Don't be so hard on it!.......2005-03-31

Ok, the style of the first two films in the trilogy was really cool. Very dark and moody. The style of this one doesn't remain consistent with the frist 2, but it's just as good I think. There are alot of close ups, it's hard to describe. Don't compare this to big budget films. All horror fans will be pleased to see that Lance Henriksen who happens to be a B-Movie actor now, makes an appearence as a sort of bad guy? I guess. I think that watching some of the special features will help you to respect a movie better, and I'm not sure if there's a commentary or anything, but I've talked to the director alot over e-mail and he's a really nice guy. He has written the stories for the Splinter Cell games and is currently writing the movie, so if you don't like him for this, than like him for that.

Not Bad At All.......2005-01-08

Despite all the bad reviews of this movie I have read, I actually found it to be a pretty good film. I mean, in some parts it may have been slightly lethargic, but over all, I found it to be a good film. The actors all did a very good job--they all have a lot of talent. I actually bought the film before I had even seen it, because my favourite actress played Carmen. I had heard bad reviews of the film, but I have never been one to rely on other people's judgement of films, because I usually enjoy films that get bad reviews. I guess you just have to be the right kind of person, because a great deal of the film does revolve around Marvin looking through his camera and taking pictures. If you haven't seen it, you should probably not buy it until you have, because like I said, you may have to be the type of person who enjoys most films as a whole. I guess it takes a real appreciation of the art.

One of the worst horror films I have ever seen!!!.......2005-01-02

Speechlessly disappointed!!! Why made a film so messy like this!!!

Do what I tell you.......2004-11-10

Remember when you found that porno mag in the abandoned shack out in the woods behind yer house, remember that dirty feeling and how you scrubbed yer hands for hours. That's kinda how I felt when I saw the first Mimic in the theater. It was so bad it was criminal. Poor Roc and Mighty Aphrodite, how would you like to come off of a career making Woody Allen film and be known for Mimic.
That aside, Mimic 2 was one of those TBS flicks that you pass by on a sickly sunday morning nursing a headache and a gin. You are not sure if you are going to be sick and if you are then you have better things to watch out for then this blasted flickering on the TV.
Mimic Sentinels is as close to a real movie as I never thought you could get with 8 ft. cockroaches. Now don't get me wrong, there is no hybrid romantic comedic interlude with the line, "Now that bugs me" though there shoulda been. It's a straight forward, well shot, and paced little homage to two of our favorite things, Hitchcock and B-creature flicks. The actors were great, the characters were off the wall and inventive that gave the movie a strange feeling of completeness, you could have shot the movie without "The Garbageman" but then...what would be the point. I think this movie will be greatly appreciated by two types of people. Those that thought the first MIMICS were trash, and those that don't know there were a first two. I fer one just have to feign ignorance.
If you are in the mood, for a decent, (weak word), good (sounds better) direct to video release this is it. Shotguns, blood and enough content to keep yer significant other amused and maybe he/she won't think yer so dumb. Like the time you took him/her to see Demolition Man in the theatre....How did it last so long?
Buy it.

Demise of the Series: No Scare, No Logics, and Fewer Bugs.......2004-10-20

'Mimic Sentimel' is the result of mixing two kind of films -- look how Marvin, a patient confined in a room, watching through a camera the people living in the opposite apartment, AND how he gets invloved with a series of death by the killing human-bugs.

While spending time taking photos of the outside, Marvin and his sister Rosie come to think they have witnessed a murder, and call the police. The standard plot device means that the cop would not believe in the story, or at least remain sceptical, and the thrill continues. In this movie, inspted of that, the cop starts to have a date with Marvin's mom (Amanda Plummer). Do you think we need this kind of plot development?

Anyway, after while the story strays into the alley, another girl comes into the room, named Carmen, and the two become Nancy Drew-like amateur detectives, and there is a strange man nicknamed 'The Garbageman' (Lance Henriksen, 'AVP' and many others).

But you don't see Grace Kelly here, nor Hitchcock's assured hand as director. The film suffers from a very disjointed script, which doesn't know how to scare, or even amuse us. The bad construction of the filmed shots only lead to the confused impression on our side -- actually, we don't know exactly whether some of the characters are killed or not, or how got killed. The bad acting from the leads only lessen the scare, and first of all, you don't see the lethal bug itself very much.

The only good thing is the photography that captured the creepy mood of the backyard of a decayed apartment. But the film is another disappointment from Dimention Films that once gave us 'Scream.' And someone please send e-mail address of Tarantino to Amanda Plummer, who was in the epoch-making 'Pulp Fiction.' (You remember that terrific diner scene, don't you?)
