TMNT (2007)
The TMNT Film I've Been Waiting For My Whole Life!!!
First let me start by saying I am 26 years old and have been a TMNT fan since i was a little kid. I got into the comics after and found the 2003 cartoon a great treat for the true darker origins of TMNT. This movie was the same way. This movie was the way i had envisioned a true Turtles Movie for many years now. It could have been even darker and more violent, but this was still just what i wanted. Being a TMNT fan i may be more picky about what i want from the film, but i found this to be just about perfect!!! From the animation, to the depictions of the characters, all the way to the darker feel of the story and just the whole film, this is the way the Turtles were meant to be on the big screen!!
Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
Lucky # indeed, The world needs more movies like this!
I thought that this movie was absolutely brilliant. I went in just expecting an average action movie, maybe with a bit of humor as well (judging from the trailer). What i got was something completely different. In the best way possible.
The whole movie all the way had me engrossed entirely in the film. There were twists and turns galore. The entire time your watching you think you can predict things that are going to be revealed later. The results are completely different and mezmerizing. At least in my case i got surprise after surprise. Bruce Willis was the show stealer as World Class Assassin Mr. Goodkat. Morgan Freeman and Ben Kingsley were brilliant as always. Not to mention, surprisingly, Josh Hartnett hasn't been this good since i can remember. He was great.
So if your looking for a movie with twists and turns galore, great action sequences, witty dialogue, and is a film you'll have in your mind for weeks to come. All i could think about after watching it is how much i wanted to see it again.
House of the Dead 2 (2005)
Much Better than the First & A Decent Zombie Flick Too!
Lemme first start off by saying that the first House Of The Dead movie was a huge disappointment and a horrible film! This one i believe is a MUCH better film than the first one. One major thing that helped this film over the first one, was the lack of "Matrix-esque" Fight scenes and effects. This movie had NONE of that. Not even one shot as i recall.
The film is about a pair of scientists/zombie killers (i know, weird combo) who team up with a military task force and go to a local college in order to try to find an original zombie (hypersapiens as they call them) that they can take a blood sample from that could help cure the disease.
Pretty much the entire movie is on the campus with them killing zombies. 99.9% of the action is using guns on the zombies, so it was nice to see a sequence at the end with 2 characters warding off the zombies with an ax and a knife for a change.
This film was quite cheesy, but many horror lovers know the difference between good fun b-movie cheesy and just plain horrible and not funny cheesy. This was the tolerable kind of cheesy. I saw that this is premiering on Sci-Fi channel, which will not help it's cause any, as the movie is quite gory (blood, dismemberment's & intestines galore. Not to mention a decent amount of nudity and swearing. It's kind of hard to show all that on TV as we all know.
If you like low budget zombie movies this one is worth checking out! No where near the best, but not the worst either.
