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.

Kazed Blogs #3/High School Musical review

Previously, on Kazed Blogs:

I’m going to watch High School Musical, yes. Yes, I’m going to watch the very thing I’ve been verbally destroying since 2006. <shudder>

So here’s what’ll happen- I’m going to watch them, and once I have, I’ll write another blog. I realise I can never go back on this, which is why it’s been solidified on the internet.

So I watched the first High School Musical, and made 2 sides of notes while doing so. The notes I made were basically comments- negative comments, at that. I'm going to quote them as closely as I can, because they seemed vital to my views of the film. Let's make it easier- I'm gonna bullet this one out. Quicker, easier.

• Zac Efron is SO GAY.
• Starting off- random song. I honestly just have no idea why...or how...it makes prefect sense for Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella(Vanessa A. Hudgens) to stop looking at the karaoke screen and start improv-ing. Of course that would happen.
• The teacher is SUCH a cliché, just such a ohh blegh.
• What?! Why everyone is singing is WAY beyond my compehension.
• Oh look, Troy's dad doesn't want him to sing. Oh look, he's a manly man because he plays basketball. Singing is WRONG, in this universe, apparently.
• These two are brother and sister???? Are you kidding me??? A girl who's named after a marker pen and her retarded brother have a weird-ass relationsh-dammit they're singing.
• Oh wow...marker girl is overlooking her kingdom peasants, fellow students, who are prancing around all of a sudden. Now why?? Why are they doing this? Because each clique's peers are doing something that isn't 'normal' according to their status. What?? WHAT??? Now some guy has a cello??? Where the hell did it come from?! Ok this is retarded- some guy complains about singing, yet he SINGS about it???? What a hypocritical juvenile.
• Some guy named 'Zeke' can cook creme brulee, apparrently.
• OMG CHEESY SCENE
• This guy thinks he's so cool because he can shoot hoops, yo
• Ok, seriously, this relationship between this brother and sister is just weird. So weird.
• OH NO PRETTY BOY JUST DESTROYED HOT GEEK'S HEART
• Now she's singing??? Really? Now she's stopped, and everyone suddenly re-appeared from the lockers, maybe.
• Lol pretty boy can only sing in harmony lol.
• Apparently, pretty boy's teammates haven't heard him sing. They have. TRUST ME. They have.
• Oh look, hot geek won her geeky contest. Oh, surprise surprise, pretty boy won his basketball game.

and there you have it. Alot of it was cheesy as your dad's gooch, but i didn't really expect any less from a Disney movie. in all honesty, there were a couple of times where I did actually enjoy the film, I didn't think it was a bad film, I just thought there were ALOT of cheesy and corny scenes. 70%, actually. Make that 89%. The reason why I didn't watch all three of them was because the point of this exercise was for me to find out what the big deal was. I see it now, what all the billion screaming kids and girls are screaming over. I now have closure. So, the movie, 6/10 for me, 100000000000/10 for all the kids in the world. Kazed
