  The Midnight Meat Train

  by Khris

  Pretty cool.... Loved the beginning of the story, but it slowly began to go downhill... why i dont know, I found myself laughing instead of being intensely fascinated. I guess the mystery was unravelling pretty fast and went of "the tracks" too quickly, but I still enjoyed the graphic horror and bloodshed.
  
  Vinnie Jones is one of my favourite brit actors, the guy is definitely a person I WOULD NOT meet in a dark alley, he hardly says anything in the movie but his presence is good enough to give everyone the shivers... and then put a meat hammer or knife in his hand and then you realise why people are scared of this guy... his death stare can kill cats on the spot!
  
  It does seem weird with a lot fo the emotional and love story behind it, but anyone who is familiar with Clive Barker's work should know that twisty emotions and twisty plot lines are his trademarks. Think of this as a horror / dark surreal fantasy with ten truckloads of blood, and you get the idea! XD
  
  Anyways, it was pretty tensing at moments, and pretty much everyone should watch it for Vinnie. The first slaughter you see is breathtaking.... have to see it to believe it.
  
  I think it does get a little silly near the ending, the proverbial tale of the hero fighting evil in a sorta classy action scene which was out of place, and it didnt leave much to the imagination or surprise... the movie did give away all its secrets too soon rather than let it build up, so the ending was deflated.
  
  But I guess why I liked it was for the blood. Lots of claret spilling all over the place is good. ^____^
  
  Watch it if you like Clive Barker and Stephen King, and lots of graphic scenes. The realism is great.

  Death Race

  by Khris

  Carmageddon fans rejoice!!!!!! Our movie has arrived. And better this than some trashy game to movie adaptation.
  
  There is a real clear cut story behind this which propels it pretty fast... everyone's favourite non-hollywood star Jason Statham does it again with this steel tough thriller. Alongside a cast which also happens to have some of the nastiest prison figures you'll see on the screen.
  
  Of course, you watch this baby for the thrills and spills!!! this is hardcore action baby!!! I never enjoyed a driving movie as much as this in a long while, and it delivers.
  
  Buckle your seat belt and hold on to your hats for this one folkes!! Its a killer.
  
  Emphasis on "killer".

  Pump up the Volume

  by Khris

  This was an excellent movie!!!!!
  
  The ultimate teenage rebellion, angst and outspoken movie ever. Forget American Pie and all those other poser teen movies, this is the definitive rebel yell from one of the most rebellious Hollywood stars.
  
  You have to love the soundtrack to the movie, it rocks hardcore. And so does the local pirate DJ, who happens to be a discreet, shy teen suffering in the prison which his life has become, and opens his mind and attitude to others in a literal "call to arms" to take back their lives, their identity, against a totalitarian school bent on eradicating their very souls.
  
  Its a hard hitting, yet funny look at the repressed teens of our society and the unity of kids against their school, parents and government for limiting them, turning them into the opposites of what they really feel, what they really want.
  
  Cause in the end, as the message goes, to be a teenager, to have a life, to have your own mind, to have an open minded education, to have the ability to think for yourself.... its a God given right to be YOU.
  
  
  
  ENJOY!

  Lat sau san taam (Hard-Boiled)

  by Khris

  One of the best bloody shoot em ups ever made. John Woo's final HK film before moving to Hollywood is rated in nearly every top 10 list of action movies. Its easy to see why most of Woo's Hollywood projects seem very tame after watching his HK flicks... and his golden boy, Chow Yun Fat is the best at what he does. With Style and vengeance.
  
  
  But behind this all out warzone of a flick is a good story and issues of the fine line between good cop and bad cop, paired by Fat and Tony Leung. After Detective Tequila witnesses his partner being killed, he starts an all out war with the smuggling ring and gangsters responsible for the death.. until he realises that one of them is an undercover agent, tasked with finding out the location of a secret arms cache.
  
  This movie is divided into these parts: The tea house shoot-out, the warehouse war, the dock shoot-out and the final Hospital Armageddon. All throughout is Woo's trademark action scenes, all original and all copied by others. XD
  
  It great to see the gun ballet at its best, and the violence is very convincing... as well as the hospital paitents dilemma and the babies taken hostage!!
  
  Its been a long while since I got my own copy of this... and any true action lover wont certaintly give this a miss if they know whats good for them!!

  I guess there was more bullets in this movie than dollars spent making it.

  Street Kings

  by Khris

  With an interesting cast and hardcore performances comes a good cop thriller that nearly feels realistic.
  
  There is nothing moral or politically correct about this movie... its all about being a bad ass, corruption and loyalty to your fellow officers. But what happens if you fall in so deep, while being an alcoholic and having the rep of being the most violent cop on town, with Internal Affairs breathing down your back.... what do you do?? Especially when you are implicated in your old partner's brutal assassination. Especially when your old partner was ratting you out to Internal Affairs. Thats motive, mate.
  
