Fak wai nai gai thoe (2014)
A nice change
If you're expecting to see a memorable horror movie, you've come to the wrong place. "The Swimmers" isn't a fantastic movie that you'll want to see over and over again, every year every time Halloween comes around, but it's a nice movie if you're looking for something refreshing and different.
I saw "The Swimmers" in an horror fest this year, and I must say it was a nice change of pace after all the typical American horror movies that were shown. It wasn't your typical horror movie, especially since you get a good laugh or two at some moments of the film; although it isn't a great movie it's still really enjoyable.
I won't say much more since I don't want to give out any spoilers, but the ending, although a little anti-climate, sure came as a surprise (and I say this as the kind of the person who watches horror movies daily or weekly and usually knows everything that is gonna happen because of how cliché it is).
Enjoy!
Snow White and the Huntsman (2012)
Extremely disappointed
After a long wait, I finally was able to watch "Snow white and the Huntsman" .
I was very excited to watch this movie since it seemed to be a darker and more adult version of the famous tale. I wasn't disappointed with how darker and sinister it was, and Charlize Theron really brought the Evil Queen to life.
This being said, I only watched about 30 minutes of the movie. The dark mood was there, the tragedy of a fallen kingdom, a little girl becoming an orphan and then being trapped... it was wonderful, until Kristen Stewart came in to scene.
Before I get any negative comments on why I am saying I didn't like Kristen Stewarts performance, take in account I actually am a fan of Kristen Stewart. I watched the Twlight Saga religiously and she does her part well, and I liked her performance in Zathura, but I think she wasn't right for such a part.
After about 10 minutes into the scene with Kristen Stewart running from the castle, I wasn't able to watch it anymore. She lacked the intensity the character demanded, and it became so bad at a certain point, I actually gave up on watching the movie I had waited so long to watch.
I'm not saying she isn't a good actress, but she did seem quite expressionless in this movie. Overall, from what I watched, the soundtrack was inviting, the rest of the actors did their part well, and the backgrounds and outfits were absolutely amazing.
