Cloverfield

Fri, 20 Jun 2008 08:37:59 -0400

This film, surrounded in hype and mis-direction of what the creature would look like was the main reason why this film did well, obviously the trailer points to a monster of some sort, that hurls the head off the statue of liberty.

28 weeks later picks up well 28 weeks later after the first 28 days later, if that maeks sense to you, this sequel really aims to further explore the rage virus, and introduces the virus carrier element of the story which is vital to the pivotal turning point in the film at subsequent stages of the unfolding arc.

Forbidden Planet: Two Disk 50th Anniversary Issue

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 12:52:17 -0400

I first saw Forbidden Planet when I was a kid, and I loved it. When I saw the DVD, I was a little worried, would it be as good as I remembered, or will it, like so many other film I’d loved, be so bad as to be unwatchable. Well, I’m pleased to say that it stands up to the test of time. Oh, the dialogue may sound a little dated, but the storyline and the artwork are perfect. It’s also an important film in the science fiction genre. There are no ‘aliens’ as such, no big laser battles, no big bug-eyed monsters jumping out at people. Instead, we have an intelligent film with characters that are believable and likeable. Its importance lies a great deal in the production values. The vast open vistas utilizing cinemascope, its color palette, not quite as saturated as some films, and its special effects, are all of a superior quality to most other science fiction films being made around that time. The movement of the flying saucer (this time peopled not with aliens bent on destruction, but by humans on a rescue mission) is almost flawless, with none of the wobble found in some of the contemporary films of the time. It went on to influence many other films and television series, not least the original Star Trek. In fact, at one point, the crew step on what appears to be the transporters from Trek.

War Of The Worlds

Tom Cruise in this rated PG-13 movie really out did his self in this Steven Spielberg movie. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat because you never new what in the world that Army of Extraterrestrial were going to do next.Even if this

Serenity

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 23:06:08 -0400

This is undoubtedly one of the best sci-fi movies of all time. Joss Whedon took his Firefly series and turned it into a masterpiece of a film. It is a perfect combination of intense action sequences, phenomenal plot line, and the off color wit that made Firefly so wildly popular.

Transformers

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 15:13:19 -0400

This film was definitely directed towards those of us who grew up on Transformers, and I for one thought Michael Bay and Stephen Spielberg did a wonderful job. First and foremost, the special effects are like nothing I have ever seen before. The transformations made me giggle every time, and I loved how seamlessly the graphics seemed to fit into the film. The issue with big special effects films (particularly those of Michael Bay) is that they usually lack in character and story. This is where Shia LaBeouf steps in. I'm sure we'll see a lot of him in the future. His wit and charm were sensational, and made up for his counterparts looks and little character.

Poltergeist

Sun, 07 Oct 2007 16:16:04 -0400

"There here." Poltergeist's 25th anniversary is now out on Dvd. The dissapointing part of this dvd is that there are no out takes. However, the movie itself is what i loved. Taking place in a quiet up and comming suburban neighborhood the ghosts present themselves a mischevious moving objects and then later take Carol ann to the otherside.

The Movie The Covenant

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 21:00:54 -0400

The movie "The Covenant" was a pretty decent movie in my opinion. I like the way that the story was laid out in general,and than plus the way the characters played in the movie.I would recommend this movie for people to watch if they like kind of super-natural movies or fantasy movies.

Serenity

Serenity is the movie that grew out of the short-lived TV Show on Fox called Firefly. Apparently Fox did what it does best, and killed a great show. I swear they'd cancel the Simpsons if they could figure out how to make it less popular.
