To me, this movie is perfection.
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
There comes a movie with such a grandiose title that it simply 'must' be watched. This one has escaped my grasp at least twice, one due to time constraints and another due to a machine error. That's okay though, I finally got my hands on it and I wasn't disappointed.The movie (at least DVD) starts out with an advertisement for an online movie portal; it's unusually longer than expected and the DVD does away with trailers entirely. The opening advertisement uses one of the models from within the movie to help advertise it – if it wasn't for the model, the advertisement might be skipped; they acknowledge this and further helps with the B-theme of the movie. Oh, B-theme you say? Yes, this move is ripe with b-grade themed horror movie elements. It takes place in a mansion and plays on a theme of super models competing for lead role; all for reality television. There are at least two scenes with nudity, and at least one sex scene gone awry. Nothing really nasty takes place in these scenes and the nudity is nothing to write home about; its probably there simply to help assist the horror movie theme.The movie plays out quite well like this, but this is just the backdrop for the main story. Some evil characters are being called to the real world for a purpose. This purpose is simply to gather something called 'the magic'; evidently someone is misusing it and they intend to put a stop to it. Some characters die and the evil creatures have a point to be made on occasion. There is a Leprechaun and he has some proverbial tropes to make. He otherwise serves as being useless most of the time. There is a plot (apparently), but the movie seems to be more involved with the acting, special effects, backdrop, and otherwise play on B-grade horror. You are simply not going to find a good movie in the sense of good movies here; this movie is deliberately made to fit this theme and you are watching it for that reason. The movie is cheesy, ridiculous, and bad in a good way. I highly recommend the movie to those that like the whole 'B-Theme' of horror movie fame; you will not be disappointed.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=8068).
A quintet of beautiful women fiercely compete with each other to become the top spokes model for a high end line of lingerie designed by formidable diva DeeDee DeVille (strongly played with deliciously wicked relish by Jeryl Prescott). Unbeknownst to the ladies, DeeDee has invoked four mythical beings from an ancient charm bracelet so she steal the gals' souls and remain young forever. Director Charles Band relates the entertaining story at a zippy pace and maintains a generally serious tone throughout. The compact and engrossing script by August White and Kent Roudebush offers a neat twist by making the monsters the reluctant pawns of an evil human instead of all-out nasty beasts. Moreover, the creatures are a cool and colorful bunch, with Peter Badalamenti as lecherous cyclops Bloody Bones and especially Nathan Phillips as bitter and disgusted leprechaun Farr Darrig rating as the definite stand-outs. The bevy of sexy babes certainly doesn't hurt matters any: Tiffany Thornton as sweet goody goody two shoes Audrey, Nikki Leigh as the insecure and self-conscious Sheila, Masuimi Max as the determined Mika, Alex Rose Wiesel as ruthless arrogant bitch Darla, and Ana Sophia Berglund as ditsy slut Erin. In addition, there are amusing performances from Seth Peterson as the effeminate Pirl and Charlie O'Connell as slimy producer Baxter Randolph. Howard Wexler's crisp cinematography and Richard Band's shivery Celtic-flavored score are both up to par. A fun little fright flick.
UNLUCKY CHARMSThe second terrible movie of my birthday night was Unlucky Charms. I thought that it couldn't get much worst after Piranhaconda... but I was so wrong.Unlucky Charms is about a reality TV show for models. They are all trying to get the top prize, but one of the judges has got a magic charm bracelet that lets out these creatures who kill off the contestants so that she can have their souls and stay looking young.Sounds rubbish right? It was worst than that.I honestly can only think of one good thing to say about this movie. There was one character in the film that I really liked. He was one of the creatures and he had this huge mouth. The mask and make up was terrible, but I just thought he looked really good.The story was so bad... I hate these reality shows anyway... so to make a movie from it is just hell foe me. The only reality show that appeared in a story that I loved was Dead Set. I can't stand watching these women pretty much begging to be a model. I can't think of anything worst.The acting was diabolical. Every single person in this film should never be put in front of a camera again! Name and shame time... Jessica Lou Allen, Peter Donald Badalamenti II, Roman Beetz, Sophia Beetz and Anna Sophia Berglund... lower your heads in shame.Again just like Piranhaconda, there were plenty of half naked women posing and bouncing about for absolutely no reason. In the end we were just laughing, saying we should get a clicker to count how many times there are pointless shots of women's butts.The worst part for me was the fact that this film didn't even have the comedy value. I laughed a few times at pretty much everything in this film, but once you got about 30 minutes in, there is not much laughter after that.The effects and make up were terrible. You could clearly see the monsters were just wearing rubber masks. They didn't even attempt to blend in the eye sockets. what a joke.I suggest avoiding this film at all costs... it is close to being one of the worst movies I have seen... not quite though.I will give this film 2 out of 10.Not even worth a quote!For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
This review may reveal plot points, so spoiler alert. This is a stinky pile of trash. Bear in mind I have loved Full Moon since the VHS days and I appreciate what they often succeed at doing with their unusual movies, but this one stunk it up! Let's do some of this in question format. Who was that red guy and what was wrong with his face? Who were the others, exactly? Why did they indiscriminately "greenbeam" people with varying results? Why did they "greenbeam" those 2 and kill them? If you are killing bad people, why did that #1 bitch not get it first or at all? I wanted her to die and she did not! How did that black lady have control of everything and why didn't she have more control than she did? Why did the creatures oppose her, exactly, and why did they seem so weak also? There was no real plot, no explanation of their "plot", no conclusions or anything. Bad effects and senseless deaths where the victims just vanished forever. It would have been cool if that one "bitch" was turned fat and then stayed fat and maybe the others could have been similarly punished for their wickedness and then maybe have the chubby or the mean one win out for their sincerity or purity of heart or whatever. The best part was that it just ended, oh and some of the acting was just awful. Terrible movie, even for Full Moon. Please get some help with the script writing, I think Charles is overworked with that AND the music and all.
