Thoroughly enjoying Game of Thrones for now.

Is this going to be the norm in the future?

High quality productions in TV shows - yes, please!

Chronicle: A Review

February 20th 2012 13:14

Hey folks,

Had the privilege to watch "Chronicle" the other day and just thought I'd write a short review about it here.

If you are a gamer, you will be disappointed with the movie. (It is almost exactly like "Prototype").

If you are a female who is into her chick flicks, you will be disappointed with the movie.

This leaves the angry, teenager as, in my opinion, the perfect demographic for the movie.

The visual effects are very believable and modern but the storyline leaves a whole lot to be desired.

Watch it for a showcase of what is to come for cinema/movie-making and you will not be disappointed.

2 our of 5 stars.

The Tourist: A Review

December 23rd 2011 15:41

There are some movies you watch purely because the cast list is impressive. “The Tourist” is one of these movies.

The set of the movie is equally impressive. Set in Venice, Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie graces the screens, weaving in and out of canals, cobbled streets and mansions with high ceilings effortlessly. Depp is slightly out of his element, playing Frank Dupelo, a high school teacher. Jolie on the other hand, is right in her element. Confident, sexy, yet totally in love with a mystery man, she plays Elise Clifton-Ward incredibly well, exuding the correct sense of strength and weakness.

It is a little unexpected at first to watch Depp on the other side of his usual screen persona. However, I can’t help but think that he would be exactly like Frank Dupelo in real life; some might argue that this is why Depp is a good actor, he plays each of his character so very well.

The movie gives out hunches of what is ahead but none of the twists are really that unpredictable. It can feel disjointed at times and relies heavily on the on-screen presence of Depp and Jolie to make it work. The movie also feels “empty” – potentially because so much screen time is devoted to only a few key actors.

I wanted to watch the movie for the longest of times and I wouldn’t say I was disappointed with it but it could, in my opinion, have done so much more. The story and script tries to be clever but does not really deliver strongly on its key messages.

If you, like me, thought that this is Depp’s foray into espionage-style movies such as James Bond and the Bourne Series, you will be wrong.

“The Tourist” turns out to be a 50/50 movie for me. I wouldn’t say I love it and I definitely wouldn’t say I hate it. If you want to pass an hour or so staring at Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp, perhaps this is the movie for you.

2.5/5
