Branded (2012)
Good idea, bad implementation.
I'll give one star to the general concept. But overall, i'd rather have just left and seen another movie. Story was very long and drawn out, there was a narrator for half the movie and it was terrible. You don't really see him start seeing the "world" for how it is until close to the end. He only starts seeing these things (which can be called our desires) because he sacrificed a red cow because it came to him in a dream to do so.
I honestly have no idea how that went to theaters in the first place. The trailer to the movie makes it seem like a completely different thing than what it really is. Most of the clips from the trailer are either pointless scenes in the movie or things that really were not dramatic.
Disappointing.
Unknown (2011)
Good thriller, but don't go in expecting more than Taken.
Movie was great, but I think a few things fell a little short.
Like another reviewer, dialog did not match up with what was going on at some parts. Not that it made or break the movie. Especially one part where he says, "I remember how to kill you". Which is said on the trailer of the movie, then he says a-hole after it and it becomes sometimes notttttt so cool to say and kinda made me want to laugh.
Action was great for when it happened, which was NOT the whole movie as somebody else said in their review. It starts kind of slow, but builds up towards middle/ending. Expected a little more from the ending because previous action scenes were better, but it was still good.
Probably one of the few things I did not like about this movie was the camera work. During fast paced scenes and some action scenes it was kinda all over and was hard to follow the characters. The action that I did catch was great though.
It has more of a story and big twist than Taken. Though there is going to be a Taken 2, I would suggest just comparing this to Bournes a little more with a fighting style of Taken. Good movie and worth the money. 8/10 because I only see myself watching it a few times on DVD (same with Taken and Bourne).
Jackass 3D (2010)
Amazing movie. Never stopped laughing.
Title said it all, never stopped laughing.
Definitely a mature movie, includes penises, tons of poop, and tons of ass....oh and dildo's. The poop, as others said was kind of a bit much in certain parts though.
The 3D wasn't a gimmick, it actually showed depth like another user said and gave life to the movie, especially the ending. I like how we also got to know each of the people int he movie and it was actually kind of heartfelt.
By far the most funniest thing was the billy goat or whatever, movie was non stop funny and would definitely see it again or even buy it.
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Movie was fantastic.
Was slow only a few parts, especially when she talks to the camera. But the fight scenes make up for it!
If you have played Resident Evil 5 (the only one I have played), A LOT of zombies look like they do in the game (or movie). Definitely awesome movie. The movie sucked though and didn't have 3D screens, but I am sure it is amazing.
You never really get to know the characters either, most of them die within like five minutes, but that is kind of to be expected.
Was hoping there wasn't another sequel, but this one ended like there was going to be. Inless they all die....50 airships coming in at the end? Give me a break. They are all either dead or get captured.
