Identity (2003)
clever little thriller movie, but not original
Identity is a very interesting film as it manages to create a very good atmosphere, where fear and darkness is always in the air. it has a good script, the acting is strong, and its not the average type of slasher film that ussually come out of america, so it stands out. However this movie is not at all original, no matter how well done its filmed. It actually reminds me 3 films and i think it has taken their basic ideas and made it into one movie. Those are final destination, ussual suspects and primal fear. Final destination gives the idea of the patern of the deaths with the key numbers, ussual suspects gives the idea of the fake character story that all have something in common and you dont discover this till the end, and primal fear the multiple personality aspect. offcource it borrows things from other films too, like from hitchkok's type of films, with the single location type of shooting and spooky atmosphere and more.....
so to sum up, i really enjoyed this movie, cusack and liota are 2 actors i dont really like a lot, but their performances here were prety good. Well worth to check, i give it an 8 and if it was more original it would have been higher
No Good Deed (2002)
Bad script, bad acting, stupid plot, lovely breasts!
rented this cause of the cast. hadn't heard anything about this movie, no wonder why. In a few words, it is awful, the acting is very average, below average i would say, especially if you consider the actors in it,and that is offcource due to the bad script and stupid plot. The story starts with samuel playing cello!! as he is a wannabe musician, and he is also a grand theft cop. the neighbor comes in and convinces him to look for her dissapeared daughter. he has a photo of her and her boyfriend and goes on to look for them on turk street. He ends up in a house where some criminals live and are planing to rob a bank and think that he is after them, while he is not. The robers are an old couple, a psycho guy with bad temper, mila jojovic and tairon, the brain of the operation apparently. The plan they have for robing the bank is verry unconvincing, and thats a very weak part of the movie. The other weak part is the relationships between the characters, which is also silly and unconvincing. There is no chemistry between the characters and the whole story just sucks, the acting and the script doesnt help either. The ending is crap too.
To sum up, avoid, nothing here to see (except of the breasts of mila jojovic lol!)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
boring, dark, bad plot and should be PG 12!!
hmmmm is that a movie adressed to children?? Well i dont consider my self as the sensitive type, dont have kids and i like movies of tarantino type, buuutt i found this movie to be awfull for kids. Voices shouting i want blood, i want to kill, an elf that hits itself all the time, banging his head on everything, scary snakes, killing, hanging cats, bloody messages on the wall, words kill and death been said to the movie like a 100 times, i mean what did this movie offer to children??? It was just too dark and with awfull scenes. If i had a small kid i would never allow to see this! As for the plot it was boring, i lost interest very fast, not amusing at all, not a single joke in it to lighten things up(though kenneth tried to bring some comic relief but it wasnt enough). Poter 1 was way better than this one.
And to give some credit to it, the specal effects were amazing, but nothing else in there. This should be PG 12
