Movie Review: The Wolfman

Tuesday, February 16, 2010 0 comments

Synopsis: Lawrence Talbot is a haunted nobleman lured back to his family estate after his brother vanishes. Reunited with his estranged father, Talbot sets out to find his brother...and discovers a horrifying destiny for himself.

Lawrence Talbot's childhood ended the night his mother died. After he left the sleepy Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor, he spent decades recovering and trying to forget. But when his brother's fiancée, Gwen Conliffe, tracks him down to help find her missing love, Talbot returns home to join the search. He learns that something with brute strength and insatiable bloodlust has been killing the villagers, and that a suspicious Scotland Yard inspector named Aberline has come to investigate.

As he pieces together the gory puzzle, he hears of an ancient curse that turns the afflicted into werewolves when the moon is full. Now, if he has any chance at ending the slaughter and protecting the woman he has grown to love, Talbot must destroy the vicious creature in the woods surrounding Blackmoor. But as he hunts for the nightmarish beast, a simple man with a tortured past will uncover a primal side to himself...one he never imagined existed.

Starring: Benicio Del Toro, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Blunt and Hugo Weaving
Directed by: Joe Johnston
U.S. Rating: R

Director Joe Johnston worked on an amazing remake of the classic The Wolfman. He tried to keep the characters, story, period in history and essence offered in this classic from 1941. For this reason, it is not a reboot, sequel or prequel. He didn't try to adapt the story or change the period in history and, everyone agrees that it was the best decision, since it helped to keep the beauty of this film.

I'm honest, I haven't watched this classic from 1941, but I'm so looking forward to watch it! All the comments and information written and offered about this original film express that it is such an amazing horror film.

The Wolfman, for those who haven't watched the original classic from 1941, tells the story of Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro), a well-known actor from London who was raised in the U.S. by his aunt. When he gets a letter from his brother's fiancee, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), letting him know that his brother has been missing for two weeks, he decides to go back to London and find who or what killed his brother.

His search leads him to the gypsies. He tries to find some answers about a horrible attack suffered by a group of men, who were all mutilated. He visits this group and tries to find the relationship or business between his brother and this group of people. While he's trying to find answers, the group is attacked by this fast and deadly mysterious creature. Soon, Lawrence will find himself chasing this creature in the middle of the night, being attacked and injured by this creature.

Lawrence is taken back to his father's house (Anthony Hopkins), who has immediately called the doctor and prepared everything to attend and take care of his son. Gwen takes care of him while he heals in such an accelerated and unusual way. They notice that a sense of attraction is growning in their hearts while he's recovering of these injuries and she takes care of him.

Lawrence starts realizing what happened to him and how it will affect the rest of his life. This information is spread among all the population and he's immediately considered a threat to everyone, but his father protects him from the townsfolk and reveals some secrets kept away from Lawrence and the rest of the world.

The nights before the full moon, Lawrence notices his father walking out to a crypt right next to their home. He decides to follow him and finds some secrets, while his father locks himself in this crypt and leaves Lawrence free. Lawrence soon faces his new reality, when he becomes a furious and dangerous creature who has attacked some people and slaughtered every single animal found on his way. A Scotland Yard inspector arrives to town to investigate the deaths, while all the leads take him to Lawrence and his unnatural healing after being attacked by the beast. He is arrested and placed in a mental institution while the doctors try to get some details about his abnormal physical conditions. His father visits him while he's in prison and reveals him that he's a wolf man too, and he was who killed his mother and brother.

He swears revenge and wants to kill his father. He's taken into a court of scholars and they try to demonstrate that he wouldn't turn into a beast on that night, when the full moon would come out. Lawrence tries to warn them that he would kill them all. As said, when the full moon came out, he transformed into the wolf man, killing everyone and escaped from his imprisonment.

Meanwhile, Gwen meets with Maleva (a Gypsy) where she tries to find a way to lift Lawrence's curse. Both, Lawrence and Gwen revealed their feelings for each other recently and that's her motivation to help and save him from his curse.

