  • The Box (PG-13, 2009)

    - by John2223
    "The Box" is certainly not a movie for everybody. This is hard-core Sci-Fi thriller, mixed with exis...[ read more ]tentialism. It is a film that makes you think. The pace is slow, scary at times and gradually building a mood of mystery. Although confusing in the beginning, there is an explanation to it, like it or like it not. Satisfying to some, adding to the feeling of mystery to others.
    James and Frank were convincing, although Cameron doesn't quite deliver, perhaps not her genre.

  • Michael Jackson's This Is It (PG, 2009)

    - by thmtsang
    'This is it' is amazing. I found it mesmerising. I wanted to get up and dance in the cinema. It is a...[ read more ] movie documenting the rehearsals for Michael's 'This is it' comeback tour. The footage was for Michael's own private collection and for him to review and fine tune the performances. The footage shows an intimate glimpse into the genius at work, the detail, the dedication and craft of the King of Pop. The movie is well done. It gives us an idea of how the concert would have been, the set, the line up, the dancers, etc. It would have been the best concert the world has ever seen. I was only 3 weeks away from seeing him live in London. I was devastated by his death. Though we are lucky it is the digital age, as we can see him living through his music and videos. He is a Legend and will never be forgotten.

If you liked Burn After Reading, this is a close second cousin in humour. Good cast. Bonkers storyline but entertaining.

  • Disney's A Christmas Carol (PG, 2009)

    A Christmas Carol 3D
    Expected: 13 November
    Robert Zemeckis is back, pushing the boundaries...[ read more ] of performance capture that he previously explored in Beowulf. He?s taking on Charles Dickens? classic with Jim Carrey playing Scrooge plus all three ghosts. And if that wasn?t enough, The Dark Knight?s Gary Oldman will play both Bob Cratchit, and his son, Tiny Tim. Yeah, now you?re intrigued.

    Robert Zemeckis, the main pioneer of Motion capture films with films such as The Polar Express,Back To The Future and Beowulf attempts a new version of a story that has been many times before and needless to say it doesn't disappoint. Jim Carrey is a revelation as Scrooge and the three Ghosts but his performance is so good that each has its own personality, Bob Hoskins and Colin Firth are very good as Crachit and Fred. The 3D in the film is stunning and Zemeckis uses to a great degree but it's never a gimmick. It is a faithful adaptation of the story but it's not for young children and several scenes were quite dark and scary which actually added to the film and it's not as heartwarming as previous versions but the happy ending remains. If there is one or criticisms is that some scenes went on a bit too long and some characters were not as well animated and suffered from dead eye.

    Overall, a great Christmas film and it does show the potential of motion capture and if they continue to improve it then it's going a great tool for filmmakers.
    Look out for: Bob Hoskins bringing the fun as jolly employer Fezziwig

  • Paranormal Activity (R, 2009)

    - by her69eyes
    The story behind "Paranormal Activity" is an astonishing one - the film, shot in one week by Israeli...[ read more ]-born filmmaker Oren Peli, first came to horror festivals in 2007. Now, with Paramount utilizing an ingenious release strategy built solely on word-of-mouth, the micro-budgeted phenomenon has raked in over $60 millon.

    The film, like "The Blair Witch Project" or "Cloverfield", utilizes an ultra-realistic "found footage" approach. The limitations of the equipment are certainly noticeable - both the audio and video quality are terrible - but the film's technical inadequacies only add to it's conceit.

    Katie (Katie Featherston), an English major, has been haunted all of her life by a tormenting demon. Now, after revealing this information to her boyfriend Micah (Micah Sloat), his interest peaks to such an extent that he begins to film their bedroom every night. Surely enough, Micah and Katie begin noticing things on the tape that they had slept through - loud crashes, doors swinging open, lights flickering. As Micah begins to antagonize their intruder, it's appearances become increasingly violent.

    The bedroom scenes in the film are enormously effective. Utilizing a stationary camera with a wide angle lens, the audience is forced to study the environment and detect any changes - will a shadow appear on the door? Will the bedsheets ripple? Will the pounding footsteps begin to make their way towards the doorway? The success of "Paranormal Activity" is that it doesn't rely on it's jump scares. We're fully aware of where the demon is in relation to the couple, but the horrific claustrophobia of the bedroom makes for a handful of pitch-perfect suspense sequences.

    Because "Paranormal Activity" has been such a smashing success, both the over-hyping and the backlash has begun. Before you get sick of hearing about it, go and experience it for yourself. Something tells me that the film won't have any success translating to home viewing, but in the theater there's nothing quite like it.

    Though there are some good scares, the pseudo-documentary _b_style just didn't work for me. At all.

  • Disney's A Christmas Carol (PG, 2009)

    - by AgentLexi2132
    ''Humbug!''

