Not Bad, but not good.

let me begin by saying that some of the cards in this "deck" were not what was shown in the picture, however, this proved to be a good thing as the cards which replaced the promised ones were actually far superior for this deck. I'll cut it short instead of making a long review, my recommendation: instead of purchasing this product, save up about $25 and do some research on competitive morphtronic decks. I found myself somewhat ripped off, as I only ended up keeping a couple of cards from this deck in my finished version. (the other cards I purchased cost $17) ultimately, it's not terrible, (and note, this deck is morphtronic burn like, you want to stall out your opponent and slowly kill them with direct effect damage) but a much better deck can be made for about the same price. just do your research, and hit up a local shop. honestly, I wish i did.

BloodRayne (3 stars out of 5):
It has a good cast and some good production design, but it is very shallow, poorly directed, and kind of awkward.  There are a few good moments, but the only real good thing is that it has lots of blood and sex, and would be good to pop in if I feel a sudden impulse to see so much senseless violence.

BloodRayne 2 (1 star out of 5):
Downright boring! There is hardly any violence or sex in it.  The new cast is terrible (except for the bad guy, played by Zach Ward), and the movie suffers even worse from having terrible cameramanship.  The only redeemable quality in this one are a few memorable lines (which I can't even remember) and a few nifty gunfights.  Still, wouldn't reccomend this one much to anybody.

Computer Games (5 stars out of 5):
Downright awesome! They have engaging stories, pretty good characters, and very interactive gameplay.  The graphics are smashing.  Not to mention, enough bucketloads of blood and loads of partial-nudity to make the experience very wicked.

Overall, the movies are bad, but the first one is good if you're looking for low-quality blood-and-guts action (kind of like a Stewart Gordon movie).  But you'd probably want to get this set for the games instead (the movies aren't even faithful adaptations of the games; what a waste of potential!).

The game is not bad, but far from as good as the predecessor.  After all of the build up it was a disappointing follow up.  The game play was decent but the story line was pretty lame disappointment.

It wasn't horrible, I guess, but it wasn't good, either.  I actually didn't finish it, though.  I didn't like the characters, the plot dragged and when it became a "chore" to plod through it, I just returned it.  There are too many good books out there to waste time on the bad ones.

At least I read it through Kindle Unlimited, so it didn't cost me anything other than time.

Not a terrible book, but not a good book, either. First, it's not credible the amount of work the police would outsource to a private company. Second, the technique of not naming anybody's wives to preserve the identity of the vigilante got old after a while. Third, the too-perfect portrayals of Chris and whatshisname the police detective also made them less interesting as characters. And what was with Chris always winking at people, even men? Finally, I, too, knew the identity of the vigilante long before the ending. All in all, it wasn't too bad, but it felt amateurish.

I felt compelled to write this when I saw all the 5-star reviews. I don't like writing bad reviews but I think it's fair to say that this movie is not great and it's not a 5-star movie. (For comparison, not even How to Kill a Mockingbird gets 5 full stars!)

The premise is good, and it's a version of the familiar Prince-and-the-Pauper trope. Sure, there are plot holes, and plenty of things are never explained, but those things can be forgiven if there are lots of laughs. Unfortunately, that is not the case here. There are some, but they're few and far between. And, at 1:45, it's about 20 minutes too long.

The bottom line is that there's a reason this movie was straight-to-video. It's perfectly pleasant, and if you're a big Chris Kattan fan (as many of these other reviewers seem to be), then that's probably reason enough to see it. Otherwise, give it a miss.

