Silent Hill
|
|
Went on Monday with my friend Audra to see Silent Hill and I would say that it was actually a well put together movie. Radha Mitchell who plays Rose looks looks a lot like Heather from Silent Hill 3, which made this movie better for all the fans of the game. It has also been mentioned that many of the soundtracks used in the Silent Hill games were used in this movie. Sean Bean also did an excellent job as well. Overall, the cast in this movie was amazing (really close to the characters in the game) and if they make a sequel, it will make for a good movie.
Okay, so I guess I give this one a 6 out of 10. You really have to be a fan of the Silent Hill game series in order to really enjoy this movie fully. I happened to play/watch the first two Silent Hill games and have to say that I liked watching this film, but thought it was no where close to as suspense level/scaryness as the game series. Bottom line: If you enjoyed any of the Silent Hill games, you will like this film. If you are a fan of horror films, this one is also for you cause it isn't your typical stupid scary movie.

Mission Impossible: III
|
|
Well, well, well, on to the first Summer blockbuster of the season. Probably the most anticipated movie of the summer (at least for most critics). Mission Impossible: III was definately on the list of big movies to see this year for me and I have to say that I wasn't as impressed with this one as I was MI:II. This movie lacked something that makes all Mission Impossible movies shine. I would definately say that this one was better than the first mission, but has nothing on the second. I don't want to give much of the plot away so I will make this vague but detailed. Tom Cruise, did an excellent job as always in the role of Ethan Hunt, and it was nice to see Ving Rhames back in action, however, I liked his character in the second mission a whole lot better. Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) is also in this film and I am happy to see him back in a decent action film again (it's nice to see some producers not hold a gruge against what Laurence says about America). The villians in this movie are clever and the plot, as always, takes some nice twists at the end.
So... I guess after all that and in honor of Tom, I have to give this movie a Scientology 7 out of 10. :) Yeah, just a 7, maybe even a 6.5 but Scientology 7 is funnier. So if this trend continues (especially if X:3 or DaVinci Code disappoints) then I will have to stop getting my hopes up for any good movies this Summer and wait for Talledga Nights with Will Ferrell and Cars to come out in the Fall.
