Shock Value:
Shock value is a valuable tool for any horror filmmaker, but when it is the only plot element used, it certainly does not make an intriguing film. Too much shock value can dramatically reduce the value of a film and that's exactly what Paranormal Activity 3 did. As a fellow filmmaker, even the sudden scares it gave you were predictable. Nevertheless, this movie guarantees you to jump out of your seat a few times if you like that. Wanna be scared for 1hr 25min? Watch it. However, for a more respectable film throughout, look elsewhere.
The new Filmaster and opinions on improving it (jjj)
Geneza planety małp (2011)
From nearly zero expectations, Transformers 3 was surprisingly decent in sharp contrast to the highly anticipated Cars 2 that turned out to be a flop. Furthermore, Transformers 3 vastly improved on the previous film in its series, again, unlike Cars 2.
I am going to have to side with the less than generous critics on this one. Many of the plot elements were ridiculous and/or unnecessary. The sections meant to heartfelt came off as cheesy. This movie badly lacked the Disney/Pixar touch that has made so many movies truly entertainment for all ages. Sorry Disney/Pixar fans, but Pixar did not deliver.
127 Hours was directed by Danny Boyle who also directed Slumdog Millionaire. The film's plot was set up to be an intensity driven story with the help of an incredible acting performance. Danny Boyle and James Franco delivered. It was all that you would expect from this movie. Not amazing, and certainly not bad. Good job.
Many people write off films simply because they are "weird" "different" or "unnatural". But when the movie is set in a "weird, unusual, unnatural" place, this cannot be the only reason one dislikes the film.
Once you wrap your mind around the curious idea of The Matrix, then you can to begin to see why it is such a classic. Many of the elements in the film revolutionized the genre for which it stands. You cannot overlook the innovation this film had and for that it should be respected. The direction and cinematography were unique and fit the film very well.
Overall, a great film that will always be remembered as a classic.
