Priest, a review by dfmorgan


Priest


Year: 2011
Director: Scott Stewart
Cast: Paul Bettany, Maggie Q., Karl Urban
Overview: In a post-apocalyptic world, a savage war between man and vampire ranged for centuries. A warrior priest (Paul Bettany) receives word of fresh attacks, and now it's personal - his niece has been kidnapped by a new hive of merciless vampires. To save her, he must break his vow of peace and hunt down the hive before it's too late. Based on the acclaimed graphic novel and packed with bloodthirsty action, this full throttle crusade takes you on the hunt for a deadly new breed of killer.

Watched: 10th. Sept 2011
My Thoughts: A quite enjoyable vampire romp with Maggie Q. in leather. In this the vampires are not the traditional type, they are hive based with a queen.

My Rating: A quite enjoyable 3

Plot:
'I HATE LUV STORYS' is the maxim Jay lives by. But as an assistant director to Veer, the most famous romantic filmmaker of Indian Film Industry, Jay has little option but to live with larger than life, glossy, cinematic love on an everyday basis. Things only get worse when he is made to work under the new production designer on the film... Simran, with whom he shares the strangest first encounter.

Simran loves love stories. So much so that her life has begun to resemble one. With her ideal job and perfect boyfriend Raj, she lives a blissful, dreamy life. One that is rudely interrupted by Jay's cynicism.

The turmoil's of Jay and SImrans life, is ironically interweaved with the Love Story that they are working on.... But will Jay and Simran ever find their own Love Story???

My Thoughts:
An okay movie. Nothing special. I liked the music. The main actor reminded me a lot of Joey Tribbiani (Matt LeBlanc) here. I have to admit, that I have seen all movies which were referenced/payed tribute to/made fun of. I am not sure which of these three it was :laugh:
As much as I love the song "Maahi Ve" from "Kal Ho Naa Ho", I think they used it too much here.
Towards the end they used a score which reminded me very much of the score in the last scene of Kick-Ass. I am not sure if it was on purpose or just a coincidence.

Angel Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd


Angel: Season 3

5. Fredless
Original Air Date: 10/22/2001
Fred is resigned to leaving Los Angelese after her parents track her down and make her realize she really contributes nothing to the Angel Investigations team.

Guest Stars:
Gary Grubbs
Jennifer Griffin

My Thoughts:
This is one that I enjoyed quite a bit. It has a few laughs in it. And it shows that Fred is getting better and has become part of the team. In this episode... other then the regular cast there is really only 2 other cast members. That being Fred's parents.

My Rating:
