Review: "Devil"(2010)-December 10, 2010

"Scared, just to walk to the computer to write a review." Now I admire Bob Chipman and his reviews on the Escapist, but on two accounts I disagree with him. The first two Resident Evil movies were Good and relevant, and "Devil" doesn't suck. The movie is terrifying. It might be appropriate to say it will scare the H out of you. If you want to be scared, then watch this movie. It is clever, even if you see some parts coming it will be good. Watch it, it is Scary. The tension will creep you out, then after wards, watch some "VeggieTales"!

Review: "Ingloriuos Bastards"(2009)-December 8-10, 2010

The thing I disliked the most about the movie was how it was promoted. The promotions for it are extremely far from what the movie actually is. The movie shouldn't even be called "Inglorious Bastards" but rather "Cinema", which is more relevant to the plot. The 'bastards' hardly have half the screen time, also Brad Pitt is not the star of this movie but just an actor in it. The movie however was Great. Sort of an action drama about World War II that has no actual scenes of battle other than a room full of guys shooting/not on the battlefield. The movie is divided into chapters which can cause the tendency to pause at each chapters conclusion, especially since the movie can feel long being near two and a half hours in length. It was good to have sparsity of the scenes with characters to make the story not about one of the groups but a collection of them all. There are many scenes of prolonged tension and little of shooting and explosions that combined give the movie its unique feel. The brutal violence though little is quite strong. The movie does weigh heavily on subtitles for German and French speaking parts. The movie has a great story and plot although it can get depressing. Nevertheless, Because of the way the film was made, "Inglorious Bastards" is a good movie.(despite the fact I didn't like it)
