Make Up Post

Because I flaked out last Thursday and didn't write some dog reviews, I decided to write two posts today. Also I'm switching soso and watchable days. I write another blog Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I takes longer to write a multi review post and I usually have more dog's and soso's to write. I'll now use Tuesdays for soso and keep Thursday for dogs. Wednesdays become watchable day. I like starting and ending the week on a movie worth seeing.

These films are Dogs to make up for last week. Later I'll write the soso post.

Deadly Species

Internet Movie Data Base calls this a B movie and I so agree. The plot, if you can call it one, involves archaeologists and some bad guys going into the jungle to study some ruins. Apparently this is in the Florida everglades but I didn't catch that when I watched it. The baddies are looking for the fountain of youth.

Teenage boys might like this film for frontal female nudity, but nothing about it held my interest. The creatures they run into look so stupid as to make it laughable.

The Descent

A few months back I reviewed a film called "The Cave" with a very similar theme. This film has cave creatures who can't see but have outstanding hearing and the humans who find them speculate they "evolved" and come out at night to hunt.

All in all it just follows the typical boring horror film boiler plate. Many dead, one left to tell the story. Yawn. Maybe it could be interesting had they really examined how a group of women started going on adventures together. No, they missed that opportunity. Shame on them.

Dawn of the Dead

I'm so not a horror fan so little of this film appealed. The logic of a virus that makes dead people walk and want to infect others just doesn't begin to work for me.

A group of non infected people barricades themselves inside a mall until they hear about an island that's "safe." They make plans to get to this island and again with the high body count of who really cares everyone is gonna die anyway.
