Review
As is common with a range
of Disney live action films, 'John Carter' is actually an adaptation. It came
from a story named 'A Princess Of Mars', first written in 1917 by Edgar Rice
Burroughs, the same man that brought us 'Tarzan'. When you consider that the
story of 'John Carter' was originally written nearly a century ago, the imagination
used in its production is something to behold.
The film is a
fantasy/sci-fi action production following the character of John Carter, an
American civil war veteran who is unknowingly transported to Mars. There, he is
confronted by a race of alien
barbarians, a war between two human factions and a princess in need of a saviour.
Unfortunately, I have
little to say of a positive nature about this film; it is weak in a range of
areas. The storyline is common to Disney, following the standard;
'unknown-hero-saves-the-world-and-gets-the-girl' dynamic. This predictability
is furthermore accompanied by a barrage of weak performances which are unrealistic
and somewhat stylized. The dialogue also lacks any imagination, and the
direction disorganised. Furthermore, the film’s
length, over two hours, leaves one feeling drained, and ultimately bored.
The single positive aspect
to acknowledge from 'John Carter' are its numerous action sequences, in which
special and sound effects, and editing are effective, but this in no way makes
up for the areas in which the film needs improvement. Due to the emphasis on
adventure sequences, 'John Carter' will attract the kind of audience that is
synonymous with action films - the pre-teen adventure-hungry boys. However, even
for this specific target audience, there are unfortunately, films currently
viewing that are far better than 'John Carter'.

Click on the title to be taken to the source:
1) Unconfirmed - Woody Allen eyes Cate Blanchett & Bradley Cooper for his next project
You would think the 76 year old would take a small break after winning his fourth Oscar last February, but it seems nothing can stop him - Cate Blanchett and Bradley Cooper, an unusual combination, but a promising one none-the-less.
2) Confirmed - Mark Millar & Matthew Vaughn to adapt 'The Secret Service'
The 'Kick-Ass' pair are teaming up again to adapt another comic 'The Secret Service'
3) Unconfirmed - Ben Affleck to star in 'Nathan Decker'
It seem's that Ben Affleck isn't all about directing and writing now, as he is tipped to star in Warner Bro's new political comedy 'Nathan Decker'.
4) Confirmed - 'X-Men: First Class' Sequel to begin filming in january 2013
Very little other information has been released, only that the shooting schedule has been changed to make sure Jennifer Lawrence's other projects don't clash.
5) Confirmed - Gerard Butler offered a part in 'Motor City'
Gerard Butler, known quite extensively for his, shall we say, 'vocal' performance in '300' may be taking a part in Albert Hughes' dialogue free picture 'Motor City'; a unique crime/thriller focused on a framed criminal's revenge.
6) Confirmed - Woody Harrelson joins the cast of 'Out Of The Furnace'
He has taken the role alongside Cristian Bale, playing the leader of a dangerous crime ring.
7) Unconfirmed -Ben Kingsley to join the cast of Iron Man Three?
Certain reports suggest that he could be playing the villain in the third instalment
8) Confirmed - Colin Farrell pulls out of 'Arthur & Lancelot'
Don't worry too much, the project continues to move forward.
9) Unconfirmed - John Lee Hancock could be directing 'Saving Mr Banks'
'The Blind Side' Director could have hit the project of his life in 'Saving Mr Banks', a film about the making of 'Mary Poppins' - reports suggest that Tom Hanks could be playing Walt Disney
10) Unconfirmed - Jennifer Aniston could join the cast of 'We're The Millers'
Reports suggest that Aniston could join her 'Horrible Bosses' co-star Jason Sudeikis in the new comedy 'We're The Millers'.
11) Unconfirmed - Steve Carell to make an adaptation of 'Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day'
After making several kid's animations in 'Over The Hedge', 'Despicable Me' and 'Horton Hears A Who', it seems Carrell now wants to move to live action child's cinema.
12) Unconfirmed - Paula Patton, Denzel Washington & Mark Wahlberg could star together in '2 Guns'
'2 Gun's could combine the three, but the project is very young.

[Review] The Devil Inside - 23rd March 2012

Review
The Devil Inside'
continues the boom of films shot in the 'amateur' style that has proven
successful over recent years, and while films like these continue to attract
audiences, particularly in the horror genre, this film fails to impress.
Exorcism, possession and
controversy with religion has always proven to be a popular and interesting
subject, so it is no surprise that 'The Devil Inside', focused totally on
exorcism, has become the next installment in this relatively modern film
style.
The storyline follows a
daughter making a documentary on exorcism, whilst investigating the case of her
own mother, who murdered three people during her own exorcism in the late
1980's.
It is the narrative of
the film that poses its first problem; it lacks substance. It is made in a
manner that exploits shock scenes, and these are undoubtedly the focus of the
film. The plot sounds interesting when promoted in a few simple sentences,
however, one quickly becomes aware that the weak storyline is there only as a
vehicle to lead into the different horror scenes designed to shock and disturb
the viewer - yet another film that has forgotten the purpose of a strong
interesting narrative in place of stylistic elements.
In terms of special
effects, sound mixing and make-up, the film is actually quite adept. The various
scenes of exorcisms throughout the film do not deny the audience realism - as
you are watching, you do not find yourself questioning it's authenticity, even
though you know you are watching a fabrication. However, this is true of most
horror films made in modern cinema. It is simply a fact that audiences have a
very high expectation of realism, and 'The Devil Inside' is not unique in any
way in this sense.
The main problem with
'The Devil Inside' is, therefore two- fold; the first is its unrealistic
storyline. Unless you are an avid fan or firm believer of exorcisms and
daemonic culture, the film is just too unbelievable in its narrative to shock
or frighten.
Secondly, the construction
of the film is poor. The manner in which cameras have been used throughout is
disjointed, uncoordinated and sloppy. You find yourself bombarded by strange
methods of editing and camera work that ultimately grades the films continuity
as weak.
'The Devil Inside' - a
horror film that will unfortunately not stand the test of time. Weak in
substance, performance and quality.
