The Collector (2009)
If Jigsaw and Jason had a son.
I went into this movie not really expecting much. I checked the parents guide on IMDb to see if it would be a gory film. From what i read, i thought i would be using my imagination most of the time. I was wrong. I should mention that i didn't know The Collector was made by the writers of some of the SAW movies either.. That would've told me all i needed to know about the gore factor. I was lucky enough to be able to fast forward some of the gore scenes. (not a fan of gore or torture)
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. The first 20min of the movie are a little slow but it picks up very quickly and without notice. Yes, it's easy to see the SAW relation but this movie is able to stand on it's own.
If you read the synopsis then you know what this movie is about. There's not much else to the story, just a matter of watching it play out. The only thing i predicted in the movie was the end but i didn't know how they were going to get there. This movie is suspenseful and changing every 5min. You don't know who's going to die, and when you think you do, you're probably going to be wrong.
My rating would have been higher if they had left out some of the torture and gore.
The Fourth Kind (2009)
Is this story fake? YES.
...but who cares! I just finished watching most of the movie. I turned it off because i just can't handle it anymore. I'm home alone, it's dark and around midnight and i'm starting to freak out. I'm looking over my shoulder and checking the bedrooms. lol...i know, a little extreme but this is the way The Fourth Kind will make you feel. (I'll watch the rest tomorrow.) I don't believe the "original" documentation in this movie is real but it definitely helps to keep you on the edge of your seat.
To fight something you can't see, hear, touch, REMEMBER, or even prove exists gives "helpless" a new meaning. Unfortunately, i just can't bare the feeling anymore tonight.
This is one of the scariest movies i've ever seen and i'm not talking about horror movies with blood, guts and dismemberment. I'm talking about feeling more than being grossed out by killers with sharp objects.
The Road (2009)
I couldn't wait for it to end!!!!!!!
I read so many great reviews about this movie that i thought i would give it a try. I even read a review for The Book Of Eli that stated The Road was a much better apocalyptic movie. I already think Denzel's movie is better and i haven't seen it yet.
Now about the movie...sigh...where to start. There are just too many questions left unanswered and too many situations that don't make any sense. Why are all the animals dead? No one thought to keep some alive to farm? Why did the planet die? The movie sets you up to think it happened overnight but you have to guess why. BTW, you get to guess their names too. No one has a name in this movie, or they do but you don't get to know what they are. The characters are less believable than Jim Carrey in Dumb and Dumber. I can go but you get the point.
I watch a lot of movies from all around the world. From big Hollywood block busters to independent, little to no budget films but this is one of the worst i've ever seen.
Don't wait for the DVD, wait for late night cable when there's nothing else on so you can fall asleep to it.
Outlaw (2007)
A good movie, and no, it's not like the Boondock Saints!!!!
The main reason I'm commenting on this movie, is because before I even considered watching it, I read the comments on IMDb. Now I remember a couple of the comments comparing this movie to the Boondock Saints, and not in a good way.
After watching this movie, I now know, it is nothing like the Boondock Saints. Not even close. The style and mood of these two movies are completely different.
As for the movie. I enjoyed it. They establish the characters early on and you begin to care about what happens to them, and bad things do happen to them. This is where the characters take a turn from their normal lives and start fighting back. This "vigilante" movie is more believable than any other I've seen. The characters struggle with what they have set out to do, and at times can't follow through with their plans for justice. Most comments about this movie have dissected it, and over analyzed it. I enjoyed the mood of this movie, it entertained me and gave me an ending i didn't expect.
Wanted (2008)
Now this is Entertainment
I'm not surprised that some of the ratings here are low, but I am surprised by their reasons. One user stated this movie was not an Action/thriller but a comedy/gore movie. Are you kidding me? I think this user must have been living under a rock for the last few years. I've seen more gore in an episode of CSI than in this entire movie. Anyway. I'm giving Wanted 10 stars. This was too much fun. The movie is a little predictable, but who cares. The action is over the top and fantasy like, (this was done on purpose), and in the middle of an action scene I found myself laughing at a "one liner". I have never been a fan on Angelina Jolie, but she does provide some of the comic relief which made her fun to watch. I have been a fan of James McAvoy for years, (the real reason I wanted to see this movie). Now his character is a cliché, but again, who cares. You laugh at him for the first half of the movie, and hope you're not much like him. As you probably know, this is not a "straight to the Oscars" type of movie. It will make you say "wow" followed by a good laugh. When it was over, the entire theater applauded, and I can bet a lot of those people will go back to see it again. I'm one of them.
