Film 274/365, Day 304/365 – King Kong

Beautiful, captivating and action packed.  This is without a doubt a fantastically made film, everything about it oozes charisma.  My only criticism is that it is a little too long to make it a film you can watch again and again, best saved as a treat every once a while.  The effects are magical and the fight between Kong and the T-Rex is awesome!

Synopsis:  Desperate to make the greatest film the world has ever seen an ambitious director takes his crew to Skull Island where they encounter far more than they had imagined.  Before long they are fighting for their lives until a more lucrative opportunity presents itself.

Film 180/365, Day 192/365 – Predators

Finally, the sequel the original Predator film deserves.  Sorry Danny Glover but you are no Arnie substitute, but saying that I didn’t think Adrien Brody would be but he was actually pretty good. Obviously it’s not as good as the original but is a good action film and definitely worth watching.

Synopsis:  On Earth they are the best of the worst, contract killers, special forces and criminals, here they are prey.  They were snatched from Earth and transported to a mysterious jungle planet were they will be hunted for sport by a group of Predators.

Film 96/365, Day 106/365 – Splice

Very strange and creepy!  Splice is a very dark and sinister tale showing just how far people are willing to go in the pursuit of answers.  Whilst it was well a told and compelling story I found it hard to connect with the scientists as they continue to make mistake after mistake.  It is worth watching but be prepared to be weirded out!

Synopsis: When two scientists are told that they cannot take their gene splicing experiments further by introduce human DNA they do it anyway!  The result is an odd creature that continues to develop long after it is born.  They continue to hide and monitor this new species that is aging at a very advanced rate but are they really ready for what they will discover?
