AppId is over the quota

House of 1000 Corpses is a 2003 exploitation horror film directed and written by Rob Zombie. It stars Sid Haig as Captain Spaulding, Bill Moseley as Otis Driftwood, Sheri Moon as Baby Firefly, Karen Black as Mother Firefly, and Chris Hardwick as Jerry Goldsmith.

The story takes place around Halloween 1977. Four friends are on the road in search of off-beat roadside attractions. They stop for gas and encounter Captain Spaulding, a vulgar clown and owner of the gas station. He shows them his "Museum of the Strange" and tells of the local legend of Dr. Satan. He was a doctor who tortured and killed his victims. He was later hung from a tree Spaulding claims is not far from the attraction. The group goes in search of the tree and pick up a hitch hiker named Baby Firefly. The tires are blown out and they are forced to seek out Rufus, Baby's half-brother, who can fix the car. Meanwhile, Baby's family takes in the four friends and treats them to dinner and a show. After Baby flirt with the men in the group, one of the girls takes exception and insults Baby. At this time, Rufus returns and says the car is fixed. They try to escape but other members of the Firefly family capture and bring them back to the house, where they torture the four people.

The viewer can pretty clearly tell that this is Rob Zombie's managerial debut because he had virtually no. movie experience and he needed a relatively simple method to promote the film, which may be why he something to make it an exploitation film, as it is in every sense of the word. For those of the readers who do not know what an exploitation film is, it is a film that primarily employees graphic violence, gore, and sex. It focuses on "sensationalist" behavior, of which House of 1000 Corpses clearly contains with all the realistic torture scenes and the explicit nudity seen periodically throughout the film.

Another fascinating feature the writer noticed in this movie was the very similar plot sequence to another film released nearly 30 years prior, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In that film, a group of kids have because disorder and, while searching for help, encounter a cannibalistic family in a secluded rural area. One by one, they are captured and mutilated with a chainsaw. Perú in House of 1000 Corpses, another group runs into another secluded family after having the tires of their vehicle blown out. They are taken prisoner, tortured, and, eventually, killed. As the reader can see, both films follow the same pattern with the because breaking down and the meeting with a mysterious family in the middle of nowhere who torture and kills them.

To wrap, if you seek a film with the "sensationalist" behavior factor and a similar plotline to an old classic, then House of 1000 Corpses may be what you're looking for!

Critique de film : immortels

AppId is over the quota

The movie 'Immortals' will hit the screens on 11th November 2011. We will be taken through a great story involving revenge, treachery and destiny by the director Tarsem Singh (also director of The Fall and The Cell). This magnificent and classy 3D displays thrilling action adventure movie. The main stars of 'Immortals' are Superman Henry Cavill, beautiful Indian Freida Pinto, the fine-looking Twilight fame Kellan Lutz and Mickey Rourke. This cast will certainly make this successful movie.

Many centuries following the Gods' victory over their battle against the Titans, another evil now threatens to come upon the land. Crazy with the power he possess, King Hyperion (played by Mickey Rourke) has raged a war against all humanity. Gathering an army of soldiers who were disfigured by the King himself and bloodthirsty, he has looked everywhere in Greece seeking the famous Epirus Bow; This bow is known to be a weapon of incredible power forged by Ares in the heavens. It is only the person who has possession of this bow that can let the Titans loose; the Titans have been held captive buried within the Mount Tartaros walls since the beginning of time and is now thirsty for revenge. If the king gets possession of the bow he would cause destruction to come upon mankind and totally destroy the Gods. But as ancient law commands, Gods should not get involved in the conflict between men. They have no power to stop Hyperion... then Theseus (played by Henry Cavill), a peasant emerged as their one hope. He was very discreetly chosen by the god Zeus and expected to save the lives of his people from King Hyperion and his multitude. Getting together a group of fellows from outside - which include priestess and visionary Phaedra (played by Freida Pinto) as well as Slavic sneaky Stavros (played by Stephen Dorff), this one hero will either successfully lead the rebellion or stand by and look at his homeland being destroyed and his Gods fade away into legend.

Theseus meets with the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra whose troubling visions regarding the future of the young man prove to her that he is the key to stopping the devastation. With the help of Phaedra, he gathers a small group of and accepts his destiny in a last and desperate fight for humanity's the future.

From looking at the teaser trailer I can let you know that brutality exists, but it is not hyper-masculine. No one will scream out the name of their hometown and toss someone into a bottomless pit. Rather you will notice the lovely, striking visuals that Singh has become popular for from his earlier films The Fall and The Cell.

