Bloodrayne, Producers, & Narnia

So I've been meaning to post a couple of things lately, but the whole writing and posting part of it has been going rather slowly. Hence, there haven't been any real updates. To fix this I've decided to throw up a quick entry about a couple of movies that I've seen recently. So enjoy, until I can get my real posts up...

BLOODRAYNE - Ok, this movie was shit. Pure and simple, shit. It was like they took a 20 hour video game, added real actors, kept the wooden acting, poor action, rediculous powerups, and cut out about 18.5 hours of the story. What does this leave you with? A pointless movie that has no real story, a rediculously un-erotic sex scene (I think the coffee break sex scene in GTA is more erotic), and one of the worst written, acted, and directed films ever.

THE PRODUCERS - This one was slightly better. But, they could have done without Matthew Broderick. He was horrid. He over acted his part so badly that it was even too overacted for the stage. Then again, can anyone name me two good movie he's done since Ferris Bueller? I'll spot you Glory. What else? Godzilla? Inspector Gadget? I'll give him some minor points for Election, Stepford Wives, and maybe Cable Guy, but he's still the least talented in his family. In fact I think I'll give the nod to his kid even. There were some saving graces though. It is a funny story, Nathan Lane (while also over the top) was good over the top and did a great job, as did Uma and Will Ferrel (but then again when doesn't he?). All I can say is why hasn't Springtime for Hitler made it to the real stage yet? I'm sure there's some real producer out there waiting to do it.

NARNIA - I really liked this one. Good story, good acting (considering the main characters are children), good cgi work, and entertaining (and very much accurate to what I remember of the book, it has been a while though). I especially liked the casting. Everyone really seemed to fit their roles rather well. Out of these three films I'd definitely reccommend this one highest.

So that's all for now, but I do promise to get my other entries done soon and posted. So stay tuning in to catch them later.
