Ein Shams (2008)

Ein Shams: an eye upon Egypt

[10/10 · 23 May 2009]

I enjoyed the movie Ein Shams more than I can tell, yes, it's not the best film I've seen directing wise, and sometimes it goes into a long meaningless "Blah", but at least it's one of the few Egyptian movies that actually talks about Egypt itself. In the Egyptian movies usually you see a young and beautiful girl and a restless boy who falls in love, then there's tons of comic situations here and there, before they get married and we see the happy ending .. this movie is trying to tell you more about Egypt, and the Egyptians themselves .. it's more of an eye that looks and records the reality, without a script, without any filtering.

I advice you all to go and see the movie.

Skinwalkers (2006)

I gave it a solid 5 out of 10

Well, I just saw "Skinwalkers" and I find it kind of a "OK" movie, you can actually watch it while doing something else or having a conversation with the person next to you or even checking your emails ! you won't miss much if you lost track of what's going on ! and even if you felt like you lost a line or two, just think of any line that can work for the situation and here you go ! you got your own movie ! I'm not saying it's a bad movie, it's just not the best werewolf movie in the world (is there such a thing anyways ?! ) and it's not - by far - the best horror movie either ! So, if you're looking for something to kill time with, here's your movie, if you're looking for something else ! well, keep looking !

Feast (2005)

Suprisely funny

[7/10 · 19 January 2007]

So I watch this movie and I wasn't expecting much, I thought it's gonna be the kind of a movie that keep showing you bloody eyes and self-moving body parts .. and yes, this's exactly what it's .. but - and I don't know how to explain it - it's different from any other movie that play on the same field.

the way they made this movie to be funny, sarcastic, and scary was great, I liked the way they play with the stereotype people .. and the way they keep giving us funny profiles about everyone ..

Let's say that it's not one of the best horror movies that I ever seen, it's not one of the greatest movies in the history of cinema, and it's not the type of movie that stay in my mind for a long time .. but I enjoyed every second of it ..

and that's about it .. right ?! you watch the movies for the sack of joy ..
