Doug Lucas

I originally liked the movie when it came out. In reflection, I was more entertained by the story than the actual film. Christian Slayter put absolutely no acting effort into his portrayal of Charlie Luciano. Just the same character that he plays in everything. They should remake this film with a better cast.

Great concept. Decent D-list cast. Two main problems were character development and editing. Director wanted to explore a lot and didn't carry any of the plot points fully. Characters revealed interesting characteristics, like a girl with a nervous shake and the central character seeing spirits, then the story failed to explore or utilize the point. Just hard to follow.

Don't know what version others watched. Mine had very low production quality. Audio track was off. Very predictable script with very basic dialog. Entire film was one-note. Probably Travolta's worst performance since Staying Alive. He was actually the weakest member of the cast. His delivery was "scripted" and he seemed very uncomfortable in the role. Bad film, bad acting. Glad I only paid $5.49 for the rental.

I never miss anything Dracula, so I was really looking forward to the focus on this part of the story. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. As a stand alone film, it was extremely one note. Had I not already been a Dracula follower, I would probably have been a bit lost. Any back story about anything would have been helpful. Acting was fine, no complaints. But, since it began at the ending, there was no where for the story to go. If you are hoping for George Hamilton with fangs, you won't find him here. Just a big ugly rat.They did set us up for a sequel, but it won't follow any of Brahman Stokers novel.

It seems like Disney is delivering a host of stupid Avenger films hopefully leading up to a big block buster. Like the last Thor film, Ant Man isn't interesting enough to be a good action film and not funny enough to be a good spoof. Rudd, Pfeiffer and Douglas did their jobs well enough, they just didn't have good material to work with. Key characters are introduced with no back story. Alien creatures are the silliest since Martin the Martian. The main villians dialog is so slow, I started to suspect that he was trying to bore the multiverse to death. The biggest problem is a nonsensical conflict that no one will care about. One take away, Ant-mans helmet is, apparently, very poor quality. Hopefully he can still return it to Amazon. I have to give this one 1.5 whatevers.

This is basically Iron Man's Bahama Cruise. It's 2 hours of setup for a 5 minute battle. Too many central characters, none developed well. No defined hero. Just a bunch of stuff happens.

The movie sits you down comfortably and quietly, then grabs you by your nose hair and throws you around the room. As soon as you have it figured out, it gives you the middle finger and runs the other way. It's none predictability and disregard for conventional film production rules make it the best film of the year. Watch it but don't try to make sense out of it.

As compared to Banners Hulk, Jennifer's She-Hulk is small and not very hulky. I know it's CGI, but actually looks like bad Halloween make-up. Other than the green complexion, She-Hulk just looks like a tall, but normal woman.