Inspector Francis Aberline (Hugo Weaving) follows him and tries to hunt him down, but he escapes. Lawrence arrives at his father's house, who is already waiting for him. Both turn into wolf men and start fighting each other to death. Lawrence kills his father ripping his head off. Gwen runs into the forest, only to be chased down by Lawrence, the Wolfman.

Just as Lawrence is about to attack, she pleads for him to stop, bringing out the slightest of human emotions left in him. But when he hears the nearby mob, he violently panics, losing his restraint. Gwen then shoots Lawrence with a silver bullet and kills him. Before he dies he turns back into a human and spends his last moments with Gwen. The mob arrive and they see Aberline injured, being attacked by the Wolfman just before he's killed. Gwen's parting words are heard as Talbot Manor appears in flames and a wolf's howl is heard, presumably from Aberline.

The Wolfman was an extremely entertaining film, a little bit scary, remaking an amazing plot and the best of all, supported by such a unique and extremely professional cast. Totally recommended!

What did I like from this movie?

1. The sound was more than espectacular! Especially on those scary moments and scenes when the Wolfman attacked his victims
2. The cast was simply amazing
3. Director Joe Johnson made such an amazing work. I'll give even more credits after watching the original film and compare both movies
4. The CGI effects, simply amazing

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. I believe that something was missing or not delivered by Director Joe Johnson and Benicio Del Toro. I believe that Lawrence Talbot should have tried to deliver more emotions and drama about his affliction and pain due to his situation and curse. It didn't affect the overall quality. Other than that... it was such an amazing film

I would rate this movie with a 4/5

The new movie trailer for Director Neil Marshall's latest film, Centurion, has been released. This British film hasn't found a distributor in America yet, but I believe that it will find one any time soon, since it looks simply amazing. I kinda like these films, so I'll be on top of all the updates related with this upcoming film.

Synopsis: Britain, A.D. 117. Quintus Dias, the sole survivor of a Pictish raid on a Roman frontier fort, marches north with General Virilus' legendary Ninth Legion, under orders to wipe the Picts from the face of the Earth and destroy their leader, Gorlacon.

Movie Review: Once

Monday, February 15, 2010 0 comments

Synopsis: A tale that follows 'the Guy', who works part-time helping his father run a small, vacuum cleaner repair business, but dreams of one day having his songs recorded and landing a record deal. Emotionally vulnerable, he is still coming to terms with the recent departure of his girlfriend and lacks the conviction and passion to move on in his pedestrian life. One day, he meets 'the Girl', an Eastern European immigrant who has moved to Dublin to start a new life for herself. Currently working as a house cleaner in an upper-class residence, she is struggling financially. She yearns for what she cannot afford--a piano to help her escape from the daily grind of finding her way through this strange new land. A relationship blossoms between 'the Guy' and 'the Girl', as they're both struggling. Their shared love of music causes them to flourish and grow with a new found confidence as they take a chance on each other and a new beginning on life.

Starring: Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova, Hugh Walsh, Gerry Hendrick, Alastair Foley
Directed by: John Carney
U.S. Rating: R

Well, the truth about this review is that I never meant to watch this movie,in the first place. We received by post two new Blu-Rays from Netflix. I should mention that we never asked or listed this film in our list of movies, we were surprised when we received it. We decided to watch it anyway, since we were just set in from of the TV and ready to watch something and chill for the night.

Once is an Irish film about a guy who works part-time at a vacuum cleaner repair center and plays his guitar and songs on a busy street at nights, trying to move on and coup with the lost of his girlfriend (she's gone, not dead). His dream is to get a record deal and play his music. He meets a girl who is an Eastern European immigrant who moved to Dublin to start over with her life. They get connected through their music and of course, you might guess the rest of the story.

In other words, the film was all about the communication of two strangers through music and the lyrics of the songs they sang. It was actually annoying! I don't know, maybe it was me (since I'm not into musicals), or the film was so slow and boring that I didn't get it. I was bored out of my mind watching it, and I knew how bad it was because my wife Mary, who is a helpless romantic person, couldn't stand this film either.

