so where's the suspense of it?

Every now n then there comes a film, that doesn't show the horror or the gore, but just the scare, and the use of low budget. Comes the strangers, with today used of the camera, is all film in shaky cam, which many filmmaker describe"a way to show the realism". Well they accomplish it. here the review:

Young couple come home from a wedding reception,staying in a cabin in the outskirt of the city, James Hoyt(Scott Speedman) was crush from been rejected by Kristen Mckay(Liv Tyler) by showing the ring. Not speeking, silence stood, to forget everything. They drink some champagne, eat some ice scream, take a shower, and light the chimney, when suddenly someone star knocking their door, to see who it was, a woman star asking for a name. which tell her "sorry", leaving she go to the shadow. When James go out , Kristen star receiving more knocking, from all apart of the house, when it revealed she was been stalk, by 3 mask people. Driving her to the point of paranoia, when James comes home, thing get more deadlier:

1st stealing their cellulars.

2nd destroy any transportation they got.

3rd kill anyone that come to help them.

4rd take any weapon they got in their arsenal.

5ht Star playing with them.

This is one night they will never forget, if they make it out alive.

Ok, the thing that i like of the film, was the way they shot it, using the shaky cam. How it base on real life event, give that tone of what is gonna happen to this couple, i mean if something real and scary is gonna been shot camera, there be a lot of movement. And the way the killers come out from the shadows, is something that already been used by the 90's slasher films. But in this one, they play it right, giving the scare for happening every moment. Is a surprise how this killers gave me some chill for just appearing.

Now the bad, most of the movie that the killer, just scaring the audiences than the couples. I mean i felt it more like a suspense but not a horror, this same style they shot I know what you did last summer. then less not forget when in one scene, Scott speedmane go to the barn to call for help.Knowing that wheres one of killer come out, i mean to they know there's a radio there or they getting ready to smash it when one of them use it. I mean there's no logic to it. But the big surprise come when they don't tel who are the killers or what they look like. Especially when on the why they 're stalking them?

So the movie got some suspense n scare, by a low budget. It wasn't bad, but little disappointing by not telling who were the killers. My theory just a couple hillbillers, looking for some fun i guest.

The movie was date to be release last October. But they change it cause of the saw phenomenon. So it was left in hiatus until they announce it for May, from seen it i think they should have left it for a dvd release. period.

At 65 he can till whip it.

First of all, i wanna star out with a apology, from my last blog that came wrong, from manny misspelling to not correcting the words, and the paragraphs. Now lets begin, is been 19 years since the last adventure, but there were rumors for a 4th installment, but there were problems, with the makers n the studios. Last year, Shia labeouf announce the new tittle in the mtv's music videos awards.
Calling it the Kingdom of the crystal skull, Spielberg said that fan's "were gonna be disappoint", is he right? here my slash of a review:

the year is 1957, america was fearing from communism, but when convoy of soldier, head to a secret military base, taken with them the one and only Dr. Jones(Harrison Ford) and he's companion Mac Mchale(Ray Winstone), to find a very magnetic crate, that hold something from out there. Miraculous escaping thank to jet turbine, he find shelter in a near town, not knowing it was a nuclear test. Surviving it, he is question, for what happen in the base. Back home it doesn't get better, when he is fire from teaching cause they charge him for helping the red's. But when he receive a message from a biker greaser name Mutt(Shia Lebouf) asking him for help to save his mother and a profesor Oxl(play by legendary British actor John Hurt) That Indy know him, He try to unravel a riddle that take them to South America Peru. Where they search take them to find the crystal skull. Just to fall right into russian hands. Held by the sword swinger Dr.Irana Spalko(Cate Blanchett), and reuniting with a very lost love Marion Ravenwood(Karen Allen), to escape and start a new adventure that take them, to confront, new danger, falling 3 times to a waterfall, to man eating ants, to find the lost city that is call El Dorado.

