riddick

riddick


synopsis

Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick's past.


Where to begin this film is a bore!
Starting off with a little summary of what happened from the end of the last film till why he has yet again been marooned on a planet alone. Except he finds a dog mans best friend i don't think that the character of Riddick needs a pet as he is suppose to be a lone man. So he has got rusty and has to go back to basics training yawn who cares, then a dangers coming and needs to get off the planet so it has shades of the first film which people enjoyed (i did too) but tries mixing it up alittle by Ridick not working with these people unlike the 1st but taking them out. They eventually get along and get off the planet with a few hiccups.

This was one of those films where it didn't have my attention and done other things too predictable and seen it done before by the previous films.


Dont watch.

Yes its back for its second season, feels like forever since the last season, for me its come back at the right time as Sons Of Anarchy and Boardwalk Empire has finished for their current seasons. So this fills my void of Violence strong language and nudity.  
The first episode kicks off straight away from where it left off pretty much with the repercussions of the carnage and showdown. Yet it doesn't really tell us what to expect from this season but if you loved the first season then you know its gonna be full of twist and turns.


Heres the trailer for first season


carrie remake 2013

Carrie



Synopsis

A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White, a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother, who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.




Okay i am late to the table with this as its been out a while but still wanted to watch it.

Having seen the original a few years back thought i would give this a punt, the original was ok for a piece in its time however it doesn't hold up to much today. You would think could be better, however its just updated and has the same feel but modern the only touch i did like which was different was at the end instead of her reaching through the grave she reaches through sue's stomach. Nice




The casting was pretty good with Julianne Moore playing the mother and Chloe Grace Moretz as the daughter carrie, all other castings for bitchie girls and jocks are nobodies to be fair but played there parts well. What was weird was seeing Chloe as a vulnerable character as opposed to her Hit-girl character who is so badass and doesn't have soft side, hopefully this has opened her up  more roles in films in future.

So overall the remake was good but the film just ain't that great.
