movie The Babysitter: Killer Queen, which is now been realised on Netflix.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

I highly recommend watching The Babysitter (2017) on Netflix now, before watching its anticipated sequel The Babysitter: Killer Queen (2020), as I guarantee you will be in for a gruesome but laugh out loud hilarious and heart warming horror comedy, that paints the most important question I would like to know which is, \u2018\u2019 what is your Intergalactic dream team to have to defeat the big bad?\u2019\u2019. To find out what are main characters from Netflix\u2019s The Babysitter (2017) want in their intergalactic dream team, you can find out by streaming it now on Netflix to see if you agree with them.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

With the reality of a new family dynamic in front of her and the shocking news that her much loved family home by the lake now has to be shared with her mothers\u2019 replacement - Becky storms off to her hideout. Whilst all this family drama is unfolding, a group of escaped prisoners have made their way to her front door. The murderous convict Dominick (played by the well known comedic actor - Kevin James) stops at nothing in order to recover his hidden loot - a key that will unlock everything he was worked towards for the Neo-Nazi Brotherhood. With the devil and his minions now at Becky's front step - this is the perfect opportunity for her to release all her bent up anger in some masterful killing sequences.<\/span><\/em>\r\n\r\nThis is perhaps the first time Kevin James has ever played such a serious role, and right in at the deep end by portraying a Neo-Nazi convict no less! Kevin is known for his numerous appearances in both TV and Film playing the leading role or within the main cast of countless comedic productions. The most I ever saw him be serious and put up a fight was in 2012\u2019s \u2018Here Comes The Boom<\/em>\u2019 when he dons the boxing gloves in order to raise some much needed funds for a school music programme. \u2018Becky<\/em>\u2019 is an entirely different ballgame, James certainly brings his A-Game to this role and shows the audience that he can do much more than play the \u2018funny guy\u2019. Not once in his role did he show weakness or regret, instead he stood his ground with his characters\u2019 twisted ideals and went full force, holding nothing back in order to get a hold of his \u2018key\u2019. It\u2019s a shame he picked the entirely wrong weekend to break into this house!<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"becky_2\"\r\n\r\nThe main star of this film and incredible young talent is Lulu Wilson, who plays the demonic Becky. At just 14 years old, she already has an established film career having started back in 2012. Her most well known roles include playing Marian in the Sharp Objects<\/em> mini TV series and the young version of Shirley in the Haunting of Hill House<\/em>. For me, it was her role as Diana and Rikers\u2019 daughter Kestra in Star Trek: Picard<\/em>. This young lady certainly has a bright career ahead and has already demonstrated what a wide variety of characters she can bring to life. I had such compassion towards Lulus\u2019 character Becky at the beginning of the film, and did in fact completely disagree with the way her father handled the situation in regards to announcing his engagement. Unfortunately for Becky, that conversation was not the worst thing to happen to her that night as the senseless violent rampage began and this little \u2018chipmunk\u2019 turned into a killer. Her fierce anger, mindset and imaginative killing techniques, remind me a lot of X-23 (Laura) in the final Wolverine movie: Logan<\/em>.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"becky_3\"\r\n\r\nThere were a number of recognisable cast members in this film that I wasn\u2019t expecting to see. We had actor Joel Hale playing Becky's father Jeff, most people would remember him from the TV show \u2018Community<\/em>\u2019. For those of us that just happened to watch all of \u2018Tiger King<\/em>\u2019 at the beginning of Lockdown, would definitely have watched the follow up episode where Joel interviewed several former employees of Joe Exotic\u2019s zoo after the success of the Netflix show. Joel\u2019s acting in this film was spot on, his characters actions however were shocking at first, but he later redeemed himself when he went head to head against the convicts. We also had Amanda Brugel paying Kayla, the new woman in Jeff\u2019s life. Her portrayal of a protective mother was Oscar worthy, as she made sure to always protect her child from harm and even managed to hide the truth about Becky\u2019s identity at the beginning of the film. We also have the very recognisable Robert Maillet playing Apex, one of the escaped convicts. Built like a brick house and towering over every one of the cast members, at first glance I knew it was the same actor from the very iconic fighting scene in the boat yard against Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes<\/em> back in 2009. To this day, those fight scenes have stood the test of time. Would you also believe that Robert is a former WWF Wrestler! He performed under the ring name Kurrgan back in the late 90s and is in fact 7ft tall! Thankfully his acting lived up to his onscreen presence, hopefully we\u2019ll be seeing more of him in the future.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nSo we have intense action scenes, some imaginative killing tactics that although have been taken from several different films, still managed to leave a massive impact. Followed by great suspense, shocking blows and story twists, as well as some downright brilliant acting from the cast. Then we have the plot - this I had several issues with. Sure enough for some reason in the past, our master criminal managed to store away a very intricate looking key in a bit of brickwork in the foundations of a house. As to why that particular location - no idea. What was the key supposed to open - still, no idea. The big plot was to find the key and what were they actually going to do with it - yeah, still clueless on that one. With zero information on how Dominick actually ended up in jail, what his connection to the Neo-Nazi\u2019s was and what the inevitable goal would be, that still remains a mystery. I don\u2019t know if this film was supposed to be entirely from Becky\u2019s viewpoint, but even if they added like another ten minutes of backstory - this would have been a much better film!<\/span>\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s a film that you either love it - or wish you didn\u2019t waste the last 90 or so minutes on. Also the backing track only got good in the last 20 minutes, but thankfully the action scenes made up for that. It\u2019s definitely not a film to go see in the cinema, but is probably still just above a TV film. Worth a watch even just for Kevin James and Lulu Wilson\u2019s acting performances. Here\u2019s a bit of movie trivia for you, Simon Pegg was announced to play the role of Jeff back in 2019. But due to scheduling conflicts, the part was later recast to Kevin James. Just imagine how different this film would have been otherwise!<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7\/10<\/span>\r\n\r\n ","post_title":"Becky Review","post_excerpt":"There once was a little girl","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"becky-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 14:23:12","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 14:23:12","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205373","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205358,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-09-17 23:52:27","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-17 22:52:27","post_content":"

