World War Z (Short Review)

With Zombie films becoming the new thing to make in hollywood over recent years it was kind of hard to not have mixed feelings about this film before seeing it. But thankfully WWZ turns out not just being a enjoyable film but a film with substance to it.

The films plot is simple to say the least but simple it may be it's still a intriguing one. The film itself really jumps into the Zombie apocalypse fast with all hell breaking lose within 10min of start time. The film centers around Brad pit's character Gerry Lane who is a ex U.N Officer who gets pulled back into work to help stop this from really taking over the world. Gerry only agree's to do this as he is promised is family's safety in return.

World war z for a start looks amazing. I really felt i had been transported to the Apocalypse and having it based not just in America but seeing the rest of the world was a great change for once. Practical make up for zombies look amazing and visual effects look fine. Acting is great but this is really Brad Pits film. This is the best i have seen Brad in a long time. He really grasps the role of Gerry and gives great charisma and fun to the character. Remember everyone this is not meant to be a serious movie, it's a fun Holiday blockbuster that i feel is even fine for young teenagers to see. Director Marc Forster really does a great job at creating the beloved novel into a movie. Tho it does not stay true to the original book it still has the feel and substance of the book that made it so amazing there for making the movie good. Mac also does a great job of building the tension from start to finish with some scenes having you on the edge of your seat.

If you like movies like contagion and shows like The walking dead you will most likely have a great time with this film . It puts a new great twist on the zombie genre that has not really been done before like this.

I give World War Z

Life of Pi (Quick Review)

Review By:Tim Donaldson
When Oscar winning Director Ang Lee announced that he was going to make the book Life of Pi into a film people said that it was impossible. How could he film a book that has very little dialog and is mainly a descriptive story. So as fan of the book I was looking forward to seeing how he could pull this off but also scared knowing the background of the book. But I am glade to tell you all that Life of Pi is not only a great film but is a masterpiece of filmmaking.

This film had me leave the theatre mind blown , not only by the story that was being told but also the visuals, this film looks Beautiful in 3D. Ang Lee has really set the standards with 3D and Visuals here and for me it’s the best I have seen since Avatar. For one the animated Bengal Tiger(whose name is Richard Parker)looks so real in this you would swear it was right there. Everything from the way it walks to the emotions in its face look so real. I felt like I had a connection with this animal and I am glad I did because for me he’s the star of the film! There’s also many other animals that we come across and they all look just as amazing as our Tiger friend Richard Parker. Also the story is simple and easy to follow, tho as family friendly this film is young children may be board by this as the underlining meaning of the story is very deep and young children will miss it completely, I would take any child over say 10 or 11. Also note that there is some intense survival themes and some scenes of animal violence that may be too much for young children

This film is sure to be a headline at the Oscars this year and be nominated for many awards. Ang Lee has made a beautiful, fun and surprising masterpiece and is sure to be a classic for many years to come. Now I am reviewing this as a 2012 movie because it was released in America in 2012 and there for this has to be my second favourite film of 2012 (My Favourite being Argo). Life of Pi, an amazing Life to see!
