31 Posts Of Halloween: Queen Of The Damned


Queen Of The Damned is a 2002 vampire movie based on the Anne Rice novel of the same name.

Okay, I'll admit that I enjoy a good vampire film. Heck, I even like a good gothic film. I want to know one thing though, who the hell green lit this movie?
I don't really know how to describe this film... I think Queen Of The Damned is supposed to be a sequel film to, Interview With A Vampire, but it doesn't seem like it.
I paused the film at about the half way mark, and that's when the conflict is first introduced. Everything before that is pretty much an incoherent mess.
The acting is subpar, and the actors seem like this is the first time that they were in front of a camera. It almost reminds me of that terrible Dracula film that had Bela Lugosi in it. The main characters over act or under act, but they never truly give a good performance.
This movie seems like it was made by someone who wanted to be a vampire and a goth yet knew nothing about either.
Queen Of The Damned is a terrible film that should have never been made, but I have seen much worse vampire films than this one.


final score: 2.2/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
