Valentine's Day (2010) (French)

 
Que faites-vous lorsque vous jam-pack un large éventail d'acteurs dans un film ? Donnez-leur une histoire avant qu'ils sont réunissent à la fin. Nous regardons plusieurs personnages expérience Valentine's jour dans leur propre point de vue, y compris les enfants ! Donc ce qui film tournent autour ? Imfidelity, sexuelle rencontre, chagrin, déception, passion, solitude. C'est comme si nous en rappelle les obstacles de vraies personnes le jour de la Saint-Valentin. Plusieurs histoires sont distinctes et indépendantes, mais quelques-uns convergent à la fin comme si pour favoriser l'histoire of.one solitaire, pathétique âme qui déteste la Saint-Valentin. 

Dans l'observateur d'un ensemble ne peuvent pas faire face à plusieurs histoires indépendantes ; sans parler de la tentative de personnages à faire certains rit seulement ce qui a entraîné un goût amer. Ce film s'accumule aux moments qui éviterait la plupart des téléspectateurs avec une cellule du cerveau : dialogue ridicule, soif d'attention de médias, séjour chez les adolescentes, expérience des enfants et « connaissance » de la Saint-Valentin. Ce film a essentiellement peint une image négative de la Saint-Valentin.

Blade: Trinity (2004) (French)

Lame est de retour et cette fois, il doit faire face à quelque chose de beaucoup plus grand : les médias. Quand il tue un vampire, les cendres ne laisse aucun élément de preuve ; ce n'est pas le cas quand il tue un être humain, cependant, et quelqu'un a mis en place et enregistrées sur bande vidéo de lui. Il est recherché par la police et le FBI ; lui et Whistler n'ont aucun autre choix que de se défendre dans le monde. Choses prennent un mauvais tournant quand Whistler est tué et la lame est appréhendé. Il semble que la lame est tout seul et sans défense... jusqu'à l'aide arrive !

Deux est une entreprise ; trois est une foule. Mais en lame Blade II avait déjà plus de trois dans son groupe. Lame estime qu'il est très difficile vu Abigail Whistler et Hannibal King, combattant à ses côtés. En fait, il relègue les amateurs, si mal que ça sonnait comme Wesley Snipes a été de ne pas agir du tout mais a dénigrer le directeur la décision d'avoir des personnages humains combattent aux côtés de la lame et relever des scènes plus que lui. En fait, la critique de la lame est une évaluation réelle de ce film.

Donc un méchant est en ville : son nom est Drake. Oui, je sais, il ne pas même ressemble à un vrai méchant à moins qu'il enfile sa vraie forme. Il est en colère qu'il a été réveillé après des millénaires de la dormance. Il estime qu'il est inutile de se lancer dans cette escapade jusqu'à ce que ses disciples ne parviennent pas à dompter la lame. En fait, j'ai ai vu jouer une partie comme un toutous à Danica Talos. Danica se montre elle-même d'être plus féroce que Drake, vocalement et apparemment. Je me demande même pourquoi ils réveilla Drake en premier lieu. (Ils croient qu'à travers lui, ils peuvent devenir immortels. Quoi que.)

Donc, ce qui a créé une telle mauvaise réception vers ce film ? Le fait que la lame a été rétrogradé à un personnage secondaire dans son propre film tandis que ses acolytes reprennent les rôles principaux. Hannibal parle à beaucoup et fait des commentaires stupides. Abigail obtient émotionnelle sur toute affaire qui nous occupe. Deux d'entre eux ne possèdent pas de capacités spéciales et peuvent s'avérer vrai crue. Je ne vois pas comment lame peut endurer surtout le roi, comme le montre une scène où il se bloque en et ignore lui enchaîné à un plancher de béton.

Je pense que ce film aurait eu plus d'élan si Drake avait une motivation pour son apparence. Tel qu'il apparaît qu'il n'en a pas ; la seule raison de sa présence est donc les Nightstalkers peut cultiver son sang et concevoir un virus « Daystar » spécial d'exterminer tous les vampires. En fait, regarder en arrière pour les films précédents je peux voir les motivations des méchants primaires : Deacon Frost a voulu réveiller un Dieu du sang, La Magra ; Jared Nomak voulait prendre sa revanche sur ses créateurs pour le largage de lui. Drake, qui s'était retirée de ce monde, s'en fout pour sa race déchue.

Malheureusement, ce film pensé que si Blade II pourrait englober plusieurs autres personnages et toujours réussir, qu'elle ne pourrait faire la même chose et encore passer. Mais comme on peut l'observer, lame n'a pas été satisfait de cette séquence d'événements depuis la mort de Whistler. Nous, aussi, n'avons pas été impressionnés par la façon dont ils ont décidé de renverser les rôles pour favoriser les subordonnés de ce film. Moins d'effusion de sang et pas de gore, forte utilisation du c-mot dans un film classé 15, sont juste un affaissement. Je considère ce film comme passable et inférieure.

The A-Team (2010)

Here is a movie based on a television series of the same name. There are four guys who form a unit: Colonel Hannibal Smith, Bosco B.A. Baracus, Lt. Faceman Peck, and Captain H.M. Murdock. Together, they are the A-Team. They are renowned for planning ahead and executing their actions at precise moments of their missions. But they are also renowned for their crazy antics in carrying out their assignments. Speaking of which, there are several  fight scenes where the laws of physics are overlooked, to the point where little strikes result in large impacts on objects.

