A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014)
Family Guy gone west
A great cast with Ribisi, Silverman ,Neeson and Theron doing a fairly respectable job.
If McFarlane was not actually in the film one would definitely notice his paws all over this with many of the gags and characters resembling Family Guy. Definitely a McFarlane film for McFarlane fans.
The issue for me here though is McFarlane the actor. I can only imagine how much of an impact this film would have had if someone like Jeff Daniels played the lad. McFarlane is in nearly every scene and he becomes somewhat tedious. His timing for the joke lines is pretty impeccable (and there are a lot of joke lines) but he gives the impression he is going out of his way to not make an effort and its all too easy for him. I say keep the director McFarlane and ditch the acting.
The film has its fair share of funny gags, many of them miss but enough make it to make this film enjoyable enough way to pass a couple of hours. Probably not for those looking for deep a meaningful films but if fart jokes make your day there are a couple of pretty funny ones here.
Watch it if you want to give your brain a rest for a few hours
Jersey Shore Shark Attack (2012)
Terrible
When a film starts off with "Come in, I won't bite you. Unless you want me to" and goes downhill from there you know you are in trouble.
Total waste of time, from the script (see above) to the special affects (sharks look like kids bathtub play things) , there is nothing good about this movie.
The acting is what you would expect from the TV show, so, umm, not good.
I think it is the first film I have seen in a while that I can think of nothing at all good to say about it.
SyFy channel are known for their cheesiness, they outdid themselves this time.
Unless you are a fan (and even then) avoid.
Beyond Sherwood Forest (2009)
Truly Horrible
Had a conversation with friends the other day where we discussed the worst film we had ever seen. I found it difficult to answer. Having seen this in the meantime the answer is obvious (to me at least). This is truly one of the worst films I have ever seen. Whoever threw money at this tripe really should know better
Acting is horrible, director sesms to not care, no effort at consistency. The script isn't good, full of stereotypical lines but any chance of it coming across better is ruined by the acting and directing. The special effects are horrible
Avoid at all costs. Its time of your life you will never get back.
