High Energy (2017)
Nice effort
Decent short film. Very atmospheric. Well-crafted. Relevant topic, but a little on-the-nose perhaps. Not too predictable, but not surprising either. It works.
Resident Evil (2002)
A lust for the eye
I loved this movie, and I'm not afraid to admit it.
First off a little notice: I don't know the games.
The story, like many before will undoubtably have said was pretty much crap, I'm not going to defend it... Doesn't really matter, the story was irrelevant anyway. It's supposed to be a horror-flick, does anybody remember Nightmare, Halloween or Friday, if you can find a story in any of those 'classics' let me know.
What this movie was is a lust for the eye. It looked so incredibly slick. The set decorating, the make-up, the costumes, the whole visual department did such an incredible job, that even though, the story had no content what so ever, the movie was so easy on the eye, that I didn't want to turn it off, because of this.
A lot of people could learn from this. Sure, a story is important, but add a unique visual style, and you have a double jackpot.
That's my 5 cents.
The Matrix Revolutions (2003)
Great End of a Great Series
What can I say, I've always loved the Matrix, even though it was just a bunch of stealing. From Anime and a lot of other movies. It combined great elements of great movies, into something even greater.
I will kind of agree with anyone who says Reloaded was bad. It was less then the others, but still good. Now this movie too, was more action, less talking. But in this movie it was a good thing. The action was just amazing, less computery like the second.
Now about the story... by time of the break I knew how it would end. Is that a bad thing? Yes and no, offcourse it could've been original, but then again the way it ended was the way it was supossed to be.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997)
Greatest series ever
Well at least, it is in my opinion. But when you get sucked into a series like this one, you're bound to say it's the best ever. But still, it is. It's a perfect mix of all elements; comedy, suspense, action, romance ... so for everyone there is something that (s)he likes!
