The WolfMan
I'd have to say it was a very good movie I did enjoy it
I vaguely remember seeing the original when I was little
as for this new one I found it was a bit loose on the story
kind of but then again you are not going to watching it
for its complex plot you want to see the Wolfman!
and speaking of which he was very classic in this design
you can tell they didn't want to update him and have him look
like "Modern Werewolves" similar to those seen in stuff like
Underworld. The visual/Make-up effects were impressive
and really sold the film as did the production design this
seems like it can fit right in with recent films The Mummy
and Van Helsing it has the feel to it. The guy playing the
Wolfman Benicio Del Toro did a very good job as did
Anthony Hopkins and Hugo Weaving but that is to be expected
the only problem is every time I see Hugo Weaving I think
of Agent Smith *lol* anyway this was very good its not an
action movie although there is a lot of fast paced exciting
action but it lays heavy on the horror end it is very dark and
will probably give you a jump or 2 but it is a fun movie
to watch
Surrogates
I wanted to see this for a while it seemed kinda of interesting
it reminded me in a way of the Matrix and/or Avatar. I personally
think technology is moving in this direction the ideas put forth in the film
made me thinking of this as the next step in the evolution of the internet
and this could be what it evolves into it is pretty much like a massive
MMO much like the Sims or even "Second Life". If the technology
existed to do this today I would myself do it I think it would be cool
also Bruce Willis is always fun to watch I would have to say he
always plays a good cop type character and the character of
Older Canter (James Cromwell) who is he to say how people live
or want to live I can some what understand his reasons for doing
what he was doing but at the same time he doesn't really have the right
to impose what he believes on to other people. Also I didn't really
favor the ending all that much I did find it a bit selfish on the part
of Willis' character I mean you should let people do as they please
no one was hurting anyone else and by clicking the "No" you are taking
the peoples choice away people are just going to want another one
or have theirs fixed. but anyway it was a very good movie nice action
interesting story and some cool effects.
Perfect Creature
This was pretty good, it is an interesting twist on the Vampire story.
where they live in peacefully co-exist with humans and are pretty much protectors of mankind
in a way and known as "Brothers" through they are the ruling body of the church but all hell
breaks loose when one is born that does not want to serve and protect but rather kill and
become the typical blood sucking monster and its a race against time for a police woman and a
Vampire Brother to stop the monster before he spreads the infection. Like I said this was
pretty good it was slick and stylized and reminiscent of the recent Sherlock Holmes film it
had that similar look and feel. This moved quite fast and you wish you could learn more
about this world which is a shame being it seems so very interesting you want to know more.
all in all I thought it was quite good nicely shot and even had some very good visual effect
in it also its not the best movie but it is a good one.
The Children
Now this is a British movie and I know that they are a bit different from the ones that are
made state side being I have see a few from over there some have been good and others not
sometimes you don't know what is going on and that is the case with this one. I had no clue
what was going on its starts off with a family get together on Christmas which I understand
then one of the kids gets sick and then another and before you know it they have all gone
crazy and are systematically picking off the adults one by one also they seem to at times
posses some type of super speed and maybe even enhanced strength but can't be sure at that
and how did they get like this I'm not quite sure maybe some form of biological toxin spread
through the air? its not quite explained. you just seem to jump form point A to B to C oh
well it was an alright watch but not very clear on story.
Little children
This was pretty good it was well written, filmed and acted at least I thought so there were a
few familiar faces in this. I know it was a drama but I at times wondered if this was suppose
to be a comedy some of its was hilarious it was probably not meant to be but it was
especially the narration. even though there was some unintentional humor some of it was kind
of sad a a bit depressing. I found it was a story about 4 lives that intersect at important
moments through out the characters singular life that changes them makes them grow as a
person and shows them what is truly important. any way I thought it was quite a good film all
around.
Dante's Inferno Animated
wow that was very impressive it is quite the Animated Epic.
but keep in mind it is not for the faint of heart or for younger kids being it is quite
violent with alot of blood and guts spilling out all over the place this is truly for the 16
and up crowd. It did remind me of God of War in a way and the game it is biased on is
probably similar to that one. The animation itself is impressive although at I'd say 4
different points through the movie the character designs and animation style change so this
must have been a collaboration similar to how "Batman: Gotham Knight" was done a couple of
the styles looked similar to how "Lady Death" was done as well as the Hellboy animated
features. all in all it was pretty good nice fast paced action,stunning visuals, awesome
creatures/monster designs and Mark Hamill!
what more can you ask for? I'd have to say I really like it so if you can handle the gore
and ultra violence then go for it!
