AVP:R- 6.5/10

It was actually..... good. I mean, mindless violence and shooting kind of good, but i liked it. Lotsa gore and good kills. Random ending though

Decent Browning/Chaney collaboration with an undercooked finale.

Are you kidding me? Lost World had a few good moments but I can't sit through that one and just watch it, so boring.

Went to see I Am Legend a few days ago. it was good but I wish they wouldn't have shown the faces of the monsters at all or at the very least, not so early in the movie. Would have been much more intense if they didn't just look like ugly people annnd all look the exact same.

Yeah... The looking exactly the same... Confused me... A lot.

I just... JUST saw this film this afternoon...

Honestly, I thought that the beginning of the movie was amazing. I thought that the director really created an atmosphere of alienation and desperation. I love everything that is post-apocalyptic, and I thought that the setting was incredibly chilling. I also liked the character of Neville and his relationship to Sam. I thought that Will Smith played a really great central character that was also flawed and had physical weakness.

The first half of the film was brilliant.

However, there is a specific turning point after which the film clearly went downhill very rapidly and the suddenly tacked on a ridiculously cheesey Hollywood ending. I am interested to see whether or not it holds true in the James Matheson original.

I give the movie a B/B+, also noting that some of my disappointment MIGHT have been spurred by the ASSHOLES to my right TALKING THROUGH THE WHOLE FILM (and when I asked them very politely to "Please be quiet," they were very rude).

I hate people.

...

I have more movies to rant about but am oh, so so tired..........

Death Sentence
If you enjoy revenge flicks, this is definitely worth the watch. While the first half of the film is good itself, it's as if the film gets a stern kick in the ass while moving into the second (from the family threats, onward... although I'd classify "second half" as once he wakes up in the hospital... the events leading towards that are equally good, so I'm including them in my reference to the "second half.") I enjoyed the references to SAW (including a tweaked version of the twist-ending theme, and a graffitied Jigsaw puppet.) The gore, while mild throughout most of them movie, shines in the ending scenes. In one instance, a gunshot blows a hole clear through an enemy's chest, propelling him backward in a comic-book fashion. I expected it to end differently, and unlike Wan's other films, there is no twist presented in the final moments. Death Sentence comes recommended, if only for the last few scenes, to those who enjoy revenge flicks or similar material.

I also saw Shoot 'Em Up the other day. Boy, was that fun. As soon as it ended, I wanted to watch it again. It's the type of film you can just sit down with, and enjoy. Leave your brain on stand-by. While the budget is modest, this film is simply dripping with style. The script is exceptionally tight, running a mere 80 minutes in length, and never forgetting what it's main goal should be: keeping the action going, and going. There isn't even time to consider falling into boredom. The cast of characters are not only unique, but superbly acted by the likes of Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti. It's obvious they had fun while shooting this flick. Oh, and this film had me in more stitches then most films categorized as solely 'comedy.' If you're looking for a fun, adrenaline-filled, hilarious, dripping-with-cool film from 2007... you can't go wrong with Shoot 'Em Up.

newb 12-30-2007 07:46 PM

Shoot Em Up.......see joshaube's comments

Resident Evil: Extinction....not bad...the best out of the three IMO

Sweeney Todd

I dig a good musical, but I've never been much of a fan of Sondheim. His motifs are just a little too repetitive and not quite grand enough for my taste, but he's a great story teller and Burton maximizes every element in what I feel is his 3rd best film (behind ED WOOD and SLEEPY HOLLOW). I really, really liked it. The acting was great, Depp should get the Oscar for his operatic performance and the rest of the players all play it to the hilt.

Set designs by Dante Faretti and costumes by Colleen Atwood make the world sumptuous and lived-in and the directing... top notch. Burton has got his groove back. The storytelling is efficient and beautiful and the gore is wonderfully over-the-top.

If you dig musicals and horror, this is a must see theater experience. If you don't like musicals this one probably still won't win you over, as I found the music to be the weakest element of the film.

8.5/10

The Dark ~ certainly interesting, and not bad, but is more than a bit jumbled. Started out promising enough though, and has a good, creepy feel at times.

The Gathering ~ again, interesting, I like the story, and the actors. Not terribly original, but I enjoyed it overall.

Edmond ~ I have mixed feelings about this one. Its intriguing at times, quite unsettling at times, and yes, a very good performance by Macy. But still, I am not sure why I was supposed to be blown away by the shocking ending.....:rolleyes: And there were other problems, some of it I just found irritating. I think I will have to watch it again soon, see how I feel about it after a second viewing.
