Underworld Awakening

I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong. When I first heard about the creation of this film I had no hope of it being a success. I'm glad I was mistaken. From the first kick to the ribs of a human to the last bullet being shot through the head of a Lycan this movie was everything the other 4 was not. And then some. Set pretty much 12 years in the future of the last movie, Selene is awaken from a cryogenic sleep into a world she does not know, and to a war she is unable to win. But with the help of a young Vampire who wants to be a Death Dealer, a human cop who knows way too much about Vampires and their history, and a 12yr old hybrid daughter she doesn't even know, Selene was able to push back waves of Lycans (believed to have been wiped out in the cleansing) and a giant Lycan who would put William (The first Lycan) to shame. I know what you're thinking in all of this where is Michael? For that you'll have to see for yourself. But I will give you this one little hint...There will be another movie.

P.S. Don't bother seeing it in 3-D, with all the good points the one down side is it isn't 3-D worthy.

My vote: Go see it!

Joyful Noise

Joyful Noise was indeed an OK movie. It wasn't the best "gospel" movie I've seen, in fact if you close one eye and turn your head side ways you'll see that Joyful Noise looks a hell of a lot like Sister Act 2. To be honest watching the end of movie I thought for a moment I was watching Sister Act 2 only instead of Whoopi Goldberg they had Queen Latifah. If that wasn't bad enough the side stories were so long you forget the movie was about singing and not about everything else that was going on. But I will end this on a good "note", the two best part of the movie was the sight of Keke Palmer all grown up before our TV eyes, no longer the little girl we remember from Akeelah and the bee. No she has become a grown up movie star. But the main note was the fact of people of all colors, ages, gender, and background singing the message of GOD. Marvin Sapp once said "Take a good look, this is what Heaven will look like." Joyful Noise took those words and made a movie.

My Vote: Rent It!

The Devil Inside

From the opening scene all your attention is focused to even the slightest movement of the movie, to either A: keep from being caught off guard by a sudden scare or B: To prove to yourself (and your date) that there is nothing to be scared of. Either way both attempts will fail you. If it's not the screaming old woman, the large dog suddenly braking through the gates, then it's the theater BOOM of something unseen happening that will have you jumping in your seat. The Devil Inside was filmed as a documentary, best I've seen yet. It had the feel of a real documentary gone wrong and everything was caught on film. the four main characters (A Priest, Exorcist, a Film maker, and a young woman looking for answers) end up biting off more than then they can chew when trying to perform an exoticism on the main antagonist who happens to be the mother of the young woman. To say anymore will give away the movie, but I will say this abandon all hope, you who wish to exist this movie with a smile on your face. A scary movie? No. But you will leave feeling very uneasy.

I give this movie: Go see it!
