Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter Bites, In a Good Way.

Movie review by Kenneith Alexander Wright Vazquez

Lawyer, husband, father, President and slayer of the undead. ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER is a kinetic, jarring and dynamically fast paced journey through a fictional unseen chapter in the life of "Honest Abe".

Director Timur Bekmambetov (Nightwatch, Daywatch, Wanted) brings his usual volatile and hyper visual style to everything. From hacking a tree to blistering pieces on one stroke, a wild and nearly cartoony chase through a stampede of wild horses to a fast and blurry smackdown with a vampire horde on top of a speeding locomotive. Timur just knows how to make any set piece beautiful and impossibly plausible. Even the vampires looked like ancient beastial and crone like monsters.

Snow White and The Huntstman its Hi(ghs) and Hos

A review of Snow White and the Huntsman currently in theaters


By Kenneth Alexander Wright Vazquez




‎"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all? SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN is not only the fairest but the most gorgeous fantasy film in resent years. The photography and production design is so beautiful and sumptuous to look at and evocative of genre films from the 80s such as WILLOW, KRULL, LABYRINTH and DRAGONSLAYER.

First time director Rupert Sanders took The Brothers Grim beloved classic and re-imagined it with a damsel in not so much distress turned into a hero for the people under the guidance of a tragic yet battle hardened huntsman. Every frame of this tale is alive with cinematic magic that makes the darkest of dungeons and most sinister of marshes come to elegant life.

Prometheus where Aliens are Hatched.

A review of the movie Prometheus by Kenneth Alexander Wright Vazquez


It doesn't take long for PROMETHEUS to quickly take the viewer back to the cinematic universe and genre defining narrative that director Ridley Scott help create. Immediately after the film opens it is quite clear that this movie is a return to norm and to science fiction with intellect.

Get Gone

I'll admit, I wasn't ready and waiting to see this movie, mainly because of its star, Amanda Seyfried, she had put out seven movies before this from 2009 to 2012, I felt the world was on Seyfried overload. From Dear John immediately followed by Letters to Juliet and then Red Riding Hood, it didn't seem like we could go a month without another Seyfried movie, and since those looked like sappy predictable love stories, I grouped Gone along with them.

I was wrong, Gone is a great thriller starring Seyfried and a group of actors that you think you might know, but can't really pin point where. Sebastian Stan is in it, he played Bucky Barnes in Captain America and more recently the Mad Hatter on the TV show Once Upon a Time.

Straw Dog Remake Takes to Long to Get Good.

Straw Dogs starring James Marsden, Kate Bosworth and Alexander Skarsgard came out in September of 2011, I watched it on demand via Time Warner Cable just the other night. This rated R thriller clocks in at nearly two hours and it takes about an hour and a half before it gets any type of scary.

Marsden and Bosworth play a married couple returning to her small town where she of course was the cheerleader who dated the quarterback, Skarsgard. They stay in her parents house to allow for documentary movie writer, Marsden to work on a script he's doing for a World War 2 movie.
