SAGA - Curse of the Shadow (2013)
A very watchable Movie
Dragon Age Dawn Of The Seeker was quite a good movie, for its Budget it has much better Special Effects than some of those horrible Sci-Fi movies being released lately, the cinematography of the landscapes and scenery was amazingly beautiful, you really do not expect it for the budget, the Elves, Orcs, Dwarfs, Mermaids, Sirens, Dragons and the rest where very good, their make up was pretty Amazing, the Orcs look similar to the Orcs in Lord of the Rings and they even carried over the Orc music from Lord of the Rings with a few differences, probably to protect them from Copyright. The acting in this movie was Fair to Good, the combat and Melee fighting scenes were pretty poor, but you can get passed the poor fighting scenes as the movie is engaging and you do still want to watch it till the end.
War Horse (2011)
Fantastic Family movie with funny, sad and tearful parts
I was lucky enough to see War Horse in a special pre-screening yesterday 7/12/2011 at Melbourne central and I traveled from Geelong.
I am not a fan of wars or movies about wars, but the great thing about this movie, is there was no emphasizes on battles, blood and guts and when there was a scene, it was well hiding from children's eyes, it is more of a family movie about a horse named Joey and a boy named Albert who trains and cares for the horse, until war breaks out and the boys alcoholic father sells the horse to save the family farm to a British army Officer in the cavalry(WWI), once Albert finds out he runs in hope of saving his horse but not in time, so he tried to enlist but is too young, so Albert says to Joey no matter where you are I will find you and there is a special way he calls Joey with a distinct whistle.
So Joey's off to the war and not to far into the war, the British army Officer is killed and now the Germans have Joey and they are the villains well pretty much very high ranking villains who use all horses they capture to pull the heavy artillery, which most every day horses will only last one month pulling the artillery, the majority of the story is Joes point of view from being a working horse on the farm to seeing both sides of war and having a few different owners, there are parts of the movie that are funny, sad, uncomfortable, emotional and you will shed a tear as well.
Joey the horse is a One in a Million horse with amazing strength, stamina and brains to boot, with some of the things Joey does you nearly forget he is a horse, so amazing and very well trained, the story was a bit slow at the start but this is needed for the story, there where places in the movie that for an adult are predictable but for children they will not be.
The sound effects where just amazing when the artillery fires and bombs explode you feel it through your body and it shakes your seat, with the amazing sound and huge screen you felt like you were there.
I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend this movie to my friends and family you will not be disappointed.
