Mini-review: Twilight

Steve McGrath — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:20:55 +0000

I saw Twilight this afternoon. There was about 50-75 persons for the English version. It was a week day and did not expect that much. Now, I was expecting an action vampire movie based on the trailer. I on knew it was based on a series of books(2 future movies). Boy! What a surprise when I saw 90% of teenage girls/womens. I think most girls had ditched school this afternoon. What did I get myself into????

What is Twilight ?

A teenage girl(17) discovers vampires at her high school.

The review

Twilight is 2h01 with almost 15 minutes of previews, again. My dream of an action vampire movie were crushed from the start. The story was mostly about the love between the 2 principal characters(Bella, Edward). The action part was mostly at the end(last 20 minutes). The effects were okay. I did laugh a few time but mostly heard the girls giggled around me. Yes, it's a chick flick.

Verdict: Twilight is a movie for teenage girls. If you go for the action, you will be very, very disappointed so don't expect an Underworld but with teenagers. At least, I know my nieces will like that movie.

P.S. The previews had more action than the movie. Just kidding.

Mini-review: Doomsday Unrated (Blu-Ray)

Steve McGrath — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 20:16:39 +0000

Doomsday is an sci-fi movie that I did not have a chance to see at the theater in English.

What is Doomsday?

Set in the future, a team is sent to retrieve a cure to a virus that resurfaced into a now walled Scotland.

The movie review

Doomsday is not the most inventive movie I have seen. In fact, it takes many elements from Escape from New-York to Mad Max. Yet, it's the kind of movie that I know will have a lot of action in it.

The main character was played Rhona Mitra. At first, I thought she was Kate Beckinsale. In fact, Rhona will be in Underworld 3. I wonder why?

Doomsday was encoded in VC1 and last 1h53. This Blu-Ray release has: 1 commentary and U-Control(text encyclopedia about many aspect of the story).

Cast: Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, Alexander Siddig, Caryn Peterson, Malcolm McDowell

The trailer

Trailer: 2m28s

Conclusion

Doomsday is a rent. Since it has barely extras, you better buy it when it drop more in price. At the time of this review, buying it for $27 is way too much money for it.

Mini-review: Quantum Of Solace

Steve McGrath — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 22:19:15 +0000

I saw Quantum Of Solace this afternoon. There was about 150-200 persons for the English version. It was cloudy and a week day but did not expect that much even if it's the big movie of the week. Last night, I heard a negative review on a major TV channel here. This put some doubt in my mind. While on the road to see Quantum Of Solace, the guy on the radio told that most critics on the web liked it. So, how was it?

What is Quantum Of Solace?

James Bond investigate a secret organization with ties everywhere in the world.

The review

Quantum Of Solace is 1h46 with almost 15 minutes of previews. It's the logical continuation of Casino Royale. The special effect(i.e. explosions, chases) were all great and I give them that. It had a few smiles but nothing to laugh out loud. But in the end, the story was missing that little "Bond" thing.

Near the end, there is a big scene but I won't spoiled it for you. For me, it was illogical to be in that geographic location. For me, it broke more the movie. You will understand when you see it.

Btw, Casino Royale was not fresh in my mind thus I felt that I missed some things. You may want to watch it again if you are like me.

Verdict: Quantum Of Solace is an okay action movie but won't win any Oscars for the story line. If you go for the action, you won't be disappointed. But don't expect a second Casino Royale.

While driving home, I heard an ad on the radio said: "The best Bond ever". I don't think so. I paid less since it's the afternoon but I would not recommend you pay the full price to see it at night.
