Beyond the Ring (2008)
Wow...
Well, I don't even think I got words for how terrible this movie is. Its acctualy a must-see-to-believe, you might laugh your head off or you might suffer depression, watch it if you wish, but be warned- its like playing Russian roulette with your brain.
Even the trailer is terrible and the movie is filled with fact-mistakes. Mixed Martial Arts being portrayed as a bloodsport for people with nothing to loose is one thing, using slow-motion in fight scenes in order to make it look cool, is not cool. If you want to watch real Mixed Martial Arts of proper quality, go ahead and watch Ultimate Fightning Championship or Ultimate Fight, Pride or any of the other top quality, real, no-bullshit MMA Tournaments thats around the world.
Death Proof (2007)
Excellent
A classic video from Quentin Tarantino - Great screenplay - Great script. Action packed with nice car chases and absurd QT Humor, couldn't have been better:) A must see for any QT fan.
The movie features amazing camera work and music perfectly fit for the movie, the actors are doing a very god job as well. If you liked/saw Kill Bill (who didn't?) you will notice a lot of references to the movie. The only thing slightly disappointing is the lack of a trunk shot, but I guess that the 1st person view from within the car laying down is the replacement for that :)
Great movie, watch it!
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Hmm
Well, this was stunning to say the least, for i've never seen a movie filled with more gaps than this one, and i kid you not. IMHO P.Jackson should keep true to the story if hes actualy gonna use or even walk by the name Lord of the Rings, and not put in half-rubbish quests and tales, remove the most vital parts.
Well, enough said about that, the movie has gaps, ok.
However, there are some positive sides in the movie too, the camera angles, the light settings and the composision principles are followed up with great accuracy and care, Filmaticaly, id say this movie is the greatest ever made, but considering the story, its rather a show-off for the new technology lurking around.
Hopefully the extended edition, or the "rumored" "Directors Uncut Edition" will be better and fill in the huge gaps in the story, but i have my doubhts.
Imho, the movie should be called "Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings" [Based on Tolkien's master piece "Lord of the Rings"]
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
Great Movie!
I think the movie is great:) Its got everything, a great story, humor, and alot of action, it never grows boring, and the technical part is great [Read: Filming(Camera Views etc.)].
The Music in the movie is allsow great, and very Pulp Fiction style.
There are allsow some Anime scenes in the movie, they are true to the genre, just like seeing a real Anime clip!
I strongly recommend watching this movie, simply because its great:)
