Movie update!



Movies haven't been the main entertainment in our place lately so I haven't had to many movies to review but we did squeeze in a few so here goes. First off we watched Neowolf. It was horrible, seriously one of the worst movies I have seen in a long time. When an aspiring rock musician Tony returns to his college town to make up with his estranged girlfriend Rosemary, he finds his life taking an unexpected turn to the dark side. When he encounters a mysterious rock band Neowolf led by rocker Vince and the alluring band girl Paula, things just take a turn. When Rosemary's best friend Kevin turns up dead, Rosemary seeks out a Nursery owner Mrs. Belakov who knows the secrets of an ancient evil. I do not recommend this one at all. I give it a -5. 




Avatar: First off I will admit I never really wanted to see this when it came out. I truly wanted to hate it just because of everything I had read and seen just didn't so anything for me and I felt that it was a bit over rated. Well it came out on dvd and since we just got a PS3 we rented it on blue ray and yes is it is a good movie. Not the best movie ever but still good. The story line is pretty good but visually amazing and the creatures are my favorite part. I def. say check this out if you haven't already. When his brother is killed in a robbery, paraplegic Marine Jake Sully decides to take his place in a mission on the distant world of Pandora. There he learns of greedy corporate figurehead Parker Selfridge's intentions of driving off the native humanoid "Na'vi" in order to mine for the precious material scattered throughout their rich woodland. In exchange for the spinal surgery that will fix his legs, Jake gathers intel for the cooperating military unit spearheaded by gung-ho Colonel Quaritch, while simultaneously attempting to infiltrate the Na'vi people with the use of an "avatar" identity. While Jake begins to bond with the native tribe and quickly falls in love with the beautiful alien Neytiri, the restless Colonel moves forward with his ruthless extermination tactics, forcing the soldier to take a stand  and fight back in an epic battle for the fate of Pandora. I give this one a 10. 




Descent 2: I was super excited about this movie since I love the first one. It is really hard to find new school horror movies that are amazing like the first one. The second one ended up being really good for being part 2. It picked up where the last one ended and had a few of the same cast members. The ending was a little predictable but I still enjoyed it. Distraught, confused, and half-wild with fear, Sarah Carter emerges alone from the Appalachian cave system where she encountered unspeakable terrors. Unable to plausibly explain to the authorities what happened  or why she's covered in her friends' blood, Sarah is forced back to the subterranean depths to help locate her five missing companions. As the rescue party drives deeper into uncharted caverns, nightmarish visions of the recent past begin to haunt Sarah and she starts to realize the full horror and futility of the mission. Subjected to the suspicion and mistrust of the group and confronted once more by the inbred, feral and savagely ruthless Crawlers, Sarah must draw on all her inner reserves of strength and courage in a desperate final struggle for deliverance and redemption. I give this one an 8.
