Warning Spoilers Ahead

My Review

This is a full moon and just like others intro credits are a little long though which is ok but little boring but least you can have a small bathroom break before movie starts.

I do like movies with video games type movies when I see arcade was on where I go to watch free movies figure I would check it ok this one is about a reality virtual game taking over teenagers mind sounds can of creepy but I see movies like this before this one when you lose the game takes you so where do they go first half doesn’t tell you much but does have a nice build up on when her friends Disappear then things started picking up because 2 teens must find a to beat this evil and maybe save there friends as well it is a game that will be not easy to beat.

This one sort of reminds me of Tron movie series games look same almost in fact Disney sue them because they thought this movie was copying there tron too me not Really but it came as about close as you get though so they were lucky full moon was to get this movie out .

The video game Graphics of this movie look good for the final battle between her and arcade but for some reason after that had one of most chessy ending I ever see shame though that can of ruin it in my view the acting was little chessy some but was nice to see Peter billingsley again he was ok but didn’t do much seem like battle was between Megan Ward character and arcade she was pretty good in this one too me I think this was a Low budget movie because of that movie I will say I did like this some but not a whole lot will say it is not worst I see from start to end if it had more money could of been a great one but if you do like arcades and video games type movies I think you will like this little chessy movie and also to close this review it felt like more of here in future movie then 1993 movie oh will say ending could of lead to another movie but never happen nice touch at ending even if it was chessy.

I give Aracde (1993) a rating out of 10/10 a 6/10 for good. 

Dream a little Dream (1989) Movie Review

 A Review of Dream a little Dream (1989)

Starring........ Corey Feldman, Jason Roberts, Corey Haim

Director........ Marco Rocco

Synopsis

An accident puts the consciousness of elderly Dream researcher into the body of bratty teenager. The problem? The kid prefers dreamworld limbo to real life.

Warning Spoilers ahead

My Review 

This is a movie I have not see for a long time so figure I watch it again when this came out remember see it on tv on previews and viewer choice PPV but did not get to see it for a whole because I thought it look silly at first because I did not know much about Corey Feldman and Cory Haim yet unit I see the lost boys when I figure I give this one a chance so this first time I am watching this since I see back in 1991 or 1992 so let see what I think about it in 2021.

Well have to say this is not a bad one but story or plot is a little strange with teens running into each other a whole dream researcher was doing Meditation I think some how accident sent the teen to Dream state and old guy switch with teenage he try’s to get him to go back but Bobby has no plans to return keeping the old man trap inside of Bobby then whole movie goes he will return if Coleman can correct his screwed existence while helping him get Lainie .

Have to say this a good movie even plot little silly it is not bad music is good with songs like Young at heart by Frank Sinatra’s and also both versions of Dream a little Dream which is a cool song also acting is very good you got Corey Feldman and Corey Haim and also Meredith Salenger as well she was very pretty as well also this movie was good on romantic stuff and comedy as well in this dream sequences was very good and interesting the ending look like it was going to be bad but things change fast so was this a dream the whole time or maybe Coleman did what he needed and everything work out anyway a not bad ending can of odd but good did like how we got Coleman and Bobby dance at credits great way to end this movie if your a fan of both coreys and have not see this one you should because it is a great movie.

Bye the way sweet dreams everybody 😀

I give Dream a little Dream (1989) a rating out of 10/10 a 6/10 for good

 A Review of Swamp thing (1982)

Starring......... Louis Jourdan, Adrienne Barbara and Ray Wise

Director........ Wes Craven

Synopsis

After a violent Incident with special chemical, a research scientist is turned into a swamp plant monster.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

I think this is the very swamp thing Movie and what cool is Wes Craven direct it so was it good it was pretty good storytelling on how the swamp thing monster was born and created it was bad guys who killed him and turn him into this thing so now he out for Revenge against them and try to protect the woman he worked with at start of movie as well one thing for sure good thing swamp thing did look pretty good for makeup and scary some as well so who was main guy arcane or Dr. Arcane who was Into Dr. Alec formula I guess so he test it for himself or something not sure but boy did we find out at the end he pretty much test that on himself and well what he turn into was ugly and scary some as well whole the ending wasn’t too big but it was not bad fight between two monsters ugly monster was little weak though but after that it did not have a bad ending though.