I took some time just to read a little bit about the film, since it was the first time I heard (and watched) this film. Most of the reviews, critics and comments expressed the best about it, saying that it was one of the best films of the year (2007), a beautiful romantic film that was able to express its beauty through the music and lyrics sung by the lead roles.

I just say that I totally disagree with these reviews, comments and critics. Anyway, if you feel like watching it, do it! I'm just sharing my personal experience, ideas and impressions about the film. Maybe you could be another person out there who thinks it is actually an amazing and romantic film. In my case, I won't recommend the film.

What did I like from this movie?

1. Nothing

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. The girl walking with the broken vacuum everywhere. So annoying and unfunny
2. I didn't know if I was watching a film or a musical. If it was a film, it sucked... if it was a musical, could be considered the worst musical ever

I would rate this movie with a 1/5

The international trailer for Sam Worthington' latest film, Clash of The Titans, has been released. I personally believe that this movie trailer has revealed more material and information from the plot than any of the two previous movie trailers released. It definitely will be one of the great epic films in 2010. I think people will be talking about this film for a while this year.

Synopsis: The ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus is helpless to save his family from Hades, vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus and unleash hell on earth. Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

Lionsgate has released a new international movie trailer for the upcoming film, Kick-Ass. Starring Aaron Johnson, Mark Strong, Xander Berkeley and Christopher Mintz-Plasse alongside Nicolas Cage and Chloe Moretz (Hit-Girl). Definitely one of the most expected action/comedy films this next Spring!

Synopsis: Dave Lizewski, a comic-book fanboy, decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name -- Kick-Ass -- assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There's only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl and her father, Big Daddy.

I should start saying that I'm a huge fan of this great action franchise. I've had the chance to watch every single one of these three films many, many times before, but I watched them as individual films. I never had a chance to watch them all together, as just one big single story. So, trying to enjoy that experience, we decided to have a Bourne week. The great thing about having a Bourne week was that it gave us a different perspective of the story about Jason Bourne and all the journey trying to find the truth about his past.

What love the most of Jason Bourne is the ability and sharpness he shows every time he needs to take a decision and make a move. He barely thinks and uses every single resource found on his way. He's highly trained and able to manage almost any situation. That makes the difference in this story. That's exactly what the director Paul Greengrass and all the production team wanted to offer, reinforce those important details in every single action and decision, making him so unpredictable and extremely dangerous.

Another great thing about the trilogy and story is the ability to move the story and characters from one city and country to another in a matter of just hours, giving the fans the opportunity of experiencing how complex can be the life of a government agent working on a secret mission.

The best of all is that we can get more and more involved in the story with every single new sequel and most important, notice the improvement on the scripts, role performances and situations, making the films and franchise more likable.

By the time I'm writing this review, the good news is that there have been some discussions and conversations about a possible sequel... or prequel. The bad news is that the director Paul Greengrass, involved in two films of the Bourne Trilogy has taken a step back and walked away from these first discussions and, Matt Damon has said that he won't play on a new Bourne sequel/prequel if he's not directed by the same director. So, we'll have to wait and see how these discussions and decisions cross the end line. For all those great lovers of this franchise, I hope it brings back to the big screen Matt Damon, the same director and production team, supported on a strong and amazing script.

We'll see. In the mean time, f you haven't had he chance to watch the trilogy, you must take some time and watch it all! You won't regret it. I personally recommend it :)

What did I like from these movies?

1. The direction and production was simply amazing, especially on the third film. As said before, they got better and better in every single film
2. The cast was perfect. Great selection for this trilogy
3. Matt Damon played such an amazing role in these three movies. He was able to "be" Jason Bourne and deliver the story, experience and journey lived trying to find the truth about his past

What did I dislike from these movies?

