Prometheus - D

Yeah not so much

OK so a little while ago my wife (K) and I went to see Prometheus. We were both pretty excited for one of those few movies that make it so you understand why horror/sci-fi are often grouped together in video stores (yes some of those still exist!). We wanted a great thriller in space, like Event Horizon, or Pitch Black (both excellent films). This was originally billed as a "prequel to Alien" until Ridley Scott backed out of it and gave the whole "Same universe, different story" interview, this of course was complete bullshit. In all fairness I was never a huge fan of the original Alien trilogy, but I was definitely looking forward to a intense sci-fi thriller, and boy howdy was I ever let down. If you're a big fan of the series by all means you'll probably like it, a lot of people have. If you're hoping for an intelligent thriller, well you should just skip it, or at least wait till it hits those video stores and find a local one to support. (SPOILERS ABOUND BELOW)


Update: I saw this and found it to be both hilarious and accurate :)

Hanna - K

Hanna - circa 2011, a movie I was actually interested in going to the theatre to see, but as we've cut down on our at theatre movie intake, managed to refrain.  Tonight, watched it on our On Demand.  Short summary plot - girl grows up trained as an assassin and is set loose for a specific purpose.

First Music Review from Kronicles

Naturally, Kronicles of KD's first music review has to be hosted by the expert. And the expert would be....Dave, Kronicle's contributor of the awesome review of "The Sitter".

The Hunger Games (Movie) - K

Let me start with saying - this review is coming from someone who has not read the book(s) yet.  So, the review is only about the movie, no comparisons to the book included here.  And the movie?  I loved it.

Source Code - K

If you're not already familiar with the plot, or have forgotten the previews (movie was released 4/1/11 and is now on video)  - Source Code is an action-thriller where a soldier, Colter Stevens (played by Jake Gyellenhaal) is given a short time frame on a train to figure out who bombed said train.

Safe House - K

Safe House – It’s sad when I like the last (and preview) track (No Church in the Wild – Kayne West ft. Frank Ocean & Jay-Z) better than I like the movie itself, Safe House, especially when said movie features Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds.  

Midnight in Paris

For anyone with an English degree, this movie will be your wet dream.
