One wonders how the series made it to a fifth film, but I have to admit I'm very glad it didn't go any further. It's already basically about nothing and the filmmakers are repeating themselves, while Paul Kersey is really just a boring character with nothing to give to the theme. However, the killing is quite well done. Or it’s at least average.

I figured this wasn't going to be a film that would interest me, but it's exactly the kind of enjoyable little film where it's all about the characters and their fates, whether good or bad, and it works very well. Colm Meaney shows us that he is a very capable actor and carries the plot through to the end, even if you wonder if he is actually the main character.

Midnight Offerings doesn't have that much horror in it and is instead a film that tries to use the plot to present a dramatic level that has some horror or at least fantasy elements. Somehow it works, at least enough to keep you from immediately turning the film off. The characters are pretty well handled, and you'll survive with them until the end.

This is basically a mediocre film about a cop being reassigned to a job impersonating a car thief. He infiltrates well, gains a rapport with the main guy, played brilliantly by a young Charlie Sheen, but eventually it's bound to crack at some point. The ending is definitely better than that of The Fast and the Furious, where the starting point is the same.

If Massacre on Aisle 12 was supposed to be a horror comedy, you get the feeling that it's actually pretty bad at the genre. Unfortunately, that's not so far from the truth, because there really are very few good horror comedies. And that's sad. Massacre on Aisle 12 is just an example of how bad things can sometimes be, and that it's really bad.

Jim Jarmusch is a very specific filmmaker and his film may not suit everyone. This film is more conversational, a little philosophical, like all of Jarmusch's other films, but here I felt like there really wasn't much going on. However, the film had some good scenes and, most importantly, enjoyable performances.

I thought it was going to be a complete dud and that I wouldn't enjoy anything about the film, but it turned out to work quite well as a romantic comedy. I'm not saying it's great, but there are some pretty good ideas in here that aren't necessarily funny, but which can be engaging. The development is unfortunately quite predictable, which even the likable characters can't save.

It's weak, and the filmmakers decided to make Paul Kersey basically a classic action hero, a badass who goes around town and kills. He no longer has any of the things that made him interesting in the first two films, he has almost nothing believable in him, and he's no longer simply a man of the people. He's just a badass killer now.

The Monterey Pop Festival in California, which took place June 16-18, 1967, definitely deserved this documentary, which perfectly managed to capture the music and the times. In fact, I probably would have preferred to go to that festival over Woodstock just because of how much quieter it was, but all the big stars were there. The songs are amazing.

It's a bit outdated, because it's actually just repeating the same theme, except that here Paul Kersey goes to jail for a while, but for something he didn't do, which is pretty ironic. Acting-wise, it's dry again, as Charles Bronson himself indicates, and plot-wise it's probably not surprising, it's just bigger, and there are more explosions and shooting.
