Day 60 continued - Dracula III: Legacy (American)

"In the near future, Uffizi and Luke travel to the remote reaches of war torn Romania to rescue Elizabeth and finish the vampire once and for all. Along the way, they encounter TV news journalist and a corps of rebels trying to fight the vampire uprising which plagues their country."

 

Better than the first two but there is still a lot of room for improvement. The direction and filming style is better, after three movies they have found the perfect balance of darkness. Even with a cast of people who have done successful movies this is not one of them. I suggest you skip this move, you know what skip the whole series and be cautious about watching any movie named Dracula.

 

 

1/5

Day 60 - Angriest Man in Brooklyn (American)

"A perpetually angry man is informed he has 90 minutes to live and promptly sets out to reconcile with his family and friends in the short time he has left"

A poorly done film with a lot of meaning but is rushed like the angry man's life. I love how blunt everyone eventually becomes but the film was poorly directed and the progression of things are predictable. If you are a fan of Robin Williams then watch it but if you are not then I suggest you skip it.


1.5/5

Day 59 continued - From The Rough (American)

"Dr. Catana Starks made history as the first woman and the first African American woman to coach a men's college golf team."

-IMDB

 

A good film but also could have been better, maybe something with more depth. A lot of it feels forced, its actually the younger cast that lift this movie up and its the older cast who appears to be bringing this film down. Taraji P. Henson was alright but I wish the film had a better script. Overall its a rushed movie bout a black college having a multi racial team of golfers.

 

2/5

Day 59 - The Lady (french)

 

"The story of Aung San Suu Kyi as she becomes the core of Burma's democracy movement, and her relationship with her husband, writer Michael Aris."

 

A decent film about a wonderful lady who fights for the people of her homeland, the memory of her father and for the love of her family. Michelle Yeoh does a wonderful in this role, to me its the best one I have seen from her. Sure the film could have been a thousand times better with better direction and maybe more depth. David Thewlis did a good job supporting Yeoh as her characters husband who battles cancer while his wife's life is endangered in another country. Everyone else could have been a lot better as these two were the only two good actors in the film. This film has a wonderful message and I hope it will enlighten people.

Day 58 continued - ABC's of Death 2 (American)

"It contains 26 different shorts, each by different directors spanning various countries"

Such a good collection of shorts, I really liked the fact that each short came from a different country. There is not much to talk about because it will spoil the collection. I suggest you watch this film and enjoy.

3/5

Day 58 - Once Upon a Time in Shanghai (Hong Kong)

 

"A laborer moves to Shanghai in the hope of becoming rich. But ends up using his kung fu skills to survive."
Not bad for an action film but could have been a lot better. There are a few holes that could have been filled in order to make the film better. The action scenes were stellar, I wish the dramatic scenes could match them but sadly they couldn't. The climax of the film could have been better as it was predictable but the ending of the film was a lot of fun to watch. If you are bored and want to watch a good action film then this movie is perfect for you.

3/5

little info
It's a remake of Boxer From Shantung (1972) 

 

Day 57 continued - Web Junkie (American/Israeli)

"The film focuses on the Chinese government's classification of internet addiction as a clinical disorder and focuses on the treatment used in Chinese rehabilitation centers."

A very harsh look into the world of internet addiction, I feel like most of the blame falls upon society and the parents of the addicts. As most of them said that they are harsh to their children and work a lot. This is a good documentary that could have been great if handled differently. Its still a good documentary to watch as it might stir a lot of emotions in you and make you want to think about your life. There is something pretty twisted things present in the film that might leave you saying "wtf".


2.5/5
