"When I first saw the trailer for Wanted, I figured it was just another Matrix ripoff. And I’m sure there are many other people who thought the same thing. Of course, some Matrix ripoffs aren’t bad — I absolutely love Kurt Wimmer’s Equilibrium, for example — but most are. Even worse, though, are the parodies of the Matrix’s “bullet time” sequences. Do we really need to see another movie character bend over backwards to avoid a bullet (or milk)? Or another movie character suspended in motion while the camera tracks around him or her? It’s no wonder that until yesterday, I had pretty much dismissed Wanted, because of that Matrix-like bullet time sequence in which Morgan Freeman shoots around a slab of meat to hit an unseen target. Yet as of yesterday, the movie’s

"Sure, it’s good to be the king, be it Henry VII, Billie Jean or Stephen. But there are so-called “kings” of questionable virtue.1) The King of Pop: A dandy whose contributions to the music arts have been eclipsed by his personal predilection for young squires in his kingdom.2) Burger King: Rules by treating his subjects to high-fat, empty-calorie meals; contributes to obesity epidemic; stars in "

"o.k....so its been a while since i've walked out of a movie. but there i was...leaving after 20 minutes. this movie sucked on so many levels. milla's acting was horrible. the dialogue was cheesy and ineffective. the special effects look great, for an xbox game. but not for a major motion picture. and the tossing-the-hair-over-the-shou lder thing was old after about the gazillionth time. yes milla, we know you're hot. but looks can't carry the film alone. so lame.

"By Tricia Olszewski The monotone female voice-over, the ridiculously long backstory, the way the scripters think the word “vampire” isn’t sexy enough—looks like we have another Underworld to snooze through. And when the latest girl with guns, Violet (Milla Jovovich), begins the explanation of Ultraviolet, the latest vamp—er, Death Dealer, er, hemophage flick, by intoning, “I was born into a world you may not understand,” well, she sure got that right. Anyone expecting no more than another piece of inscrutable Xbox cinema might be satisfied with writer-director Kurt Wimmer’s futuristic and flashy vision, its brilliant colors and sped-up action given a surreal sheen via HD digital video. The rest of us will have to settle for knowing that Violet is one of the hemophages, who are no longer considered human because of a virus pandemic, that she’s pretty good at karate, that she can make weapons appear out of her arms, that her midr ...