Now do have to say some scenes was good and some little bit lag but bad guy transforms into that thing was can of scary but end results was little better though of the movie and as for acting it was both bad and good first half was good last half went down a lot but I did enjoying Dick Durock as swamp thing he was very good at playing swamp thing in this one.

So from start to end it was not bad Movie better then return of swamp thing some it was I would say I would watch this one down the line again check it out if you want too you may like it or not do note it is a little bit chessy but most of 80’s movies that for sure.

I give Swamp thing (1982) a rating out of 10/10 a 7/10 for good.

Trancers 6 (2002) Movie Review

 A Review of Trancers 6

Starring....... Zette Sullivan, Jennifer Capo and Robert Donavan

Director........ Jay Woelfel

Synopsis

Trancer Hunter Jack Deth travels though time and awakens in the body of his daughter. And now he must save himself( her body) and the world from a new Deadly breed of Trancers.

Warning Spoilers ahead

My Review

Well well this one takes a odd twist Jack is send back in time once again but this time lands in his daughter body because she in trouble and up to Jack to save her and world as well I thought this can of sound good and little weird as well I am used to see movies like this though so nothing new this is still Jack fighting Trancers but as his daughter so does the movie go well without Tim being in it?

Well have to say yes and no for yes female version of Jack Deth is ok but do miss Tim a lot in this one but do give Zette Sullivan she was badass some I will say not as great Tim was in series though but do give her credit though in this after this I read she only was in a few movies and that was it well maybe she thought acting was not for her.

As for ending to series it was ok could of lead to more but think 6 movies was enough not a bad ending at all to series but will say the twist on who her mom was good as well I did not mind Zette Sullivan she was good when she said welcome to your Future ah she sound like a lot like Jack that was my favorite part when she said that proves she was good in this one.

As for rest of series it was very good because I enjoyed see Tim thomerson kick ass from 1-5 he was awesome as for 6 one it was ok so in closing to trancers movie series of reviews if you have not see this and are a fan of Tim thomerson do so because you may like bye the way this was full moon movies as well.

I give trancers 6 a rating out of 10/10 a 6/10 for good.

 A review of 24 min Trancers 1.5: City of lost Angels

Starring...... Helen Hunt, Tim Thomerson and Alyson Croft

Director..... Charles Band

Synopsis

Time- Travelling cop Jack Deth learns that a powerful assassin has escaped from her maximum security cell to track him down and kill him.

Warning spoilers ahead

My Review

This is a 24 min bonus footage is interesting with a powerful assassin escaped from her jail just to go after Jack himself in past or future so now his friend Mcnutty heads back to past and he again lands in a 13 year girl body to worry Jack it was can of funny see Mcnutty in 13 year girl body the actress acting him very well too whole this is not what Jack needs as he having his problems with girlfriend so pretty much first he has to figure out how to beat this crazy lady after him pretty much they had a good fight nothing too big bad you only had 24 mins to flim so was not Expecting a huge fight it was ok fight this was a nice little Bonus leading up to trancers 2 which came out in 1991 so what did I think of ending not bad not a big ended but happy ending for now did enjoy this short film I think this took place right after first movie too if I am right.

As for acting was good to see cast come back from first movie for this short 24 min film great to see Tim and Helen back again not too bad acting so would I watch this flim again maybe but not like all the time again it is a nice little movie for fans would of been cool if the main villain of this was for 2nd movie but oh well she was little tough but again not too tough for Jack Deth that for sure.

I give trancers 1.5 City of angels (1988) a rating out of 10/10 a 7/10 for great.
