Enjoyable Cage movie, quite thrilling storyline
5 February 2012
This movie surprised me, since many people claim that Cage only has "bad" films. This one is actually quite good. In fact, I was about to give it an 8, but due a few bad actors I couldn't.

I think Cage acted good in this film. The story is easy to follow, so no brain cracking mysteries that make you think by the end of the film "what the hell happened." I really can't stand complex endings.

In easy words, it's an enjoyable thriller about a guy who's wife gets raped. In the hospital, this strange guy in a suit does this proposal to kill the rapist for him. As he agrees with doubts, it soon turns out he needs to kill other people for him to repay this civic organization who "seek justice". Of course, he doesn't want to kill people and asks the same guy to get out of his life. If only it was that simple...

I recommend to see it! Enough action, thrilling scenes, mostly well-chosen actors. It's a 7 alright!

Terra Nova (I) (2011)
2/10
A mixture of Avatar and Lost
21 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Either im spoiled, or this show is really average, maybe below average. The story lines are flimsy, predictable, cliché and trite. Many actors simply aren't the right person for the role, especially Jim Shannon (played by Jason O'Mara.) There are so many elements in this show that are so bored off, like the father and son that don't get along, the mother that is always worried... Also I would like to refer to the show "Lost" and the way "the sixters" are the reflection of "the others". It was disappointing too see the same style of people they are: wearing worn, old clothes, living separated and being called "the bad guys". Me in person, I really had enough of that thing. Also, how ridiculous is it that Shannon arrives and gets to be the Commanders best buddy and preserver after less than 1 day. .

One thing is for sure: The writers got their inspiration from Avater, maybe from Jurassic Park, and wanted to do something special, but failed - in my opinion.

Let me just enumerate a few positive remarks about the show: You get to see quite nice images, animals and dinosaurs are done good, the music is OK too.
