Film Review: I Am Legend

2007-12-15 15:52:16 by Editor in The Watchtower of Destruction: The Ferrett's Journal
 
...revert vampires to normal men). Then he goes out to hunt through the ruins of New York Whats happened to New York City is breathtaking. The films at its best when its looking over the decay of civilization, the lush overload of billboards and signs suddenly overlaid with rot and plants. It looks like the grave of all humanity, the final...

...revert to their childlike selves while playing a game of "kick the can"--on November 26, 1982 (five days after Thanksgiving) and shot for six days. From the beginning, Spielberg's heart wasn't in it. Ordinarily almost obsessive in his desire to maintain careful control over every element of the film, Spielberg reportedly didn't attend...

Music Review - The Music Messiah

2007-07-10 17:51:00 by Escape.... Great Escape in My Review Blog
 
...revert the curse of Indira 7. The Music Messiah - The god ponders what to do. Hmm 8. The Omnipresence - Hmmmmmmmmmmm 9. The Sacrament - God tries to re-invent music... to calm the minds of the people. It sounds like mood music / ambient tracks, with Native American shakers and davara tumblers rolling in the background. This Song reaches...

...revert to tired clichés and childish theatrics to get their points across. So when I heard that Marco Kreuzpaintners film Summer Storm was yet another gay coming-out flick, my first thought was, Its probably going to suck. The pleasant surprise, however, is that it doesnt. In fact, its quite good, and I dare say that its the first film of...

The Science of Science Fiction

2007-12-28 04:26:12 by Sam in Slice of SciFi
...revert to human, and back again, also sets me to ponder on the transmutation of flesh to rock, back to flesh, and back to rock. Again, extra mass, lots of energy, and cells changing their chemical composition in milliseconds. Watching The Flame burn hotter than the sun makes me wonder if we could tap him to create wormholes . . . before I...

Euro 2008 Film Festival: Rules, Kick-off

2008-01-15 13:34:00 by Sachin G. in Scribbles and Ramblings
 
...revert to picking players they are familiar with, even if better soccer players are out there. Similarly, it is easy to pick films from directors that I am familiar with. So I want to avoid that by giving chances to newer director's works Try to make some bold selections I want to get some film genres that I would not normally pick just to...

...revert to his former status as a carnival freak is nearly too much to bear, and shifts the story into undue (and unnecessary) pathos. Apart from this aberration, however, Merricks journey remains a fascinating one to watch, and proves that theres nothing more uplifting than watching a character transform and transcend his initial limitations...

...revert back to when they were young, before they lost their innocence. This recapturing of a childhood, to go back in time before everything got so damn complicated, I guess, is the emotional trigger, and it doesn't matter how many time I've watched the DVDs Once Upon a Time is about three kids, pre-teen sister Ohh, her 5- or 6-year-old...

...revert to Gunga Din territory. The surprisingly downbeat ending seems tacked on from another film - Syriana , perhaps - a moral conclusion at odds with the nuance-free operation weve just seen

2008-03-21 10:09:09 by Editor in Ferdy on Films, etc.
...revert to Catholicism to marry Margaret. More repeatedly has to force him to analyse and curtail his own statements and reflect on their consequence like an old-school liberal unionist reining in the radical hippie. Indeed, More must remind himself constantly to be moderate. I do none harm. I say none harm. I think none harm. And if this be...
