Film no 26 Identity
Odd little film this, all about a group of people who get stuck in the rain at a very moody and gloomy motel on the highway.
A good cast make good work of the twists and turns of the story as the bodies start to pile up and we begin to wonder who is behind it all and whats their reason for these seemingly unrelated killings?
The direction is tight and through great use of lighting effects and the near constant rain the whole things looks and feels like a nightmare as the residents start to realise they are trapped with whatever nutbag it is stalking them.
The while thing feels very much like stalker slasher style film, but that couldnt be farther from the truth, yes it does have those elements, but it never feels as sleazy as those films.
Overall its a well put together film with a nice plot and few good twists along the way.

Film no 27 the unborn
a truly awful film and another in the long line of lets get a hot chick possessed and then have her whig out over the course of a week or so, at least that way we can put her in her underwear or the shower a few times to show the passing of time, and it dont feel sleazy then do it?
wrong!! it does and did feel sleazy, this is a film that has grand ideas but no style or enough skill to pull them off, as such what we are lift with is a very very very dull film.
rubbish and very obvious jump and scare tactics are employed throughout, as such everything about this film feels borrowed or stolen from somewhere else, but it hasnt done it a nice wink and a nod to the original sorta thing, its just used the scenes but made them worse through the bad acting!
dull and predictable, avoid this film at all costs

Film no 28 Mean Girls 2
this is quite possibly the worst and most utterly pointless sequel ever made.
i mean really come on what is the point in rehashing the original in almost its entirety but this time forget the jokes and good actresses.
this is shameless money grabbing nonsense flying on the coat tails of the far far superior original.
the first film is a very sharp and very witty look at school life, this film attempts to recreate that same feel and it falls flat on its face at every turn.
the soundtrack is sadly lacking the punch and fun of the original, as are most of the cast and from the look of it, so is the school!
thats probably where this one feels the majority of the bite, the cast here arent in the least bit likable, the first had a very obvious and easily identifiable heroin and villians and the suchlike, but here they are all pretty much just very annoying and rather dull.
sorry guys you dropped the ball on this one, i want my 90 minutes back please!
