2007-04-29 Thread Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)
Are you talking about the Russian flick with the following plot: Among 
normal humans live the Others possessing various supernatural powers. 
They are divided up into the forces of light and the forces of the dark, 
who signed a truce several centuries ago to end a devastating battle. 
Ever since, the forces of light govern the day while the night belongs 
to their dark opponents. In modern day Moscow the dark Others actually 
roam the night as vampires while a Night Watch of light forces, among 
them Anton, the movie's protagonist, try to control them and limit their 
outrage.

Or are you talking about the Pierce Bronsan Alexandra Paul movie? or 
something else?

Exactly the first one. Didn't plan on finding it, and I'm glad I did.

Are you talking about the Russian flick with the following plot: Among 
normal humans live the Others possessing various supernatural powers. 
They are divided up into the forces of light and the forces of the dark, 
who signed a truce several centuries ago to end a devastating battle. 
Ever since, the forces of light govern the day while the night belongs 
to their dark opponents. In modern day Moscow the dark Others actually 
roam the night as vampires while a Night Watch of light forces, among 
them Anton, the movie's protagonist, try to control them and limit their 
outrage.

Or are you talking about the Pierce Bronsan Alexandra Paul movie? or

 using that method to convey action, it really, really irritates me. 
 Think of the horrible camera work in the action scenes in Van 
 Helsing, and you'll get it.

 HHHEEYYY i liked resident evil. well i liked the first one. as
 for the sequel. well i can see where you're coming from. but the
 first oen rocked. how can you not like a survival horror film where
 all the characters know how to handle weapons. sure it's not in the
 same league as say aliens but hey some movies are instant classics.
 but the first resident evil was pretty good.

 forced to leave the island and return home. And the winner will be
 moved on the next match. Three female fighters are chosen to take
 part in DOA: Christie Allen, a sexy jewel thief, Tina Armstrong, a
 tough-as-nails pro-wrestler and Kasumi, a Ninja princess. Once
 arriving on the island after jumping out of their airplane with
 parachutes, Christie, Tina and Kasumi finds they aren't just fighting
 for the championship, they find themselves up against Tornament
 master Donovan, the previous tournament master's teenage daughter
 Helena Douglas is also taking part in DOA to honor her father's
 legacy, Kasumi has left her kingdom to find what happened to her
 brother who mysteriously disappeared at the tournament a year ago,
 Tina is taking part to prove she isn't a fake and Christie and her
 lover Maximil

 his own agenda and has other plans for the female fighters.

Re: [scifinoir2] Re: Fav B Movie - Worse B Movie - DOA

2007-04-27 Thread KeithBJohnson
Agreed. I think I've stated this before too, but I remember when MTV premiered 
Short Attention Span Theater. I remembered thinking it was a strange title, 
not realizing how accurately prescient it was. The weird thing is, I've noticed 
that more and more people I talk to about this look at me like I'm an 
alien--especially young (under 30) folks.  I try to talk about movies like 
Lawrence of Arabia, with its long shot, old black-and-white films where the 
camera pans out to show two people talking, instead of back-and-forth. Even 
action flicks like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are an example, where Ang 
Lee uses wide shots to encompass all the action.  I try to make them understand 
how using the camera to force feed action is amateurish and on the level of 
music videos. But alas, they don't get it. But then, these are the same people 
who tell me that Bad Boys 2 was a good movie...

I never saw either of the Resident Evil flicks.

Luck...

As for the crazy-on-crack camera shots, I think that's ADHD/ADD at work in 
society yet again. I made the comment recently (might've been here, not sure) 
that those two conditions didn't exist before the MTV Generation.

You got me. I never saw either of the Resident Evil flicks. The trailers 
didn't entrhall me, and word-of- mouth and reviews were so bad I skipped 'em. I 
assumed that the directing would follow the latest trend of too-fast camera 
work, where the scenes shift every three seconds like a crazed music video. I 
see more and more directors using that method to convey action, it really, 
really irritates me. Think of the horrible camera work in the action scenes in 
Van Helsing, and you'll get it.