These guys will blow your mind with their taste for danger and adventure. They are just the same in terms of never giving it a break when they are pursuing their adversary, or when the reverse occurs. Baracus loves his van so much he treats it like a woman. Does he even have a real woman to begin with? Faceman is cocky and profane: he just does not seem to be bothered by any predicament he finds himself in, because he knows that his comrades have his back. Murdock is mentally unstable, but can still fly a helicopter! I really think that none of his comrades were willing to take the chance with him flying the machine, yet he flies it anywhere. Hannibal, the leader of the gang, loves it when it all comes together. Oh by the way, let's see Faceman kiss a woman after puking and not rinsing his mouth; Hannibal shoot at Baracus' arm for no apparent reason. I'm pretty sure these guys are as smart as teenage boys who long for senseless action. And did I forget to mention Baracus has "Pity" tattooed on his left knuckles, and "Fool" on his right? I guess he was trying to pose as a Mr. T spoof, which he fails to do as he cries like a baby at the destruction of his van.

So the story revolves around stamping down on the printing of American money outside of the US. They must retrieve the plates, and apprehend the mastermind in Iraq. Apparently, the A-Team has no authority to intervene in this operation, but nonetheless partake in this adventure.

You will notice that every time Hannibal issues instructions to his comrades, it is as if he narrating the sequence of events. This gives the impression that everything goes according to his intended plan, even though there is likely to be a hitch in the scheme. Nonetheless, it all goes according to plan. Unrealistic. You know, vandalizing and stealing people's property should attract suspicion from them and result in sanctions. But no, these guys think that nothing can go wrong at all. So watch them cause immense damage to containers and vehicles on a stretch of road without getting hurt on any circumstance.

But immediately after Hannibal's favorite tagline, an explosion occurs in the container containing piles of dollar notes. Guess he spoke too soon and that line must be not so lucky. The gang find out that their rivals were present at the time of the explosion, leading up to a conclusion that they were framed. They discover that General Russell Morrison was involved in this botched operation and blown up. Each and every one of the comrades are court-marshaled and discharged dishonorably. Now they have to break out and clear their names, and finish their mission.

As usual there must be a series of comical instances during the prison escapes, notably in this one scene where mental patients were heavily convinced that a truck plowing into a wall was three-dimensional.  It is surprising that the truck was able to plow into the very exact spot at the same time as the movie projection, with no screen hanging on the wall. One would wonder if this writing is in line with reality.

By the way, this movie incorporates CGI in a few scenes, including one involving a tank being bombarded by unmanned drones, and another involving containers being inundated with over-the-top action scenes. I can never imagine a tank of immense weight being sustained by three parachutes. And do watch out for shaky camera movements accompanied by "flying the tank" in midair. This scene ends with a man throwing dynamite into a river, being killed by a tank; his wife delighting in that. Is she really that cold?

So this movie takes it time to round up on this plot. These guys have to outsmart a female character played by Jessica Biel. She shows how serious she can get when tracking a pack of troublemakers on the run from the law. She poses as a threat to the guys as she can not be talked into by any of these guys, nor can she be negotiated with. She needs more conviction to break.

I would rather sum this up as a movie where boys will be boys. If you like corny dialogue, over-the-top action, a convoluted plot and abundant humor, watch this flick. I have never watched the TV series on which this movie is based, but as a movie it has its moments.

Blade: Trinity (2004)

Blade is back, and this time he has to deal with something much bigger: the media. When he kills a vampire, the ash leaves no evidence; this is not the case when he kills a human, though, and someone has set him up and videotaped him. He is wanted by the police and FBI; he and Whistler have no choice but to defend themselves from the world. Things take a turn for the worse when Whistler is killed and Blade is apprehended. It looks like Blade is all alone and helpless.....until help arrives!

Two is a company; three is a crowd. But in Blade II Blade already had more than three in his group. Blade finds it very difficult having Abigail Whistler and Hannibal King fighting alongside him. In fact, he denounces them as amateurs, so badly that it sounded like Wesley Snipes was not acting at all but was disparaging the director's decision to have human characters fight alongside Blade, and take up more screen time than him. In fact, Blade's criticism is a real evaluation in this movie.

So a villain is in town: his name is Drake. Yeah, I know, he does not even look like a true villain unless he dons his true form. He is angry that he has been awoken after millennia of dormancy. He finds it pointless to embark on this escapade until his followers fail to subdue Blade. In fact, I have seen him play a part as a lapdog to Danica Talos. Danica shows herself to be fiercer than Drake, vocally and facially. I even wonder why they awoke Drake in the first place. (They believe that through him they can become immortal. Whatever.)

So what has created such a poor reception towards this movie? The fact that Blade has been demoted to a secondary character in his own movie while his sidekicks take up the main roles. Hannibal talks too much and makes inane comments. Abigail gets emotional over any matter at hand. Both of them do not possess special abilities and can prove to be real deadweights. I do not see how Blade can put up with mostly King, as shown in a scene where he crashes in and ignores him chained up to a concrete floor.

I think this movie would have had more momentum if Drake had a motivation for his appearance. As it appears he does not have one; the only reason for his presence is so the Nightstalkers can cultivate his blood and design a special "Daystar" virus to wipe out all the vampires. In fact, looking back to the previous movies I can see the motivations of the primary villains: Deacon Frost wanted to awaken a blood god, La Magra; Jared Nomak wanted to take his revenge on his creators for jettisoning him. Drake, who retreated from this world, could care less for his fallen race.

Unfortunately this movie thought that if Blade II could encompass several other characters and still succeed, than it would do the same and still pass. But as it can be observed, Blade hasn't been pleased with this sequence of events since the death of Whistler. We, too, haven't been impressed by the way they have decided to turn the tables to favor the subordinates in this movie. Less bloodshed, no gore, strong use of the c-word in a 15-rated movie, are just a washout. I think of this movie as passable and inferior.