Starring:<\/strong> Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, Kristen Schaal, Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, William Sadler, Anthony Carrigan<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Director:<\/strong> Dean Parisot<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Release date:<\/strong> 18th September 2020<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n

Many years have passed and now we find Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) both middle aged, married to their princesses and both have a daughter; Billie and Thea. Life is good but now Wyld Stallyns are playing at a family wedding and their set isn\u2019t going well... Ted\u2019s dad has had enough and tells him to get a proper job. Feeling slightly dejected, the boys are shocked when a flying pod appears outside their houses. A futuristic looking woman emerges and takes them to San Dimas in the year 2720AD. Her name is Kelly (Kristen Schaal) and her dad is their old friend Rufus. Bill and Ted are told that they never reached their true potential and they have until 7.17pm that evening to write \u2018the song that will unite the world\u2019 or the whole fabric of space, time and reality will collapse... Panicked, Bill and Ted use an \u2018antique phonebox\u2019 to try and travel in time to track down the song. Meanwhile back in 2020, Thea and Billie are indeed their father\u2019s daughters, and decide that they must help their dads to achieve their goal.. With very little time til the world ends, both pairs must travel through the past and the future to find \u2018the song\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

We were first introduced to best friends, William \"Bill\" S. Preston Esquire and Ted \"Theodore\" Logan back in 1989, when they travelled through time together and had an Excellent Adventure. Two slacker friends, who through their shared love of music, were destined to save the world but their parents didn\u2019t share their vision or even understand what they were talking about most of the time.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Very much a movie of its time, it spawned a sequel, \u2018Bill & Ted\u2019s Bogus Journey\u2019 in 1991 and introduced its viewing public to words and phrases such as Bodacious, Wyld Stallyns!! and of course the guitar noise when they were pretending to play. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

A movie that\u2019s been talked about and hoped for for the past twenty or so years, it didn\u2019t ever feel like the story would be properly concluded or even expanded upon. Thankfully now we\u2019ve been introduced to a whole new generation of characters, including their twenty-something daughters, who are almost mirror images of their dads. Thea shares pretty much all of her dad\u2019s mannerisms, including the way she walks and speaks. Billie is slightly more understated but is still a carbon copy of her dad. Both are into their music and wax lyrical for a lot of the movie.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

