Hannibal Rising - Review

written by owen, published 2008-Oct-31, comment

If there is anything as a good cannibal movie then this is it. Gripping story of love, madness and obsession with a little cannibalism thrown in the mix for taste.

As in any good horror/suspense movie the story progresses slowly in a haunting kinda way as it follows the young Hannibal Lecter on his murderous journey of revenge and aunty loving (or maybe it was just me salivating over Li Gong). The lead character could be a good riddler in a batman movie.

Lots of flashbacks, not alot a talking, samari swords. Great movie. 9 out of 10

I Am Legend - Review

I don't know what to say about this movie. It had lots of promise based on the trailers. There is probably some hidden meaning in there somewhere. Basically this movie is an abomination. There should be a law passed to not put Bob Marley's music in shitty movie. This one of the most pointless zombie movies I have ever seen - absolutely nothing happens.

You would think that a person living alone in New York city that you would not get themselves into trouble but unfortunately Will Smith in this movie is a hazard to himself and spends most of his time talking to mannequins and his daughter's dog.

I can't believe that Alice Braga is younger than I am. She should be at least a cute older woman 40.

Worst movie I've watched in a long time. 2 out of 10 stars. awful, awful, awfully boring and anti-climatic.

Finders Keepers - Adventure Movies

written by owen, published 2008-Jun-13, comment

Indian Jones 4 (for the lack of a better word) was an "ABOMINATION". That said it wasn't really that bad, if you think of it as "made in the 1980s". Its just like the other movies except obvious things tend to happen at obvious times like whenever you Indy finds something interesting he will usually instantly get caught. Maybe I've out grown it. Tomb Raider seemed to have found EVERY SINGLE TREASURE ON THE PLANET ALREADY. Good adventure movies are hard to come by these days. Especially with all the computer graphics, global warming, deforestation and sex tapes.
I think the main problem with adventure movies is that they are not a re-newable resource. Once somebody goes there you almost always expect that all the traps will get fired and the whole place will simply go to hell - express shipping. Rendering it almost impossible for new people to die in the traps or re-discover the treasure. Its a sad sad tail, almost like the movie "National Treasure". What happened to movies like Sinbad, Pitch Black, Aladdin, 13th Warrior, The Mommy, Kull the Conquerer, or Conan The Barbarian? Have we set up motels and mini-marts at every corner of the planet rendering it impossible for anybody to lost? No more treasure on the open seas?
I remember back in the day (when the earth was flat) all you had to do was wake up drunk on a boat in the middle of the ocean with a map, someone to impregnate and a compass - you would end up on a island filled with a monkeys, cyclops-es and angry things that were pissed off because you disturbed their island paradise with your rap music and poor fashion sense. lack of trendy-ness. You never really need to know how or why you ended up there. All you cared about was the secret treasure, magic, keys to stuff and avoiding the next thing tries to eat you.
So say for instance you can't find a deserted island with a active volcano (because islands expensive nowadays) you could always go off to a place like Ireland, Scotland or Greenland or one of those "land" places. I'm sure you can find actors and camera people who AREN'T LAZY. You could even make a reality tv show or something - on second thought - no - because more than likely somebody will end up NOT WANTING TO FALL INTO THE BOTTOMLESS PIT BECAUSE THEY FEEL SICK - amateurs. I've run out of ideas. its just not the same.

Hot Fuzz Review

Hot Fuzz is a action movie comedy parady about a top London cop transferred to a small town and paired with a witless new partner. As usual I'm late on the uptake when it come to movies but its a rediculously funny movie with english accents that starts out slow and ends with a bang. 9 out of 10 near perfect.

Goal! Review

written by owen, published 2008-Apr-10, comment

I was watching black starz when I saw this footbal movie start. I'm not a fan of sports movies, I always found them lame and predictable but Goal is a exceptional football movie about a mexican football player from LA who travels to england in the hopes of playing for NewCastle. For the first half hour of the movie I was waiting for the black star/co-stars to come on because obviously its "Starz in Black", but I kept on watching and I'd say that this maybe the best football movie I've watched since Bend it Like Beckam. Anna Friel is hotty white girl but thats besides the point. Goal gets a 9 out of 10. As good as a football movie can get.
