Ch. vs. Dis. !

Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago on 22 April 2007 03:53 (A review of Fight Club)

I walked away from this movie both, challenged and greatly disturbed. The utter feeling of hopelessness that these characters felt and the need to follow a charismatic leader was a frustrating feeling for me. Our Savior stands before us wanting to fill our every need and to take away every feeling of hopelessness that fills the lives of today's generation. The challenge that I felt was one of a desperate need to spread HIS love to everyone. The film making qualities were awesome and it was probably one of the best made movies that I have ever seen. Norton and Pitt gave phenomenal performances, as well!

Super Hero :P

Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago on 22 April 2007 03:50 (A review of Batman Begins)

…the best Batman movie to date. The script is first rate and actually helps to give a plausible reason behind the villian’s mad scheme to destroy Gotham City. The cast has some of Hollywood’s best supporting actors. Casting such movie heavyweights as Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, and Gary Oldman only adds to the film’s richness. Not to be overlooked is the film’s musical score, arguably the best movie soundtrack of 2005. Parental advisory: Batman Begins is violent, dark, realistic, and could be terrifying to a small child or an easily shaken pre-teen.

Better than the first ones!

All 3 of the Saw movie have an amazing story to them, and it is true that we should all appreciate life. Look at it this way, at least you have a glass to fill. “Saw 3” has some extremely gory scenes that I wouldn't recommend a younger viewer watch. In the 3rd movie of the series there are some unexpected twists and turns to the sequel.

Extended Version!

Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago on 20 April 2007 05:14 (A review of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King)

First let me say that if you haven't watched the extended edition DVD, then you haven't seen the whole story. There are many crucial and really big holes in the theatrical version. The EE DVD fills in most of those holes and provides continuity for the story line and for character development, e.g., Eomer (Karl Urban), Eowyn (Miranda Otto), Boromir (Sean Bean), Faramir (David Wenham), Denethor (John Noble) and Grima Wormtongue (Brad Dourif). The Mouth of Sauron (Bruce Spence) is a particularly intriguing (and ghastly) character who is left entirely out of the theatrical version. Secondly, this is the only flick that I've ever dusted off and watched so many times that I can't count them. I'm talking about the entire trilogy, of course. The unfortunate thing about such an epic motion picture is that some of the actors may spend the rest of their lives making themselves believable in other roles. Karl Urban won't be one of those, however. His role in The Bourne Supremacy was very believable...and of course he had an entirely different look, which helps immensely. I'll close by saying that I think that one of the most inspiring sequences in the trilogy is when Aragorn prepares and dresses for battle at Helm's Deep. Two of the saddest scenes are when Boromir dies close to the end of Fellowship while acknowledging Aragorn as his brother, his captain, his king...and when Haldir (Craig Parker) dies at Helm's Deep while fleetingly surveying his Elven Dead on the battlements.

hmmm,

Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago on 20 April 2007 04:48 (A review of Ghost Rider)

The film seems to say it wants to be about standing against evil and rooting for second chances—with Johnny seeking any opportunity to make up for the bad choices of his past. But cursory (and perverse) nods to God only serve to remind us of how ridiculous and ugly the ghost rider's world is. Second chances come to those who fight for them, and when push comes to shove, only the devil's power is strong enough to defeat evil.

Amazing movie !

Posted : 1 year, 4 months ago on 20 April 2007 04:40 (A review of 300)

Saw the midnight showing, gotta say that it's the best action/epic since Braveheart. Gladiator was more of a character story, but I really liked this even more than Gladiator as a movie. The action scenes were epic and absolutely gorgeous, with loooooooong single-take cuts that really amp up the action in slow-motion.
The cinematography was amazing. Battle scenes the like of which I have not seen on the screen since "Private Ryan".Butler commands the screen in a way I have seldom seen, he deserves at least some consideration for an Oscar.And folks, this was the "warrior ethos" on display. Its what we in the USMC try to instill in our Marines. I've never seen it put better than the words these players speak, and the actions they perform. It tells you "why" we, who volunteer to fight, are what we are, even thousands of years later.All I can say is "Wow". Go see it. You will be entertained! I know I'm going back to see it again, and (if rumours are true) on the IMAX screen if possible.
Unfortunately, the only negative point of this movie is that they made it so different and untrue because of showing the Persian Empire and Xerxes like monsters (Persian Empire and Xerxes were Heroes too), and it lost all the History points. I prepared to watch a movie closer to the History style, and characters should be based on their true appearance (I'm sure Xerxes wasn't that Ugly, and he had beard).
Except the negetive point, they made an amazing movie, and you'll love it. Hope everyone enjoys it.
