Blog No. 2

welcome to blog #2 here i will review a more recent movie:

Blog #2: Cloverfield

So in the category of movies with a slow beginning cloverfield takes the trophy and has the other movies clean it. Wow i found myself waiting for the aliens to attack them all for making me wait. They did a great job on the special effects which would have been more impressive if you could have seen them. But due to the video camera effect it became hard to follow at some points, while at other times it drew you in such as the scene in the subway when the main charecters first encounter the nasty litle bogeys. A bit overdone with the girls head exploding after they were in the quarintine zone. It was a well selected cast for a movie that wasn't put together too well. If you buy the DVD you are better off not watching the alternate endings except that in one of them you see a snippet that shows the main charecter pick up the camera, other than that the ending is the same besides the useless snipet of the tape they recorded this adventure over. The monster is pretty impressive once you finally see him though no one would have really stood still like the camera man did.

My Verdict on Cloverfield: Fail

Blog No.1

Hello! I'm kenny welcome to my movie/music blog. Here i will give my rating on movies/music from every era, genre, etc... So i hope u enjoy

Topic No. 1: the 300

A film that essentially made you puff out your chest as you walked out of the theatre. I found myself yelling out like crazy for about half the movie from the pure adreniline that the movie brings about. The sweeping camera views combined with Tyler Bates' Compositions make the fight sequences all the more eye catching. the frantic camera work combines perfectly with transitions into bullet time for the coolest of the scenes. On the down side: The nude scenes such as throwing in Gerard Butlers Butt and the sex scene shortly after (not to mention the scene in Xerxe's tent with the humpback) . but the pennultimate sequence of leonidas before the vast legions of the persian empire takes all, as he falls to his knees among his fellow Spartan soldiers all dead for him and for a free world.

So Overall Verdict: Pass
