The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (2010) review

Synopsis: As a string of mysterious killings grips Seattle, Bella, whose high school graduation is fast approaching, is forced to choose between her love for vampire Edward and her friendship with werewolf Jacob. Having seen the first two from the Saga, so far, this would be my breakdown of the three- Twilight: easily the best of the bunch so far. New Moon: Utter disappointment, from a Film standpoint, anyway. Eclipse: a slight step up from New Moon, very impressed with many aspects, including the acting, surprisingly. What a segway to begin the review. I'll also state again that this review will be written from a Film standpoint, so none of you hardcore Twi-Hards be hatin' on me. So Eclipse. Although a little slow at the beginning, it picked up a little when it delivered some intense fight scenes between some of the scenes. I was impressed, but I wasn't too thrilled about the CGI in the film. It just didn't work, the scene where the 'transfomed' Jacob is comforting Bella looked pretty effing stupid. There were some funny pieces of dialogue in Eclipse, which, quite surprisingly made me laugh. Kudos to the screenwriters, here. I'll be honest, I did enjoy this installment moreso than New Moon, but still not as good as the oh-so wonderful first film. Lovely film, there were some really bad, stupid moments which made me want to murder everyone in the theatre. 5.5/10 Kazed.

Remember Me review

Remember me Director: Allen Coulter Writer: Will Fetters I,  like most people enjoyed Twilight, and I’m not ashamed to say that.  I did go into this thinking it would be another half decent indie film about relationships love and family. I was, however,  pleasantly surprised watching the film. Remember Me is about Tyler Hawkins (Rob Pattinson) a 21 year old guy living in New York, who doesn’t really see eye to eye with his father and is philosophically advanced than most his age. We see him deal with his pain and struggle and see him help people, in doing so gets him and his roommate arrested. As the story continues we see his relationship with Ally grow, Ally played my Emilie De Ravin. Ally’s story is told at the beginning and without giving too much away she is dealing with some of her own traumatic issues. Her relationship with her father is pretty close, but a drunken night spent at Tyler’s gets her in trouble and she moves out. For me. the relationship between Tyler and his father played by Pierce Brosnan was amazing; the boardroom scene was gripping, and for a moment I was mesmerised by what was going on. But the one who stole the film for me was Tyler’s little sister Caroline, we see her dealing with her own issues of being different and troubled at such a young age, for her performance alone would recommend going to see it. Finally, the ending. If you pay close attention throughout the entire film you might just see it coming, however I was so captivated by the story I did not, so it hit me when you see what happens. There were subtle hints though; the eerie music which did foreshadow what was going to happen. I was happy it wasn’t a clichéd ending which at one point thought it was heading towards. It was better much better. Overall I would say its worth going to watch, decent and enjoyable, great story and a wonderful cast. 8/10 Muni

Twilight Review

If I'm going to be completely and utterly honest, I was excessively hesitant to watch this film, simply because, well, I didn't really have a reason. I saw it from a negative perspective, but within the first 20 minutes of the film I was hooked into it. So Twilight is about a girl, Bella Swan, who moves from the hot, scorching wasteland that is Arizona(No, I kid), and moves to a small town, Forks, close to Washington. She encounters a 'young' man by the name of Edward Cullen, who seems a little angry at the world, or maybe at his hairstyle. So they both fall in love, and she discovers that Edward is actually a Vampire who has been alive for quite a while. A while means a couple of hundred years or so. So Edward loves her alot, and seems to be incredibly insecure or something, because he can't seem to stand it when she's around other Males. Bella gets into trouble a couple of times, and Edward saves her. Granted, I haven't read the book(s) by Stephanie Meyer, but generally, when a book has been adapted for a script, the book is usually better. Of course, like I said, I haven't read it, so my opinion won't count for that element. There were several elements of this film that I really enjoyed, and still fresh in memory right now.  One, and the main one I though, was the film gave me an impression of an Indie film. Alot of it seemed so organic, and fresh- until they introduced the vampire. Once the establishment of Edward's 'powers' had become apparent, the interest curve had dropped, quite steeply. Not so much that I wasn't interested in the film, just enough so I wanted to almost 'block out' said scenes. I admired how there was a certain 'innocence', if you will, about the romance between the two, until they began smothering each other in her bedroom. It regained some of it back, to some degree, but it was refreshing, it wasn't a clichéd concept, just a number of elements within the film which were all too redundant(the bland, all-too-familiar clichés, a girl who enters a school and seems to be clumsy and inept at pretty much everything, the girl who falls with the alleged 'hottest guy in school')and I've seen far too many times alternated and adapted for different plots. I think another reason why I was drawn to this while watching was most probably the fact that it was directed by Catherine Hardwicke, Director of 'Lords of Dogtown', a film which will be reviewed in the near future, and quite possibly in my top 10 of all time. I did, however, feel that Stewart's acting wasn't as 'organic' as the film itself, and she seemed to struggle a slight bit at one particular scene, where she was lying in the hospital bed, I got a little confused when she was trying to emote her anger to Edward. Robert Pattinson seemed to be doing almost the same thing, and had a depressed teen thing happening, yet another cliché which wasn't at all required. All in all, it was an interesting film to watch, yes, it had it's downers and it's clichés, but which film doesn't? Good film, respectable acting, familiar plot lines with characters who screamed  cliché, Twilight sort of lived up to the extensive build-up. 7/10 Kazed
