BloodRayne (2005)
Better than cabin fever- barely
Movie had pretty scenery and nice sets. That is about the nicest thing I can say about it. I figured with the cast it would be pretty good, and I think it could have been had they spent more money on the production. I thought the actress who played Bloodrayne was pretty good and very pretty. She made the movie worth the eight bucks I spent.
The action scenes pretty much ruined the movie. They were not very well filmed and a bit hard to follow. People who like blood and gore will like the effects though.
The obviously aluminum swords the actors were using had visibly blunt edges that really looked cheesy. Monty Python had better looking weapons. You could actually watch them get dinged up during the duels, and during the close ups you could see the gouges in the metal. Guess they could not afford nicer swords for the close up shots. Perhaps this was petty of me to complain about, but it was very obviously cheesy, particularly with Michael Madsen not even bothering to have a sheath for his sword.
I don't regret going to see it, it was better than cabin fever, but it was not very good.
Mafioso: The Father, the Son (2001)
Really enjoyed this movie
Movie had a lot going for it. The actors were well cast especially Sal M, (the actor playing Frankie) The characters were lovable and well developed. My girlfriend actually got sad when certain characters were harmed. There was some good humor as well.
The plot was interesting and was solid throughout the movie. There was violence like most mob movies, though I have to say I thought this movie used it better than most. The action itself was interesting and well choreographed for the most part.
I liked the ending and the music was good too. Best mob movie I've seen in a long while.
