‘PENELOPE’ (2006) and Self-Acceptance | Review & Discussion

Hello, everyone! In my new review, I’m going to be discussing the film romance-fantasy film, ‘Penelope’ (2006)! It centres around a young noble woman born with the face of a pig due to a family curse, which can only be broken once she has been accepted by one of her own kind. After years of failed matchmaking attempts while being hidden away by her parents, Penelope escapes in disguise, where she discovers acceptance and friendship and realises that she must love herself before anyone else can.

I watched this film many times as a child, and while I remembered specific scenes well, I wanted to find out whether it had held up. Is this film truly under-rated?

‘SHARKNADO 2: THE SECOND ONE’ (2014) – The Sequel We Didn’t Ask For/Need | Shocking Shark Films

Hello, everyone! In today’s video, I’m going to be discussing the infamous ‘Sharknado 2: The Second One’ (2014)! The film centres around the return of Fin Shepard and his partner April, who journey to New York City for a book signing – just in time for another sharknado! This storm is much more aggressive – can our heroes save the day again?

This film has a much bigger scope, a much bigger setting and loads of celebrity cameos - but is it any better than the first?

I REVIEW 'THE POST-MODERN PROMETHEUS' (THE X FILES)!

Remember when Frankenstein’s Monster met Cher inside a comic book? | The X Files (S5E5) | Review

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my channel! In today’s video, I’m discussing the 5th episode of Season 5 of ‘The X Files’, ‘The Post-Modern Prometheus’. It has Special Agents Mulder and Scully visit a town rumoured to be inhabited by a two-faced 'monster' who is subject to break-ins with Cher singing a backing track. What's the purpose of these break-ins? Is the monster even real, and what does the mysterious Dr Pollidori even know about this case? The episode is one of the most highly rated within the original series, and parodies Mary Shelley’s ‘Frankenstein’ in its own ‘X Files’ way. But is it worth the hype?

‘VAMPIRES SUCK’ (2010) – WORST Vampire Parody Film? | Reaction/Review

Hello, everyone! In this video, I’m going to be discussing the infamous ‘Vampires Suck’ (2010)! The film is an incredibly low-rated ‘Scary Movie’ esque parody of the first ‘Twilight’ movie (which may have something to do with the fact that it was written, directed and produced by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer), and centres around “Edward Sullen” and “Bella Crane”. Bad acting and low brow humour ensues.

Unlike my other reivews, this video features a reaction segment as opposed to a play-by-play commentary segment. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer's parody movies are considered some of the worst movies of all time, but does 'Vampires Suck' deserve to have such a low rating?

‘DEAD GORGEOUS’ & ‘PARADISE CAFE’ – What’s Up With These Spooky 2010s Kids’ Shows? | Discussion

Hello, everyone! In my new video, I am going to be discussing two ghostly children’s television programmes from the early 2010s – ‘Dead Gorgeous’ and ‘Paradise Cafe’! Both shows centre around ghosts scurrying around among the living under different circumstances, but do either of these shows hold up, and what is up with their macabre themes?

I decided to make this video because I haven't seen too many people discuss these shows over the years, and so I wanted to make video on them! Hopefully you like the video, and hopefully I can find SOMEONE who has heard of these shows!

‘ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH’ (2012) – Another Deservedly Forgotten Kids’ Film? | Review

Hello, everyone! In this video, I’m discussing the poorly reviewed ‘Escape From Planet Earth’ (2012)! Baabian brothers Scorch and Gary attempt to perform a rescue mission on Earth after receiving an SOS message, but end up captured by the evil General Shanker. They meet several other aliens there, and try to hatch a plan, but are met with doubts about their suspicions surrounding their captors.

Can the brothers escape; does this film deserve such poor reviews; and why is this so reminiscent of ‘Planet 51’?

‘ONCE BITTEN’ (1985) – The DODGIEST 80s Vampire Comedy Film Ever?! | Review

Hello, everyone! In today’s video, I discuss an eccentric vampire comedy film – ‘Once Bitten’ (1985)! In the film, a student named Mark Kennedy (Jim Carrey, in his first lead role!) is targeted by the Countess (Lauren Hutton), a vampire who must drink the blood of a virgin three times before Hallowe’en to maintain her youthful appearance. Will Mark and his friends manage to escape being turned into the undead?

This film has been rated pretty poorly online, and I wanted to find out why this could possibly be through this review. 'Once Bitten' has reached cult film status - but has it aged poorly?

‘SHARKNADO’ (2013) – THE Shark Movie to End ALL Shark Movies… | Shocking Shark Films

Hello, everyone! My latest review centres around the ultimate sharksploitation film, ‘Sharknado’ (2013)! As the title would suggest, it centres around a hurricane that carries numerous man-eating sharks into Los Angeles! This leaves our protagonist, Fin (Ian Ziering), a bar owner and ex-surfer, to rescue his estranged wife (Tara Reid) and daughter with the help of his friends. 🦈

I remember this film got a lot of hype around it when it was released, but was all that hype unwarranted? I hadn't seen it in many years before making this video, so hopefully I can convey my thoughts around this well!

‘TITANIC II’ (2010) – *DODGIEST* “Sequel” of All Time?! | Review

Hello, everyone! In this video, I discuss the extremely dodgy mockbuster film, ‘Titanic II’ (2010)! The film is exactly what it sounds like: a millionaire (Shane Van Dyke) attempts to recreate the Titanic, and low and behold, everything goes wrong on its maiden voyage! He and his ex-girlfriend (Marie Westbrook) scramble to save as many people as possible, but can our heroes get to safety in time?

I REVIEW 'STARMAN' (1984)!

‘STARMAN’ (1984) – John Carpenter’s Comforting Sci-Fi Romance Classic | Review

Hey, all! For this upcoming Valentine's Day, I've decided to review one of my favourite comfort films - John Carpenter's 'Starman'! It stars Karen Allen as Jenny Hayden, a recent widow who is visited by an alien who takes the form of her late husband (Jeff Bridges). She must take him to a crater to meet his people and get back home before he is captured and vivisected by the government!

I am judging the film fairly, or am I just viewing it through rose-tinted glasses? I hope I can explain why I love this film so much through my review!
