It’s a shame that subtitled movies don’t make too much in local cinemas because this means few, if any, subtitled movies end up being shown. This means most people end up with just local movies (which have a long way to go) and the usual Hollywood fare. Unfortunately, they’re missing out on a lot because there’s a whole bunch of good foreign language movies out there, French, Chinese, Korean, and even, in this case, is Swedish.
It’s a good thing you have a choice and don’t have to rely on the local cinemas. With a little bit of application of technology here and there, you can enjoy foreign language movies in the comfort of your own home. I’m talking DVDs and BluRays here :|
I finally watched Avatar. And since everyone has watched it already… twice even, I won’t get into too much detail. Due to scheduling issues, I wasn’t able to watch it in 3D and after watching, I was like what’s the big deal?!? It seems the big deal is the 3D and that’s about it.
There’s a recent spate of vampire movies brought on by the Twilight series (yeech!). Of course, this is nothing new, there’s the Lost Boys, the Blade Series, the Underworld series, etc. But Daybreakers is a vampire movie with a twist: Instead of humans being the majority, vampires are. It does make sense when you think of it. After all, vampires are vastly superior to humans in a fight. And humans are a dwindling food resource hunted and, eventually, farmed. And so in this, alternate world, an intrepid group of human rebels work to freeing humanity and creating a cure for vampirism. Aside from this unique twise, there’s some action and a bit of human (vampire?) drama injected in. The result is novel, entertaining, and fun (in a gory kind of way, if you’re into that kind of thing).
