Final Destination 3 review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:30 (A review of Final Destination 3)

Is by far the best of three, definitely. But I noticed some errors in the script, you know, there is a gap between two shots, as if the film had two rhythms, but this undermines the quality. I liked it, and I think the best I've seen. Not that the others are bad, but this is very good. If it had been closed here, this franchise would still have dignity, and unfortunately they decided to appeal to Part 4 and 5, probably soon they'll announce the 6th.

Final Destination 2 review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:30 (A review of Final Destination 2)

The film doesn't need a script, if only because its language is not in talk but in the scenes of disaster, in which case here the tension is what gives the movie! Let's say that the film is quite strong enough, that besides the very impressive visual effects, you get a bit shocked in due to some scenes could not be forgotten for a long time... Like when you're going out of the car and you're in a traffic jam... already run through in a panic after seeing this movie... heheh Being a horror movie, many people fail to understand that movies like these should not be taken seriously, because it is only as great fun for fans of the genre. I read several comments on many websites about this film, not everyone liked, which is common because some found appealing and extremely bad taste, in fact, for a horror movie, what do you expect? Just don't agree to compare this movie with others like "The Ring," "The Others", which are other types of horror films which deal with other issues other proposals... Premonition is a teen horror movie (like "Scream," "Urban Legend "...) of humor, not psychological horror, for it has nothing to compare them. Director David R. Ellis did very well, because we can not always attend to a sequence as good as its predecessor.

Final Destination review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:30 (A review of Final Destination)

I think itโ€™s pretty original for the time he was done. A thriller based on accidents, very different. I think the film cool and logical. Not that I believe that destiny thing. But I like it when a film poses the theory that will follow and become attached to it, using it as base. And following this whole idea of each thing in its time, the movie makes much sense.

Love Wrecked review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:29 (A review of Love Wrecked)

From all the films merely equal to this, which ones are not pleasant? All have very nice girls in love with handsome guys with a nice sense of humor. Their lives are all very nice. However, nothing more than just a "nice" movie. That's all you can see in the movie as well. The movies with Amanda are good... but on this one I think it missed something in the arrest over the film.

The Exorcist review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:28 (A review of The Exorcist)

One of the few horror films that still make me afraid. Some scenes are bone-chilling! Magnificent performances, excellent special effects (even today because nowadays everything is based on the CGI), interesting story, screenplay and a fabulous voice acting superb from the wonderful Mercedes McCambridge as the voice of the devil. What strikes me most in this movie is not the horror of the possession of a child of 12 years but the fear of a mother who desperately tries to find a solution to save her daughter. The performance of Ellen Burstyn is simply heavenly. She got through all the despair of the character. Rare to see a horror movie with a performance like hers. Linda Blair also devastating in her operations. This film, regardless of whether or not original is so good it managed to make the Academy (which clearly leaves no room for horror movies) plunged and made it being indicated along with some number of Oscars. This really is a fact that should be taken into consideration.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:28 (A review of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules)

The eternal fight between brothers is something that may never have the solution. After all, the older one teases with the youngest or the youngest suffering in the hands of the older one? What really matters is that one day they will see the importance of real brothers. The second adaptation of the books/comics of Jeff Kinney, follows the same pace as the first, only takes a different focus. Instead of seeing how the friendship of children, now we see the relationship that Greg (Zachary Gordon) has with his brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick), by the way is very turbulent. The screenplay light and relaxed, serves for anyone to watch and have fun, even as a child movie content, but hindered by Greg at school or even at home are very identifiable, I mean, everyone has gone through something similar. The film depicts this relationship and family and friendship between older brothers and younger and all its ups and downs, as in the film is perhaps a little better to see. The script is simple even though some holes, and some things that leave the air ... Perhaps expectations for the next film, leaving more unanswered questions is always a danger, even more attentive to the eyes.

Neds review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:27 (A review of Neds)

Non-Educated Delinquents showed from the beginning till the end a fantastic dark film, the kind that does not offer any kind of hope time, its subject matter is extremely delicate and somewhat longer portrayed by countless other movies in a somewhat less delicate. Brings a dry course of a story with great significance in almost every frame. Chilling scenes with the protagonist's father and the insane notion of aggression and power of the teenager, teenage people in fact, that doesn't come nothing from life that follows. In long, all the time even when something bad happened I could not tell to the protagonist did not, but I was distressed by. With the progress of the film was showing through, which was totally unconventional, that it was no longer an option, was nature, was the time trial and most of the problems, like after wanting things to be as before.

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:26 (A review of Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole)

The film honoured its role to dazzle. Its look is something without comparisons, a glimpse that summarizes the sublime in spectacular images that are governed by an almost uninterrupted soundtrack, a full concert in mid-film. Still wins points for not indulging in cuteness. The owls own movements which are extremely close to the real, only running it because of the inevitable movement of pacifiers (to speak). In fact, the motions "neck" of owls is what gives grace to the comic relief of the story, Digger, a little owl that is paired with an addiction to music with any issue that arises (Twilight). The movement of the camera is another goal that the team brand, making several slow shots and performing stunts that go and see with owls or switching focus or piggyback with them or focusing on the most impressive details such as drops of rain that clash against the realistic and expressive eyes or languages that can be seen when the owls are talking about the profile.

The Notebook review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:25 (A review of The Notebook)

Well, I am one of those romantic ... and I much prefer a romance to a romantic comedy (anytime!) then, so was predisposed to like the movie. Of course I heard much about it because it is the typical movie that when people talk about romance, someone mentions the conversation: "You like it? Have you seen The Notebook?" The story is too beautiful and the romantic cliches are all there (thankfully) because the novel is to be romantic, it is to have remarkable dialogues, is to have beautiful scenes, etc.. Not to mention how I cried during the 2-hour movie, it seems that nothing else matters but the happiness of two characters on television. It's over, and and I was still crying ten minutes more, nor could he comment on the scenes without thrill me again ... ahahah (I'm hopeless, I know). Those who like novels, have to see The Notebook (it took me to see, because I'm stupid). I have a list of novels to watch (or read), but I better take a break, because life without these cinematographic, would be depressing!

Scream 4 review

Posted : 12 years, 8 months ago on 31 August 2011 12:25 (A review of Scream 4)

Pleasant surprise coming by from this. Scream 4 is the continuation of the franchise that best know how to relate to the original film through a script that manages to be creative, intelligent and fun most of the time. The opening sequence can now rival the great original film by making a joke of metalanguage in creative ways, something that the applicant in the franchise. Here the screenwriter Kevin Williamson can (de)construct a remake with new characters while giving prominence to the old characters, can play with the cliches of the genre, but can be stressful enough to function as suspense. In the collective ideas, those who work are more numerous than those who don't work so well (the character of the young man does not take off, after the sequence set in movie marathon, the film loses a bit of pace, an offer of passage in the hospital parking lot). But it's always interesting to see how the script can do can invent and reinvent themselves by recycling old ideas. Some dialogues are exquisite. The cast is good general, but the more experienced are more reliable choices. Relying once again with Wes Craven who knows very well what it does, Scream 4 works as both an homage, a parody and a reinvention of its proposal.
