Feast of love, this is a post I’ve been meaning to do since October.

It is a romantic drama with some comic elements but a great deal of in-your-face depressing reality, too.

All of the principal players are good, bringing depth to a story that could be dismissed, at times, as being overly melodramatic.

As for the Portland scenery, it is lovely, as are the costumes and camera work. Also, fans of the cast will want to see it, too. But, be forewarned that some tears might fall and that the experience overall will be bittersweet. magic

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.
