Hunger Games

Hunger Games

Went to see the Hunger Games movie over the weekend, Mostly because of me previously reading the book and finding it an interesting history.

And the movie version is quite good
Maybe just a little rushed on parts (and thats even when it is a 2hour long movie)

Totally recommend you go see it. Just a warning if moving camera films make you dizzy, expect quite a number of them

A decent remake

Went to see the "Planet of the apes Revolution" movie, and found it entertaining. A good improvement over the terrible remake by Burton.

Super 8, two sides of one movie

Went to see the Super 8 movie, to me it was both a good movie and a bad movie.

On one side the good movie, the tale about the kids filming the movie, and the little histories that appear among them, that kind of remind me of the Stand by Me movie.

On the other side, a extremely bad movie, the non-mysterious, non-conflictive, non-thrilling alien part.

Depends on what you go to see, if you want to see a sci-fi thriller expect a total garbage, if you go to see a kids growing movie then its a good one.

Let me in

Let me in


Over the weekend saw the "let me in" movie, the amerikan remake of a swedish movie. I haven't seen the original one so I cant compare, but somehow thats good, since I can see the movie by itsef.

The movie goes about a boy called Owen that live in an apartment place and is bullyied by his schoolmates. Two new people come to live at the apartments and soon one night Owen meets the new girl Abby. As time goes Abby and Owen become friends. Problem is Abby is a vampire.
During those days, Abby's "father" is seen around town murdering people to get blood, and an Inspector trying to solve the murders.
Both side of the story come to a meeting point where both Owen and Abby must take a decision on what to do, and what about eachother.

The movie is good, it was an interesting new point of view of the vampire myth, and a nice way of puting the contrast beetwen the evil aura that a vampire supposedly has, and the cuteness of children.
80% of the movie is Abby and Owen, and both kid actors give a good performance in playing them.
Other good thing about the movie is the settings and images, those really make you feel the tension, loneliness and isolation.
A great scene also at the burning at the hospital.

A good movie to see.

Movie: El dia de la Bestia

The movie wednesday are back, well other wednesdays either I wrote about my experiences, or was too busy, or simply didn't want to write.
Today I am going to talk about another horror movie, that I really like, its a Spanish horror movie, called "El dia de la bestia" (Day of the beast in English), directed by someone named Alex de la Iglesia.
More than a movie to die of horror, is a movie to die of laughter, its really suer funny.
Ok, but before I continue my post, as usual, if you haven't seen it, well go see it, then maybe come back read my silly comments.

Well the movie is about a priest, that apparently has solved the code, and found out when the Anti-christ is going to be born. A little problem, doesn't know were, except that for some reason he is sure it's going to be in Madrid.
So to find the location, he thinks of this plan, of contating the Devil and ask, and to cheat him to beleive him, he tries to be a bad person.
Its super funny to see his ideas of the bad things he does to be evil, one includes listen heavy-metal, thats when he meets Jose MAria, a record sale owner.
He is even funnier than the priest, all the movie he goes doing all kind of silly-funny stuff, in a rocker style. Really makes you laugh so hard.
Later, they see a psiquic man on tv, and they decide he might be able to help with talking to the devil, and then the things go al wacko, kidnapping, murder attempts, running away fro cops, all kind of silly crazy signals about the devil.
The end, well its crazy too.

For today I say goodbye
