Sword of Vengeance (2015)
I would kick out the music composer
I don't think I'll be giving away much of the movie but, just to be on the safe side - this review may contain >>SPOILERS<<.
The whole movie has a Skyrim-like atmosphere which is why I stayed with it 'till the end. The greyish landscape, the structure of the settlement, weapons, armor - on spot. The plot could have been a bit deeper and I would cut out some of the flashback scenes. Other than that the writing regarding the plot is fine. The story, however, could have been a million times better. They could even take some risks and end up with a story that would remind the audience of some other existing movies.
Some of the actors were just... plain... dreadful! Sorry guys, but Romain and Artus had the poorest lines and line interpretations. I couldn't make myself believe a thing they said. Horrible. The only thing worse than this was the music. Wrong on any level imaginable. Wrong timing, wrong genre, wrong volume... It made me mute the film more than once.
I won't go into history and facts, it wasn't important to me as I watched the movie. It slightly reminded me of "Hammer of the Gods". Left me with the same feeling of unfinished story. I will not watch it again, once was enough but if you're looking for some light movie night, some sword fight - your choice could be right.
Mr. Morgan's Last Love (2013)
Real life love, real life pain
I don't know why but I instantly recognize movies directed by women. There is something in the way they begin or the feeling they evoke right from the start and you know then - this is going to be an emotional one.
There are very few things I didn't like in it. For example, some scenes could have been shorter or some dialogues a bit clearer (although they give you space to imagine some of the conversations as you wish), maybe the story-line was, at moments, predictable but overall I liked everything. In this last few years I have found that dramas don't touch me as they used to. Maybe because all good stories have been worn-out on screen, I don't know. Yet, there is something about this one that made me watch it without blinking. Something in the human relations and the scenery in a combination with perfectly added music that reminded me of everyday life and made me think "yes, this could easily happen to you".
Since I don't want to write too much and unintentionally reveal a part of the story I will just say - give this movie a chance. If you like it after 10 minutes you will end up loving it.
Room on the Broom (2012)
Great for children.
Sometimes it's hard to go back and watch something through the 'eyes of a child'. If you are over 15 years of age, this animated, short movie may not hold your attention at all and that's fine. Its aiming audience are children and I believe they'll think it's perfect. The story is not complicated - anyone can understand it and the main idea in it is friendship. There are repetitive dialogues with few alterations and everything is rhymed. The main characters are a witch and a cat... At least at the beginning. (: For those of you who don't know, the movie is based on a book.
I will end this review by recommending it to all, no matter how big or small and whoosh! I am gone. (:
True Blood: Radioactive (2013)
Everything but great finale
I am so deeply disappointed, I don't even know where to begin... Up 'till episode 9 I was thinking "O.K., this might end up just well". Not well like fairy tale ending, but tense enough, smart enough, intriguing enough to give you that feeling of not being able to wait for the next season. That DID NOT happen... What we saw (and here the spoilers begin) was kicking out characters off the show, brutally killing them, without any sense and connection to the previous happenings. I mean, come on - Eric is on fire while sunbathing? A 1000-years-old vampire doesn't know better? One more thing (that I am not sure if I approve or deny) is how Warlow turned out to be. Was it great that they kept his really dark side secret, or was it just a twist made up in the moment because they were out of ideas? I'm confused about that one but I'm 100% mad how King of all Fairies just popped out in the bathroom. He did it, not 20 years later ladies and gentlemen, no - just a few days after he was tossed through the portal. The nearly-drained (grand-grand...)grandpa really showed Warlow how it's done. Ovations please * * * Thank you.
Let's jump six months later, shall we?
Billith is definitely gone and mister Compton is back with his first book in which he exposes himself and everyone he knows in, let's say, 500 pages? Everything since Hep-Videmia started is black on white inside that book. Good for him. A public journal. And Sookie ends up with Alcide RIGHT AFTER we saw him being the "shoulder to cry on"? That was certainly not predictable... Noooo. I was so surprised... Not! What else can we learn from this last episode? For one, if you work really hard you can become mayor in six months. At least that is what Sam taught us. His campaign must have been "vampires are bad" right until this last one where he stated there are good vampires and bad vampires (and the bad ones, as you will see or have already seen, are not sickly vamps who can not move like Nora couldn't but pi**ed off, raging vamps who can not get enough death, blood and revenge). The proposition of humans pairing with good vampires for mutual benefit did not pass as well as he hoped. And I literally rolled on the floor laughing when that was brought up, but not as much as when I heard Bill saying "bright eyes" later that same day...
I will end this review by saying that this episode was the worst in the TB series and if this turns up to be Billith's vision, I will hate it even more. Thank you for reading.
