Apt Pupil…. So Uncomfortable I Had To Switch It Off

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

This is the first film I have ever walked away from, no scrap that the second film I’ve walked away from (the first was Seabiscuit) however Seabiscuit was boring and as a seven year old you wanna see some action and not just a bunch of horses racing. But I digress I walked away from Apt Pupil not because it was boring, but because it was so very very uncomfortable to sit through, I got around to about half an hour and then I though no, I came over all sick And and started shaking, no other film has done that me ever.

Now your probably wondering why on earth did it make you feel like that I’ve seen it and I liked the film, let me tell you a story, when I was about fourteen/fifteen we had a WW2 themed day, we had food from the forties music and all, but I had possibly the most depressing time that day, mainly because I was dumped by a girl whom of which I loved but hey ho shit happens, on top of that we had a Holocaust survivor come in and tell us about his time in the concentration camps. This guy had been to everyone of them including Auschwitz, we’ve all learnt about the holocaust from the survivors, we’ve seen the documentaries on the television, Apt Pupil is a whole new kettle of fish as we hear stories from the other side i.e the Nazis side.

Brad Renfro plays a teen who meets Thomas Dencker played by Ian Mckellen, he plays a Nazi war criminal who done horrific things back in WW2 and believe me we hear everything, or from what I heard up until I turned it off, Dencker goes off on how he gassed the Jewish how he tortured them, and believe me when I say he goes into great detail about this. Renfro then decides to go out and buy a Nazi uniform which might I add why the hell a costume shop even has one for sale, he buys and forces Dencker to wear it making him march on the spot. This is where I turned it off, seeing someone fascinated by this guy and his stories, even going as far as blackmailing him to get these stories is not what I want to be watching, you don’t even know who your rooting for in this movie.

This is by far the most uncomfortable movie I have ever had the displeasure of actually watching, plus I went in totally blind as I didn’t have a clue what the film was about, final rating 0/10 it’s uncomfortable to watch, and really really depressing in some cases anyway guys until next time catch ya later oh by the way little known fact it’s actually a Stephen King adaption, which I had no clue about

Flatliners…. Just Why

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

There are some remakes that are destined to be remade, and then there are some that bestow that old age saying and I quote “don’t fix what isn’t broken” Flatliners falls in to is category, sure the original which was released way back in the early 90s was okay at best but this is still one film that should never ever be remade like ever.

Flatliners follows the story of college grad students who undertake an experiment, which is basically to die experience the afterlife and then be bought back to life only for them to start hallucinating and seeing things. Now sounds interesting, the nineties version is fantastic regarding the story, pacing and visuals, this 2017 remake looks cheesy, tacky and just really really bad visually, trust me read my Dark Tower review and you will see that I hated that movie, this movie, oh boy hate isn’t even the word to describe this movie, it was garbage absolute garbage, the pacing seemed fast and the visuals were god awfully terrible the acting was…. pardon my potty mouth but SHIT!!!!!

This is only a short review because there is nothing else to say about this movie don’t waste your money and go see Blade Runner (which far superior than this pile of horseshit) Final rating 0/10 it’s awful anyway guys I’ll catch ya later 🙂

About Me And Why I Started Blogging

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

Okay…. I had a page on this but I decided to get rid of it and decided to write a full post about me and who I am pretty much, as cheesy as it sounds it’s something that I want to do so here goes.

I started this blog in January 2015 after a few friends said I should do it, I thought what in gods name do I blog about I don’t know anything, I have a passion for movies as much as the next person has, my dream job as a child was to become a film director, however due to unforeseen circumstances I had to give up that dream, after my first cinema experience I had when I was just 4 I went to see Toy Story 2 with my mum, best time ever I thought and ever since then I have been a lover of movies old and new.

So I started this blog thinking good god what am I doing, and let me tell you it’s the best thing I have ever done, because I am able to do what I love which is to go to the cinema and watch the latest flick with friends and family, and then run home and get a post up, however it didn’t quite go like that, I was making one post every two weeks, everyone said that’s not consistent, but hey college and coursework and deadlines were getting in the way of things so I stopped, and didn’t make a post until 2016 to be specific it was November of last year, now I thought damn! I was a bad blogger back then, I’ve now made a promise to myself which is that I will try and blog every single day if I can.

So welcome to my blog make a cuppa tea grab a chair and read some of my reviews if you like any or have any requests please do not hesitate to ask I mean I don’t bite come on people, but seriously if there is a movie you haven’t seen and want me to watch it and review for ya then I will, or if you have seen a movie and want someone else’s take on it then do not hesitate to ask I mean we are all friends here 🙂 so until next time guys catch ya later.
