NIGHTWATCH REVIEW


NIGHTWATCH - Nightwatch is the first of a trilogy of Sci-fi/Horror movies from Russia. Its got a rockin’ soundtrack, interesting special effects, and a good premise…but is it any good? My answer is yes and no. The story itself is pretty great if a bit unoriginal. The gist of the story is there are people in society that have special abilities and are grouped with either the light or the darkness. These two groups are at odds and a huge epic battle has been building. This first story is all about set up. You are introduced to a lot of the main characters and the world they live in. Most of the characters are uber cool not necessarily for their personalities but definitely for their powers. You’ve got shapeshifters, vampires, seers, witches, warlocks, and the Gloom. For the sci-fi fantasy nut this seems like a dream come true. Unfortunately there are some weaknesses to the movie. Besides being a bit convoluted and hard to follow the special effects while inspired are a bit low budget for me. Some effects work great others not so great. While the story was fun and definitely my cup of tea it’s a bit unoriginal and I could see the ending coming a mile away. Overall I really enjoyed myself with this movie and it was better than I was expecting. B-

Hulk Review: HULK NO UNDERSTAND MOVIE. HULK DON’T KNOW HOW TO READ. HULK THINKS HULK'S SUPPOSED TO BE SCARED FROM MOVIE BUT HULK DON’T KNOW WHATS GOING ON IN MOVIE. SOME FOLKS ARE VAMPIRES AND SOME FOLKS TURN INTO TIGERS. HULK THINK SOMEBODY DOESN’T LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE BUT HULK NOT SURE. WHY CAN’T PUNY HUMANS JUST GET ALONG. HULK TRY TO GET ALONG WITH EVERYONE UNLESS SOMEONE HURT HULK FEELINGS. LAST WEEK HULK WAS AT BEACH AND HULK MADE A PRETTY HULK-SIZED SAND CASTLE. BATMAN MADE FUN OF HULK. TOLD HULK SAND CASTLES WERE FOR BABIES. BATMAN THEN DROVE OVER IN BATMOBILE AND SMASHED HULK’S SAND CASTLE. HULK VERY SAD. HULK DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO SO HULK JUST POUT AND SULK AWAY. HULK HAPPY TODAY. HULK GET EVEN WITH BATMAN. HULK DROP KICKED ROBIN TO THE MOON. HA HA HA, TAKE THAT, BATMAN!

Bobo’s Review: Bobo no like dis moobie. Bobo just see a bunch of words on the screen. Why Bobo gotta read. If Bobo wanted to read Bobo’d have finished second grade on his seventh try instead of giving up after his sixth. Bobo not really know what moobie about. For those queerboy trekkiemens that really really want to know Bobo will give you ultra spoilerific review. Words, words, words, words, the screen is all dark, a chickie turns into a tiger, words, words, words, something about a tornado, birds, and a librarian, words, words, words, spine for a sword, words, words, movie ends. Then during the credits the moobie is played again at high speeds. What the f**k is this about? Bobo no understand Russian movies. What not make moobie in monkese or at least in English like most other moobies.
