Boy Wonder (2010)
great indie thriller
I went to screening of Boy Wonder and was expecting nothing good. I was really surprised, this film is shot beautifully and they got some great performances, the kid playing Sean, Caleb something, was great. This movie is a puzzle and the way the story is told keeps you thinking all the way through. THE ENDING IS AWESOME!!!! This is not really an action movie but there are some great fight scenes. The fights are really quick and brutal and realistic in my opinion. I was approached to screen the film because I work in a comic book store and the director is into comic books. The movie does have a graphic novel feel to it. Like old school Frank Miller/ Klaus Jansen Daredevil. Not a hokey superhero story but more dark avenger, flawed hero (really flawed). It's not about Dick Grayson by the way.
The Last Airbender (2010)
A waste of a great story
I was hoping that this was going to be great. I love the TV series, and i really thought that M. Night could pull this off. Just feels hokey and forced. The special effects are nothing to rave about. Looks like CGI, feels like CGI and by darn it it is CGI. The casting felt like they had seventeen Hollywood executives in the room who never saw the series and picked people according to their IMDb rating (no offense IMDb) All and all it just felt stale and forced. they tried to cram everything into this movie and never let you take in the story or give it a real chance to suck you into the Avatar's world. Ang's eyes look cool though so there is that.
