After my long and aggravating journey of waiting ever so patiently for the studios to release 10,000 B.C., now, I can tell you that this epic and (soon to be) BLOCK BUSTER film was truly amazing, well worth the wait and the price of admission. This prehistoric action adventure told a powerful and brilliant story of Love, Family, Courage and Resolve. This film had a soft canvas, bight colors and all the creative elements to complete a beautiful Masterpiece.

I felt the thrill of the clan’s hunt and their sorrow due to hunger. The film’s spectacular action sequence’s in the jungle with the giant prehistoric birds trying to eat them was absolutely magnificent. The jittery suspense in this film will make your body twitch as the clan hunts its prey through the valley or when they run for their lifes in the jungle, trying to escape certain death, either by man or by beast. The stand alone warrior unites all the clans and tribes in hopes that they can free their people from slavery. The battle plan to charge the large magnanimous Mammoths down the pyramid work ramp, killing hundreds of enemy combatants was delivered, (smack), right down the center, man! What a roller coaster!

I give kudos to the Director/Screenwriter, Roland Emmerich for a well polished film. The computer and special effects team hit a home run when they gave us, the fast action herds of large Mammoths and the angry unpredictable spirit of the Saber Tooth Tiger scenes. Steven Strait, Camilla Belle, Cliff Curtis, Omar Sharif and Tim Barlow all delivered solid performances in their rolls. The music score from Harald Kloser and Thomas Wander gave this film real power, baby. All the details were there.

I don’t understand why this film is getting poor reviews from the professionals. I predict this film will gross over $100 million domestically. Don’t wait around on this one folks, get to the theaters. This film will be added to my DVD collection, when released. I rated this film 8/10.

Eastern Promises

DVD Movie Review

This hit Russian mobster movie really delivered a bold and powerful punch with an edgy sword. The films storyline flowed with ease and the graphic violence delivered a "Shock & Awe" to its audience. What a ride. Oh Yeah!

This film proves that stories of ruthless crime families still exists around the world and not just in America. Tattoos will always tell ones stories and where they've been. Eastern Promises lacked music & pre-selected thumping music scores to keep the audience twitching and holding on to their chairs.

The Cast & Crew delivered masterfully and the film was well scripted. But it was the skillful acting that got this film the Oscar Nominations. Over all, I really liked this film. It was a pretty good movie and it had moments of true grit, but I must say, I didn't like the way the director ended it! I rated this film a 7/10.
