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 🙂

Lord Of The Flies, Eye Opening, Thought Provoking, Stays With You Long After The Credits Roll

Posted on by jadedsteelereviews

One of my top ten favourite books ever has to be Lord Of The Flies, the reason being is I love a good book that makes you think long after you’ve read the final chapter Lord Of The Flies does exactly that, for those who are unfamiliar with this story then never fear I will tell you.

The book follows the story of a group of boys who crash land after a plane crash on a deserted tropical paradise, the boys then come up with the plan whoever holds a conch shell gets to talk, you can see where this is going can’t you, anyway it doesn’t all go to plan and the boys split up in to two different camps, one camp wants to try and get off the island while the others want to hunt and kill, the theme is simple… no matter how old you are we will all at some point go back to the cavemen days, even children.

Now there are two adaptions one in the sixties and the other in the early nineties, the sixties adaption is true too the book whereas the nineties adaption strays from the source material with minor detail, instead of World War Two evacuees they are military school boys, the sixties is by far the most superior to the book, but don’t get me wrong the nineties version is good while it may have its flaws it’s still pretty enjoyable even if it does stray off from the source material it is adapted from. The reason why I’m reviewing this particular movie is because Hollywood is making an all female version of the film.

Yes…. yes you heard me Hollywood are making an all female version of the film, just like they did with Ghostbusters, which to be fair I enjoyed, but this however I’m having a little bit of a hard time progressing this, I mean it’s a good idea but is it really necessary, I mean don’t take this the wrong way and I mean absolutely no offence by this but why does Hollywood need to remake everything all female…. I don’t mean to offend anyone but that’s my opinion you can hate me in the comments but please keep it clean (I am still a person) now that’s been said what do you think about this, especially book lovers like myself, let me know, but until next time guys catch ya later 🙂

YES YES YES YES PLEASE LET THIS BE TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! I am so hyped right now it’s just come out this week and IT director Andy Muschietti is in the run in for a Pet Semetary remake…… yes you heard me correctly one of my favourite Stephen King novels could be remade.

Can you tell I am excited like honestly Pet Semetary is probably one of my favourite King novels and to hear that the director of IT may be directing it, after waiting for the sequel to be green lit which in all fairness is going to be considering that IT is still smashing box office records, Muschietti has said that he would love to direct it because he feels the the original wasn’t true to the source material.

In all fairness I loved the original, it was creepy and all round terrifying, but to see a modern adaptation happen one could only dream, this is one of the movies I really wanted to be remade, that and Misery and a Cujo remake but hey let’s not get to excited, as Guillermo Del Toro says he wants to direct, personally I want the IT director as he did IT justice and kept it true to the book, Del Toro on the other hand has made some gems in his day however I myself didn’t like Pacific Rim or Crimson Peak, but loved Pans Labyrinth.

While this may be a rumour I sincerely hope it isn’t as I want this film to be remade for sure, phew!! Okay that’s my excitement vented out, anyway what’s everyone’s favourite Stephen King book for me it has to be Carrie or Needful Things…… hey……. Needful Things……. there’s another King adaption that has to be made damn someone get on to Hollywood now! this is a great idea. Anyway guys until next time catch ya later 🙂
