Leviathan

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

A deep-sea mining crew, counting down to its last few days (well, first, of their project, and later, of their lives–ouch, that was pretty promo-like, huh?) :D and, seemingly out of nowhere, one of the crew members becomes infected with an odd sort of skin disease, which may lead back to a small, spider-like sea creature brought on board.

In any event, things don’t look good, and this disease is apparently something more.

Something very deadly.

This may also explain the sunken Russian ship they find, with the mysterious captain’s log and, well…one thing leads to another, and “Alien”-style fun ensues as members of the small crew are infected or killed.

The special effects are excellent, and with all this CGI crap we have today, its great to see these “genuine” effects, and they look great.

Overall, the movie isn’t bad, it sustains a good amount of suspense in parts, and George P. Cosmatos can handle a swift action scene quite well.

“Leviathan” ain’t bad or you can try “The Abyss” for similiar fun.

Enjoy! ;) magic

DeepStar Six

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Deep in the ocean some foolish marine biologists accidently disturb an ancient prehistoric creature from its slumber.

The creature is understandably a little cheesed off and proceeds to cause the death of many of said biologists.

The creature is particularly impressive and credit must go to the the special effects guys.

The cast is eclectic, shot on a shoe-string-budget and as ever Miguel Ferrer giving the best performance as Snyder, the only member of crew realizing the gravity of their situation and slowly going stir crazy. ooohh yeeahh!

This film is better than many other watery efforts and this includes bigger budget efforts like Leviathan and Sphere.

The crew of an experimental underwater nuclear base are forced to struggle for their lives when their explorations disturb a creature who threatens to destroy their base.

nice! ;) magic

Feast Of Love

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

I watched this movie lately and i believe that sometimes fiction get much closer to the real life,to the human nature that is there in reality but we sometimes close or tend to close our eyes.

In this movie love is explained in a more realistic way and hence in the way the life is going and the way the life is in true form.

The TWO probable Definitions of love that they guy says at a moment in the movie are flawlessly realistic but depends on the observer who can see Love with his own eyes! storyline and speed is cool!

Cast is amazing and so is acting of them.

The only thing that lets it down is a bit more than needed sexuality and nudity in the movie.

Other than that, I guess this movie really deserves applause.

Enjoy ;) magic

Blue State

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

This is a romantic comedy about a disgruntled Democrat who follows through on a drunken campaign promise to move to Canada if George Bush gets re-elected.

The film does rip in-to President Bush quite often, it starts out very well, but it lost steam in the second half and never recovered.

It stars Brecking Meyer and Anna Paquin, who also served as executive-producer of the film. ;)

Did you know: George Bush plays himself ;) (archive footage)

Welcome Stranger

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Well there is a story behind the packers who packed this, but for now we will leave it at that ;) anyway on with the show…

personally I’ve not seen this, it was released back in 2006, here’s a quick outline on it. ;)

After several years without any contact, Luke is eager for a reunion.

Adam sets off to meet up with his childhood mate.

What follows is a sequence of chain reactions with Luke’s family members, overlaid with a drug and alcohol binge.

Through a series of funny, sad and violent clashes it becomes clear that the stranger has little in common with the people he has been thrown in with.

What all these characters do share though is an intense desire to be something more than what they are.

Storm Warning

Sunday, January 20th, 2008

I was asked to do a write up on Wolf Creek, but I found this, which is a new horror.

This Australian movie is brought to you by the same producers who brought you Wolf Creek and Urban Legend

“Storm Warning” begins slowly with our two main characters out fishing on their boat. They soon become lost on their way home and end up on a small island as rain clouds fill the sky above. Once they discover a seemingly abandoned house and the storm arrives, all hell then breaks loose.

Storm Warning” manages to combine elements from movies such as “Deliverance” and “Straw Dogs” to create something that is scary, gory and even funny at times.

Despite being directed by the same man behind such awful movies as “Valentine”, it’s one of the better horror movies.

Yes, it’s not original but it’s unsettling, well-acted, very gory in places and ultimately fun.

The Illusionist

Saturday, January 19th, 2008

This here is a story that should keep most viewers intrigued all the way and perhaps surprised quite a bit at the end.

Edward Norton does his normal job of getting you involved and interacting with whatever character he’s playing, this time a magician with almost supernatural powers: “Herr Eisenheim.”

The character and the tone of the movie  is low-key with next to nothing in profanity. :)

1408 Directors Cut

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

A few months ago I did a small review on this as a theatre version, well this was the DVD-rip and its an excellent quality film.

I love horror films but this one is not a horror its more of a suspense type thriller keeping you on the edge of your seat, and it did that.

1408 is the second thriller set around a hotel released in less than two months (the other being April’s Vacancy), and is by far the superior film.

The film is actually quite subtle in its way of creeping us out and disturbing us, which is a nice change of pace from the recent Hostel: Part II. Rather than bombard the audience with ghostly special effects and gore, the movie gets under your skin and goes for a much more psychological approach.
