The Da Vinci Code (2006)

good idea..poor display..

[7/10 · 26 May 2006]

this movie...well to begin with was very intriguing...I liked the idea...you know just your basic, something isn't right, and that everyone has been lied to into believing something that isn't true...that fact is..they movie displayed potential but in the end the flow of the movie was all wrong..

the movie climaxed three times leaving the audience to believe that the ending was near and that 3 hours, ten bucks was wasted...

this would sound good hindsight..keep the viewer guessing but in fact...the problem was..the climax came too often and every time, the viewer new what the climax was..making the ending. middle and beginning predictable and minute...

saying that. while it was predictable it was like a terrible relationship ending because you knew it would... in the end you are felt with relief and satisfaction..

Guitarman (1994 TV Movie)

Saskatchewan at its best

[5/10 · 6 November 2005]

This movie is no Oscar nominee...

However... it does represent Saskatchewan and its film industry.

Guitarman is a recent interpretation of the Pide-Piper fairytale with a small farming twist, while this does seem like a child story; the movie still holds some great value.

The move itself has great composition and the cinematography is sensational, it truly captivates a Saskatchewan sunsets like no other... although this movie has a little production value, its plot fails to succeed as well as its acting.

The acting at times appears to be a bit cliché, and incredible slow… even when Shawn Ashmore (X-men, as iceman) does increase the production value, the movie still lacks content, feeling, as well as character development.

The plot is where the movie takes a turn for the worst, an over-used, over stimulated story of the Pide-Piper is used. It's cute at times and fairly comprehensive, but at the same time it lacks content and vitality; it fails to entertain the viewer, and its main goal is to get across its moral or lesson.

Overall a great step in the small town Canadian film industry..

5/10 (in comparison to the rest, as for Saskatchewan films, 8/10!) see it if you are from Saskatchewan, or if you want to learn more about it.
