The month of "Thanksgiving" brings with it two movies to view the first being "A very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas" starring Kal Penn, Jon Choi and Niel Patrick Harris which opened on the 4th.
Plot
"Six years after their Guantanamo Bay adventure, stoner buds Harold Lee and Kumar Patel cause a holiday fracas by inadvertently burning down Harold's father-in-law's prize Christmas tree".
My Thought's
This review will be short and sweet, if you have seen the two previous Harold & Kumar films you know what to expect here, Nothing new. Kal Peen and John Choi are at their hilarious, vulgar, stoner best in this third entry in the film, The cast of character this time around is just as funny as the other two films (Special mention to the baby). The 3D was used very well in this film and i would put it right along with Piranha 3D in terms of usage and execution, Overall this was a welcome addition to the franchise and I hope there is a 4th not far down the line. On a last note NPH is great in his cameo and is a staple to this franchise.
Rating
Great entry to a hilarious franchise, Definitely see if you are a fan of this franchise 8.0/10!!!!.
The Second Movie of the month is "Immortals" Starring Henry Cavill, Mickey Roarke and John Hurt which opened on the 11th.
Plot
Theseus is a mortal man chosen by Zeus to lead the fight against the ruthless King Hyperion, who is on a rampage across Greece to obtain a weapon that can destroy humanity.
My Thoughts
I was not sure what to make of this movie when I first viewed the trailer a few months ago, I decided to wait a little bit and not see this movie on opening day. I waited a week and read some feedback and reviews about the movie before finally deciding to see it, I have to say that this is the first movie sine "300" where the art style caught my eye visually this movie is stunning like few movies I have seen before, The whole movie had this "epic" feel to it from the landscapes to the battles everything was done on a huge scale and it really attributed to the film, The acting for the way the film was made went well with it no actor/actress stood out but the cast did a good job. I do not usually comment on this but the sound in the film was masterful it really complemented well to the film really well and helped set the scenes for the movie, The action and choreography for this film was beautiful and not since
300" had I seen a film with battle scenes like this I applaud the production crew for there was not much about the film that I did not like, If I had to nitpick about anything the film started off slow but finished with a flurry.
Rating
Did not know what to expect but this film greatly exceeded my expectations 8.2/10!!!!.
