Assault On Precinct 13

March 10, 2010 - 5:40 am No Comments

Poor John Carpenter, this film was clearly written when he was in a creative Hault. I really can not recommend this movie, even her fans. Do not get me wrong its not a bad film, it’s just that your argument is unrealistic and nothing really happens, and a little stale dialogue.

My real problem with this is that I saw the new version and then watched this original version and I found myself thinking “Hmm, the new is better” WHAT! surely thats not right!

originals are usually sooo much better than the remakes, especially when your movie capenter John’re seeing here, a man responsible for classics like The Fog, the thing and Halloween, all classic horror. The only thing that saves the film is cold and annoying catchy theme, also written by John Carpenter (at least did something right with the movie) So in conclusion: great big band sound remake, great John Carpenter, this crappy movie.

Bad Taste

March 8, 2010 - 10:28 am No Comments

I first saw this years ago as a student drunkenness. Seeing again in midlife is so childish and crude as it was.

If you ever saw gore movies and found them funny or laughed involuntarily under great idea budeget special effects then this is for you.There are heroes, no love interest and no nudity. Sometimes, the fun seems contrived and predictable, yet still fun all. I love the way the film parody of the movie making her day and seems to satirize the early 80’s action films.

See if you can identify them. This movie is much smarter than it looks.

Did I just give it 6? Hmmm …

Assault On Precinct 13

I * really * wanted to rate this film higher, as I wanted to see for a while, but in all honesty, I could not. The first half of the movie is pretty good, and the various aspects of history blends well, but it’s all building towards the final third that really have no crisis.

We’ve been spoiled in recent years with movies that are creating tension in ways very dark and bloody (Jeepers Creepers, for example), or ending in the blood splatter gore, so that psychological thrillers have been through. Unfortunately, this film of the 70s, while certainly effective in its day, can not keep up. Ultimately, nice to see a piece and well worth seeing, but in cinema today, a little too weak to stay with you for long.

The Grudge

After “The Ring”, Hollywood bigwigs decided to try to copy more of the horrors of Japan. Source Nice little income.

What these fools in suits do not understand that some of these horrors in Asia are really good, because they match with Asian cultures. Some stories can not change the culture of (example of a Japanese ‘Coronation Street’, for example - that would not work, would be because Corrie contains a lot of British culture).

This simply does not work for me. The film was made to try to make money out of fashion in Asia, “fear of long-haired woman” that raised its head in the early Noughties.

What about this movie? The first is the production. N, where I saw one take pictures of up to 15 minutes are so well choreographed.

This film made cinematic break throughs with one camera is used throughout, and design technology to create methods of filming that had never been done before. Second is the story.

Great! Certainly, for reflection and a state of life that we can only hope it’s fiction!

Third is the action. Mr. Owen and Mr. Caine is always bright with the same natural ability to improve the real life performance. This film is fantastic.

If nothing else, to see how long it takes! You will not regret it!

Where do I start? A script full of meaningless jargon incomprehensible, making it impossible to follow any story was the main problem, the plate in the lack of charisma among Farrell and Foxx, a horrible soundtrack and action scenes that somehow you have to be boring and a disaster.

Farrell is a good actor and I liked the mustache and mullet set, but was hopelessly miscast here, hes just not smooth enough for this role, plus the love interest was one of the worst actresses I’ve ever seen. Perhaps someone can let me know what an “L-shaped ambush ‘is, or how” time is luck??? Examples of some of the dialogue laughable contained herein.

Mann is a great director (the heat, the last of the Mohicans, Manhunter) and it should have adapted the style he helped develop back in the ’80s, but turned against his illness and after the terrible guarantee ‘that developed into one has to think twice before checking his next film .. A real surprise!

Schindler’s List

February 11, 2010 - 12:58 pm No Comments

See this film to supplement, not his knowledge of history for entertainment. In Europe, on the brink of Nazi domination. Hitler s plans to exterminate Jews in Europe led to the depths to which humanity could sink.

Oscar Schindler, the Nazi businessman, powerfully played by Liam Neeson arrives in occupied Poland. In the city of Krakow, the Jews until now have existed for centuries in their own home, granted by King Kasimerge. The Nazi occupation begins s choke hold as Jews were led to a steady decline in the size and quality of accommodation.

Ben Kingsley is at his best, as the mouthpiece of the Jews, whose own life is often compromised by their selfless sacrifices, helping Schindler, reluctantly at first, to protect vulnerable Jews.Schindler, Nazi Party member , intended to grab their share of the business opportunities offered by war. There is a slow transformation of his own loyalty to the Nazi party as witnesses of atrocities committed against his Jewish workers.

The spark of humanity that we see in the plot soon becomes an overwhelming conviction to save the lives of Jewish workers who have shown their loyalty in enamel pot and, ultimately, the arms manufacturing becomes immense fortune company.His into bankruptcy as the commander of the camp, played by Ralph Fiennes, illustrates the depravity of the Nazi regime when Schindler slowly gained the concessions for the gas chambers. You pay in hard earned money to save the life of the Jews in Schindler s List.

You should really stop there … Spielberg is the suffering of Lucas Jackson syndrome in those days. Symptoms include a misplaced sense of self-importance and an inability to recognize a bad script when they see …

This film has a great cast! This film has a great premis based on a real horrible event! This film has lots of money behind it.

If a lesser known director had this film I could have been really big, rather than wandering aimlessly in the kind of real and exhausted after 3 hours, as if not even Eric Bana can not be bothered to follow. A true event that really likes to hear his own voice, but so powerful in the industry that no one will tell Shut up! This may be the point, the film is after all about never-ending retribution, but I think after the first 2 hours we had to that point.

I’m afraid it was a case of avian influenza and King Kong all over again (when is the little boy robot / monkey is going to die ….)

The Wanderers

Not many people are aware that this film is based on a novel of the same title written in 1974. The novel is dark, super-hard, miserable and extremely fun. It is an honest look at how miserable life in the Bronx who have been in the 60s was characterized by uber-authentic dialogue everywhere.

For an adaptation, this is not bad and many of the elements The Wanderers the book to find your way around this but in a completely random manner. I feel the film is very light in comparison and allows the book to a large extent in this regard. It’s more of an idea-good movie and I think if you approach it as entertainment on a Friday night, a bar is not really so bad the nauseating coming-of-age-in-the-60s cliche moments.
