Love it!!!!
9 March 2011
I know the television series is still going, but from the episodes I have seen, I love this series! It's funny, sexy and kicks butt! I was a big fan of Dark Rising and when I heard there was a television series coming out I was definitely excited! I was drawn in from the first episode!

Also Ron Sparks makes a cameo in it where he plays a soldier with a M16 which is so funny! Also all the new futuristic weapons and portals and stuff I really like! Even though the first film was more a deserted forest, this new sci-fi feel is pretty cool! The television is a good adaptation from the movie and is very entertaining! Also it sets you up for the sequel that is coming out this year!

This television series is very well done and a proud Canadian production which is just even better! Definitely a series you will have to check out!

Dark Rising (2007 Video)
10/10
Great Movie!!! Must See!!!!
3 March 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Just got finished watching Dark Rising, a small budget Canadian movie by an independent film company. When I first heard about this movie from a friend I thought it seemed like a movie to check out and boy was I right. This movie has everything, great one liners, hot chicks, violence, horror, and even a lesbian sex scene! What more could you want???

I thought the lead actor Landy Cannon did a very good job of his role as Jason Parks! At the beginning of the film where he was a hopeless romantic, but by the end of the movie there is a complete character change and he becomes this fearless, courageous man, It really did show the character development and went well with the story.

Talking about the story I feel it was very well written and held together pretty well. The plot did have a number of holes, but I didn't find that a problem, I feel the director put the holes in to sorta create your own back ground ideas or sorta to hint to them but keep you guessing.

Now Brigitte Kingsley the main female character who plays Summer Vale, a very sexy, ass kicking, killing machine, created from a secret agency who ran tests on her since she was a child, and she fought demons in another dimension until one of Jason's friends open a portal that releases a demon and Summer back into the real world.

Another cool thing about this movie is wrestler Jay Reso or Christian Cage, is in it! He plays Ricky, a macho, phone dating commercial director. At the beginning of the film Ricky seems to be the macho ladies man, but by the end of the movie he turns out to just be a coward. He will dish out a lot of the comedy and one liners!

To finish off the review I would just like to say that I loved this movie completely, it's great to see independent Canadian film companies making good movies! At the end of the first movie it also hints at perhaps making a sequel, where now I have just learned they they are currently working on a sequel for it, which I am extremely excited to see!

This is a great Canadian made movie! A must see!!!!
