"Wow, I can't believe I stayed up to watch this movie on HBO. It's such a disappointment. The only thing that is worth seeing in this movie is the special effects, that is, the effects for tornadoes -- the snowstorm special effects are typical fake snow and ice for the most part. And why were the wolves that escaped from the NYC Zoo CGI characters? Why didn't they just edit together footage of actual wolves with quick shots of CGI animals? The acting is pretty bad, thanks to the weak script. Although the scientific lingo sounds good, none of the actors can make any of it realistic. One particularly poor performance is from the actor who plays the "Vice-President". He was able to make it hard to believe that somebody that idiotic and confrontational would be able to get elected to the second-highest office in the US government, but his performance was unable to make the character believable. The movie drags frequently, sometimes to show the scenery. However, the movie is edited in a ... "

"Should special effects only be used to service a film’s story, or is it perfectly fine for movies to feature extraneous spectacle? That’s a debate that comes up often among cineastes, but ultimately there’s room for both functions. Sometimes, in cases like Jurassic Park and The Matrix, both categories of effects may even faultlessly coexist in the same film. Yet there is one kind of effects employment that’s intolerable to all film-loving parties: the gratuitous exploitation for the sole purpose of brazen gimmickry. It’s this kind of effects work that goes beyond spectacle. It’s not so much a show as a show off. For one example of this cinematic sin check out Karina’s review of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, in which she references a scene featuring an inessential and irrelevant rocket launch in the background of an otherwise intimate moment between "

"Catherine Hardwicke hit one out of the park for female directors this past weekend, but she had a lot of help. Not only was she working with a pre-sold property, she also had a very manageable budget of $37 million. Quite different from the $2 million she had to work with on Thirteen a few years back. Of course, she had similar budgets on Lords of Dogtown ($25 million) and The Nativity Story ($35 million), and both were box office disappointments. Still, she’s going to keep on being trusted with more money — if Summit is smart they’ll keep her on for at least the first Twilight sequel, which will surely come with a higher price tag — and as long as she continues with genre films, she’s sure to remain a profitable director. Not every talented filmmaker does well with more money. Danny Boyle, for instance, typically bombs with bigger budgets. And a lot of foreign auteurs "

"Before you go to the polls today, you need to understand where the candidates stand on the really big issues. No, I don’t mean silly stuff like the economy. I mean the issues that threaten to plunge the world into an era of scorched, apocalyptic savagery. Sure, an ongoing war in the Middle East and gradual climate change are kind of scary, but how will Obama and McCain respond to the threats that can wipe out 99% of humanity overnight? These are dire times, and doomsday cinema has made one thing clear: this will probably be our last president before Armageddon sweeps from sea to shining see, so we’d better choose wisely. After the jump we look at where the candidates stand on the issues, from Alien Invasion to Zombie Plague. Near Earth Object Collision The possibility of a near Earth object (such as a huge comet or meteor) striking Earth and wiping out all life has been used films like Deep Impact and

"We all like our guilty pleasures. Go ahead admit it, nothing to be ashamed of. I’ll start. I like disaster films, usually no matter how bad or nonsensical they might be. I also have lots of problems with Roland Emmerich’s INDEPENDENCE DAY, but must admit sometimes I just like to putting my brain down next to me on the couch, sitting back, and watching cities being destroyed and aliens blowing the shit out of everything. So, suffice to say, yeah, I’m a hypocrite. I scream obscenities about the director for his lack of creative depth or originality, but at the same time, I can be an eight your old boy watching Sci-Fi Theater on a boring Sunday afternoon all over again. The same can be said for Emmerich’s last effort (or lack thereof) with THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Sure, it’s implausible, even extremely hokey and exploitative when it comes to trying to pull at the heartstrings, but did anyone rush out to see this for its high dramatic moments? Or did they j ...

"Earlier this week, I recommended 10 movies for Democrats to watch. So, to balance things out and hopefully show a lack of bias, I’ve now selected 10 recommendations for Republicans, too. This was actually the more difficult task, because there are so many classic films that display conservative values — and in the 1980s alone, I think there were about a billion films promoting relatively right-wing lifestyles and ideas. Therefore, I’ve limited my picks to the last two decades, except for one underrated gem that left me with quite an impression as a boy. The Dark Knight (2008) Some said Batman is Bush, others said Cheney, but either way this past summer’s superhero blockbuster resonated with certain conservatives who saw the film as something of an argument about — if not apology for — the actions of the current administration. Similarly, this summer’s Hancock and Iron Man have been read as being parti "

"By now I’m sure you’ve heard that former ’80s teen-movie star John Cusack will star in Roland Emmerich’s apocalypse spectacular 2012. Considering the blockbuster filmmaker has previously directed the likes of James Spader (in Stargate) and Matthew Broderick (in Godzilla), I figure it’s only a matter of time before he’s worked with all our favorite ’80s teen-movie actors. So, here’s a list of the next ten actors most appropriate for Emmerich to cast: Kirk Cameron - The former star of TV’s Growing Pains and the ’80s flick Like Father, Like Son has more recently starred in the Christian-targeted Left Behind movies, which, in dealing with the Rapture, fit in with Emmerich’s usual penchant for end-of-the-world scenarios. Considering his pro-creationist stance, he probably wasn’t a fan of Emmerich’s recent caveman epic and his Evangelical status mean "

"This is actually a difficult movie to review. As film goes, this one is certainly not a masterpiece; however, as disaster films go, this one is great. Leave real science (and your notions of whether global warming is real or not) at the door and just watch the movie for fun (and some cool special effects). Roland Emmerich is the best in the business at destroying major cities! Forgot about minor plot issues or sappy storytelling and just watch bad things happen. And tell me that you don't walk out of the theater feeling cold. "

"Honestly, I'm going to admit right now I liked most of the film. I'm currently studying Global warming and climate changes in an enviromental science: Global Science Issues and if it wasn't for this class, I wouldn't be as aware of the problems that are going on in our eco-systems. If it wasn't for this class, I wouldn't of watched this film (it was on a list for credit). I more than believe global warming is real. I honestly think I've seen enough evidence to prove that things are changing...they are changing fast and they are changing for the worse. The facts given in the beginning in the film were all things I had heard countless times in articles and research studies I'd used in class. The events that occur in this film, may be an over extention of the truth (I don't believe that much could happen in such a short time, but I believe it will happen over time)...But honestly, I don't think anything has terrfied me as much as the idea of ...

"Eventually Hollywood will learn it doesn’t make sense to spend millions of dollars on a B-movie. It may just take awhile. But if the road towards re-education didn’t begin with Grindhouse, it will possibly start with Roland Emmerich’s 10,000 B.C., the trailer to which is now available courtesy of CHUD.com. The $75,000,000 movie follows a tradition of cheesy Saturday afternoon flicks like 1940’s One Million B.C. and its 1966 remake One Million Years B.C. Of course, back then the B.C. stood for “before computer (effects)” and featured the spectacular — and silly, maybe — visual effects of Roy Seawright and Ray Harryhausen, respectively. Sure, in terms of effects and spectacle, 10,000 B.C. looks cool, just as Emmerich’s
