A simple town. A yearly tradition. A villain in search of vengeance.
While showing promise, Speed 3 never lives up to its tagline. Any time you bring back the original cast 15 years later for the 3rd installment of a cheap disaster movie, its a recipe for success, but unfortunately this one falls short. Dennis Hopper is just not that convincing as the man who comes back to the site, 45 years later, of his greatest embarrassment. Keanu Reeves is just not that convincing in anything he's ever done. Quite a disappointment, considering Keanu had to spend six months getting his calves in shape in order to hop in a sack over 5MPH for 84 minutes. Even the ending is incredibly predictable. There's only one way a sack race of this magnitude could conclude. Spoiler Alert: Everyone dies.
7. Sister Act 3: Habitual Nightmares
It's like the zombie apocolypse musical. With nuns (naturally).
Departing from the theme of the first two, this installment is being billed as a "sister slasher". Whoopi comes back to San Francisco to the site of the convent that first took her in, only to find that the whole town has turned into zombies. She must fight her way across town to find the only phone in town, a direct line to the pope. All the while her efforts are slowed as both she and the zombie residents break out in spontaneous song.
While the intentions were good, the execution is sub-par (most of the zombies can only moan and wail), and most of the dance numbers seem put on (especially the line dance for "My Guy...Will Rip Your Throat Out"). My suggestion: wait for the rental. One star.
