An Adaption Loaded with Flaws

Advantages: Some Pretty Good Performances and CGI is Great
Disadvantages: The Rest of the Performances are Forgettable, Screenplay is Goofy, and Action Scenes Have Flaws

...adaption of Anne Rice's novel Queen of the Damned. The story revolves around a vampire named Lestat who has just awoken from a long sleep. After he awakes he meets a band and becomes their lead singer. The band becomes a huge hit and the rest of the vampires living throughout the world don't like Lestat's public profile, and decide to attact Lestat at one of his massive concerts. Lestat also meets up with the man who made him, Marius, who warns ...
...I have to be honest, Queen of the Damned is not my favorite Anne Rice novel, it wasn't a terrible novel but it wasn't great either. The screenplay for this movie is really goofy and a lot of the dialogue isn't well thought out.. The acting is pretty mixed up, some is good and a lot is bad. Stuart Townsend plays Lestat in this movie and looks nothing like the character described in the book. Usually flaws like this is saved by the actors acting but ...

Review of Queen Of The Damned (DVD)

I'm not scared......and i'm not laughin either!!!!!

Advantages: sorry,but i can't think of any!!
Disadvantages: lack of story,doesn't engage the watcher

...went to see the film Jennifer's Body after seeing it advertised on tv,from the advert it looked like it would be a bit of a spoof horror-comedy (i imagined it would be like the Scary Movie films). I was severely dissapointed with this film, in my opinion it's one of the worst films I have watched in years!!!!The story was about a young girl being possessed,and how she was able to hide this from everyone but her best friend,leading everyone to believe ...
...would not reccomend this film,it did not have much of a story line, it wasn't at all scary and there were maybe one or two funny one-liners in the film,but they certainly didn't make up for what was missing.I think that the maker's of the film must have known this wasn't such a great film,and therefore put any remotely good bits into the advert to give an illusion the film would be something it wasn't!!!Even if you are a huge megan fox fan i would ...

Review of Hostel (Unseen Edition) (DVD)

Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations - Surprisingly Awesome

Advantages: Fantastic film, WAY better than Butterfly Effect 2
Disadvantages: A little gorey and contains a graphic Sex Scene

...I heard there was a Butterfly Effect 3, my heart sank a little bit, although I loved Butterfly Effect with Aston Kutcher and Amy Smart, in fact loved it enough to have bought all the special edition DVD’s, I was not so pleased about Butterfly Effect 2. Although it had the same concept the story was horrible and not as gripping and emotional as the first one. I expected the same from Butterfly Effect 3, and with all honestly renting it and placing ...
...follows the same concept as Butterfly Effect and Butterfly Effect 2, a man has a gift to travel backwards in time. Unlike 1 & 2, the main character already knows of his skill and is using it to help with police investigations and travelling back in time to witness the murder and identify the killer, which makes him a good living but also leave him in a state of depression. When his dead girlfriend’s sister visits him unexpectedly to ask him to use ...

Review of Butterfly Effect 3 - Revelation (DVD)

paranormal activity, one of the best films ive ever seen!

Advantages: scary, good length, more left to your own imagination
Disadvantages: bit boring at the beginning, some parts were a bit confusing

I think that paranormal activity is a really good film to see if you like horror films! i watched it one night on my own and i really was so scared for the rest of the night. i think that the story line is really good and it is very effective in making you scared. i dont usually get scared by horror films that i watch, but this is the scariest film i've seen in a long time. i'd highly recommend it to anyone that likes a good scary film. i wasn't ...
...because i'd read on a few websites had said that the film was extremely scary and that many people were scared for days afterwards and i wasnt sure whether this was going to be true. but it honestly has left a lasting effect on me and i can't wait to get it on DVD! ...
