Pathfinder

I just finished watching Pathfinder, and I was very dissapointed. The film was very dark, not only dark in a violent way but there was almost zero lighting. It looked like they were trying to copy 300 in the way they portrayed blood and everytime there was a huge kill (beheading, or slow motion death) they would use the CGI blood. They almost portrayed the main character is a god, setting up deathly traps in short periods of time, swimming in below freezing water for at least 10mins and surviving. I'm not too familiar with Pathfinder but if he is supposed to "unhuman" they in no way showed this.

Halloween

This past friday I saw Rob Zombie's take on Halloween. The movie was very disturbing and the thing that always stood out that was different from the previous version was that the boy seemed to be shown as a caring person the first 30 or 45mins of the movie. Rob Zombie slowly eased us all into what we knew to be inevitable, the boy slowly started to change in front of our eyes and we started to see his darker side with his obsession with masks and injuring being lower than him. But, what I liked is that Rob portrayed his change by the camera zooming in on his face and he slowly lowers his mask over his face which put him in "kill mode".

Movie Blog #1

In the movie The Ex the main character Tom played by Zach Braff, he was constantly being put down by his wifes ex boyfriend Chip, who is disabled from the waist down. Throughout the movie Tome is constantly disbelieved and ridiculed because no one will believe what he's saying about Chip, because Chip has been around the business much longer than Tom has. There is one scene where all that is tested, Tom's wife goes to her parents house and Tom quickly chases after her and desperately tries to explain himself and tell everyone what he's found out about Chip but Tom quickly finds out that Chip is also at her parents house to help Tom's wife deal with what's going on.
