Can a bad movie really be bad? Movies based on games have always had a tendency to be bad and usually I stay clear from them. But, once in a while I just have to see for myself how bad a movie can really be. One such case is BloodRayne, it got a nice 2,6 on IMDB. So I thought what have I got to lose? I guess time and sanity.

Everyone is always **** about Uwe and how his movies are utter crap. Instead of just accepting this opinion from others and going with the flow of saying Uwe is crap, without actually watching one of his movies, I turned on BloodRayne. Well....Boll has really made well known actors into mindless underdeveloped characters who seem to have sprung out of a regular B-movie. How is it that he even got the movie passed the officials. The quality of the dialogs, the choreography or the camera-work is simply awful. He even manages to mess up a naked scene! How is it this guy is still considered a director and how is it, that he still gets the rights to make movies based on games?

Some movies are so bad that they become fun under certain conditions (Scary Movie series), but this one is truly an example of a an awful movie. Do yourself a favor and ignore this movie. It's just not worth the time.

This has got to be one of the best movies, if not the best movie, of this year (this year seeing as it just came out in theaters over here). The movie is everything in one big package; fantasy, gruesome, shocking, hopeful, adventurous, touching, dramatic. Guillermo Del Toro mixed it up so well into a fluent told story that just grabs you till the end and doesn't let go.

The acting of the little girl is great for one of her age and it doesn't happen often that young people put up a great believable performance like the girl playing Ofelia, but the crown in this movie has to go to the person playing the sadistic Capitan Vidal. I understand he's a comedy actor in his own country most of the time, but the role he plays in this movie seems to come natural to him as if he doesn't know how to be not evil.

Yup, this on will go to my DVD collection as soon as it comes out.

After chemicals get dumped in the Han river, a monster evolves out of a local fish. After years of growing it turns on the locals to feed.

It's basically just a monster movie, but it's done very well. Humor, action, drama, you name it. What I liked about this movie is that it didn't have any of the annoying Hollywood humor which in most action/monster movies just pisses me off. Instead it had a good sense of dry humor and hysterical screaming Asians.

In the DDR the stasi runs its espionage business on everyone they think are against socialism. One of the victims is a writer for the theater who gets one of the most thorough stasi agents on his back. Is he clean or not?

The movie keeps the tension high the whole time with great performances of Sebastian Koch and Ulrich Mühe. They make you wonder what their characters would be like if not for the stasi. It's actually terrifying how much the Stasi did to keep the people in check and the situations (sometimes even funny ones) that evolved out of all the spying.
