Killer Pad (2008)

This film is truly awful

[1/10 · 10 February 2008]

I watched this film after seeing it was produced by the team that did "Dude where's my car". I know it's not the best reason to watch a film, but what the heck? I had an afternoon to kill.

There are some films that transcend the depths of awfulness and are then actually reborn again as an entertaining must see movie (See Vanilla Ice's classic Cool as Ice). However this film is just truly terrible. The characters are your typical stereotypes and the film just goes from one bad joke to another for 90 minutes. I don't know why but I watched the film to the end, I guess I'm a sucker for punishment. Once it did finish I was just left wishing that I could get the 90 minutes of my life back that I had just wasted. I was left feeling dirty and violated so I then watched Leon to try and cleanse myself once more.

Dockers (1999 TV Movie)

Outstanding performance

[10/10 · 12 July 2007]

A great working class film that echoes the experiences of the families living through this awful dispute.

A special mention also has to go to a young James Davis Jr who gives an exceptional performance in his first film outing. His on screen presence reminds me somewhat of DiNiro and along with his chiselled body and rugged good looks. He was surely an inspiration for the movie stars of today such as Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and Mr Bean.

I must say that watching his inspirational performance brought a tear to my eye and touched a part in my heart that is seldom touched by on screen performances. How such a promising young star slipped back into obscurity after this film is one of the movie industries greatest mysteries and is a loss to films lovers everywhere. This is something I mourn every night.
