Review: CONTAGION

Contagion is one lazy piece of fiction that banks on the names of numerous stars, pretentious direction, and the general audience’s fear of anything swine flu related. Ironically, several of the characters do point out, how the exaggerated fear over the swine flu made things worse. Would I be spoiling anything if I said the same thing happens in Contagion? Probably not because Contagion is trying to be a realistic film that speculates how a global epidemic could affect our lives.

Review: PREDATORS

I'm not sure what I was expecting exactly, but I left Predators a bit disappointed. It's only a step better than your forgettable summer blockbuster, and it also contains the greatest single miscasting of the decade.

It's not that Adrian Brody isn't a great actor. In fact, I've always liked him. But when I say he couldn't have been more wrong for the lead in this movie, you better believe it. Meak little Adrian Brody works in roles like The Brothers Bloom and King Kong, but in a movie where he is supposed to be a Batman-voiced action hero, it's just absurd to take him seriously.

Predators

YES, YES, YES.
