Theodore Rex (1995)

Review Theodore Rex

Earlier this year, the hilarious Kung Fury already showed that police officers don’t like to work with dinosaurs. It was, like the rest of the film, a bizarre moment. However, there is a feature-length film which has used that concept fully. I recently read about the existence of this film and the incredible story behind it. This is actually the most expensive “straight to video” movie ever made, with a price tag of $ 33.5 million. The film was planned to be released in cinemas, but because of various production problems (read this article ) the distributor didn’t want to do that anymore. It is a film that everyone involved, including lead actress Whoopie Goldberg, would rather forget. I would also like to add myself itself to that list. Continue reading

Sharknado (2013)

There are times when specific movies can become a hype. Thanks to the internet a movie like Snakes on Plane got to keep its name and for the last couple of weeks Sharknado seemed to be the movie of the moment.

Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Dennis Quaid, Naomi Watts, Anna Faris, Emma Stone, Kieran Culkin, Greg Kinnear, Seth MacFarlane and Richard Gere are just some of the picks for this comedy. Movie audiences have grown to like the Apatow inspired gross out humour and Movie 43 is full of it. The question is, will you be able to enjoy it? Continue reading

P.S. I love you (2007)

P.S. I love you, starring Gerard Butler and Hilary Swank, was an impulse buy as it’s sometimes nice to watch a romantic movie together. Unfortunately the thought that this was a romantic comedy proved to be completely wrong. This movie is the confirmation to not always trust an IMDB score. It scored 6,9 there, but when you check the score on rottentomatoes, you realise that it’s actually very bad with a 23%. I agree completely with this last score. Continue reading
