BD Horror News - Guilermo del Toro's 'Don't Be Afraid of the Dark' Shooting Info

Wow Del Toro's next movie (as Producer) is going to start filming in May, sounds like another Vampyre movie! I love Vampyres... Del Toro co-wrote the script, so I have high hopes for this movie... I'll post a little mo0re about the director Del Toro has chosen later, but he seems quite capable...

Marley And Me

This movie's taken a lttle while to finally make it over to the UK, after being in the States for quite a while before hand, and I was quite excited to see it after hearing that it topped the box office in America...


Synopsis

After their wedding, newspaper writers John and Jennifer Grogan move to Florida. In an attempt to stall Jennifer's "biological clock", John gives her a puppy. While the puppy Marley grows into a 100 pound dog, he loses none of his puppy energy or rambunctiousness. Meanwhile, Marley gains no self-discipline. Marley's antics give John rich material for his newspaper column. As the Grogans mature and have children of their own, Marley continues to test everyone's patience by acting like the world's most impulsive dog.

Written by Ken Miller

Starring: Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston Directed by: David Frankel

Storyline: 3 Stars


Just a simple American storyline, nice and easy to follow!


Emotions: 5 Stars


This is truly the movie's strong point... I think I'd have to say that it was the most emotional ending in the whole history of cinema... people were very audibly weeping at the end!


Humour: 3 Stars


Some really funny parts scattered throughout...


Conclusion


If you like a nice bit of emotion in your movies, you've certainly come to the right place, you bound to cry however hard your heart may be!

Definaely worth the watch at any rate!

Well well, a bit more about Dakota Fanning... really enjoying having her in the spotlight at the moment...

Perhaps another movie with Kristen Stewart after she's finished filming New Moon?

Watchmen

I'm finding this movie particularly hard to review, it's such a complex movie, and quite incomparable to other movies...

If you are dead sick of the usual Hollywood movies, and are dying for something original, I think you've come to the perfect place, and you can jack the rating up to about a 4 Star or even a 5.

The movie certainly comes across to me as being a thinker's movie, and discusses some pretty hardcore philosophical subjects. But also scattered throughout is some great no-brainer fight sequences...

I'd have to recommend you read the book before you view the movie, as I went without previouly reading the book, and found the storyline a bit too disjointed.

I went to the cinema hoping to see something quite simular to 300, as it is the same director, but it's something quite different, but nevertheless, I think they chose the perfect director for the movie... I still prefer 300, but that's just my own personal preference...


Synopsis


"Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?"

Written by T-Hen


Starring: Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson Directed by: Zack Snyder


Fantasy Take


Some great characters, quite original, but I reckon, like my previous review of Franklyn, that this movie is just perhaps a little too weird and doesn't make enough sense...


Storyline: 2 Stars


I think this movie could have a great story if it were a little bit easier to watch for the general viewer... Storline's just a little too disjointed for my liking...


Graphics: 5 Stars


Superb graphics, you really need to watch the movie to understand how good these graphics are!


Acting: 3 Stars


All reletively unknown actors... They did pretty well though...


Music: 2 Stars


There were one or two great musical moments, but there were a few parts where I just didn't think the music conveyed the right emotions...

There is also one little annoying part where the music seemed to tell the audience that the movie was over when there was about half an hour yet to go, conveying a false ending, which repulsed my senses to the real ending.


Emotions: 3 Stars


There are some pretty emotional parts in this movie, but it's not the selling feature...


Action: 4 Stars


Like in 300, Zack Snyder is well able to carry out some great action sequences, and for folks like me who enjoy a bit of blood and gore with their movie, you are in for a treat!

Random Observation

Mr Manhatten's penis is bigger than mine!


Conclusion


Although there are some great parts to this movie, I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, just to people that are dying for something new and different!
