  • User's comment:Rejuvenating from "extinction" by Super Vegeta

    Alice is back to blow up some zombie s**t.This movie got one of the best performances of Millay's career and i was really impressed on seeing some of the footage!Ali Larter reprises her role as Claire and in my opinion,she's getting better&better in every film she does!!Shawn Roberts as Albert,for the first time on this franchise and did his job pretty good enough& in my opinion,he steals the show because he's super strong and fatally fast!Chris red field's character was taken by Wentworth miller was a great addition!also this movie is going to be as far as true to the game series itself than the prequels.This movie used "Fusion camera system" of James Cameron for the 3d shoots!Also the 3d came out really wonderful and this is going to get much better applause than avatar did!Another blockbuster for Paul Anderson,before the final showdown in"RE:regeneration" --"jason molar avian"

  • User's comment:good film for Josh Radnor by crystaldayton77

    This is the debut film of Josh Radnor. I saw it at the Gasparilla Film Festival and really liked it. The producer, Jesse talked about the positive message that the film tries to convey about simply trying until you succeed This movie is a warm story of young people struggling with relationships in New York City. In the end, the character resolve most of their relationship issues and the ending is satisfying. This story was told with heart and warmth.

    Josh Radnor did a great job both as a director and as the leading actor. The girl with the autoimmune disorder felt she was unlovable. The man who wins her over does so by convincing her that she deserves to be loved. This is a universal message that is not told enough in movies.

  • User's comment:The Best movie about Killer Piranhas ever made. by Mr Impossible (enedrulesyou@yahoo.com)

    I thought this movie was going to be just AWFUL. However I was mistaken, it was actually pretty good. The acting, as I would've expected was mediocre, but no one in the cast was destined to shine in this film. I also had a good time watching the film, I was really happy how the Piranhas looked. Don't go in expecting a masterpiece like Citizen Kane or Schindler's List, cause you'll definitely be disappointed, but with a movie title like this, who would? Just go in expecting some laughter and have some fun with it. Also there's a lot of nudity and gore, so I don't advice parents to take your kids in theater to watch this film. Piranha 3-D lived up to its title, featuring Killer Piranhas with 3-D. It isn't in any way perfect, but then again, it doesn't need to be.

  • User's comment:I Instinctively Want More by benjamin_lappin

    How does one regain credentials as a director after having creating the bona fide disaster piece, that was the typically tedious Hollywood remake, "Assault On Precinct 13"? For a start you return to your roots and you return to what you know, which is precisely what director Jean-Francois Richet has done as he presents the first installment of a two part tale detailing the life of Jacque Mesrine, France's most notorious criminal. The man who was once known as France's "Public Enemy No1" provides an interesting and engaging story, as anyone of such notoriety would, as his life charts an almost unpredictable path across countries and continents but as with all literative adaptations, does it translate onto the big screen?

    Well, aside from the fact that no "big screen" has shown this film, and that all viewings have been in smaller independent picture houses reserved for the cine-literate, the tongue-in- cheek answer is no. However, the answer to the serious issue is 'a bit of both'. The irony is the films major interest, that being the protagonists own story, is both its strongest feature, but one of the main contributing factors into the films fall into the category of "entertaining" as opposed to "gripping". What intrigues is that this is the real life tale of a dangerous man, that we get a glimmer into the actual horrors of these crime stories, that everything is truthful, that nothing has been unnecessarily overblown purely for the purposes of revenue. Jacques Mesrine, as frighteningly portrayed by the excellent Vincent Cassel, is a man whose life is a nonstop roller-coaster of carnage and violence, he is a man who is utterly incapable of escaping the life he leads and what's more is that he has no notions of leaving it, not even when the wife of his two children pleads with him to remain on the straight and narrow. Cassel is a commanding on screen presence, managing to evoke a charm and sense of warmth from the audience as we cheer him on in certain circumstances, then being able to switch to a cold, calculating, carefree individual while maintaining the integrity of the character. Unfortunately, while Cassel's acting brings Mesrine to life on celluloid, the story which makes up "Part I" is confined to the existence he experienced and herein lies an issue. Through no fault of the criminal in question, Richet finds himself walking into an unexpected problem that is we, as an audience, have already seen everything. We have seen a man physical abuse the one person who loves him as something more than a hired gun in Goodfellas. We have seen a character return from the army to be corrupted by the lures of the "mob" lifestyle in The Godfather. We have seen fanciful shoot out sequences in Heat. We have seen hostage taking go wrong in Dog Day Afternoon, unfortunately for Mesrine his life is nothing new to those that have already been initiated into the film world, and while retelling these specific events from his own personal standpoint is not a cardinal sin the unoriginality with which it is filmed is.

