My Review:
Finally i found some time between work and all the other stuff going on these days. Havent had time to watch anything lately :\ But this was a movie i really wanted to check out. And i enjoyed the two first movie in this series. But this one.. It was disapointing in alot of places. The story was not to original (and it didnt have anything to do with the 2 first movies at all!) And that was a shame IMO. And a few flaws here and there. BUT if you look away from that, and you see this movie for the first time (and havent seen the 2 first movies) It does an ok job for the horror part in it tho. A good gore movie. A few cool scenes here and there. Alot of blood, and some zombies. For the horror (sure) check it out for a cheap penny. But if you only want to check it out because you want to see how it connects with the two first movies. Dont bother. All in all, not the worst or the best horror movie i've seen.

Totally agree with your review. They should have quit after the second one, yet it was a fun watch while it last, mostly.

i liked how they transitioned from the found footage style to regular film making.

My Review:
That was interesting i have to say. I didnt hear much about this one, before i watched the trailer a while back and it looked real good. But the movie for me never took really off unfortunatly. This was a movie with a a-team like cast. And it was good to see them again. But i've seen them better. And the story was interesting enough. But a much different movie that i thought it would be. A good movie if you like politics and that route. I'm not going to paint it all black. Because the movie had its moments here and there, and with some good lines too. But for me i guess with the names on the list. I expected a bit more from it. All in all this was an ok drama\thriller. A movie that you can check out (IMO) if you find it for a cheap penny somewhere. I wouldnt pay full buck for it.

My Review:
Well, that was a nice surprise really. This movie was a bit different then the other animated movies i've seen. A cool mix between an Arcade like and animated movie.

And i cant forget the sound and picture quality in this one. Just amazing! I'm not going to say too much more about it. Other than - you guys should really check this out! I dont think you would regret it! A real good animated movie!

My Review:
So me and some good friends watched this last night. And after only hearing good things about it, i was looking real forward to it. And what a movie it was! The movie about the biggest manhunt in the history. And what they did with the movie was just amazing. For me it was real interesting to see how they all worked "behind the scenes" with it all. Makes me think about how much really happening out there, that we never know about. A movie that was real intense and suspenceful trough out the movie. And the cast aswell. With Jessica Chastain in the lead did a great job! Was only a few minor things that i quastioned about the movie. But since its based on the true story i guess thats ok. This movie was almost a pure masterpiece. They did almost everything correct. This a movie that everyone should check out IMO.

My Review:
Well, that was kinda interesting and refreshing at once. A bit different movie, with a cool story. People infected by a virus unknown by the rest of the world. And the journey they put us trough the movie was refreshing i have to say. Nothing i've seen in i awhile. And thats nice. Alot of cool stuff happening trough out the movie. Lot of cool spots. And i have to say it was nice to see Zoey Deschanel in the lead. It is a different movie that you guys should check out. You might like it! Its not your typical movie. (Wich is always a good thing IMO)












My Rating:
4/6

[DSig]

Piffi .. i fully agree.  I thought maybe I was the only person who liked this film.  I too thought it had some new bits.  I liked Mark Wahlberg's portrayal .. kind of confused with his life changing so.  I liked Zooey Deschanel in this also but her character seemed pretty weak.  Not in writing but in who she was.  I would like to see Zooey Deschanel play a stronger lead some time and see how that goes.  But over all i too really liked this one.

[Piffi]

I like both the leads (and i agree with you there Dave) i got some of Mark Wahlberg's work. And i do enjoy a few of his movies. And i do enjoy Zoey's work aswell. Tho i dont have that much of her work (yet) Really enjoyed the 'Yes Man' tho
And i have to say that i am a fan of her big sister aswell. Emily as 'Bones' in Bones!

My Review:
After having this in my unwatched pile for ages. A friend recommanded me to watch it. So now i finally got around to do so. He really enjoyed it. And it had my interest too since the cast had some allright names to it. And for the movie itself. It wasnt anything too spectacular IMO. The story wasnt that original (but again, what is these days in movies?) But they did the best of it, and IMO made the most out of it. And it had its moments here and there with some good actions scenes. And with a crew that worked good together i think. And some good sounds efects here and there. With a real good sound trough out the thing. Thats always a big plus IMO. All in all, an -ok- way to spend 1.5hrs before bedtime. Not a movie i would recommand you guys to pay full buck for. But if you find it for a cheap penny, check it out. You might enjoy it.

Have you seen (500) Days of Summer with both Zoey and Joseph Gordon-Levitt who i think is growing into a very find actor.

[Piffi]

I've heard about it. But never seen it tho. Is it any good?

[DSig]

I really liked it.  It doesn't have a smooth timeline so if that type of thing bothers you then you might not like it.  But it is very quirky (don't think you could have a zoey film without that).  Characters are very good.  Has the feeling of a Farley Brothers film.  Great loving film with little loving.  Watch it.

[Piffi]

Cool! I will keep the movie in mind next time i'm movie shopping
Thanks

[samuelrichardscott]

In my top 5 of 2009. Excellent cast, excellent soundtrack.

[Piffi]

Cool! I just watched the trailer aswell. It looked interesting i have to say.