That being said, we really need a movie like \u2018Bill & Ted Face the Music\u2019 at the moment. A pure piece of escapism and humour, it\u2019s nice not to have to overthink a story.. characters we know and love, who have aged alongside us but haven\u2019t changed in their mentality.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Very weird seeing Keanu Reeves without a beard though! <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Lots of laughs and visual gags will remind you what you enjoyed about the first two movies. Go see this third installment and enjoy the ride! <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Colton soon becomes obsessed in finding out the mystery behind the vacant house across the street, when he witnesses unusual activity coming from the house and the unexpected arrival of a creepy older man and his daughter moving in. Suspicions are raised when he meets Heather (Genevieve Hannelius) - the recluse foster daughter of the older man Magnus Torvald (Martin Kove), in which Colton becomes quite protective of due to being convinced that her foster father may be part of a satanic cult who intends to cause her harm.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\u2018Day 13\u2019 is an intense horror thriller with an intriguing plot that keeps you guessing throughout, as we follow our main protagonist Colton, who sets up expensive surveillance camera equipment in order to spy on the house across the street. So he can try and uncover the secrets hidden in the once vacant house. The film introduces us to Colton\u2019s family dynamic, as we learn that his father abandoned them, which left Colton feeling pressured to take on the role of \u2018the man of the house\u2019. As this is tested when his mother puts the utmost trust in him to babysit his younger sister Rachel while she goes on holiday to Spain, leaving Colton to look after everything while she\u2019s gone. At the start of the film, both Colton and his sister Rachel give off a very convincing performance of how the majority of siblings act around each other. Such as when Colton acts as the older brother who teases his sister by making it known that he is in charge while their mother is gone. Colton is a likeable character, as even though he acts like an annoying older brother, he does care for his sister and wants to protect not only her, but the girl Heather living across the street. As he courageously tries to save Heather from her foster father, who he believes may be causing her harm. Heather is introduced as an introverted character as she never leaves her home due to describing her foster father as strict. Heather seems to be quite smitten with Colton too, but it also feels like she could be hiding something, which is prevalent in a scene where Colton confronts her about her foster father - thinking the man may be taking advantage of her, but Heather brushes it off.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"Day13_1\"\r\n\r\nThe movie maintains to keep the suspense by only giving us small clues along the way, such as supplying evidence of the mysterious history of their neighbourhood and how that information may help Colton to slowly uncover the secrets of those living in the house across the street. I feel the audience may become entertained by the mystery and will stay for the ride to see how it all plays out. There is also some unnecessary scenes and weird character motivations that confused me as a viewer, as in the beginning Colton\u2019s actions felt unjust as he immediately starts spying on his new neighbours and even goes so far as to buy an expensive $600 priced surveillance camera equipment, after only seeing at first some lights flicker and their new neighbours moving in during the night. All this can be forgiven after we soon learn that there is something suspicious going on. There were some unnecessary scenes that I felt the movie was only including in order to fill the full 91 minutes of its run time, as there were shots of Colton spying at night that were repeated when there was nothing happening. Not to forget, there was also a dream sequence that felt utterly pointless, as it didn\u2019t add anything to the film.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"day13_2\"\r\n\r\nEven though it has its faults, such as the failed CGI they used towards the last 5 minutes, I can honestly say that the film kept me engaged throughout with the help of a strong performance from our main lead protagonist Colton - portrayed by the actor Alex MacNeil. Also the actor who played his friend Michael: portrayed by JT Palmer, as he had given a much needed comedic relief performance, that was most appreciated due to the majority of this film having a very dark tone throughout. The actor I enjoyed in this the most, due to his charismatic performance, was none other than Martin Kove. Who most people would know him as the strict, no mercy given Cobra Kai sensei John Kreese from the \u2018Karate Kid\u2019. I felt his performance of the creepy older man said to be Heather\u2019s foster father - Magnus Torvald, was used very effectively. As they mostly kept him in the shadows, making his character look even more suspicious of being a suspected cult satanic worshipper.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWith an unexpected twist ending I never saw coming and the anticipation of waiting to see what the outcome of the mystery of this film was, I recommend checking out \u201cDay 13\u201d just on that concept alone. As I assure you, that you will find yourself becoming curious on what was going to happen, that you will be stuck to your seat until its dramatic demonic finale.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 7\/10<\/span>","post_title":"Day 13 Review","post_excerpt":"The evil next door","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"day-13-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 14:24:10","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 14:24:10","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205341","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205326,"post_author":"5","post_date":"2020-09-14 13:32:45","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-14 12:32:45","post_content":"Directed By:<\/strong> Jared Cohn<\/span>\r\n\r\nStarring:<\/strong> William Shatner, Lea Hutton Beasmore, Jason Brooks<\/span>\r\n\r\nRunning Time:<\/strong> 1hr 38mins<\/span>\r\n\r\nFormat:<\/strong> DVD<\/span>\r\n\r\nGenre:<\/strong> Action\/Adventure\/Horror<\/span>\r\n\r\nLicensed By:<\/strong> 4Digital Media<\/span>\r\n\r\nRelease Date:<\/strong> 14th September 2020<\/span>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nFor generations, one family has been trying to locate a mysterious relic that has been said to have cursed this family.

