Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008)
2 fangs out of 10 - this movie bites and sucks
Doesn't anyone know how to make a good vampire movie anymore? A vampire movie should be dark and chilling, the vamp should be terrifying and make you scared of the dark. Instead we get Lost Boys 2 where the vamps are a handful of dumb punks, legend lore is tossed out the window in favor of lame special effects, and the experienced vampire hunter hasn't improved his skills since he was 12 and has a sore throat or something - Feldman's voice made me laugh every time he spoke. Hollywood needs to stop using special effects as a substitute for quality story telling. Spend more time and money on plot, mood, and acting, and less on trying for the wow factor. Lost Boys 2 is a lame, poorly written, farce of a vampire movie. Don't waste your time with this one - it sucks.
Casino Royale (2006)
Bond is back!
Thank the Gods someone finally brought Bond back to his roots as a spy, and not some high tech gadget wielding, over the top special effects ridden clown in a tux. The new Bond movie is excellent with a capital EXCELLENT! Anyone who has seen Layer Cake knew this was going to be a good movie, but it is better then good - it is GREAT! I hope the same stars and director make two dozen more!
The acting is bang on, the pace of the movie is perfect - you don't even feel the two and a half hours go by, and the camera work is amazing. The scene where Bond tails the women through the streets feels like you are there moving in stealth mode right beside Bond.
This is a must see movie, and I can't wait to own it on DVD.
The Day After Tomorrow (2004)
Are there any intelligent screenwriters doing action movies?
Sure the effects were fine examples of CGI...well, OK except for the weird looking wolves...but did anyone with an IQ over 80 even read the script before they started shooting? You could float an iceberg through the holes in this story: - a man jumps over a chasm for no good reason - they turn the fog lights on AFTER they crash - Hey! That ship that has been outside for the last few days might have some supplies on it - good thing we're really, really smart 'A' students and all, cause the average person would have taken a whole week to think of this (yuk, yuk, yuk)
I could go on and on, but maybe you want to waste a couple of hours and your money and go see this disaster of a disaster movie yourself. The only worse would be going to see Van Helsing...I mean Van Horrible.
