The Day The Earth Stood Still [December 12th 2008]

The much-anticipated [at lease by me :p] remake of the 1951 classic sci-fi film is being released on December 12th worldwide. While the original told a story about and alien and his giant robot coming to discover [observe and document] Earth, this new one seems a bit different. A lot of the scenes in the trailer weren't included and aren't even close to the original.

For those who have watched the original [esp. the ending], you'd notice something strange about this one that'll make you think it's NOT a remake.

The eerie atmosphere is evident in the trailer. It also has the same feel of Speilberg's The War of The Worlds [2005]. I just hope this remake doesn't ruin the message the original one had.

I don't really know much about this film as of yet.. but I'm reading up on it..

Keanu Reeves is going to be playing the part of the Alien... and from what I've seen in the trailer, he's more than capable of portraying that role.

Title: The Day The Earth Stood Still

Genre: Sci-Fi/Drama/Thriller

Directed by: Scott Derrickson

Writen by: David Scarpa

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, Kathy Bates, John Cleese

Release Date: December 12, 2008

Wow, just wow. I loved this movie! Although it's not without its faults, it certainly does deliver. The performances were solid, the effects were mind blowing, the development of the story was good. I was literally on the edge of my seat throughout almost the entire movie. Though predictable at times, Wanted excites and pulls off a couple of new and unique surprises.

Angelina Jolie was just amazing. I loved every scene she was in. James McAvoy was spectacular as Wes Gibson. They couldn't have picked a better actor to play the role. He was just perfect for it. Morgan Freeman is just brilliant. The chemistry between the characters is undeniable.

This action-packed summer movie is sure to be a blockbuster, with its nail-biting chase scenes, and sizzling performances from Jolie, McAvoy, and Freeman.

Some are comparing this movie to the Martix, but in my opinion, this one's much more fun. After you watch it, a lot of you might want to take up shooting and the range soon :p~

In sum, it was smart, entertaining, and funny in just the right parts. A must see summer movie.

Plot [~SPOILERS~]

Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) is a neurotic accounts manager who works in a small cubical filling out billing reports day in and day out. He allows his boss, his girlfriend, and his best friend to walk all over him. To cope with his life, he takes anti-anxiety pills by the bottle full. Wesley has no desire to change his humdrum life, but one day while getting more pills at the drug store, he meets a beautiful woman, Fox (Angelina Jolie), who changes his life forever.

Fox was sent to protect Wesley from the man who had just killed his father. Fox tells Wesley that his father died yesterday on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Building and that he will be next. Wesley is recruited into the "Fraternity," a secret society of assassins that his father was a member. Fox must train Wesley to bring out his special powers that he was born with in order to avenge his fathers death. The Fraternity's leader, Sloan (Morgan Freeman), also teaches Wesley the ways of the group, and Wesley soon becomes an assassin just like his father. - IMDB Caitlin1015

Mirrors [2008]

Mirrors [2008]

It's Friday the 13th! and I'm on a search to find that next big horror movie. After being disappointed by The Happening, I started surfing the net for a while and came across the long awaited teaser trailer of the Korean horror remake titled Mirrors.

[Release Date : August 15th]

Directed by Alexandre Aja [The Hills Have Eyes '06 Remake - High Tension], Mirrors is centered around the character of Ben Carson [Keifer Sutherland], an ex-New York police detective, who has been relieved from duty due to the fatal shooting of another officer. A recovering alcoholic, recently separated from his wife, Ben takes a job as head of security at a burnt down department store plagued by unexplained deaths.

The store is also the target of demonstrators wanting compensation for an earlier staff fire tragedy. The man becomes intrigued by a disturbed woman. She claims her sister, who died in the fire, is exacting revenge, using mirrors as a gateway back into the living world.

~Teaser Trailer~

If you ask me, it looks like a remake of the three Poltergeist movies. Anyway.. having something to watch is better than nothing. :/

Horror Movie Marathon tonight. Me and a couple of friends are skipping the game and going to watch 13 horror movies continuously tonight. Four tubs of Ben & Jerry's are chillin' in the freezer, and two boxes of popcorn are just waiting to be popped :p~

Take care, stay safe, and be careful :[ <>

Movie Review: The Happening 75% [being kind]

Zoozameter: 75%

Movie Synopsis:

M. Night Shyamalan directs this thriller about a father (Mark Walhberg) who tries to escape with his family after an apocalyptic event. THE HAPPENING costars Zooey Deschanel and John Leguizamo.

Cinescape Experience:

I cannot believe that they are actually editing out graphic death scenes now. As a horror/gore fan, I am appalled by this. The Ministery of Mass Comm/ Cinescape should be buried alive and have their grave spat on.

Movie Experience and Review:

The lighting was enthralling. The direction was superb. The effects were captivating. But the acting... uhh the acting was mainly ok, but just downright stupid at times. Mr. Shyamalan should have spent more time working on the script, just as much time as he spent tryign to make it strange and otherworldly.

The mic did appear at the top of the screen in some shot, which really bothered me at times.

M. Night Shyamalan writes, directs, and produces another thriller, in which he portrays moments of urgency and drama through aiming but missing on the Hitchcockian style.

The Happening starts out with an eerie couple of scenes that would send chills down anyone's spine, but takes a wrong turn after 30 to 40 minutes into the movie.

*Spoilers Start*

There are some interesting sequences, where that viral video on Youtube [a large group of people stand still at the exact same time] was adapted on screen. Another creepy sequence is were a man actually turns on a huge lawnmower and lays down on the grass and gets "mower-ed".

The scene that was edited out is where a zoo keeper provokes a lion and gets eaten alive. Thanks to Jerrod, I got my hands on the final script four weeks ago, and some preproduction daily footage.

*Spoilers End*

There were some fun jumps here and there, but other than that zilch. It was as if the movie went from filming to cinemas before entering preproduction. Okay, maybe I'm being brutal, or maybe I've just built it up way too much in my mind, but the movie was just ok for me.
Zooey Deschanel was really good considering what she had to work with. I loved every scene she was in, and Shyamalan was Mark Walhberg was not very good. He was clearly not the best choice to play the lead role. The kid was good, but annoying at times.

Advice:

Go and see it if you REALLY want to, but otherwise skip this one and wait for a decent screener or DvdRip to appear online, or rent it from iTunes in a few months.
