Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992)

[Movie 153 / Day 166]


John Carpenter's Memoirs of an Invisible Man is one of those comedies that's enjoyable but not particularly funny. Chevy Chase plays Nick Halloway, a man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Due to a particularly bad hangover, he falls asleep in a building while an experiment goes wrong which renders him invisible. The rest of the film is spent avoiding a corrupt CIA assassin (Sam Neill) and falling in love (with Daryl Hannah).

It's OK. Some of the effects have held up very well however, some of them still look very good indeed; far better than I thought they'd be.

My rating: 5.8 / 10
IMDB rating: 5.7 / 10
Running time: 99 mins

Zoom (2006)

[Movie 25 / Day 12]


This is a bad film - but at least the plot makes sense, which is more than I can say for some other movies (like The Avengers - how did that get a higher score on IMDB than this!? That's madness).

I can't be bothered describing it, other than to say - Chevy Chase was either in top notch makeup or DAMN, he's looking old.

My rating: 3.6 / 10
IMDB rating: 3.3 / 10
