The Condemned (2007)
Complete waste of time and money
I just went to see this movie and was very disappointed that I spent money on it. The movie is very predictable. The acting, what acting? Steve Austin, needs to stick to wrestling. The other characters were almost blank sheets. The only other ones they even tried to develop were the producer and his main assistant. The cinematography is very lacking, they could have used steady-cams in a few places. The violence is extreme and repetitive.
Spoiler Warning: After All how many different ways can you come up with to kill people with an anklet bracelet bomb. I could see how the movie was going to end almost before it started. Please do not see this movie in the theater. I would not even bother with the DVD.
Serenity (2005)
wow
The title of my comment says it all. I never watched the TV series Firefly so I wasn't up to par on the story line. That doesn't really at all. The movie easily can stand alone. It is an excellent space action/adventure movie. Now if you are a fan of Buffy or Angel you will be able to tell that this movie was written by Josh Whedon, even if you didn't already know it. There is a certain style of writing that just screams this was written by Josh Whedon. Throuhout the movie there are places where you think a little bit of tension is coming but instead you get a bit of comedy. For instance when Mal asks Jayne if he wants to run the ship. Jayne says yeah. and Mal just responds "well you can't." An excellent movie overall.
