Exit Speed (2008)
Great fun great action pace.
An enjoyable return to the 'what if everybody was in the desert and wanted to kill everyone on the other side with just the resources they can salvage...' The kind of thing we used to enjoy on video in the 80's with a couple of well recognisable talents from great 80's movies. Leah Thompson - still got it and looking just as lovely, Fred Ward just as gritty, and Desmond Harrington every bit as good as he is in TV's Dexter. Never dull, never predictable and quite some violent action give Exit Speed the right ingredients for a gratuitous normal folks fighting back scenario. More than adequate talent makes this picture a great DVD watch for fans of straight out action.
Ceský sen (2004)
One big indulgent prANK
after weeks of advertising at the tax payers expense via a student grant; about 2000 hapless consumers including the aged and handicapped listen to preposterous ribbon cutting speeches and charge/jog while complaining about lack of parking across a paddock to find the hypermarket is a canvas facade on scaffolding. Listening to amateur Czech consumers angry abuse about the perpetrators is a very funny thing!
The build up was painful as filmmakers attempt to poke obvious jibes at the likes of BBDMs Czech office that helped them create a radical campaign. About as funny as most non-English speaking comedy; "look Vladimir, he throw pie in face!".....yes, we've seen that one...sigh...welcome to the West. But it was worth it to see the irate responses of the elderly and confused.
Why? When the filmmakers were finally quizzed. I believe their point was that citizens blindly obey and will go to the EU referendum the same way. The Govt and big business are lying to us. 'Look…' they say; 'we just paid them to do the same thing.'
If you enjoy the spoutings of incensed people, Milo says check it out.
Goodbye Pork Pie (1980)
Classic piece of NZ cinema
A classic NZ movie. Two rebels and a stolen yellow mini treat us to a bunch of laughs as they stay ahead of the police on a 1000 mile road trip from top to bottom of NZ. Goodbye Pork Pie was a local blockbuster and sold to more overseas territories than any film of the time This is available as PAL VHS in NZ for less than $nz15.00 about $us9.00
28 Days Later... (2002)
Wasted opportunity.
A promising premise which was underused. A lot of user comments make comparisons to The Day of The Triffids. Survivors was a class Brit TV sci fi from the 70's that was set in a population reduced to .5% by unexplained lab virus. This series had more fun exploring the fragility of society based on numbers required for agriculture and production. Re: trivia - advising was shot digitally to look real. The prodtn looked anything but real as all images fore and background were as unfocused and grainy as WW2 newsreel. Maybe this is just inferiority on the part VILLAGE CINEMAS QUEEN STREET projection???
