31 Posts Of Halloween: Nosferatu

Nosferatu is a 1922 vampire film based off of the work of Bram Stocker. I can understand why Bram's wife didn't like this movie.

Alright, I'm not going to be explaining the plot for this film, as the story is pretty straight forward, and I've already done another review of a Dracula film. Plus this is going to be pretty short.
So... I found this movie to be quite dull, and boring. My gaze often wandered, and it just couldn't hold my interest.
I do enjoy the story of Dracula, but this film is nothing but a bastardized version of the original. They change names, and plot, leaving whole sections out of the original story.
Some of the visuals are interesting given the time period and the tech they had available, but that doesn't excuse it from poor storytelling.
I think that I went into this movie a little overhyped, which I really should have lowered my expectations.
Even though this movie kinda sucks, Nosferatu is one of those films you might want to see, just so you can say you have. Yet, I would understand if you don't want to watch this movie at all. Nosferatu was a let down.

final score: 2/5

The Batman Movie Review A Solid Noir Film I went and saw The Batman the other day with one of my buddies and I must say, we really enjoyed it. Granted I don't think this movie is for everyone. The Batman follows Batman (Robert Pattinson) during his second year of crime fighting. When the mayor of Gotham is killed by The Riddler (Paul Dano), it is up to Batman with the help of James Gordon (Jeffery Wright), and Selina Kyle (Zoë Kravitz) to stop him. From a visual point of view, The Batman is gorgeous. Every frame is a painting. The acting is solid, the plot is solid. The musical score is outstanding. I personally loved the film, but there are some things in it that could off-set some Batman fans. I typically get into the acting first, but like you've probably already heard many reviewers say before, the city is a character in this film. Gotham feels real, grounded, and certainly not a place you'd want to visit. Corruption and crime run rampant at every level of society. The ...
