Guest Movie Reviews
Heres my buddy Jamie C. with his take on Journey to the Center of the Earth, Hellboy 2 and The Dark Knight
Journey to the Center of Earth in 3-d
I cannot believe most theaters are showing this in 2-d. Out of a 5 star rating the 2-d review would be -1. The worst story, dialogue, effects.the 3-d version I would give 2.5. I love 3d so when I saw the 3-d trailer for this before Beowulf I was excited it seemed they were trying hard to use the effects. The movie was just so family cheese and been done 2000 times before, it was hard to watch. I was in a smaller theater and I was not getting the jump out effects everyone else was. Maybe it was where I was sitting. Also 3-d cost 2 dollars more then normal so I think it was like $11.00, almost 3 gallons of gas. Im not sure it was worth that. Kids would love it so if you got em and have extra money to blow go treat them.
Hellboy 2
If you liked the first one you will love this one he gets rid of all human characters and just deals with monsters, which is always better. I think it drags on a little and I was not impressed with the golden army. Ron Pearlman represents and the main villain is cool to watch. He did rip off most of the monsters from pans labyrinth and you can tell his style. Overall it was good. I was kinda bored by the ending so out of 5 I give it 4.
The Dark Knight
I do not remember a time were a movie was so hyped up. Not only hyped up, it was also getting fantastic reviews. I was scared cause no movie can live up to this. I wanted to see it in Imax but the weekend shows were already sold out. So I settled for the midnight screening on Thursday night.(note the midnight showings grossed 12 million beating Star wars 3 record). All showings were sold out so people were theater hopping trying to find better seats. First thing you notice is this is not your old school Gotham, a dark one block city. This is a full L.A. looking city. the beginning heist takes place in broad daylight. Already starting out different I thought. The movie ends and people stand up and cheer. Its been 4 days now and I'm ready to see it on Imax. with the exception of the music I can't think of anything less perfect. "Maybe the 2nd time I'll catch the music more"Enough Hype has been made so Ill keep it short. When joker first showed up and did his magic trick people in the theater started cheering. When he is not on the screen you miss him. Joker is all that and more. Two face is disturbing and sick and the effects are unreal. It lives up to everything you have heard. So go see it and support the masterpiece that is the Dark Knight. "Why so serious".
