The Forsaken (2001)
10/10
Yeah okay it's trashy...

... but then what do you expect? It's a Vampire movie, it's about killing, eating and having fun. And quite frankly I had more fun with this movie than with most other movies I have seen lately.

Not Oscar Material, but hey, it is definitely way better than other movies like Driven.

Driven (2001)
1/10
Ugh! Who let this out?
2 May 2001
Okay, I didn't expect much of this movie. I mainly went in because I saw them shooting the car chase scene on University Avenue last Summer. But what they showed in the end was really bad.

I should add that I am originally from Germany and are just now living for some time in Toronto, neverthless my biggest gripes are with the "German" race.

1. They mixed the locations wildly, in the end the race apparently is somewhere around Munich, AFAIK there is no race track around there who could support it.

2. Cars etc, are clearly american and not german / european ones.

3. Unlike the US, Germany ONLY uses Celcius on the temperature scale, not Fahrenheit.

4. Weathermaps are usually labelled in GERMAN on german TV and not in English, much less do they feel the need to put in the country names, I guess that's because germans know where their country is.

The Japan shots (the "party") was shot in Toronto as well: Nathan Phillips Square, if you look in the back of the scene you see some street signs that are clearly not Japanese.

Those are the things I saw on the first "run" and I am NOT going to watch that all again.
