Rambo (Rambo IV)
by justinIts attack of the old action hero's. Bruce Willis did Die Hard 4. Harry just finished off Indy 4, And Stallone has dragged out Rocky and Rambo. Now I've not seen Rocky, and really enjoyed Indy 4 and Die Hard 4, because while they still had violence and mayhem, they were fun and, in a weird way, charming. Enter Rambo.
This movie is so over the top and so ridiculous because it really doesent need any explenation. Its Rambo for gods sake so the creators knew they didnt need to waste any time gum flapping about the protagonists history and past. Whats here is exactly what is required. Rambo killing people. And holy hell, knock me down with a sock full of sand if he doesent beat seven shades of shit out of his opposition.
If this was anyone else than Rambo, there would be no excuse for the insane amounts of violence and would be probably outlawed, but its somehow slipped past cencorship. Bodies fly apart, people get blown up, legs arms heads gone, throats ripped out by hand, arrows nailing people. Theres even scenes of kids being shot, stabbed and burned while they cry helplessly. Its ri-goddamn-diculous. Sad thing is, that sort of shit really does happen.
The plot is paper thin and stereotypically stupid. Good christian missionaries kidnapped by Burmese army pshyco's anyone? Its caused alot of greif for the people it portrays as the bad guys. And when I say cause grief I mean hurt their feelings. Boo frickety hoo. Athough it does take itself way too seriously, and doesent do any favors for anyone.
Its biggest downfall by far is not the controversial violence or anything, its the fact that it has a beginning part, a middle scene, and no goddamn end scene. It completely lacks of any sort of ending scene. Well, ok it does have one, but the way the movie has played out up until then, you think your only halfway through, and then it gives you this stupid, wordless cutscene that those who havent been glued to the trilogy will not have a freaking clue about. It really, truly irritated me.
On top of that, the acting and script was not up to entertainment standards as far as I'm concerned. All this movie is, is one big loud dumb-fest. And if you cannot stand to sit through that, then dont bother to watch. I enjoyed parts of it, like the hardcore action (to an extent) but picked out plenty of problems. Its dumb. But its Rambo. So that makes it okay.
Justins Best Bit: When you get pissed off theres only one thing left to do, get on a massive machine gun and endlessly blast away at villiage burning, child killing rapist Burmese sociopath soldiers. Their leader is a paedophile. He gets his guts ripped out. Almost a fair punishment.Ive not seen the other Rambo movies, but I imagine they operate on similar levels of stupidity. But more fun, laughable stupidity. This took itself too seriously, and was a bit unnessacary at times. And thats coming from me. Me, who cried at the awesomeness of Planet Terror. Sad thing is, the sort of thing shown here is exactly the sort of shit that happens in the worlds awful places. So maybe unleashing Rambo on the offenders isnt so bad after all. Maybe.

Im pretty sure this is not a sequal to the far superior 2004 Dawn of the Dead, and im also pretty sure that it's best to rent on a drunken Saturday.

Dog Soldiers
by justinDog Soldiers just goes to show that you dont need a massive budget and bombastic special effects to make a purely enjoyable movie (does'nt it Micheal Bay?) This is honestly the best werewolf movie out there, second maybe only to Underworld, but to tell you the truth I enjoyed this just as much, maybe more.
The werewolf effects are entirely anamatronic and done with suits and pupeteers, but as with alien, it adds that effect of them not being CG. They are really there, in the frame with the actors trying to eat them alive. The werewolves are tall, scruffy and lanky, they kinda look a little shaky, but the camera isnt ever focused on them for very long, making fast paced and frightening action sequences.
Dog Soldiers also features top notch british humor, with dozens and dozens of fantastic funny one liners and comments peppering the carnage. But what is so great about them is that as enjoyable as they are, and as much as you get to like the characters, it never ever takes away from the grizzly atmosphere of being stalked and hunted by bloodthirsty lycanthropes.
Be warned, this is a gory one. Not outlandish sick-for-the-sake-of-being-sick gore, but well done and effective violence. Another thing it does well is actually makes you give a shit about the characters. Giving them genuine personality instead of just obviouse attempts at giving them quirks designed to make you feel pity makesit that much better.
This is truly a great werewolf movie, and I reccommend it to fans of british humor, army humor, monster movie lovers, werewolf movie lovers, gore heads movie enthusiasts and everyone inbetween. Except, you know, for kids and wussy people.
Justins Best Bit: Sean Pertwee as Sarge delivers most of the best lines. "We are now, up against, live, hostile targets. So, should little red riding hood show up with a bazooka and a bad attitude I expect you to tune the bitch." Also, the sequence of Spoon vs werewolf is absolutely awesome. How many guys take on a werewolf bare knuckled and beat the living snot out of it? Spoon is one of my all time favorite heroes for that. Champion.Apologies for the double post, but I left out something in Justins Best Bit that I felt was absolutely nessacary to include. Otherwise I would have just left it.

Rogue (Rogue Crocodile)
by justinEver been browsing the weekly rental shelf at your local DVD emporium and counted about a dozen terrible-but-so-terrible-its-great-to-watch type of monster movies? Often entitled "Grizzly" or "Cobra" or "Komodo" or "Panda"...................... *ahem*, they're something silly and ultimately nessacary to the lifeblood of Hollywood, to pick out fresh talent or give rookie directors and film crew their first bumbling run at providing entertainment value for those with their arse parked in front of a screen.
Well, Rogue, is essentially just another one of those movies, except its one that tries really really hard to be like the more successful monster outings, but comes up just a little short. The CG crocodile, at a distance look way too much like a computer model for you to feel as if your looking at a real animal, but the anamatronic puppetry of the close up shots are not too shabby.
Its a premise we all know and, lets face it, love. Group of people find themselves cornered by something with the capacity to kill them, youve got the token love interest, the token good guy, the token dumbass who gets someone killed and the token 16 year old girl who screams and cries and only exists because the director thinks she makes the situation seem more chilling (yawn). But because it has these stereotypical elements, it makes the scenes that try to break the mould of monster movie formula look completely out of place. There used to be a time where you could watch a group survival film, and predict absolutely everything that would happen, down to the order the characters would die in. It was a perfectly good and fun formula, one you could rely on and one that you enjoyed. Now creature features are trying to be all different, trying to change, but they dont have a damn clue what they are gonna change to yet. People you expect to get killed arent always the ones that get killed straight up anymore. The environment the characters are trapped in, isnt stuck with for the whole movie, making it almost seem like middle parts of two different movies stuck together.
Its saving graces include miraculous airshots of the Kimberly and Ahnem Land. A crocodile that actually, you know, moves and acts like a crocodile is nice to see. And thankfully the acting wasnt absolutely terrible. You know, Hardley Tom Hanks callibre but not Kim Basinger in Cellular quality either.
It was billed to do to crocodiles what Jaws did to sharks, villinise them. But we Australians have a very good understanding of the animal itself, and this has hardley the film-making breakthrough quality of Jaws, so I dont think anyone is going out and hunting them down after seeing this anytime soon.
All in all, Rogue delivers the occasional splatter of gruesomeness, with that oversized animal come monster feel to it. Its a movie that takes part in the trend of trying to take creature features in a new direction. The question that remains is where exactly are they going?
Justins Best Bit: After worrying when and where the dog will die the entire movie, it is rather satisfying to see it finally get chomped in a way that showcases the power of a crocodiles jaws (most powerful jaws in the animal kingdom. Look it up). Satisfying in a rather sick way of course. Kind of like inserting your finger into a---ah forget it.Monster movies are rapidly changing. This may very well be one of the last ones that retains qualities of the traditional group survival formula. Lets pray it isnt.