The acting of Harrison ford was the best thing from the film, from hes fear of snake(that still get some laught) to hes daring stunt, o yeah hes back to the Famous archaeologist, Cate Blanchett playing as a villain that a first for me, cause she really know her russian character, reminded me of another call Diana from the V tv series(if anyone know it). I think The best moment of Karen Allen comes when she argue with Harrison, and of course the secret that tell him too. I was very confuse with the Ray Winstone part cause really who is he, a russian or cia? Labeouf started good, playing the rough and stuff biker, that rescue, but he lost me in some scene, but the relationship he start having with Indy, really give the style of sarcasm that the films have.

Npow the story follow the same formula to the others, from beginnings finding him in danger, to been hire for a job or trying to find someone, later some adventures, than fight it off against a big brute, more adventure n danger, and ending it with a very big bang. I enjoy his escape from the military warehouse, with the way he used the whip, o yeah you can tell that important for the film, to the biker chase that ain't neither close when comparing it to the bike chase of 3rd bourne movie. I kind enjoy the duel of the jeeps between Shia and Cate. But some them were over top ridiculous, i mean swinging shia, what is he, but wait then he receive help from the monkeys, he ain't Tarzan but more of George. Than who here survive 3 waterfalls, really who.
Some of the jungle is mostly made of Cg. Really you can tell it.

Like the mixing of the legend of el dorado to the mystery of the famous area 51, but with psycho turn that you can't compare to the previous ones, yeah people it involve little green men. honestly i kind like it , is a new way to telling it for new generation. Manny old fan won't take the like kind. Is sometime it get strange. But the true gold is in the classic gag that films are very know at. So the magic is till there. With great lines, to the entertainment that you wont leave your sit for nothing.

I said it, "it wasn't gonna be good to the 3rd, but will be entertained". that's all about it.
But be honest is good to see Harrison into the role that he most recognize at. So is the 5th one gonna be made and will star shia Lebouf as the title character? Well i won't answer that.
but lets hope it happen in another 19 years. Period.

Best film so far, with a little spanish flavor in it.

Kid fantasy, is what making wave this days:
Eragon, the searcher, but non of them couldn't reach the hype to the Harry Potter film. But when a particular film from 2005 premier in December, that involve a lion, witch, and the wardrobe.
Well ye don't get a fable, but a epic. Now a not so sequel, but a follow up, comes, and this time the kids ain't the stars but a young Spanish(of course he's British theater actor)prince.
Here's my sound of the horn of a review:

A century have passed, and Narnia land have been torch by the arrival of the Telmarine, that have exiling all mystical beast of the land(that count, centaurin, dwarfs, goat people, minotaur, ogres, etc,). But when the son of King Miraz is born, he order the dead of he's nephew who's the rightful heir to the throne, prince Caspian(Ben Barnes) Help by he's professor, he escape to the woods, where he blow the horn. While back to the real world Susan(Ana Popplewell), Edmund(Skandar Keynes), and little Lucy(Georgie Henley), make their way, to the subway. But when a fight broke, involving Peter(William Moseley), cause he wasn't to be taken seriously. But when their world change, they re transported back to Narnia, only to find ruins. So they make their way to find Aslan.
Meanwhile Prince Caspian is taken refuge with a dwarf n badger, where take him to meet up with the others narnian, where they put him in trial, for what he people have done, and taken.
So the Prince promise them, their land back, if they help him take back he's crown, and help of the Pevensie siblings, is time to act, and return the Telmarine prince to the rightful throne. but when problems ab rum, when a clash of disagreement comes between Peter n the Prince, their chances to win, seem hopeless.
Will they work together?

First of the Prince himself make a very dashing star, that can make a senior women droll over. This time the kids don't act that much, but in the case of William, struggling to be a man was a great star, especially that argument he have with the prince. and this time we get to see Ana with the bow in action finally. And they say the spanners can act evil tell that to Sergio Castellitto, playing King Miraz, with just having that beard he very well be the captain hook of the story. But the one that i describe it as the scratch(of ice age) go to a swashbuckling mice call Reepicheep, that almost take the movie, but is a fun character to follow. And of course Liam Nesson is back to reprise he's role as aslan.

Coming from the director of the 1st shreck movie, he do justice , when it come to the visual, i mean there places that can be compare to another epic movie 3rd harry potter film, with great landscape, great wide shot to the Telmarine castle. But enough of that, lets talk about the fx, this time they gave all to bring the mystical beast great touch est to the real hair of the minotaur, to the human body of the centaurs, but beside there the animals are all cg. But of course the true delight of the fx's go to water creature, that can't be compare to the water horses of the 1st LOTR.

