Angels and Demons

Read the book and let your imagination do the work.



As I mentioned in my earlier reviews, I hate movies based on books. They NEVER cease to disappoint me. Why can't film makers spend more time on the details and making the movie as good as the book rather than just simply getting the story told.


Just like a summary, and a really bad one too, the movie skips through scenes in the book like an impatient child that just wants to know the ending. I was so disappointed by the numerous elements which were ommitted from the movie, including a few key characters which helped to build and strengthen the story.

Mysteries which took supposedly two hours to solve, took merely 1 minute to magically appear in Robert Langdon's mind leaving the viewer with no sense of suspense nor even a few minutes to ponder or imagine possibilities.

All in all, I was HUGELY disappointed by this long anticipated movie. Even the trailer was better than the movie. PLEASE, i suggest you read the book and leave the movie for when you are extremely bored and you want to know how badly they have dissected the book.

Overall Rating 1/5

One of the best movies so far this year...


It has been a while since I've seen such an entertaining movie. If you are expecting an action-packed movie, then this delivers it.

I hate when movies spend the majority of the time talking or explaining, leaving only 5-10mins at the end to fit in an action scene which has already been shown on the trailer. This movie does not do this, which is why it kept me entertained throughout. The acting was good, the characters were well played, and the graphics were top-notch. All in all I can't think of what else they could have done better.


I don't know what else to say. Just go watch it.

Overall rating: 5/5

New Moon proposed for November

March 7th 2009 13:34
Two Twilight movies in one year.....exciting yet daunting at the same time.



After being disappointed by "Twilight" earlier this year, I couldn't believe the sequel, "New Moon", would be due for release so soon. The books were good, but not FANTASTIC, not as good as many crazed teenagers would exclaim. So yes, I've read the books, and I know what is going to happen in the sequel, so what are we expecting from the actual movie?

Yes, "Twilight" did great at the box-office, but that is only based on how much money the movie has made and not on how good the movie actually was. Almost everyone I know, has read the books and has told me how disappointing the movie was. So underneath the whole "Twilight craze" and "Edward craze", the producers/directors have been working hard on trying to improve the next movie.

One "supposed" improvement, is the changing of directors, from Catherine Hardwicke to Chris Weitz who's most recent film was "The Golden Compass". To me, this is great news, because I really didn't enjoy "Twilight". Supposedly, the sequel will contain much more action and better fight scenes coupled with better effects, this definitely gets brownie points from me.

There were early rumours that Jacob Black would be changed, but after commotion from fans this idea has been scrapped. I was disappointed to hear this because I always imagined Jacob to be bigger and stronger, and Taylor Lautner just didn't fit this role, I was happy to hear they would replace him. A little teenage boy that looks like Bella's little brother, just doesn't work for me. I know in the book Jacob is supposed to be younger, but Taylor Lautner just looks too young. But who knows, Chris Weitz does great effects, so maybe there might be a pleasant surprise.

For Dakota Fanning fans, you will be happy to hear that she has been officially confirmed to play the role of Jane in "New Moon". I think she will play this role well and am looking forward to seeing her.

Due for release in November, let's hope for a pleasing sequel "The Twilight Saga's: New Moon" (yes, that is the official title...-_-). Then after that "The Twilight Saga's: Eclipse", which Drew Barrymore is rumoured to be in the running to direct.

The Unborn

Not even 10 minutes into the movie, i heard a couple in the back mumbling "is this meant to be a comedy or horror?". This one statement pretty much sums up this movie.

The new generation of movie heroes.

January 26th 2009 10:59
Seems that producers have run out of comics to base their movies on, and have now moved on to live-action movies based on Japanese anime and videogames. With the success of "Transformers", which was based on the popular japanese anime series in 2007, we are to expect a whole new generation of heroes to appear on our screens.

Underworld: Rise of the lycans

January 22nd 2009 14:26
It had all the elements to make a really good movie, including a good story, a good cast and good costumes and setting. But for some reason, it still felt like this third installation of the popular Underworld series was missing something.

Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

I don't think i need to say much for you to already know that this is a good movie. Even watching the trailer gives you a tingle down the spine. No wonder this has been nominated for so many awards
