Review of The Giant Gila Monster (1959) by Desiree V — 06 Nov 2005

Another batch of ratings...alot of "6's".

[i]28 Days Later[/i] had an interesting plot, but was a little hard to follow. By the end I didn't care if they survived or not...

[i]The Giant Gila Monster[/i] was gloriously bad. It is exactly what a "B" horror movie should be. Unbelievable plot, cheesy/fake looking monster, bad acting...all the essentials. I loved tha way the characters kept describing the gila monster as being pink and black when the film was in black and white and you had to imagine the coloration (I kept imagining hot pink for some reason).

[i]American Vampire[/i] was another gloriously bad movie. This one was just too funny to be taken seriously as a part of the horror genre. Imagine Adam West (the tv Batman) as a surfer dude/Van Helsing character. I think you can get the idea of how the movie was just from that...

[i]The Ring Two[/i] was a decent follow-up to [i]The Ring[/i]. It had some very good effects and a plot that seemed to make sense (other than the girl killed you by having you watch a videotape, which didn't make sense in the first movie). Some questions were answered to tie the two movies together. The car scene with the deer freaked me out a little bit, but then we have a lot of deer around here.

[i]Master and Commander[/i] was ok. It had some good scenery and a few interesting characters. I should probably watch it again when I can devote more attention to it because I was working on my homework at the time and missed some things. Perhaps I will watch it again sometime and give it a more fair review.
