Slumber Party Massacre.

Wanted

I never read the comic, but I've heard it doesn't quite follow the storyline. It doesn't make a lot of sense and it's message seems to be that you actually can solve all your poblems with a gun, knife or exploding rat, but regardless, it is a fun, flashy, loud and over-saturated ride.

Timur Bekmambetov delivers on the visual promise of the Nightwatch franchise and really throws the kitchen sink at this one. The first 30 minutes are pure deep-fried gold. James McEvoy is snarky and fun as the lead. Morgan Freeman says "mutherfucker" which elicited some rather nervous laughter from the audience who have clearly become acccustomed to seeing him play God lately. Cameos from Terrence Stamp & Thomas Kretchman are lovely, the locations are stunning and Angelina Jolie really needs to eat a fucking sandwich (yeah, I know she's preggers now, but she looked like a head on a stick in this film.)

It ain't great, but of all the summer action flicks so far, this is the one that truly demads dseeing it on the big screen - and other medium (no matter how kick-ass your home theater system is) can only cheapen the visual spectacle.

I thought the movie looked like total shit, but that's just based on trailers.

I hated the trailers as well - just goes to show what you gain from seeing the film in the cinema as opposed to just writing it off because of a snippert rendered on an inferior medium.

All the Real Girls

Good, genuine movie.

Charlie Bartlet was the last movie I've seen. It was alright, nothing to really write home about though.

Until Death

another direct to video Van Damme flick.

more and more i have to say - i like this guy.
the movies he's in arent brilliant - but they arent bad - he does give a decent performance.

he's specializing in 'burned out tortured soul' roles right now - but he does it well.

i'd have to say - he's probably the best acting 'traditional action hero' out there.

i'd be suprised if he doesn't break into the mainstream again..if a decent director sees his potential and puts him in something good ... even in a secondary role.
