The Hungry (2017)
Dazzles and disorients
So visually awe-striking, rich colours, rich wardrobe, rich props, the movie drips in splendour that is such a wonderful contrast and juxtaposition with the storyline.
Coming from someone who does not like watching violence, I really enjoyed this film as it kept me hooked and thrilled! I thought the scenes that depicted any form of graphic content were done rather tastefully and I thought was essentially an elevated "elegant" gore film! There is more of the sinister, psychological, 'messing with your brain' - which the editing of the film did brilliantly of truly disorienting you with the timeline until the end - which you anticipate but do not expect. The tension build up throughout the movie but also having the climax at the end was amazing.
I may be biased (I am), but for any of you that can stomach dark and lurid, this one's for you, definitely! Also hey supporting women directors and 'international' cinema for a US audience is always a plus for me. :)
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)
um an okay movie...
well, for one thing it was MUCH MUCH funnier than the first one, i was laughing through-out!!!
the whole movie. okay, why i didn't like the movie: 1. whats up with peter, i forget the book, but did he turn into such an a**hole?
2. except that bit where he shatters the white witch, where the hell was Edmund,i.e why did he seem so inconsequential in the whole movie???? and how come he became so docile? did peter and ed exchange personalities?!?!!?
3.many plot holes that made no sense,some of which are: -if Lucy saw Aslan on the other side of the cliff, and their aim was to cross the river,later they get on to the same side of the cliff and then proceed to cross the river...um huh? -if the trees were awoken, then how come all the vegetation showed later did not fight!
4.Was Lucy that annoying? i liked her in the books, here i'm wary of her coming on scene, because she seems to cry and whimper most of the time!
5.okay the whole Caspian-Susan love equation just didn't work for me, i cringed whenever they showed them on-screen, there was no chemistry and it was just SO funny!!! i couldn't help but laugh...LOUDLY!
Now Why I Liked It: -EYECANDY!!!! and pretty decent acting eye candy at that!! i finally decided on Caspian after he becomes king-seemed hotter then, till then i was still drooling all over Pete, regardless of the HUGE ego...he he
-The Mouse, AAA i forgot his name, he was so cute, as well as Trumpkin, i hearted them both, they were so adorable
-the acting was quite good, tho i didn't like Lucy and Susan much, I'm glad that so many people outside Hollywood got a chance, it came to a point that i was shocked to see the much lighter skinned extras ;)
-the New Zealand scenery was breath-taking, the sets and and the landscape were SO beautiful!!!
apart from that the movie was well-paced, and the action scenes were well co-ordinated, and i like the fact that everyone got hit equally, tho it is annoying to see all the arrows somehow miss the protagonists! all in all it was an entertaining movie and it's not a waste of money, i quite enjoyed myself, i think the song at the end was the main reason why i left the hall with a smile on my face :) it was so infectious, tho when it started i must admit i was like...AAA kill me now, isn't this the most generic thing ever!?!? i.e song playing at end of movie...
SORRY FOR MAKING YOU READ ALL OF THAT!!! ;p
