Dark Remains (2005)
1/10
Only for horror fans with too much time
29 December 2006
I'm writing this because I somehow felt being led to believe Dark Remains was a good movie. Whilst it's not the worst I've seen, it certainly isn't good.

A Weak script, weak actors, and weak directing. Even if they can't afford big name cast, would it be too much to ask for a more attractive lead actress? It was painful to watch a plain actress through out the film with her dull performance. The story was a cliché and poorly scripted. The special effects were minimal. The "suspense" tricks employed repetitively here were hard to swallow.

To be fair, Dark Remains is no worse than quite some of the Masters of Horrors' episodes. But not quite on par with quality movies yet. Dark Remains is only recommended for the hardcore horror fans who don't want to miss any movie in the genre, even if it's a poorly made one. As for anyone else, time should be spent on something more valuable - which should be extremely easy.

Alex & Emma (2003)
7/10
A reminder to the warmth at our heart
27 February 2005
Just want to voice my support for this movie. It doesn't deserve such a low score as it is.

This is much better than I expected. As a matter of fact, some part of me was moved by it. Alex & Emma isn't a great movie, and it's not a masterpiece either, but it's a well produced film nevertheless. Both Luke(who excels at this kind of role) and Kate delivered it well above just being competent. A simple yet warm plot that works, plus a decent directing.

Sometimes we need to be reminded of the simple touch and warmth between us, just to get us going in the walk of life.