  Anyways, welcome to the dark side of law enforcement. Even when the scenes are during the day, it still feels like it is dark as night... or dark as evil. We once again see the lines between law and justice blurred with illegality, meet cops who are experts are walking the tightrope of corruption.
  
  
  Im not a Keanu Reeves fan, but he did OKAY in the movie. But its most probably because I liked the whole idea of the movie itself. The other cast of course are excellent, from Forest Whitaker, Hugh Laurie (HOUSE! XD) and surprisingly, Chris Evans, whom I usually think is just another short stripping wannabe, but he may have some talent after all.
  
  Anyways, the movie is not too brutal, a bit graphic, but we've seen much worse. Also, I don't think its been pushed as far as it could have gone. This movie had so much potential... but its flawed. It comes on hard... then backs off as if the Director was scared to go over the edge. It doesn't finish real well, which is disappointing and nothing really stands out. Except for the fact that this is a really dirty cop movie, which is the reason I'm drawn to it.
  
  Its a movie that made a big splash when it came out, due to minimal but effective marketing but will (probably already has), disappeared into the wilderness of Hollywood movies that come and go.
  
  Watch it once, and then it automatically leaves your mind the next day.

  Felon

  by Khris

  This is an excellent piece of drama, which delves into the skewered world of the legal and penal system. Injustice is rife... emotions and humanity is nil. I guess this is one of the best prison movies you will ever see.
  
  Honestly, it is a dark, sad tale of our system failing an honest man and his family. And when he serves his sentence, we see how his life is torn apart over and over again... to breaking point. Along the way, he befriends a "lifer" who schools him in the way of prison life and the rules to survive in the pen. One a hardened con with no chance, another grasping at the last straws of hope and humanity... before the corrupt prison guards and the other cons turn him into an animal with a number.
  
  Im a student of criminology and the legal system, and have strong views on punishment. This is a great example of the system corrupt, humanity, honesty and morality lost on both sides of the law. It makes you wonder how can we live in a society when we fail those who fall wayward of our rules, so that they do not learn, they do not accept responsibility, they do not repent? And of course, what happens when the people we entrust to uphold our laws and serve us and the inmates, fail at their duty?
  
  It is said that our society can be judged and evaluated according to how we run our prisons. Obviously this is not a 100% accurate view of our prisons... but Im sure that its not far off. Which kinda makes me very nervous.
  
  I am a big Dorff and Kilmer fan, both have my respects as great actors, very underrated. They noth are all class and talent, thats why they make movies like this. Their performances were great. Kilmer stole the show as the devastated, cold, brutal Smith, a man with no future, forever indebted to serve his time and suffer a great emotional injustice... which is not recieving the death penalty so that he can reunite with his dead family. A philosopher and mentor, respected and feared by his peers, Kilmer is excellent (though he has aged terribly)
  
  Anyways, its hardcore raw film-making. Handheld cameras are used a lot, but I thought it gave it a realistic effect to the whole nature of the movie. It picked up pace real quick in the beginning, and moves fast, so its not boring at all. It does explore the nature of being human, a criminal, and our conceptions of justice and law... and then simply, what is right or wrong. Halfway through, it became simpler, and I guess this enabled it to finish strongly with a happy ending.
  
  Remember, this is just a story, but as we had Prison Break on TV purely for entertainment, Felon is entertaining but also wakes us up and makes us see and feel what men go through in prison, how life is drastically different to our world.
  
  
  Two thumbs up. Enjoy!

  Hellboy II: The Golden Army (Hellboy 2)

  by Khris

  Everyone's favourite, cigar smoking, horned. giant red monkey is back!
  
  XD
  
  Im a big Guilmero Del Toro fan, and after the huge success and the painstaking effort of Pan's Labyrinth, its good to see him kick back and make something more enjoyable to the masses....
  
  
  I firmly believed the original Hellboy movie to be one of the best comic to movie adaptations ever. As far as sequels go, tits more looser, funnier and enjoyable. I guess because of its outlandish idea and the great background story makes this work... plus the fact its enjoyable and it comes through the performances of the stars and the overall movie itself. Its not as great as the first... but its a definite keeper.
  
  I mean come on, Hellboy and Sabian getting drunk and singing "Can't Live without you" together... this is purely entertainment value and it doesn't fails... it has its dramatic bits, while serving up some traditional whoop ass.
  
  
  Of course, Del Toro's costumes and graphic designs are the key players... and its awesome. Jim Henson has nothing on him when it comes to the abnormal.
  
  
  Anyways, for me, the movie works. The right amount of thrills, kills and monster costumes... some were laughable, but they looked real good. The music was good, atmospheric and worked well. The stunts and action were top notch.... see it for yourself.
  
  
  Anyways, the only thing was the story did drag in a few places, but thats the way it is. And I'm glad that Del Toro left the movie open for a possible sequel.... the destiny of Hellboy is still in doubt, plus that other "little" surprises. XD
  
  
  Anyways, what made me give it four stars? Pretty much I dont mind watching this again. Its got good rewatch value, its definitely not boring for 90% of the time.
  
  
  Enjoy!
