Otelo Burning (2011)
Great S.A. Film
I got the honor of seeing this film at a Pre-Screening before it's release and I was very glad i got that opportunity. The film is set in the late 80's, the apartheid days in South Africa where it follows the story of the 2 boy's Otelo and New Year with their dreams to surf. The film was shot very well giving the the circumstances that some of the scenes involved shooting out at sea. I enjoyed most of the images in the film although i wished they could have shown more scenery of the locations they filmed in. Its understandable as the film is set in the 80's, but I believe they achieved what they wanted to portray.
Characters on the film where enjoyable to watch, Jafta playing Otelo could have done his scenes better as his emotion lacked in some areas of the film, his friend New Year, Narrator of the film did an exceptional job with his character and the narration of the film. The humor was quite funny an enjoyable as well. Overall the film is a fun ride as you get to experience surfing, as seen through the lives of young black teenagers.
This desrves a 8/10. Go out and see the film. Great South African Cinema.
Battleship (2012)
Looks Amazing, But thats just it!
I went to see this film with my lady and I must say, the film looks extremely impressive, by that i'm referring to the visuals. Incredible visual effects and the aliens in this film look very terrifying, coupled with the music, but that's just it for this film.
It felt very rushed towards the end, but maybe that's just me, but i wasn't happy with the abrupt ending. Characters of this film where very flat, i guess blame the writers. One thing I loved was Rihanna's performance in this film, her very first feature and she well looked like a seasoned actor. The rest of the characters where just mehh. Liam Neesen was Liam Neesen, bad ass as always but he simply didn't appear enough, But non the less all the characters carried the film through.
The aliens are super dumb, sorry to say but they are. How the hack do they have such awesome technology beats me. They looked pretty awesome though, but they don seem intelligent enough. The plot was pretty average, "aliens wanna kill us, lets kill them first" kinda thing, that was it really. Its good that there where moments when i thought its over for earth, but yeah, you know the deal. If you liked the Transformers series, I believe you'll like this film cause the visual effects are AMAZING! Life Like.
Go see this film in the theater, its a real visual treat. But you can still catch the Blu-Ray when it comes out.
The Hunger Games (2012)
I expected more really!
I wen't into his film expecting a bit more than what I got. The first 30 minutes of the film was very interesting, I was eager to see what these Hunger Games where gonna be about, sadly I was disappointed. I thought this is more of an adult film, all it was for me was a bunch of kids playing in the jungle.
The story-line and the heart felt characters where a bit entertaining at the least, there's only one moment in the whole film that actually sparked emotion in me, other than that the rest was really average. It started off a a great idea but it all ended in sham. Too many plot holes as well an unmotivated dialog, the film as a whole sounds like a great idea but it wasn't.
Nothing special here, it wouldn't be a loss if you only wait for the DVD of this.
The Avengers (2012)
Truly Perfect Superhero Films..
I went into this movie with very high expectations cause I watched all the trailers about 30 times each. I will say from the very first 10 minutes of the films I was instantly blown away by the action and the course of the story. All the characters in this film get an equal amount of screen time, which is usually the problem in a film where you deal with multiple characters such as in this film. I applaud Joss Whedon for making this Marvel Masterpiece, the way everything fits together in this film is truly amazing and its close to impossible to find any holes in the story. Mr Whedon was the perfect person to have dealt with telling this story as he's a comic book fan, he nailed it 100%. I believe i'm going to see this film again tomorrow, it is just that awesome. Hulk will give you a fun time in this film, watch out!