I'm sure all the folks involved in making this movie are good people. The DVD contains an interview with the cast and the writer/director, and they all seem pretty likeable... But the movie just wasn't very good.
First, the good points. The story was ultimately sweet -- it had heart. I found myself liking Jared and Robert and I rooted for them to get together. (Corey Spears is so darn cute that I was often distracted from his mostly not-so-great acting; Josh Jacobson was better.)
The film quality: I could forgive the fact that it was filmed on digital video.
And now the bad points.
The characters: they're mainly unoriginal archetypes straight out of 60 years of gay pulp fiction. The cute, innocent small-town boy in the big city; the rich, 30something guy who turns out to be a lecher; the elderly woman who dispenses wisdom and turns out to be liberal...
The plot: It's all black and white and obvious. Men with money won't bring you happiness; follow your heart instead! Okay -- there are definitely lots of people out there who still don't know that, so maybe they'd benefit from watching this. But you can advocate a point of view while still writing an entertaining movie with three-dimensional characters.
The plot has little narrative flow. Things are left unestablished. For instance, what does Jared see in Robert in the first place? And there's little dramatic buildup and payoff. Things happen abruptly. There's a scene where Robert calls Jared but Matthew doesn't give him the message, and then it's dropped. In a better movie, this scene would lead to misunderstandings and a little bit of tension. But nothing happens here.
The movie's dialogue is pretty bad. It consists mostly of cliches, as well as things like "cool" and "oh, okay" and "my bad." Sure, those expressions are true to life. And many of the scenes between Jared and Robert seemed very real, as if I were watching them on a surveillance camera. But there's "interesting" real and there's "boring" real. Watching paint dry is also real, but it's not entertaining.
Although much of the acting is decent, two of the actors were pretty mediocre.

Oh, Mr. Kilmer, what's with all these mediocre movies? You used to be in the really good stuff.

This movie isn't terrible. It had real potential; the problem is "wronged man returns from the grave for vengence" has been done before, and this movie didn't really feel like it brought anything new to the table.
There were no real surprises, except the end, and that was more of a train-going-off-the-rails than a surprise-twist. I think this movie's big problem is that it revealed the crime of the 6 cops too soon, and then kept rehashing it over and over. Maybe if they'd left the why of it all until the very last minute, dropping hints now and then, but never revealing it until the final showdown, it would have been a more compelling film.

I love horror movies, and generally I can find the good in almost all the ones I have watched. While this movie isn't bad per say, it really doesn't have much of anything going for it outside of the gore factor. In a word, I found it boring. It borrows heavily from many other movies, movies that are better and did it better. Disappointing to say the least, I expected this movie to live up to the hype. It did not. 2 and a half stars.

Not bad, but not good either. There are a LOT of plot holes. And by a lot, I mean more plot holes than not. Still, if you can ignore all the glaring mistakes and holes, it's kind of entertaining to watch.

It's not bad, but it's not good; just okay.  The premise for the plot allowed for so many possibilities, but generated very little intrigue or interest in the characters.  About 1/4  of the way into the book, I wondered where the book was headed.  By the end, I wondered why it went where it did.

Not bad and not great. A Russian hitman saves a club owner from his compatriates. He's already had sex with her. Not much of a deal. The sex is also repetitive and overdone.

okay, about what I expected, but not as good as I hoped.

I can't really complain considering the price, but having seen and heard them, I would not buy again. I won't go into specifics, but both the build quality and the sound are pretty bad. Definitely worth spending a few extra bucks to get something decent.

While not among the worst horror movies I've seen this one has few redeeming qualities.  Take 3 parts Blair Witch, 1 part Exorcist, and a splash of Rosemary's baby and you end up with The Last Exorcism.  A bitter concoction not as good as its parts.  There wasn't anything remotely scary in either the cheap thrills sense or the make you check the closet before bed psychological sense.  Except for the charlatan preacher, who I actually found myself liking from the start, there wasn't any character I liked or rooted for.  Special effects were very light and the cliche actual exorcist talks to demon scene was underwhelming.  Really I almost turned it off mid way through, and would have if not for the preacher's character.  The real disappointment, and spoiler alert, was that in the final seconds just when things were getting good and exciting the cameraman runs away before his demise.  So we were robbed of even that little bit of thrill.

Not bad, but not good either. Didn't hold my attention at all like most other books I've read so far, and this is coming from a very avid reader as well.

Considering there are so few gothic westerns out there, and considering how strong the first issue was, I really really wanted this to be good.

It's not. If you've read the first issue, you pretty much know what is going to happen through the rest. There are no major surprises or developments. A good-guy sidekick is introduced just to be killed off; a bad guy is introduced to make threats and little else.

There are major gaps in logic, threads left hanging, long passages of doldrum action (which mostly feature our hero riding hard across the plains, with no dialogue of any kind). A few sinister birds and ghostly Indians, neither of which are as relevant as the writers think they are. The writer's afterward just confirms he didn't know what he was doing.

I got the compilation for a buck and a half. Not sure it was worth it. Strictly amateur hour, here. Sigh.
