Giallo (2009)
Quasimodo moved to Italy
WOW, this shriek fest topper turned into a laughing matter after the first sighting of the baddie monster. The lead psycho in this movie uses a cab to kidnap the victims and as it always goes kidnaps but not kills a family member of the lead role. In this case the persistent sister.
Sister teams up with weird 'i work alone' police officer Adrian 'the pianist' Brody. A slim non-impressive officer acting like Mulder from the x-files. Weirdly enough the officer is a killer himself. He killed the butcher-killer of his wife at a young age. Its unclear how he could become part of the police force. That his officer skills are bad we can see in his pursuit of the killer in the hospital, after he spots the -LIMBing- killer he starts he lame pursuit and looses him.
But OK, when finally on track with the where abouts of mister psycho clay face he trows the garbage of the roof and leaves the persistent sister to find the family herself. Movie ends with a parking guard detecting a bleeding car. victim sister did the escape all by herself. Huray for this finger-missing victim.
Well this movie was 1 thumb up and a cut off finger down. Dario please leave the future presentations to you lovely daughter !
Yeong-hwa-neun yeong-hwa-da (2008)
Bad acting stay bad acting even if you are a gangster
This movie in the category Asia-mania was a very long sit. Expected was some good action and at least a good story, since this movie was a chosen 'goodie' for the film festival 2009.
However the movie started how it ended, slow and non progressive. In short the story line: Famous actor meet gangster and is captured by the coolness and expected rudeness of the gangster (mafia style??) Actor invites gangster to join his movie and make it a hit.
The result of this was that the movie was about shooting a movie (almost like a documentary); the action scenes did not improve and the movie in my idea did not became better; The social inter-act-meant between the characters also stayed the same. After the in-movie-movie is finished the gangster returns to his line of business and helps another gangster boss carry a purchased art-item. The continuous bashing in this scene raised the vote from a 4 score to a 5 score;
It was a long wait (113 minutes) for just this cool scene
Star Trek (2009)
one of the better science fiction sequels
Initially i expected a dull sequel or prequel as they call it nowadays, but i was surprised by a good movie. After a quick spectacular encounter with the alien baddies Jim (captain Kirk) was born. The story then continued when he became part of the enterprise.
I must say the graphical effects where pretty good and after the first hour the viewer really came into the beginning of star trek as we all know it; captain kirk, Spock , Ahoura, beam me up Scottie, and Dr Maccoy.
The first mission had actually some cool fighting scenes but sadly no weaponry as the first star trek movie. This could have been better.
Overall a good quality movie which is very entertaining for 2 hours.
best sequel 10 ever
The Unknown (2005)
Horror has a new name....bad makeup yeti
This movie has really nothing original in. Its harry meet the hendersons gone bad. Miles o keef as the big hunter bad guy, spends more time to boss his mates around instead of going after the bad make-up beast
Parrallel to this hunter story there is a teen camp out movie. Here 4 students explore the big bad forest. Harry the hairy bigfoot meets them about 3 times without doing anything. Also the bigfoot nicely poses for the video8 camcorder.
While writing this review the movie suddenly ended. No bigfoot was killed no animals hurt. even the Indian escaped with no meaning to the movie
As sadly this may be without any bloody killing, this cannot be classed as horror.
My final comment: Waste of time
