The Entertainment Gecko: Green Zone (2010)

http://entertainmentgecko.blogspot.com/2010/06/green-zone-2010.html

Movie Reviews, Trailers, Clips and Analysis. Monday, June 28, 2010. Bursts with the kinetic energy and authenticity that the director Paul Greengrass is known for. It mixes facts and fiction by draping a fictional hunt for weapons of mass destruction around the Iraq conflict. This is controversial and bold, but the gamble largely pays off (if you can ignore the sometimes overbearing political bluster). The movie is filmed with hand-held cameras with quick cuts, typical of Greengrass’s style. It...Critica...

The Entertainment Gecko: Merantau (2009)

http://entertainmentgecko.blogspot.com/2010/03/merantau-2009.html

Movie Reviews, Trailers, Clips and Analysis. Thursday, March 18, 2010. In much the same way that Ong Bak (2003). Heralded the breakthrough of tony Jaa, Merantau (2009). Introduces Iko Uwais. It's the most impressive martial arts movie I've seen in the last five years, and boasts fluid fight choreography, expertly filmed to highlight its intricacy. The fights feature the Indonesian martial art of Silat, and are intricately choreographed and very organic. There are many long takes and wide shots, and a...

The Entertainment Gecko: The Social Network

http://entertainmentgecko.blogspot.com/2010/11/social-network.html

Movie Reviews, Trailers, Clips and Analysis. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Is a witty, well-paced and intense movie about the lawsuits that surrounded the birth of Facebook. It's not, however, a movie about social networking – the drama revolves around the relationship between the founders, those who considered Facebook intellectual theft, and those who saw the potential of the social networking site. The dialogue is witty and clever, and the soundtrack by Trent Reznor is suitably haunting. I'm not clear ho...

http://entertainmentgecko.blogspot.com/2010/06/exam-2009.html

Movie Reviews, Trailers, Clips and Analysis. Sunday, June 6, 2010. Starts with an interesting premise, boasts sharp direction and is often tense, but the meandering script and an unsatisfying conclusion left me disappointed.

The Entertainment Gecko: The Finest Martial Arts Fight Ever Filmed

http://entertainmentgecko.blogspot.com/2010/02/finest-martial-arts-fight-ever-filmed.html

Movie Reviews, Trailers, Clips and Analysis. Friday, February 26, 2010. The Finest Martial Arts Fight Ever Filmed. Drunken Master 2 (1994). Contains the finest martial arts fight ever filmed. The beauty is in the athleticism of the participants, the beauty of the choreography, and the care and attention on lavished on the editing, lighting and environment. My favorite sequence in the fight is when Jackie leads with his right shoulder, swinging his left leg back and into the air. And forces Jackie back.

The Entertainment Gecko: February 2010

http://entertainmentgecko.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html

Movie Reviews, Trailers, Clips and Analysis. Sunday, February 28, 2010. When I saw Rec. Rec was filmed from the point of view of the cameraman - although I'm not a big fan of Michael Bay-style shaky-cam, it worked well in the movie; it provided a sense of immediacy that amplified the tension. The shaky-cam is shakier, more so in the action scenes and sometimes it's difficult to adequately tell what's happening to who. It's not overly annoying, though; if the filmmakers wanted viewers confused and dis...
