Stuff I've watched as of late......

INFESTATION-

It sounds like the cheese of what is a predictable story line, and it is. But I seem to be a very forgiving person when it comes to movies. Sometimes the plot is not as important as one would think. Its how the plot is performed.

Chris Marquette, plays a "slacker", who wakes up and discovers the world is being overrun by huge ass insects. His clever dialogue seemed so natural. And thats what really appealed to me, was not so much the story, but the conversations in between the action.

A movie can have a great story behind it, but the dialogue can sound totally scripted. Complete shite! The more natural, the more I can relate to it. Cooper, Chris's role, reminds me of...me in a way, and how he explains how wished for this incident to happen, "...this whole end of the world thing...in the end he wished he had a girl, a dog, and a muscle car....settling down in a cabin in the mountains, trying their best to re-populate the planet... rustling up their spiky haired, children, telling stories of the before times..." I can relate to this, because I have the same mentality on dorky shite like that....Kinda funny.

The effects were not to be "WoWed" about, but it was ok. Aside from the clever dialogue, It seemed to touch bases emotionally within the characters as well. Not everyone makes it, of course, some lose their mind, and the once slacker becomes the hero. blah blah blah...

For me, I thought it was worth the download, haha! It was quite enjoyable. It made me realize that a movie has a lot of pot holes in the road. The dialogue fills them up for a smooth ride. (wow, this was pretty long)

And here are a couple short reviews:

CRANK 2: HIGH VOLTAGE-

Much like the first, the movie was non stop. It had lot action, gruesome comedy, wicked gun fights, and mmmmmmmm Amy Smart. The fast paced editing made it seem like the movie was alive in a way.
GI JOE: THE RISE OF COBRA-

What more can you really expect from a movie based on a cartoon? Not much. The movie was pretty. Big explosions, beautiful actors, and cheesy one liners. And a lot like the toon, the dopest character is always my ninja, Snake eyes!

BEHIND THE MASK:THE RISE OF LESLIE VERNON-

This was a pretty sweet indie horror flick. Comedy/slasher/documentary. I like the twist, and how casual it can be to talk about stalking a teenager, and butchering her friends.
LESBIAN VAMPIRE KILLERS-

The title says it all. It had its moments. Boobs. Girls kissing girls... Word!
