Kicking it up a notch, Angelina Jolie takes on the role of Salt a hard-hitting heart-pounding thriller about espionage on American soil. The film takes off running and never stops even at the very end. It’s an energy boost for action lovers and I for one loved it.
Turn your thinking brain on, grab hold of the arm rests and focus on the screen, that’s my best advice when you go to see Inception, an incredible thriller of a movie. Filled with awesome CGI, fine acting by a notable cast, rigorous direction by The Dark Knight’s Christopher Nolan and a storyline that outshines The Matrix. Inception is for those who like suspense mixed with amazing action.
The fifth Predator film has come to town and this one goes all out to please the action junkie. Predators slides in at second best of the series just below the original. The actors, direction and cinematography are all in sync and the simple storyline does entertain. If you are looking to see copious amounts of gratuitous violence then search out the movie Predators, it’s a non-stop blood bath.
I had been anticipating the release of The Wolfman as I am a big horror film fan, especially those that contain lot of action. The trailer teased my expectation with scenes showing strong suspense and blood curdling attacks. Well, I wasn’t disappointed with the production and the special effects. If you are a fan of shock, dread and terror, than this thriller is one in which you can sink your teeth.
There haven’t been a lot of good crime drama’s that come up to par with The Departed, but some are still entertaining and worth the watch. Take the case of Edge of Darkness with a movie script that’s suspenseful, gripping and well acted. I liked the film and if you are looking for some thrills Edge of Darkness provides many.
I love most science fiction movies and especially those with all kinds of special effects, explosions, realistic fighting and a good storyline. Although Legion has most of these elements, the movie dragged a bit with the extensive dialogue and an unnecessary amount of character buildup.
Believe it or not, The Fourth Kind, a true story is more freaky than Paranormal. Director Osunsanni takes true video footage of an incident that took place in Alaska, couples it with some good acting by Jovovich, Patton and Koteas to create a gripping tale that’s creepy. If you like science fiction that challenges your mind then this film should fill the void.
Well, bad news here, The Box is slow moving, poorly directed and therefore has weak performances. The trailer which seems to promise a science fiction thriller ends up to be an enticement to a storyline that looses its credibility early on in the film. I wish I could give you a saving grace point that would help The Box as I really wanted it to be a great watch, but sci-fi lovers will probably have to wait for 2012.
I have always been a big fan of the Final Destination movies and now seeing the latest release in 3D I’m even more impressed. In 3D everything in The Final Destination is tripled; the horror, suspense, gore, terror and panic. Whether you are a shock freak or just a lover of horror fiction this film should knock your socks off.
The film Orphan is fun to watch, but not convincing enough making it a run-of-the mill horror flick. The evil storyline is interesting and somewhat surprising with makes it fun to watch. The twists and turns come late in the film so one needs to pay attention so you can say, Oh I new that was going to happen.
