Karl's Movietalk: The Island

I was intrigued when I saw previews for this movie.  Quick flashes of the island itself, people in matching white jumpsuits, Michael Clarke Duncan being dragged down a hallway, Steve Buscemi, looks good to me!  Well, now that I've seen this mysterious movie, I feel I must change the font to describe it.

Apparently ( Read more... )

Karl's Movietalk: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Let me preface this by saying that I love Tim Burton. I love every single movie he has ever made.  Yes, that's including Planet of the Apes.  So I always look forward to seeing a movie from him.  And boy was I excited when I heard he would be directing a remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate ( Read more... )

Ask five questions.

No matter how personal, private, or random.

In turn, you post this message in your own journal and you have to answer the questions that are asked to you. Or not.

I am a huge comic book geek.  I admit it! And I make it a point to see every comic book movie that comes along. I've seen some good ones (The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen), some great ones (X-Men, X-Men 2 Spider-Man 2), and I've seen some pretty horrible ones (Hulk, The Punisher with Dolph Lundgren).  Fantastic ( Read more... )

Karl's Movietalk: Dark Water (US)

Dark Water is a remake of a Japanese film with the same name, which was in turn based on a novel by the author of "The Ring".  If you want to see a better movie, track down the original Japanese version, because they did it better and scarier than this snoozefest of a movie.  Jennifer Connely plays a young mother ( Read more... )

Karl's Movietalk: War Of The Worlds

Aliens.  If movies are to be believed, we'd better hope aliens never come to visit us.  Because for the most part, aliens mean trouble, with the exception of Alf, Mork, E.T., the family from Mac and Me, and a few others.  And who better to fight the aliens than Scientology celebrity Tom Cruise??  Well, fight ( Read more... )

Karl's Movietalk: Land of the Dead

Let me preface this by saying that I love zombie movies. I just really like the idea of dead folks clawing their way out of their graves and eating the living.  And George Romero can pretty much take credit for pretty much creating the modern zombie genre.  His original trilogy of Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of ( Read more... )
