Frozen (I) (2010)
7/10
give this film a break!
26 October 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I will say that i didn't think this was the best movie in the world, because there are better ones, but REALLY!!

I read other peoples reviews on this movie and everyone is nit picking on what these three people should have done and what wasn't realistic.

I found this movie quite harrowing and it stuck with me until much later after watching it. The idea of losing the person i loved, the feeling of being so alone and stranded, not knowing if i would live. I even thought about the frost bite, and i imagined being rescued and worrying if i was going to lose any limbs.

I thought the director was clever with this movie. I don't care whether the cable would really be sharp or if the whole thing was against wolves nature. I would have used my hands and feet to traverse the cable, but the fact that Joe didn't, didn't make this movie stupid, in fact i would have used the cable before even thinking about jumping from that height, but who really knows what you would do in that situation.

Movie is well made, worth watching, better than open water as i found that extremely boring.

Knowing (2009)
7/10
bit slow in parts
10 January 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I did actually like this film because I hadn't seen anything like it before. I've said this may contain a spoiler because I'm unsure whether people know if it's one of those films that have a save the world ending, so if you don't know read no more.

What I liked about this film was that nobody prevented the catastrophe from happening, it sounds awful but I've always wanted to see a film that actually showed the end of the world, I have seen another one since KNOWING which was 2012. So for this reason I enjoyed it, but there were a lot of really slow parts in the film, which didn't particularly bother me, but I believed were unnecessary, such as the classroom scene, but it wasn't a big deal.

I did think the ending was rather cheesy with the kids running in the meadow, I would have been happy with just seeing them leave in the ships but overall a good film, especially the special effects.

Orphan (2009)
9/10
great movie!
6 January 2010
I am yet to watch a horror that really scares me, but then I don't scare easy. I really enjoyed this movie, it had a lot of depth, I know that I feared for the life of a lot of characters. I expected a spooky psycho kid who killed people, but it was much more than that, there were twists and turns in the plot, which kept me thinking, I would never have guessed the ending it was a complete surprise, which is a rare thing as far as movies are concerned. I would definitely recommend this film to horror fans. The only down point was that I believed some parts could be quite controversial and rather disturbing, although it's things like that which can make a good horror movie great.

2012 (I) (2009)
7/10
It's not as awful as people say it is
6 January 2010
I've read so many comments from other people saying how bad this movie was, all I can say is these people are extremely difficult to please. I believed that 2012 was entertaining, fun and excellent special effects. Granted, there were too many unrealistic close calls for the stars of the movie, but you see this in all action/disaster movies. I thought the acting was good, a very good cast, it wasn't a truly emotional film to watch, but hey, who needs it when there's so much action going on. Good movie in my opinion, I would recommend it, if you're after entertainment, but don't watch it if you want to be educated about Mayan prophecies or geology, you'd be better off watching a documentary (that's what they're there for).

9/10
great horror film
8 October 2009
I am commenting as someone who has never seen the original, so I am very unbiased, although after reading other comments I'm quite interested in watching the original.

I thought it was a great horror film, it was gory and disturbing, especially the rape scene, I found myself looking away on that part; Which is something I never do, it's probably the first horror film that I've ever had to look away from but I am yet to watch a horror that will actually scare me, it wasn't a scary film for me but a brutal, disturbing film, but still very good.

The ending was the best part, revenge is sweet.

Twilight (I) (2008)
5/10
the book was great, the movie okay
8 October 2009
I am a huge fan of the twilight saga books and I was looking forward to see the film. I was disappointed, especially with Kristen Stewart's acting, she was so dull and boring, she had no personality at all, in the books she had quite a dry sense of humour but in the movie she was more like a zombie, I expected so much more from the leading actress. I thought all the other characters were good and were close to how I imagined they would be.

I think too many things were missed out of the movie, you couldn't see how besotted they were with each other, in the book they couldn't be apart because it would hurt too much, but you couldn't see this in the movie, they looked like regular everyday dating teenagers, when they were supposed to be so much more.

The movie was okay but it had the potential to be brilliant and it wasn't. It was a film that I would have loved to direct myself (and I know nothing about directing)and would have probably done better.

The Unborn (2009)
6/10
not that bad
8 October 2009
I've read a lot of comments on this movie, I didn't think it was all bad. I have seen better horror movies, but this certainly wasn't the worst, someone said, that it was unoriginal, but I thought that the plot was quite original, I don't recall seeing anything similar before, but then, that's my opinion. I thought Odette Yustman was a fair leading actress as Casey and I thought her best friend Romey was quite entertaining. I have this film downloaded onto my computer, I probably would not have paid to see it at the cinema, but it's a good freebie, I've watched it several times and still find it fun to watch. I think it is worth watching.

Rogue (2007)
9/10
I love films like this and I wasn't disappointed
8 October 2009
Warning: Spoilers
I am a huge fan of horror films and films that involve ferocious animals, I've seen jaws, lake placid, deep blue sea and many more, this film will be added amongst my favourites, I would have given it ten out of ten if it weren't for one detail, I am about to write a spoiler about one of the characters. I have no problem with these monsters killing people, the body count can be as high as you like, it bothers me not, but in this film they killed off the adorable dog and showed the crocodile eating it in detail, I would have preferred it if another tourist was killed, my message to film makers, is leave the innocent animals alone, they should be the heroes in movies like this. Otherwise it was a great film.

2012: Doomsday (2008 Video)
1/10
absolute waste of my computers memory
8 October 2009
I actually downloaded this movie thinking it was something else, so I had high expectations, when I realised it was the wrong movie, I was pleased, because this movie was awful, I planned to download a movie called 2012 which looks really good. The religion aspect of this movie was ridiculous, the actors couldn't act and it had an awful plot, it wasn't even good enough for a TV afternoon movie. I don't think there was anything good to say about it accept that I was glad that it finished, this will be the first movie that I've downloaded that i'm going to erase from my computers memory, it's a shame that my head can't do the same. DO NOT WATCH.
