The Andromeda Strain

24 Sep

Some of you will like it – others may not who have seen the original but never judge a book by its cover … so they say :P

A U.S. satellite crash-lands near a small town in Utah, unleashing a deadly plague that kills virtually everyone except two survivors, who may provide clues to immunizing the population.

As the military attempts to quarantine the area, a team of highly specialized scientists is assembled to find a cure and stop the spread of the alien pathogen, code-named Andromeda.

ooohh yeeaahhh! ;) magic

Boy A

23 Sep

Jack (Andrew Garfield) is released from prison, finally, at the age of 24 … having been institutionalized for most of his life.

He and another boy murdered a child, when they were themselves children.

When Jack is released from prison, with a necessary new identity, his counsellor Terry (Peter Mullan as a convincingly flawed mentor), believes so fully in his right to redemption, you can see Jack wanting and willing to believe him.

As the movie unfolds, Jack’s doubts continue to arise, through a series of episodes (drug use, a fight, trespassing) he finds it impossible to escape from his criminal past, despite a heroic rescue of a young girl trapped in a crashed car.

enjoy! ;) magic

Lakeview Terrace

22 Sep

So I have to be brutally honest here, I was mainly looking forward to see “Lakeview Terrace” because I really thought it was going to be awful.

It did look that way to me by the trailers. So when it started it went from good to getting better and better.

Now not saying that this movie does not have flaws, because IT DOES.

But it surprised me with its thematic elements, and really suspenseful scenes. :)

A young couple (Patrick Wilson and Kerry Washington) has just moved into their California dream home when they become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their interracial relationship.

have fun! ;) magic

Adulthood

21 Sep

Worth a watch for sure and recommended for a critics award.

The violence scenes were brutal at times but am sure the movie demanded the same.

Hats off to the director for bringing out raw talents out of these young actors and highlighting the growing problems of young crimes in this country.

Six years after he was convicted for killing Trife, Sam Peel is released from jail.

After returning home and finding no one in, Sam visits Trife’s grave and is confronted by a man who tries to stab him.

Sam is able to overpower him, but recieves a stab wound in the shoulder.

The man tells him that someone is coming for him, and his family.

enjoy! ;) magic

The Family That Preys

20 Sep

The Family that Preys is seriously a very good movie, it will not disappoint you.

Perry managed to bring to the screen a powerful but entertaining adult story that kept the viewing audience glued to their seats.

Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodard both gave two of the best performances this year in film.

Robin Givens gave what has to be to date her best big screen performance as the honorable and hard working business woman (Abigail “Abby” Dexter).

The cast was nothing short of excellent in this touching story of love,deceit,friendship and compassion.

It was nice to finally see a film about the real ups and downs of life vs the fluff and mindless problems we have come to see to often in films today.

The two friends have enjoyed a lasting friendship throughout many years, suddenly, their lives become mired in turmoil as their adult children’s extramarital affairs, unethical business practices and a dark paternity secret threaten to derail family fortunes and unravel the lives of all involved. Sounds like fun :P

If you enjoy a good story – its for you!

enjoy! ;) magic

Anamorph

20 Sep

This movie is magic except one thing!.

The cinematography is great, the acting is top-notch and the plot and storyline keep you guessing and on edge till the end.

The end is a terrible let down for an otherwise super production.

Its like they ran out of ideas and money at the same time or maybe there is a producer to blame. :P

I would definitely recommend watching this movie even with the poor ending.

Willem Dafoe plays an NYPD detective who grapples with a string of unusual serial murders, perpetrated by a killer who fashions himself an artist.

The detective investigates the brilliantly composed crime scenes, as he draws closer to a mystery that may end up implicating himself.

have fun! ;) magic
