Before I continue with the review, I should make a correction from yesterday’s Movies of the Moment post. I said that The Eye was the latest J-Horror remake, when it actually the remake of a Hong Kong horror film. That said, the Asian influence wasn’t as evident in this film as films like The Ring…
I had really mixed thoughts as I left the theatre after seeing the J.J. Abrams-produced monster film Cloverfield. One one hand, I liked it’s unique take on monster films. It’s far from a simple Godzilla clone and I believe that the hand-held Blair Witch-like cinematography was a smart idea. One the other hand, that same…
My packed holiday viewing schedule continues with second film in the Aliens Vs. Predator crossover series. I didn’t see the first film until after it was on DVD. I never thought that it was a great film, but I also thought that it was better than I thought it was going to be. AVP: R…
The Mist had two stigmas to content with. First, people can easily confuse the title with John Carpenter’s The Fog (and specifically the 2005 remake, which didn’t do so well). Second, it’s Frank Darabont’s third adaptation of the Stephen King story after successfully adapting The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. My verdict on this…
Danny Boyle, known for Trainspotting and 28 Days Later enters the Sci-Fi genre with Sunshine. In fact there are quite a few technical similarities between this film and 28 Days Later. They both have the same director (Boyle), screenwriter (Alex Garland), star (Cillian Murphy), and composer (John Murphy). The film even features Rose Byrne (one…
So, what did I think about this film that had fans of the show cringing at the differences? I really liked it and I was a fan of the show. That’s all I am going to say.
So, this is the sequel to the apocalyptic zombie/virus flick 28 Days Later. This was definitely more of a grim and intense movie than the first film. While the first film had a period where nothing much happened, in this film the characters were always in danger (either by “the infected” or the U.S army,…
I don’t really have too many detailed things to write about this film. As such, I will just summarize by saying that I really liked the film, however I did think that it was a step down from the other films. I think it might have been a bad idea to include more than one…
A Canadian comedy about domesticated zombies. Who WOULDN’T want to check that out? Basically the film takes place after a zombie apocalypse where life supposedly reverted back to the way it was in 50s sitcoms and the zombies are controlled with restraining collars. The movie was quite cheesy, but because of the 50s sitcom feel,…
