Terminator Salvation…?

I have never been a fan of the whole Terminator series even when i was a kid. I just was not attracted to Arnold Schwarzenegger’s acting in those movies. Even the whole plot of the series did not catch my attention what so ever. Now that this whole new Terminator is coming out, i am pretty excited especially since Christian Bale is in it and the CGI just looks amazing. However, after looking at sites such as ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ i really do not know what to expect from this film since it got a lot of poor reviews. I also asked my peers and they gave me the same feed back, “it was not that great”. So much for the hype…

Angels & Demons

The recent film of Angels & Demons directed by Ron Howard is based on the novel by Dan Brown. The movie is about a Harvard symbologist who helps the Vatican work agaisnt the upcoming terrotist attack by the Illuminati, an enemy of the church. In my opinion, I believe that this movie was great, it was definitely better than the first film “The Da Vinci Code”. I believe this film would spark a lot of public opinion, especially towards the church, this is why the film has been banned in a lot of places but lucky has been showing in the cinemas here. I highly reccommend this film for anyone out there.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Just a few weeks ago I watched the movie X-Men origins. The movie was just mediocre with odd graphics. However, one thing that caught my attention was the opening sequence of the movie. I would post the sequence however I fail to find it online. The opening sequence shows how Wolverine progresses through the present time. It starts of during the 1900 showing how he was involved with the american independence, WW1 and WWII. The shots are failry black and white with little color and show a bit of slow motion during most of the action shots. I believe this was a great way to shoot an opening scene for a movie, especially this one.

Re-Engineering a shot

For Echo, Joaquin and I wanted to shoot a shot just like when the Comedian’s bright red blood falls onto his trademark yellow happy-face pin in the Watchmen scene if you have seen it. But we come to a conclusion that it was impossible to do thanks for clarifying Mr. Oomens. But this is definitely a shot we would like to do in the future.  

In Bruges

In Bruges, directed by Martin Macdonagh is about two hitmen hiding out in the Belgian city of Bruges, and amidst the city’s storybook background they come to terms with issues of guilt, morality, and redemption. In my opinion this movie was outstanding. However, some people fail to realize the beauty of this film. The one thing I enjoyed most about this film was the story line. The plot just stood out from any other and a hint of comedy was just great. The actors involved with it were Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes. I would definitely recommend this film to everyone.
