31 Posts Of Halloween: The Transfiguration

The Transfiguration is a 2016 vampire film, and it's probably the strangest vampire film I've seen in a while.

So, The Transfiguration follows a guy named Milo (Eric Ruffin) as he goes out and thinks he is a real vampire, and does some real vampire stuff like drink blood of his victims. He's still in school and lives with his older brother. Milo soon befriends/dates the new girl that moves into his apartment building, Sophie (Chloe Levine).
My thoughts? Well, this movie feels long, and by long I mean very long. There are a ton of scenes of no talking and I understand silence can be used to create mood, but it just drags. I felt like they could have easily cut 15 minutes from this film.
The acting in the movie is well done however. Eric Ruffin gives a good performance as does Chloe Levine. The actors are fine, and I would watch some of their other work if presented. I think the problem might have been the director wanting to go for more artistic shots rather than practical.
The Transfiguration has the bones of a good film. It has an interesting premise, and a good cast, but it wasn't constructed in the way it should have been.

final score: 2.6/5

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...
