A Siren in the Dark (2009)
A diamond in the rough....
Occasionally a movie comes along that completely blows me away and reminds me to never judge a book by its cover. That happened to me twice this week, and this is one of those movies. Don't get me wrong, this movie is definitely a diamond in the rough
.really rough. The cast at best is amateurish, the editor seems to be smoking crack on several occasions, and there are plot holes so big you could drive a hummer limo through them. But take a moment to look beyond these flaws and what you are left with is a fascinating and complex story that has more unexpected- ed twists than the court documents from David and Liza's divorce papers. I've been trying all week to explain to my friends why this movie is so good and the best I've come up with is imagine if David Lynch and Christopher Nolan decided to make a big gay murder mystery. A troubled cop gets a late call that may shed some light on a recent missing person case he's been working on. But when the young man and woman start to talk, their story may be more than the cop can handle. Orion Cross plays the mysterious Joshua and it's almost difficult to see his devil- ish turn because of his overwhelming good looks. Todd Tetreault, who plays Officer Cameron Ibanez, looks like a mix of Brad Pitt and Guy Pearce and has one of the most beautiful asses I have ever seen. And his big naked moment is tame compared to the mountains of flesh on display; cut, uncut, bears, boobs – there's truly something for everyone. And the sex scenes are so realistic it would make Queer as Folk fans blush. Co directed by Laura Reilly and Steven Vasquez. If you like light erotic drama, you'll definitely get a kick out of A Siren in the Dark.
Star Trek (2009)
Beyond expectatons
Abrams takes the audience to a new dimension of a classic Sci-Fi TV show. Abram's vision is exciting, thrilling and as fast paced as can be. The set design is great, the cast are likable, the sound effects are believable and the special effects are brilliant. Zachary Quinto fits the bill as Mr Spock, Chris Pine is refreshing as Kirk and Simon Pegg is funny as Scotty. The other cast are also very good like Karl Urban as 'Bones' McCoy. Eric Bana is surprisingly good as the baddie, Nero. Defiantly the best blockbuster in years. So good that creator Gene Roddenberry would be proud. A great reboot with fresh faces and a familiar one, this new entry to the Star Trek franchise will live long and prosper.
