Memories of Murder (Salinui chueok) - Unrated
|
|
Wow. Excellent film. This beautifully shot dark comedy/thriller fires on all cylinders. Don't watch the English dub though.

Will Smith and company are good, but the story is a little depressing at times.

Le Scaphandre et le Papillon (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) - PG-13

Does an excellent job of putting you in the shoes of the main character; the problem is that it's a very uncomfortable place to be.

Cloverfield - PG-13

Godzilla meets Blair Witch. Did a good job at conveying an intimacy between victim (you) and the attacker. I'm sure it'll get the same cold reception as Blair Witch though. Also, the shaky cam might make some sick.

Has a twist ending thats so twisted that you wont see it coming. But other than that, it's just OK.

The Host (Gwoemul) - R
|
|
Impressive considering it's Korea's first foray into blockbuster horror, BUT I'm not sure if the Asian cinema style genre blending (comedy/drama/horror) does more harm here than good. Overexposure of the (awkwardly moving) Gwoemul creature doesn't help either.

A whole lot of nothin' leading up to a huge gun fight. Carnahan tries to save it by tossing a twist ending at us that will be obvious to some and confusing to the rest.

Goyer didn't botch this one up as badly as he did Blade Trinity, but there was still a lot of room for improvement.

Conceptually, this could be seen as a shocking and significant wake-up call. Technically, it comes across as a political infomercial.

The Devil Came on Horseback - Unrated

Not too deep - a decent crash course on Darfur. I'm thinking it would have been more effective as a 1 hour cable/TV special than a movie as this will most likely be "preaching to the choir."

It's typical Nick Cage; not bad but not great. The beginning WAS pretty cool, but it quickly turned in to a standard Hollywood action flick.

This terrible mess of a film will be given mercy by critics because of Coppola, BUT in all honesty it's far worse than Sound of Thunder or Battlefield Earth.
