REVIEW: The Amityville Uprising (2022)
I seem to be reviewing a lot of B movies recently, the latest one to come across my desk is The Amityville Uprising, released by Lionsgate. Not sure why Lionsgate are making and releasing B movies, they clearly don't need the small change that this film would make.
The film starts off with some terrible CGI showing a chemical blast at a military base. The general idea of the story is that this strange blast, creates a cloud of toxic acid rain. Most of the story takes place at a police station.
I say this because the first 40 minutes is literally just people talking to each other about not very interesting things. Don't get me wrong, there is some funny one liners in there, but action wise, nothing really happens.
But the second 40 minutes of the film, it all picks up. The toxic acid rain will kill you, if it touches your skin, it will also then raise you up as a Zombie. The film is all about a few people trying to stay alive and kill zombies. Pretty standard stuff, but there are some funny one liners in there. I rarely laugh at such films, but the makers of this film realised that they had a very low budget and a crap storyline, so actually made the effort to have some funny lines, which I quite enjoyed. Throw in the fact you can see the whole film in 40 minutes, and it crosses that line into "Good Terrible".
There is also some really dumb clips from fake news broadcasts, which made me laugh, as well as a bizaree video game like feature, where upon the first time you are introduced to a character, you get a screen like below.
It makes no sense, but I just kinda liked it.
I also want to applaud the film makers for the ending, FINALLY we get an ending in a Zombie film that makes sense.
The Good
I enjoyed the sillyness and one liners.
The Bad
The first 40 minutes are a waste of time.
Overall
The film is stupid, but I still kinda liked it. I thought the ending was good, and the one liners made me laugh.
I score The Amityville Uprising (for a B movie), a solid 7/10

REVIEW: The Matrix Resurrections
I was promised a terrible woke sequel, but the bad guys are still the Communists (machines) and taking the red pill still wakes you up.
The story is cringe at times, but it's still a somewhat enjoyable action film.
Set sixty years after the events of The Matrix Revolutions, the film follows our hero Neo, who is now living a somewhat normal life as Thomas Anderson in San Francisco as a Game Developer, and creator of The Matrix video games, (insert major cringe at this point with terrible 4th wall breaking dialog). Anderson is seeing a therapist and describes a psychosis of him believing The Matrix is real, after a while a new version of Morpheus offers him the red pill and reopens his mind to the world of the Matrix.
Neo joins a group of rebels and we have pretty much the same old story being told again.
Not only is there a new Morpheus, there is also a new Agent Smith, the problem here is that they have just recast old characters, and the original actors were so iconic in their roles, that this instantly seems alike a huge let down.
The Good
It is still the tale of good vs evil, the common man versus the elite, the special effects are incredible as you would expect.
The Bad
The film is not great, it is also not terrible
Overall
The promises of "reclaiming the red pill" narrative doesn't really materialise, the film is not overly woke, the problem is the film is just not that good. But that is because of the very high standard of the original.
I score the film a super generous 7/10 mainly as I am a huge Matrix fan. Could've and should've been better. We are literally living in a world right now that the original film fantasized about, but the film makers were too cowardly to take head on.

REVIEW: Eternals - Starring Richard Madden, Salma Hayek & Angelina Jolie
Unlike previous Marvel films that would take one character at a time, before throwing them all into a film together, this film does the opposite and it suffers for it.
Ever notice how the bad guys in Marvel films are always the ones saving the planet through depopulation? They are the Bill Gates of the Marvel Universe!