But the difference to the 1st is, this time their dead, from the creatures to the beast, they didnt stop to make it more real, especially the fight between Peter and Miraz. Far non, this ain't a Pg film. Now there something that i got to point out the battle armours of the Telmarine have so much influences to the Spanish conquistador, specialty, is they look straight out of a Don Quixote look. What i real like of the film, is they tone of the enemy, who they were, cause most of this actor that play them are all Spanish, and some Mexican too. So this is a very unique thing coming from a fantasy film. Hey i m Mexican i know my history.

the problem that i had with the 1st , there were great storytelling, but little lets acting, this time they done right, so there is a perfect film.

So, if weren't satisfy with last weekend race, if you know what movie i m talking about. then let Disney fill you up with a finally great epic n fantasy movie. And give yourself, a little bit discovering to another culture, especially when is European. Go and explore the world of Narnia.

next stop lets meet a man that travel the world with a whip.

stylish, colorful, but forget that, is always the car.

Base on the first anime series that made it to our tv in the late 60's. Follow now the trend of cartoon to movie. Always the story was in speed, and only that , but with adventure, intrigue, action crushes harder than taken a drink with Lisa lohan . To this film got the acceleration needed to make it a great or family film? turn the light, smoke the engine, and drive on my review:

Speed racer(Emily Hirsh) is a young race driver, coming from a family with history on cars, from Pop(John Goodman), Mom(Susan Saradon), Spritle(Paulie Litt) and their pet ape Chim chim, with their mechanic Spark(Nick Gurry). He follow in his bigger brother Rex, he try to be thebest on what he love most. But when he reject a multi billion corporation by the name of Royalton(Roger Allan). Threatening him and he's family, by losing every race he's in. But find help by the mysterious mask man racer x(Matthew Fox) and inspector Detector( Benno Fürmann) that work for the C.I.B. To bring justice and prove that royalton involment have been fixing every race. For a miserable profit on their action. With the family and trixie(Christina Ricci) behind him. Speed discover the true meaning of what it is to drive. Welcome to the world of stunt racing. And a story of a racer that change that.

Ok some of the acting so much of the badguys is second rated. I mean this is a film that should have gone to DVD. but i got say is not all bad, cause of the cartoonish they really give some fun tothe film. The best go to Paulie Litt and his chimp, that take most of the movie, from their love of candy, to their hi jink when it come hiding in the drunk of the Mach 5. Especially the the dragon ball scene. Great work, Christina was sweet and very observing when it come using the helicopter, but far goes to the comedy expression and mean looks of John Goodman, and the confidense of Susan Sarandon make the movie more enjoyable, Emily Hirch was good for main protagonist, that already he have done on other films. But lets get serious Matthew fox fell like the terminator for this, i mean sure some smile, and drama there, but didn't feel right.

Now the downside of this film was on the dialog that seem so long that remind me of the same when i went to see the Star Wars : Attack of the Clones. with more talking n less action. They should have a least have cut ten some scene, cause really that's why soap opera exist, to exhaust us of boredom.

Bu t lets get to scream of the movie the visual, their no denial the hit it good, under the supervision of Oscar winner John Gaeta, the film change a new style of racing, with the turning of the drift driven, to tracks that look like skate ramps, to some 360's too. By far this is carskating, with so much psichodelic from part of the color n lights, some wonder this is racing or another Britney night out clubs. Their some confusing when it come to the crushing cause you don't no if is mountain on fire or is just a car. And the demolition man foaming safety belts are new touch.

The environment is not all cg, when it come to the interior of the houses n hotels, but fell right for base on a cartoon movie. But there one scene that make ya wonder if ya seen the 2001 space odyssey.

So the movie is gonna bump iron man for the weekend, take no. but hey i could be wrong. The movie is a visual delight, with so much effect that you don't know if ye have a game controller in your hand, but they really have tone down on the dramatic part. and hey the brotyers already gave us a peek to their next project that i heard is gonna have ninja.

Next stop prince caspian.
