V for Vendetta: I think that a movie adaptation should be seen as that, a different work of art that may deal with similar issues but will never substitute the literary (in this case graphic novel) nature. Read it, first or later, but ALWAYS read the work because imagination is always BETTER. Tha said, I think that the movie is powerful as it puts in perspective todays political issues. Yes, it takes the anarchy/dictatorship thing from the original work and rips it apart, but right now the reality is based on terrorism, and that is what most people can relate to… Good or bad, it works as it brings to screen a compelling tale that leaves you with plenty of food for thought. Highly recommended! Go see it!
UltraViolet: What a mayor disappointment! Why Milla Jovovich did it? I guess she has joined the fans that adores her body, that’s got to be it. This movie has no deep plot, no originality, no punch… Just awesome wardrobe changes… all of the same clothing in different colors. I loved the hair/clothing color tones which had to do with the ambience of the movie, BUT… HEADACHE! HEADACHE! Damn, I expect more from the star of 5th Element and Resident Evil. Milla, we love your body but… enough is enough.
In the Korean horror corner, movies of inanimate cursed objects that thrill on blood :
The red shoes: A twist on the original tale of Hans Christian Andersen… Red shoes with a vengueance… They select who will wear them, and if they don’t like you, you are dead.
The wig: I laughed at the idea, but somehow it can work… A mute sister gives her younger sister a gift to sheer her up as she is a cancer patient and has lost her hair due to the cancer radiation therapies… The wig’s original owner, who died of course, is out in a blood curse... Seems interesting enough.
Upcoming horror attractions:
I can’t wait for Silent Hill, Stay Alive, and the Hill has Eyes. Silent Hill being the top priority, of course…
