Prometheus (2012)
I'll keep it short, given the many solid reviews up already. I tend more toward Ferret's review of the film. Beyond the visuals, which were absolutely brilliant and endlessly breathtaking, I was left feeling mostly underwhelmed. I thought the script was pretty weak. For a film dealing with the eternal vastness of space and the origins of humanity, it didn't feel very epic to me at all. The motivations behind the humans' mission and those of the space jockey and the arsenal of black goo all felt flat and thrown together. That being said, between the visuals and effects and sets and acting, there was certainly enough to keep me engrossed for 2 hours. And I'll definitely go see the next one.

Superman vs. the Elite (2012) Written by Joe Kelly & based on his story published as "What's So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way?", IMO...this is the BEST of the original DC animated Superman-movies that they made so far. The story is very nicely crafted with a good script that shows what can be done with Superman to keep him relevant in today's world. It finely explores the most human & moral issues of our favorite Man of Steel & put him into a fascinating challenge against a pretty interesting & kinda unusual super villain & his gang. Though I haven't read the comics but the earlier All Star Superman movie pretty much disappointed me after hearing lots of great stuffs about the original comic but here I think they succeed mostly in terms of portraying Superman the way he's supposed to be. There's no General Zod or Lex Luthor nor it was about a particular rivalry or an origin story but still it beautifully delivered what any good superfan wants to see in a movie. Though I'm not a fan of Japanese Anime sort of artwork for any American superhero animated-movie treatment but it didn't bother me much this time, cause the voice actors did a great job & mainly the story & script was surprisingly too good for a DC animated film. I absolutely loved it. Highly recommended. >>: A

Summer's Blood. Also known as Summer's Moon. Should be called Summer's Crap.
Many times I wonder how movies even get the green light. This is a worthless movie. Not even deserving to go straight to DVD. Ashley Greene is a beautiful woman that should be in far better. Her acting is all over the place in this one. Pointless to even watch this one. |

Finished a "Child's Play" marathon last night. I hadn't seen them in a long time, especially the older ones, so I spent the last few nights watching them all.
I still enjoy the 1st 3 movies. Brad Dourif has such a great voice for doing characters. I love the vibe of the first movie and having Chris Sarandon doesn't hurt (loved him in Fright Night). I love Child's Play 2 just because of Christine Elise (had the biggest crush on her growing up), and Child's Play 3 was just perfectly campy. Bride Of Chucky I hadn't seen since it came out. It's not as bad as I remember it and I still found it enjoyable. Seed Of Chucky on the other hand I could go another 10-15 years without seeing again. |