None of which sounded very original and left me with no surprise that this was a direct to DVD release, as it would stand zero chance of doing well in the cinema. The only interest I had in this title was the fact it starred three established Star Trek actors, in William Shatner (Star Trek: The Original Series), Jeri Ryan (Star Trek Voyager, Picard) and Jason Brooks who appeared in the 2009 Star Trek film. The first two actors gave a stellar performance, with Shatner acting as the aged father who was unsuccessful in his time searching for the cursed relic. He gave a grand portrayal of a father that was harsh and disappointed in his only son, but who also seemed to be battling against his own mental health as he seemed to be displaying moments of alzheimers. Jeri\u2019s performance of Johns\u2019 wife was also noteworthy and realistic in behavior. Unfortunately I couldn\u2019t say that for Jason\u2019 portrayal of the lead character John. Perhaps it could have just been the script, but there were moments where I thought he could have performed better in certain scenes as it made it all the more unbelievable.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"tombdevilsrevenge1\"\r\n\r\nThe entire plot to this film had potential, however after the first half hour it went downhill fast! The monster designs were original and impressive to begin with, the chase scene near the end of the film as John is trying to exit the cave - simply had just one bad guy chasing after him, neither of them were very fast. To me it lacked in terror, compared to the earlier scenes of people being murdered. At the end of the day, if just a handful of scenes were just reshot and a new editor was brought on board - this film would be worth not only adding to your collection but also would be easily recommended to friends. Whereas at the moment, it left me with more questions than answers.<\/span>\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nIf you enjoy your B-Movies and are indeed a devoted fan of William Shatner - then by all means pick up this film. \u2018The Tomb: Devils Revenge\u2019, will be available to both buy digitally and on DVD from the 14th September, from 4Digital Media Ltd.<\/span>\r\n\r\nOverall:<\/strong> 5\/10<\/span>","post_title":"The Tomb: Devil\u2019s Revenge Review","post_excerpt":"All hell is about to break loose","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"the-tomb-devils-revenge-review","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-05 14:26:13","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-05 14:26:13","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"http:\/\/comicbuzz.com\/?p=205326","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":205308,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2020-09-10 23:32:00","post_date_gmt":"2020-09-10 22:32:00","post_content":"

Leo (Javier Bardem) is not well. He is in bed and it soon becomes apparent that all is not as it should be. His daughter, Molly (Elle Fanning) has come to spend the day with him and take him to a variety of appointments across the city including the dentist and optometrist. In his mind, he is transported to parallel times in his life.. spending time with his ex-wife, Dolores (Salma Hayek) and also to some time spent in Greece. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Molly is really struggling with her dad.. his dementia is making life hard for everyone, including himself. After the two appointments, Molly decides to stay with Leo but he manages to slip out during the night, wearing only his pyjamas and dressing gown.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Where is he going?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Javier Bardem plays a role unlike many we\u2019ve seen him play in the past, but it just felt like the story meandered a bit and never really went anywhere. W<\/span>ith a cast this strong and a subject as fragile as dementia, I hoped that the relationship between Leo and Molly would have a bit more depth to it and gone somewhere, but even Leo\u2019s \u2018mind ramblings\u2019 didn\u2019t really lead anywhere. Perhaps<\/span> it\u2019s more about the journey taken?<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Maybe it\u2019s just me and other people are seeing things that I\u2019m not. It\u2019s said that Chris Rock was initially going to be in the movie but for some reason wasn\u2019t. Wonder what he would have added to the story..<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Go and give \u2018The Roads Not Taken<\/em>\u2019 a watch and see what you think. Maybe you\u2019ll see something I didn\u2019t. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

As a schoolgirl, Lucy Gulliver (Geraldine Viswanathan) started collecting items belonging to ex-boyfriends, keeping them as a reminder of what once was. Eight years later and Lucy is now a successful Gallery Assistant in one of the top New York galleries, and dating Max (Utkarsh Ambudkar), a good looking colleague she works with. Everything seems perfect in Lucy\u2019s life; great job, great friends and a boyfriend she adores... that is until she gets very drunk at an event after seeing Max with his arms around another woman. She makes a total show of herself and is then ceremoniously dumped by Max and fired. Distraught, she gets into what she thinks is an Uber, but it is in fact just a random car. The guy is totally freaked out but Lucy is in such a state, he drives her home... Lucy has become well known for her \u2018hoarding\u2019 of items from past relationships and sees absolutely nothing wrong with it. Little does she know, that her hoarding will ultimately lead to helping dozens of other people move on from past relationships...<\/span><\/p>\r\n

It\u2019s been a long while since we\u2019ve been able to share the communal experience of sitting in a cinema and watching a movie together. Something that we\u2019ve always taken for granted was taken away in an instant. Society had to adapt and so we switched to watching movies online. It began to feel as though we would never set foot inside a cinema again.. Thankfully now after months away, we can once again have the experience of watching films on a big screen, together but apart..<\/span><\/p>\r\n

\u2018The Broken Hearts Gallery\u2019 movie is kinda just what we need at the moment.. a tale of friendship, obsession, being in love, being out of love and heartbroken... it\u2019s all there.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Dacre Montgomery is great as Nick and has an air of the Zac Efron about him looks-wise, which in my books is never a bad thing. A great cast overall, the only one little downside was that it felt a little long. Don\u2019t let that put you off though. If you\u2019re looking for an entertaining movie and also looking to make your first visit to a cinema since lockdown, then give this one a watch. A really great soundtrack adds to the whole package.<\/span><\/p>\r\n