    Having viewed the initial five minute opening segment of "L'instinct de mort" you can be forgiven for expecting something more slick, stylish and, frankly, French than what is presented. Those opening moments hook the viewer instantly as, what we assume to be, Mesrine and a female accomplice cautiously and carefully try and escape from the police in what is an almost Rififi-esquire moment of cinema. No words are spoken, yet a cool bass line pulses in the background as the screen is broken down into boxes which show the two individuals attempting their escape from three different angles, each running a couple of seconds out of sync with the other. It is an engrossing opening, which is sadly never followed upon throughout the following duration of the film. Why this is not done is puzzling, because it is quite clearly the most original and stylish aspect of the film. Yes there are dens, mansions and parties that provide for shady, smokey, under lighted set pieces that provide atmosphere, and at the very least a setting, but there is nothing that quite grabs you again. The compositions and angles from a directorial standpoint renege any sense of individualism becoming, in the process, much more generic as the film progresses. Jean- Francois Richet must stand accused of allowing "L'instinct de mort" to disintegrate from crisp and unique to widescreen and Hollywood.

    It's difficult to completely write the film off as it manages to tell an interesting story of a man that few in this country will have heard anything about, in a way that is familiar to the westernised audiences yet carrying a hallmark of being slightly different, if not entirely left field. The advent of the gangster film en mass, however, has somewhat deadened the impact this film could otherwise have possessed as they have all in their own ways seemingly taken any originality out of, what is otherwise, a nigh on implausible unbelievable story, only held together by the simple fact that it all occurred. Richet has undertaken a brave and bold project which has been met with generally positive reviews, and rightly so, it is just a desire of the viewer to experience more than a director simply opening a book and retelling the words from within. While "L'instinct de mort" is undoubtedly an enjoyable experience, the slight feeling of disappointment would have been lessened had the director perhaps shown more faith in his film making, been a bit more brave, a bit more stylish, a bit more brutal and shown the "killer instinct" needed to make a classic.

  • User's comment:THE horror film of the summer and one of the best of the year by wayne5891

    Hi all, wanted to come to tell you to start the word now and tell everyone to go see THE LAST EXORCISM. It is the scariest movie of the year and one of the best this year out of a sea of mediocrity.

    First off, the trailer does not sell the film in total and I will not spoil what is best left to be experienced in the theater. It's much better then the trailer would lead you to believe. It's funny and chilling at the same time. Director Daniel Stamm should be commended for doing a stand up job with the material, he has a great sense of pacing and when to give you just enough. The film is 90 min and it's perfect, no fat on the movie.

    The writers Huck Botko and Andrew Gurland should be commended for writing a smart, scary film. It portrays both sides of those who believe & don't in the demonic world. So, whether you believe or not, everyone can enjoy it.

    Now, I had issues with it at first being PG-13 but when you see it, it doesn't matter. It's HARD PG-13 like "The Dark Knight." It really didn't feel like it missed anything with that rating.

    The actors should all be commended. The key to the film is the lead character Cotton Marcus played by Patrick Fabian who nails his part. He's charming, funny and all around a great complex character. But, make no mistake the girl Ashley Bell is just a notch below. She has these fragile, child like eyes, almost a haunted quality about her that she can then turn to something much more darker & less innocent in a second.

    Celeb Jones, Louis Herthum were also really good in their parts. Secondary characters were well cast.

    As you can tell I was quite taken aback by how effective the film is. It's smart, scary, funny, unique. You will have a good time with a packed audience but the film leaves you with thoughts to digest long after it's done.

    I'm not one to be effected by a horror movie, frankly most are a joke but by the end I had hands over mouth. There were moments where CHILLS ran up and down my spine. If it can effect me like that, I can't imagine what your reaction might be.

    The ending is what took the film up a whole other notch. Must see.

    Congratulations cast/crew & producers Eli Roth and Marc Abraham. You have discovered a gem of a movie. Folks in a summer of disappointment, get in line now for THE LAST EXORCISM.

    9/10

  • User's comment:Modern day Scarlett Letter as gossip gets out of hand at Ojai High School. by Brad

    June 2 2010 - saw advanced preview of "Easy A" tonight. Emma Stone plays sarcasm great in this one, and supporting cast works well with her. Emma also narrates heavily throughout, and though not rolling on the floor funny, this has the feel of a John Hughes film (even makes reference to him in a longing way). Thomas Haden Church is funny as the only teacher we really meet, and Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson are well cast as the understanding and 60's hippy mentality parents. The crowd I saw it with laughed frequently, and there are a lot of "I've been there" or "I've seen that" moments that you can relate to from your own high school. The writing is a little bit above the age - that is to say, you'd be surprised to hear the advanced dialog coming from today's teenagers, but this movie worked for me and those with me. Makes for a fun night at the movies. Scheduled for release Sept 17 2010.