People should really accept the idea of young and handsome-looking gods a fair chance. A famous design of Greek gods is that they are insignificant and vain so it makes absolute sense that they would look beautiful and Immortals in young. I find the thoughtfulness behind the decision of how to present the gods encouraging. I am hopeful that as there is no doubt that Immortals will look splendid, there will be nice-looking madness.

Review real steel

AppId is over the quota

Wolverine was my favorite comic book superhero when I was a kid in the 90's. When they made the first X - Men movie back in 2000, I adopted Hugh Jackman as one of my favorite actors because of that. As his career continues, he's trying to do other things. His most recent movie is evidence of that and is based on a short story about robots that was called Steel. When you think of movies about robots, you might think of some kind of Terminator or Transformers type stuff. I don't believe that too many people would be thinking about a movie with any kind of heartfelt story being involved. Well that's exactly what they tried to do with the movie Real Steel.

Set in the near future, humans are replaced in the world of boxing by robots. A former fighter himself, dead beat dad Charles Kenton (Hugh Jackman) is now a promoter in these underground robot boxing matches. He's in debt and in serious trouble with the people that he owes money to. Even more is added to his list of problems when his ex-girlfriend dies and he is thrust into the life of his young his that he barely even knows. With all of these problems coming at him from different angles, Kenton has to pull his career together and find out how he can redeem himself by trying to fix the professional and personal problems in his life.

Real Steel is a vibrant and lively movie that's built on its high energy and personality. It's a family friendly film that focuses more on the relationships in the lead character's life rather than the fight scenes. They do put a lot of focus on the fights and you won 't be disappointed if that's what you want to see. As fun as the action might get at times, the soul of the film comes from the actors. These guys put on some impressive and heartfelt performance. This is what you'd like to see as far as casting is concerned. Virtually every actor in this film made their characters believable. I wish the casting of every movie was properly done like it was in Real Steel.

In the end, Real Steel is a movie about fathers and sons. You can say that it's also about personal growth and how we as people can improve ourselves. This film attempts to inspire and entertain with this story. You can also see all of the effort that was put forth to make this movie work and country it off in my opinion. There are things in this movie that might be familiar to some, but it's a film that brings enough of its own personality and heart to the table. It does its best to show off the talent and ability of pretty much everyone involved and I was impressed with how well the finished product off cam.

L'examen de la chose (2011)

The thing is a film released in 1982. 29 years later, Hollywood has decided to revive this franchise with a new film called The Thing. Despite the titles being the same, the recently released film is actually a prequel to that of 1982 and not a remake.

In this version of The Thing, a paleontologist named Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) joined a group led by Dr. Sander Halvorson (Ulrich Thomsen) to study a stranger found frozen and apparently dead. When foreign wakes up after an experiment, the crew must stop before it kills all the members of the zone. A great dilemma this once they realize that this alien can reproduce any person and may become completely in this particular person with a simple touch.

It had to be holes in this film to work and let me tell you, there are a lot of them. Not only these holes clearly visible, but they begin right after the crew finds the form of extraterrestrial life at the beginning of the film. When we see first foreigner, it is stuck in a giant ice block. They decide to drill a hole in the ice for a DNA sample.

They have no idea what kind of disease this thing can have or if it is contaminated with something that does not tolerate the human body, but is not stopped or even slow down. After years of training, one might think that scientists and doctors would be wise enough to use protective measures when dealing with something that they know nothing about right? Not even to the thing. They use gloves, masks or anything when they deal with this situation.

Of all the defects and holes that had this film, it was far from all the greater. I have him, because almost all others using as examples would be literally ruin the rest of the film. They have not completely had they tried to make this film seems plausible when the story is based on the things that just can't or would not.

This prequel to the thing shows us why Hollywood should simply leave some franchises. Reboots, to manufacturing and préquelles are fine when they were completed to the right, but it is not very good and would be forgotten sooner than later. For the only entertainment value, it is not a terrible film. The problems for me comes from the film lacks common sense and being too obvious and significant defects. I was hoping that it would be better than what it was. He started very well, but he lost a little steam purchase after a certain time. If you want to just watch a film for his foolish pleasure, then the thing could fit the Bill. If you are looking for something that has a meaning, or something that is at least a little frightening you'll probably disappointed, because you will get with this film.

Note: 4/10.