1. Nothing at all! Well, I just don't like that they're taking too long to bring a new sequel or prequel of this amazing franchise


The Bourne Identity

Synopsis: The spy thriller opens as an amnesiac is rescued at sea by the crew of an Italian fishing boat. Nearly dead, he carries nothing but the bullets in his back and the bank account number embedded in his hip. Although completely without identity or background, he possesses an array of extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistics and self-defense that speak of a dangerous past. In the present he is disoriented and wary as he is propelled into an urgent search to discover who he is and why his life has taken a perilous turn. A Zurich safe deposit box yields an assortment of passports, a hefty load of cash, an automatic weapon and a name--Jason Bourne--with a Paris address. What it means remains a mystery, but Bourne quickly realizes that although he knows no one, there are people who recognize him--and do not wish him well. When he meets Marie Kreutz, a hard-luck German-born wanderer, he makes a desperate pitch--$10,000 for a ride to Paris. Despite her reservations, Marie takes the cash and begins a journey with Bourne that changes her life forever. The trail of Jason Bourne's past snakes from Europe to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where Treadstone, a clandestine operation is based. As Bourne and Marie struggle to stay below the radar in France, all of the stealthy muscle of Treadstone is focused on tracking them and neutralizing Bourne as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Starring: Matt Damon, Franka Potente, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Brian Cox
Directed by: Doug Liman
U.S. Rating: PG-13

I would rate this movie with a 4/5


The Bourne Supremacy

Synopsis: Two years ago, Jason Bourne thought he had walked away from his past. But now, his past is about to return. Bourne and Marie have maintained their anonymous, underground existence at the cost of permanence. Fueled by splintered nightmares and haunted by the past he cannot remember, Bourne moves Marie from city to city, trying to remain one step ahead of the threat implicit in every unexplained stranger's glance, every "wrong number" phone call--that at any second, without any warning, he might get pulled back into the world he hopes he left behind. When an operative appears in the sleepy village that has been their latest home, Bourne and Marie collapse their lives and head out. His past at the door, their only chance now is to run. But once a line is crossed and the stakes in a new global game of cat-and-mouse are raised, the Jason Bourne created by Treadstone--the covert, now dismantled operation that spawned cold-blooded, professional assassins--returns. Two years ago, Bourne walked away from the deadly world that created him with a promise of retaliation should anyone attempt contact. Now that that world has indeed come calling, Bourne intends to keep his word. They should have left him alone.

Starring: Matt Damon, Franka Potente, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Karl Urban
Directed by: Paul Greengrass
U.S. Rating: PG-13

I would rate this movie with a 4/5


The Bourne Ultimatum

Synopsis: All he wanted was to disappear; instead, Jason Bourne is now hunted by the people who made him what he is--legendary assassin. Having lost his memory and the one person he loved, he is undeterred by the barrage of bullets and a new generation of highly-trained killers. Bourne has only one objective: to go back to the beginning and find out who he was. Now, in the new chapter of this espionage series, Bourne will hunt down his past in order to find a future. He must travel from Moscow, Paris and London to Tangier and New York City as he continues his quest to find the real Jason Bourne--all the while trying to outmaneuver the scores of cops, federal officers and Interpol agents with him in their crosshairs.

Starring: Matt Damon, Joan Allen, Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Paddy Considine
Directed by: Paul Greengrass
U.S. Rating: PG-13

I would rate this movie with a 5/5

Warner Brothers Studio has released a red band movie trailer for Bruce Willis, Tracy Morgan and Seann William Scott's latest film, Cop Out. This action-comedy film is directed by Kevin Smith and promises to bring an action plot loaded with hilarious situations. There are already few critics complaining about this film, since it seems to be too silly for these stars, especially Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan. No matter what these critics say, this film was totally sold since I saw the first trailer. It will be released in just a couple of weeks, so be ready! Definitely a must-see on my list!

Synopsis: Two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter’s upcoming wedding, and Paul (Tracy Morgan) is his “partner-against-crime” whose preoccupation with his wife’s alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.

Release Date: February 26th, 2010
