I Am Legend

This morning, Chan and I sat down together and watched this great film. Firstly, the acting in this film, the lead role played by Will Smith was phenomenal. I am truly surprised he wasn't nominated for an Oscar! Will Smith plays Dr. Robert Neville, a virologist for the U.S. military, and is the last man on earth. Will gave us a feel for his character and kept us interested with the film.

The effects in this movie were great, and included making a digital set if an evacuated New York City. Also, the digitally engineered "darkseekers" were a job very well done, as we werent pointing out how fake it looked and how I thought they brilliantly creepy.

In the film, I am Legend, a viral cure for cancer has been found, only, strange mutations have occured in the human trials. Now that the virus has become airborne, all humans are infected and turn into canibalistic mutants who are very sensitive to Ultraviolet Radiation. Dr. Robert Neville, the last human left, has devoted his life into finding a cure to bring mankind away from the brink of extinction.

Acting: 10; I must make a note of Samantha, Robert's Dog, for when watching the film you bond with the dog so well.

Effects: 8

Plot: 9; very creative!

Overall:10; The perfect film!

Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Tim Burton expertly re-created this musical and casted the right people for each role. Since I liked so many actors from this movie, I am going to review three, Sweeney Todd, Ms. Lovett, and Pirelli. Johnny Depp played Sweeney Todd, a barber who was sentenced to jail on false charges by an evil Judge Turpin. Johnny showed a darker side of his weird acting, and played the role smoothly. Helena Bonham Carter played Ms. Lovett, a woman who falls for Sweeney, and has a pie shop that is going down the drain. She also expertly blended with her character, and was very creative with her role. Lastly, Pirelli is a competing barber and adds humour to this dark film. Pirelli is played by Sacha Baron Cohen, and presents further evidence that he is a comical and fun actor. Kudos to the casting of Sweeney Todd!

Unfortunatley, I can not say that the effects in this production were good. The blood looked very fake and did not convince me.

Benjamin Barker's life was going well. He had a beautiful wife and a lovely young child, until the jealous Judge Turpin wants Mrs. Barker and the child for himself. Turpin sends Benjaminto jail on false charges and steals his child. Benjamin returns as Sweeney Todd and vows to get his revenge.

Acting: 10, very convincing
Effects: 2 very dissapointing
Plot: 7
Overall: 8

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

Hey everyone, this is one of your expert movie reviewers at the Review Zone. Ill be giving reviews on latest movies and some of my favorite older hits.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of my top favorite movies. This movie was created by a great crew and cast, and introduced a new kind of Action/ Adventure into the cinemas. First off, the acting in the movie was really good. The lead role, Dr. Henry (Indiana) Jones Jr. was portrayed effectively by Harisson Ford, who showed Indy as a very serious and adventurous man who felt very strongly for archeology, but also added hints of humor that made Indy seem human. Marion Ravenwood, played by Karen Allen also expertly gave us a feel for her character, a girl who can fend for herself. Overall the acting in this movie was great and really blended.

Although there were not many special effects in this movie, when the effects were put into use they were very advanced for the 80's. Most of the effects come into play when the lost Ark of the Covenant is opened by the Nazis. Lightning burst through people, and faces melt off and heads explode.

When I give plots I will be somewhat basic because I do not want to spoil movies for you. Indiana Jones, the famous whip-cracking archaeologist with the iconic Fedora hat is on the mission to stop the Nazis from recovering the Lost Ark of the Covenant. To find the Ark, Indy must go to his former mentor's daughter, who has one of her father's artifacts needed to locate the ark. Indy is now put to the test to stop the armies of darkness from marching the earth with this paranormal power behind them.

Acting: 8 - Actors reinforce their roles
Effects: 10- Although there were not many, Revolutionary effects for the 1980's
Plot: 10- Cool plot; very adventurous and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Overall: 9- Great Movie and great cast and crew

You should see this movie, I give it two thumbs up! Look into this movie more, and look for my reviews of the rest of the trilogy!
