"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" 7-8/10

The first half was definitely the best. When the Civil War began the movie started to drag and got i little boring at times. But unlike other movies with a big budget, such as the first Silent Hill, you could actually see every penny in this production. Beautiful cinematography and especially the stampede fight was quite unique and amazing.



"End of watch" 7-8/10

Even tho it sure took its time building up to something that actually reminded of a story i really liked this one. I appreciated the time the movie took to let its viewers get under the skin of the two cops, excellently played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena.
As mentioned several times on the IMDB board the ending could and should've been more powerful. Also the use of so many types of cameras seemed a little weird to me and also seemed to confuse the actors at times. Handheld (gyllenhaal), chestheld (both cops), shaky and normal cameras. Even the bad guys ran around with a handheld camera for some reason. I never understood why any of the hand/chest held cameras was used in this movie? Didn't seem to be an important factor at all in the end anyways??

Still recommended to fans of Colors and Training Day. :)




"The Awakening" 8-9/10

Except for the the rather anticlimatic ending this ol' school ghost flick was right up my alley. Great ghost story, beautifully shot and with a perfect cast. Reminded in many ways of "The Others" without having the same story.
If only i'd seen more to the creepy child and less to the cute one i'd been a very happy camper.