    An animated retelling of Charles Dickens classic novel about a Victorian-era ...[ read more ]miser taken on a journey of self-redemption, courtesy of several mysterious Christmas apparitions.

    Jim Carrey: Scrooge

    ''I'm light as a feather!...''

    Disney's A Christmas Carol is a solid adaptation of the Charles Dickens' classic, although lacking sometimes in the emotional connection to humanity; inherent in some of other previous versions of this timeless story.
    The plot of the film obviously comprises of the traditional story of Ebenezer Scrooge, the grouchy old miser whom is in turn visited by the Ghosts of his friend Jacob Marley, Christmas Past, Present, and Things Yet to Come. Thus all spirits proceed in giving him visions of his life and the consequences of proceeding in his greedy, unemotional way. One path being of financial materialistic glory, the redeeming road comprising of selfless acts; kindness and consideration for others less fortunate.
    The legendary role of Scrooge is played by Jim Carrey (where as he also voices the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and other characters). I was a touched with Carrey giving this character life with his voice alone. With this being an animated film, his portrayal is a very faceted performance from Carrey, and were this a live-action adaptation, he would have truly breathed even more life into the main protagonist, with his inane comedic skills.
    Gary Oldman provides his talented voice to Bob Cratchit, Marley, and Tiny Tim. Bob even looks like Oldman albeit a tad shorter and rounder than the master of change.

    A Christmas Carol was directed by Robert Zemeckis, whom here continues to try and refine his favoured medium of production, animated motion capture. Disney's A Christmas Carol is on par, animation wise with his previous projects, The Polar Express and Beowulf, but it still doesn't manage to look as good as live-action would, nor as polished as other CG-animated products; though I will say in it's defense, there were certain shots where the lighting was so well designed that I was fooled momentarily believing some of the characters on screen were real.

    Ebenezer Scrooge: What do you want with me?
    Jacob Marley: You will be haunted by three spirits.
    Ebenezer Scrooge: I'd rather not.

    I saw this film in 3D, the first time I've ever seen a full feature length film in 3D at the cinema, and I came away impressed with certain aspects, while a touch frustrated with others. A simple dolly shot in 3D has a marvelous look resonating from it's use, simply beautiful and truly enticing me into this world, as well the depth of field in a simple shot where two characters are in frame is astounding, but then whenever a shot of someone's hand flying out toward the audience is shown, that impressiveness previously disappears.

    Zemeckis has definitely made a visually intriguing film, a highly original take on this classic story, while also being faithful to the source, and there are many good times to be had within. I think the best way to sum up Disney's A Christmas Carol is that it's _b_style over substance, often taking liberties with the story and skipping vital detailed parts like it's racing through Charles Dickens tale. The film seems to be more interested in being a showcase rollercoaster of impressive visuals rather than one of creating emotional connection with the characters. It's just, whenever a sequence begins to evolve really intriguing emotionally, it pulls away into another crazy storm of fast paced flying.

    As a whole, Disney's A Christmas Carol is a jolly experience at the cinema, though it's less of a sentimental, character building piece of story and more of a high octane effects ride, valuing entertainment rather than Dickens story, but there again, isn't that why most go to the films in the first place? I know I certainly expect something deeper, meaningful usually but this being Disney and a family supportive project it succeeds in showing the children and even adults amazement visually.

    ''God bless us all...every one!''

  • Paranormal Activity (R, 2009)

    - by stopitgoaway
    Did the hype kill the movie? I watch a lot of horror movies and normally I would really have liked t...[ read more ]his one. In the endless stream of b-movies and even expensive crap, this movie really stands out. Paranormal Acivity is a scary and straightforward movie and it isn't boring. But of course there is the hype. After I heard this was the scariest movie ever, expectations evidently went up. Eventually resulting in a slight disappointment. This movie would have been much scarier, creepier if I hadn't had any expectations, if I hadn't read any reviews. I guess Public Enemy was right about the Hype.

    The movie is scary indeed. After watching Paranormal Activity I noticed that the nightly sounds of my 200 years old house were louder and creepier than ever. But I did not let my good night's sleep for it.

    The acting was good but sometimes slightly overdone, which made it difficult for me to connect with the characters. I understand that Micah, the bf, had to be annoying, the character was written that way. But their is something wrong if you start imagining in the middle of the movie gruesome ways he could die. The movie should have been scarier if I had had more empathy for the characters.

    Anayway I enjoyed watching this film, but the hype made me expect more.

    The cast is bland and uninteresting with the slight exception of Vaughan who's flat deadpan deliveries are always a smile raiser, Jean Reno is awful as the mystic island leader with all the marriage secrets and really I cant think of anything good to say here LOL sorry.
    In short its poo (unless your a married couple perhaps but don't get your hopes up)
