Shreeux's Movie Chronicles

[shreeux]

Based on the Inspiring true story, teary-eyed and manipulative film, but then again, it's also a pretty good romantic period drama set in the barbaric 18th Century England where, among other things, slavery is the centrepiece and driving force to the economic powerhouse; the British Empire.


Belle (2013) 6/10

Solid performances by its two leads, Nicolas Cage & Elijah Wood, and it's got an entertaining second half, but overall "The Trust" is an uneventful, uninteresting, and predictable heist film that has a downright terrible setup/first half and no character development whatsoever. Nicolas Cage is hilariously fantastic though.

Being a fame of (The Hours, The Reader and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) director Stephen Daldry, Trash is the three lead characters played by children are extremely charismatic and despite not being professional actors they carry the movie. The screenplay was adapted by Richard Curtis from Andy Mulligan’s 2010 novel and some may find some plot similarities between this film and Fernando Meirelles’s City of God.

Below, Its the dark under water movie effective and solid thriller. Nothing more, nothing less. claustrophobic confines of a sub really makes a great setting for a ghost story. For the most part it works pretty well, especially since we aren't restricted to a simple horror tale.

Below (2002) 6.5/10

The Vanished Murderer depends wholly on your view on the "half-empty, half-full glass" analogy. You have a film that has many playful details, good performances and great production values.

"Dark Was the Night" is a creature feature starring the usually supporting actor Kevin Durand, in one of his first leading roles. He plays a small town sheriff haunted by his own past. It might come out as a surprise, but he doesn't make the menacing thug type as usual; he delivers a more than decent performance as a depressed and grieving father.

The Veil is the standard horror movie without scare. Good shot, dark colors, decent acting and a rehearsed plot. There's an outstanding occultism concept hidden behind the uninspired and unoriginal filmmaking.
