B-Movie as it can be, the actors are not familiar I can't recognize big names or ever recall the actors now, for a while I thought it can be a great film, when i saw the plot concerning a missing link wherein the Church panic for the findings of the archeologist about the missing link between humans and apes proving that God did not created humans on the sixth day, but after seeing the holy bible for a second the brilliant conflict vanished, the whole movie became like a scene from Arnold's THE PREDATOR (7/10). The appearance and infra vision of the ape men are very predator like, the deep voice and dreadnought and nothing more than a copycat monsters from previous film.
The ending is so simple, if only they opted to be more unique and creative and maybe held on to the "church thing" plot this could have been a good sci-fi horror film..
5/10

Eclipse (Twilight Saga)
Finally I got to watch the latest hyped movie of the year, and I may say this is the best yet(among the installments). Twilight (7/10) - the primer of the saga is nothing much of an an introduction of the characters, but vital one especially Richard Pattinson's.. being the lead role, a vampire whose characteristic is different from the popular folklore (actually the novel created a new world of two of the most popular folkloric horror creatures in the western world -wolves and vampires by giving them different or maybe unique attributes, a vampire that is not afraid of the sun and a wolf that can shapeshift anytime), as Edward Cullen he made an iconic portrayal and I believed he is the source of the success of the saga's film, he made the character so like-able to all girls,and to some guys..haha, some credit to Stewart also who made the love team a huge success. In New Moon (7.5/10) Jacobs character came to rise to build a love triangle that is a hit to every teen-agers, making the popularity of the franchise even bigger.
In Eclipse (8/10)the battle between the cold and hotter became more intense, the very reason that I favor this installment is the action, fighting scenes are more exciting.. a more improved CGI and much better script.. the now famous TENT SCENE proved that the script writing is dramatically improved compared to the previous ones; the Twilight..believe by many as having an horrible script.
In the end it matters to me that I (together with Bebeh) enjoyed and keep enjoying the saga. Enough of the "mushy comments" that I have been reading throughout the forum, stop the whining, after all this is a love story in the first place, if you are wanting to have bloodier and non-stop action vampire/wolves movies better see Blade (8/10) or The Underworld Series 1 and 2 only (9/10)the prequel sucks..

Cheaper by the Dozen
A great family..feel-good comedy film, that mirrors how a big family can be happy and catastrophic at the same time, I for one comes from a big family only 2 shy away from a dozen, but never actually lived with them (part of my regrets). This film realistically in a comic way at times illustrate the difficulty of raising a big family, lots of sacrifices were to be made including your own dreams and aspiration, as the parents choices revealed as the story progresses. 12 is big number as it is, but the happiness and joy that it can bring is as big as the number itself. Parenting is a job that is so underrated in trials and rewards. It may require everything but in the end it will give you everything in return..
My Rating 9.5/10

The Road
Post-apocalyptic film in a dramatic approach, based on the novel of the same title, this is a unique approach on how mankind would face its end, (usually action-pack, zombie creeping dooms land)this is rather melancholy, simple but horrifying struggle for the preservation of humanity, the scenery is very good, and according to the film makers those shots are not CGI dependents.
I suggest however to watch this at your most energetic or relax mood, as it so sad that you might fall sleep or find to dragging to continue to watch, holy hour or late night viewing where in your eyes are heavy is not recommended. No action -pack scenes, no climactic ending, just slow and sad journey..
Tha man (Viggo Mortensen) is brilliant in his role.
7.5/10
