The movie follow people trying to survive while volcano eruptions and earthquakes havoc around them. One of them is Jackson Curtis (John Cusack), divorced and father of two, as he discovers the same information as Dr. Adrian Helmsley while meeting Charlie Frost (Woody Harrelson), an enthusiastic doomsday believing radio show talkhost.

My verdict and my rate:

2012 has awesome special effects but it is nothing more. At least it isn’t if you like a movie with intellectual substance, also there is no interesting back-story. Best seen on large screens like those in movie theaters to fully enjoy the special effects. I could rate the special effects a 10 however the movie recieve a 1.

The Descent: Part 2

The plan was to go watch Avatar but instead we ended up with tickets to The Descent: Part 2. It is a horror flick and Rated R for strong bloody horror violence, grisly images, terror and language. 554 votes has rated this movie 6.5/10 at The Internet Movie Database (imdb.com). My rate at the end of this post.

If you liked The Descent (2005) it’s possible that you’ll like The Descent: Part 2 as well.

Sarah Carter survived the caving expedition (in The Descent) and the sequel continues the story as she emerges from the Appalachian confused and with no memory from what she’s experienced. Forced to help locate her missing companions she is back to the depts where she starts to remember the horror.

I like the first movie and the second. To me these are good horror movies and the monsters scare the shit out of me . Although part 2 has a confusing end.

The Machinist (El Maquinista)

The Machinist (El Maquinista)

The Machinist, a mystery/thriller with the original title El Maquinista, has 7 wins and 8 nominations. The film is English but shot mostly in Barcelona, Spain, the year 2004. Rated R for violence and disturbing images, sexuality and language. 7.8 rating out of 10 possible at the imdb, I would give it a 7. It’s always enjoyable to watch a Christian Bale movie.

Christian Bale dropped an impressive (and horrifying) 63 pounds for the role as Trevor Reznik, an industrial worker with insomnia who hasn’t slept for a year and slowly begins to doubt his sanity as bizarre things start happening. I won’t reveal the plot and anyone who is interested can voluntarily click this link and to read the plot summary for The Machinist at The Internet Movie Databse.

The production designers had to painstakingly re-create the look and feel of Los Angeles with many ”everyday Americana” items in both interior AND exterior shoots. This included cigarettes, alcohol, street signs, traffic signals, public telephones, retail signage, automobiles, license plates, and also shooting in what writer Scott Kosar called ”some of the worst areas of Barcelona”.

Rating: (3.2/5)
