~ An Immortal Battle for Supremacy ~

Advantages: Brilliant scenery, Great action, good characters
Disadvantages: Could have more SP/FX

...Supremacy ~ Underworld I first saw the film when I rented it from the local video shop and thought it was brilliant. The eerie pictures and captivating cover instantly drew me toward it. I had seen adverts and trailers when it arrived at the cinema and waited until it was released as everyone knows the price of cinema tickets are quite steep so I don?t tend to go much unless I really want to see something. The plot sounded good and I love vampire ...
...Blood Diamond and the other Underworld films where his part grows. Viktor- Bill Nighly Viktor is the Lord of the vampires who is raised by Selene to help win this war. After being woken early and not being impressed with her behaviour he seeks to rule the vampires into victory. He is a strong minded leader who is hard-heartened but seems to have a soft spot for Selene. Bill Nighly is a well known actor and I didn?t know he was in it until I saw ...

A Design For Death [Film Only]

Advantages: Memorable deaths, good performances and special effects
Disadvantages: Some dodgy dialogue, a few inconsistencies

...explodes. Their trip to the final destination delayed but not terminated - as the teenagers find out, there is no cheating death. The opening scene at the airport is effective, and ensures Final Destination won't be shown as flight entertainment. The deaths are well executed (if you'll excuse the pun). If it's not the thought behind them - which will get the guessing games going - then it's the timing that can catch you out. However, there is inconsistency ...
...stuff thrown around already. Final Destination is strong in the special effects department. Computer trickery can be evident, but it's not as if these effects stand out like a sore thumb. It's not entirely the works of computers however, and when something is evidently fake, there is humour with horror - something which the film manages to mix successfully on more than this one occasion. Despite being set in New York, there are a couple of clues, ...

The Cell - Movie Only

Advantages: Original, daring, visually stunning...
Disadvantages: Bare-bones plot, definite reek of misgony...

...fails to enchant me. The Cell, Singh's debut feature-film following a widely-lauded career in music videos and advertising, is astonishing on several levels. Granted, none of those levels are anywhere near the level upon which the Plot is situated, but so intoxicating is most everything else that one scarcely has the wits to notice. That plot - a flimsily-strung mesh of cliché and genre conventions - concerns the efforts of psychotherapist Catherine ...
...the mind of captured serial killer Carl Stargher (Vincent D'Onofrio) by way of an elaborate machine of some kind that transports one into the dreamscapes of another. To this end, she is assisted some by Stargher's captor, FBI agent Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn), himself harbouring a fair few demons also. It is whilst wandering those dreamscapes that The Cell astounds. The work of Scandinavian artist Odd Nerdstrum is plundered throughout, and the resultant ...

Review of The Cell (DVD)

Better than the first?

Advantages: It's so amazingly sexy
Disadvantages: The pregnant lady annoys me =P

...which I like better between Final Destination 2 and the original. I LOVE ALL the Final Destination movies, for many reasons. One, I adore horror movies! They entertain me the most. I can sit and watch horror movies such as Saw and such and laugh as people get tortured and die, its brilliant! Its so thrilling! The thing I love the most about the Final Destination series is that the creators seem to share the same sense of humor as me! I love it; it's ...
...all jokingly. In regards to Final Destination 2, I really enjoy the way everybody seems to connect to the victims of the first movie. And of course, Clear Rivers is present too. This kind of connection isn't apparent in the third and fourth movies, which makes them a little less interesting. If you have a sick sense of humor like me, go ahead and watch this. But I suggest watching the first one first! Yum, dead people. Delicious. Sorry, did I say ...
