Enchanted the movie

Walt Disney has released a new movie called Enchanted. This is one of those movies with the Space Jam attitude, mixing animation with real actors and stuff. I kinda like this approach and to think that this movie dwells in the story of a fairy tale in a modern world backdrop, this is going to an interesting film to watch with the whole family together.

The film has Amy Adams, James Marsden, and Patrick Dempsey as the main characters. My family is already pushing to bring them to the cinemas whenever the film hits theaters. And since I love them so much so I am gonna give them what they want.

I hope it will be a great experience.

Cool LOTR origami

I saw this pic from SlashFilm and I just can’t help but be amazed at this piece of Lord of the Rings origami. Eric Joisel is such a very talented guy. This has actually been my frustration ever since I was a child. I tried to learn but I failed. Origami is just nor for me.

Rise: Blood Hunter

Thanks to Lucy Liu, I was forced to watch Rise. I was not really planning to watch any movie that day but since I saw Lucy on the picture, so I thought this would be one hell of an action-packed movie. I can still remember Lucy kicking ass in Charlie’s Angels and Kill Bill.

Well, much to my disappointment, this is not one of Lucy’s best moments. I even think this is her worst movie ever. The story is not good to begin with and the action scenes, which I thought would be the film’s salvation didn’t do great either. Everything was a bloody mess, no pun intended.

Lucy’s character didn’t develop properly and it lacks the charisma that she used to display on screen with her previous movies. I saw a weak Lucy and that is never a good thing. She is supposed to be stronger than usual since she became a vampire but the opposite happened. It was terrible.

Anyway, for you to know what the movie is all about, here it is:

Rise is a supernatural thriller in which a reporter (Liu) wakes up in a morgue to discover she is no longer among the living. She vows revenge against the cult responsible for putting her there and hunts them down one by one. Chiklis plays “Rawlins,” a haunted police detective whose daughter is killed by the same cult and seeks answers for her gruesome death.

Sadie Blake, a reporter, becomes fully aware of the fact that she somehow died when she wakes up in a morgue. She then attempts to gain revenge upon the vampires that killed her by hunting them one by one. She is helped by Detective Clyde Rawlins, whose daughter was also killed by that same vampire clique.
