Thor, The Dark World

Want to know what a movie would look like if you crossed Star Wars with Lord of the Rings?

Go see the new movie from Marvel, Thor, The Dark World.  This movie brings a lot to the big screen.

Chris Hemsworth once again dons the red cape and swings the mighty MJOLNIR .  Competent performances from Natalie Portman, Anthony Hopkins, and Rene Russo.  The biggest thrill came from Tom Hiddleston once again portraying Thor's half brother LOKI.  He steals scene after scene and I loved it.  The big baddie is played by Christopher Eccleston he is ok but his part is muddied by some unclear motives.  Just understand that he wants to destroy everything including the 9 known universes.  Never clear where he plans to live after destroying everything either.

There are some good jokes tossed around and the special effects are nice.  I saw this movie in 3 D but found that sloppy.  See the movie in  IMAX and 2D if possible.

Lots of Asguardians die in this.  For such a great race they are suspectable to the sword.  Stay through the credits there are 2 extra scenes, one right after the start of credits and one at the very end of credits.

Review; HER CRY, LA LLORONA INVESTIGATIONS

The first movie from  the production company Dark Lightning Films is called HER CRY, LA LLORONA INVESTIGATIONS.  Not only the first movie of DLF but also of the Director, Damir Catic and Executive Producer, Ron Gelner.  With these new comers to the business and a cast of untested actors they banded together and created a gripping and scary movie.  The tale is based on the Mexican Folklore tale of La Llorona, other Hollywood tales with this similar story line have been "The Woman in Black" starring Daniel Radcliff and the recent "MAMA".
The movie revolves around 17 hours of found footage from a reality television show called, "Paranormal Investigations".  A Father of a missing teen contacts the creators of the reality show.   He thinks one of their past episodes deals with his daughters disappearance and wants them to reopen their investigation of the crying woman.  The show decides to help him.  They are never heard from again and the police turn up the tapes.
Catic is an able director, keeping his cast of new talent in the moment and the action moving.  The filming is good also.  You are told you are watching already shot unedited video so mistakes and goofs are expected.
The only flaws I had trouble with was the lighting which at times I found distracting.  There are amply scare scenes and even I jumped a couple of times getting caught up in the action and suspense of the film.
Gelner and Catic made HER CRY on a barebone budget.  Money for equipment and production cost came first.  None of the crew or cast were paid.
Hollywood should give Dark Lightning Films $750,000 to film and cast the remake.  Catic will give them a winner with enough tools and cash at his disposal.  He did well with very little and his star is on the horizon.
