P.S. I Love You (2007)
My Review
I've generally read that people don't like/don't care for the movie and I can see why.
I've marked this the Spoiler warning, so you are warned. I would like to state that the movie is enjoyable as is, I tend to think that people take movies to seriously and think that every movie has to blow them away. . Which is always a leading factor as to why a good movie can fail. . some movies weren't meant to blow your mind, or be the best movie of all time, some movies just want to set out and be a nice 2 or so hours where you don't have to worry about stress and other life complications.
The movie was enjoyable, the acting was. . passable. Gina and Lisa do well with what little they are given, JDM was charming. I found Swanks character to be selfish, and didn't care for her at times. . its hard to feel sympathy for a character when she doesn't feel joy when her friend declares shes pregnant, or getting married, yes her husband died, its okay to feel sad that hes gone and you'll never have a baby with him but be a friend and at least smile at the news.
The movie felt way to long, the movie could of done without the sometimes lengthy flashbacks, Connicks character could of been removed entirely, and the sister could of been easily removed to. .neither of these characters did much besides add extra, unnecessary time to the movie.
I would of gotten to the plot a bit sooner, we don't need to see Swank being sad for half an hour before the plot of the movie is revealed.
If the movie was just shorter it would be better, if Swanks character was just a bit more sympathetic the movie would of been better.
Do not go into this movie expecting a masterpiece, to believe this will be the best movie ever, go into the movie expecting to watch a movie, to smile at some parts, to be sad in others. Besides the over long scenes the movie isn't bad.
Underworld: Evolution (2006)
An Honest Review
First off I have to say that the first Underworld has to be among my top 3 movies ever.
This one, however isn't. Don't get me wrong, this is a good movie, it just doesn't have the same great vibes and story like the first one.
Things I loved about the film is that it really is a good continuation from the first, and the fact that its a continuation of a film I love just makes it worth while.
Things I had problems with though is that they changed the look, slightly, of the Lycans. In the first one it was actual people walking around in suits, and it looked great. . In this one, they totally look computer animated, they moved different, they seemed more flexible, the way they morphed looked different as well. . they were also much faster, and slightly smaller.
I also had a problem with how they changed the action. In the first one, if someone got hit, they would have a more natural look. . In this one, if someone gets hit, they fly 10 feet in the air and crash through walls. . it all seemed to 'Matrix' and less 'Underworld.'
Things just looked exaggerated, (SPOILERS) Like when a character is decapitated his head rather explodes and blood and guts fly everywhere, whereas in the first one, it simply fell off.
If you can get over the few changes in the look and feel of the film, and if you are a fan of the first, this is a great movie. .
Just do not go into this film expecting Underworld 1.
Tru Calling (2003)
My Favorite Show
Tru Calling is my favorite show, even after its cancellation it still remains a fact.
A young girl by the name of Tru witnesses her mothers murder and at the funeral, she hears her mother's voice telling her it will be alright.
Ten years later, a 22 year old Tru just graduates college and races to the ceremony. She is sad that her father, Richard, sister Merideth and brother Harrison don't show up.
That night she celebrates her graduation at a bar with her best friend Lindsay and we learn she has an internship starting that the hospital.
Her internship falls through and a doctor tells her of a job at the morgue. Tru decides to check it out and eventually takes the job.
Her boss Davis is a shy odd man who eventually goes on to help Tru throughout the show.
Her first night on the job a woman with a gun shot is brought in and eventually opens her eyes and asks for Tru's help. Tru wakes up to find its the same day over again and she sets out to stop the woman from dying.
Tru Calling is a wonderful show and Eliza Dushku is a terrific actress. Tru Calling would not have been the same without her.
As the first season progresses she learns of her sisters drug use, learns that her mother had the same calling. Also Harrison and Davis help her out as best of their abilities, she finds love but also loses it due to her calling, finds out there is someone she knows that also has the calling and then learns the same person is working against her, which sets up for the second season.
In the second season, which was sadly cut short, Tru is now a medical student and has a sworn nemesis, who tries with all their might to stop the person from living. Tru gets new friends and a possible love interest who would of had a huge story arch.
Once again, Tru was a truly great show and did not deserve what it got, a cancellation from FOX.
Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994)
Goes to prove
That only Wes Craven can make a good Nightmare movie. Craven has always been my favorite director and this movie shows why. I loved the first one and the third one was great but the others are just like all the other teen horror films, not really exciting.
I watched this when if first came out and it scared me to death, I was only a kid, now im older and I watch it everytime i see it on a movie channel. It still gives me chills. This is the only horror movie that can scare me.
Almost every one playes themselves, and according to the credits even Freddy Cruger plays himself.
We learn that Wes is writing a script for the new Nigtmare movie, and its about Heather. Freddy is breaking out of the world of movies and into reality. He terrorizes Heather and her son Dylan. Quickly killing off her husband. With terrific hospital scenes, one which includes the death of Dylans babysitter. Dylan escapes the hospital which leads us to a fantastic highway scene which eventually takes us to a fantastic ending. As it turns out Wes was having dreams and they are what we just saw. I loved you I think you will too
