Young boys prefer hell ... Jennifer's Body

Advantages: Good strong leads
Disadvantages: Tried to hard to be cool

...helpless victims after falling under Jennifer's spell but it was also very pathetic to show that all teenage boys could easily be slayed by Jennifer (but hey maybe they could be!). Its hard to remember the film is a horror film at some points because of the witty one liners and out of place quips that some of the character come out with, again I think they try to hard to sound very hip and cool. But bearing that in mind some of the characters did ...
...the special affects scenes showing Jennifer's transformation were very well done. I openly admit i'm very jealous that even as a demon with a mouth the size of a grid and blood oozing everywhere, Megan Fox still looked very sexy. The film gradually built up tension from the start of the film and panned out quite well to the end. The finale was not what I expected, nor did it stand out as a fantastic twist but saying that it was a fitting ending to ...

Review of Jennifer's Body

Team Jacob has arrived!

Advantages: Excellent acting of Taylor Lautner
Disadvantages: Some of the wolf shots are poor.

...sequel to the exceptionally popular Twilight was eagerly anticipated by fans worldwide. Based on the best-selling novel by Stephenie Meyer the advance box-office sales were tremendous but could the film live up to expectations? The Plot Bella Swan, a regular 17 year old had previously fallen in love with Edward Cullen a 17 year old vampire who had been around for over a hundred years, she was desperate to become immortal but Edward refused ...
...much of Edward as in Twilight which is a disappointment to all Team Edward fans. The majority of the time he appears it is through Bella imagination. Taylor Lautner plays Jacob Black. The 17 year old spent a lot of time body-building before this film. The Director, Chris Weitz, had contemplated changing the actor for this part as in the story Jacob changes physically a lot in a very short space of time. Lautner rose to the challenge and the film ...

Review of Twilight Saga - New Moon

Romeo and Juliet.. with sharp, pointy teeth

Advantages: Visually striking in places, nice buff bodies.. if you like that sort of thing
Disadvantages: Little of interest to the uninititated

...its opening weekend and gave Twilight fans their latest fix of Bella, Edward, Jacob et al. I was dragged along on opening day, after my girlfriend had made herself watch Transporter 3, it was the least that I could do in return. I’m not the best qualified to comment on this film, having not read the series of books it is based on. Still, from a layman’s perspective (and Twilight really does seem to have reached cult status) I feel I can comment ...
...moments. Buuut… The Twilight unititiated will pick this film to pieces. Whilst the fans pick over which plot developments have been omitted or drool over Jacob and his other muscle beach buddies, the neutral viewer will be less than impressed. Whereas Mr Muscle has a certain amount of charm (and the most hypnotic white teeth) the other cast members make hold minimal thrall over the audience. Bella has no ambition and seemingly no interest outside ...

Review of Twilight Saga - New Moon (DVD)

"I want my Son back!!"

Advantages: A Very emotional and moving filmm very well acted.
Disadvantages: It happened in real life.

THE CHANGELING (2008) "I used to tell Walter, "Never start a fight... but always finish it." I didn't start this fight... but by God, I'm going to finish it." This review is a 'film only' review as it is a film that I watched on Sky Movies. It is the 2008 film, 'Changeling', directed by Clint Eastwood and written by J Michael Straczynski. The film is actually based on real life events that took place in Los Angeles in 1928, wait that is wrong, it's ...
...story, even the names have stayed the same. I have to admit to starting to watch the film with a little aprehension, as Angelina Jolie is not an actress I am particularly fond of and I was a little in the dark about Eastwood's direction. As soon as the film started I have to say that I was very impressed with the setting and the vehicles, it certainly looked very authentic. THE STORY The story was about a single mother - Christine Collins, she worked ...

Review of The Changeling (DVD)

Where d'you get those eyes?

Advantages: Solid plot development, gets on with it
Disadvantages: Comical element reduces the impact

Victor Salva's Jeepers Creepers had one thing that this sequel could not: the fear of the unknown. JC2 follows straight on from the first film, chronologically, and is a horror film not to be taken lightly. The film opens as a farmer and his sons are out working in the fields when one of the scarecrows suddenly sprouts wings and flies off with the youngest son. The scene then flicks to a school bus, returning a group of basketball players and cheerleaders ...
...the first. I suppose it would help, but there is nothing stopping you enjoying and understanding this any more than someone who has seen the first one before. Jeepers Creepers 2 is currently airing on Film4, and is available on DVD as long as you have a look around. Recommended. ...
