The covenant Review **SPOILERS**
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
I want the last 2 hours of my life back. let me inform you of something there is one unspoken rule of movies that are so obviously marketed toward goth kids and that rule is this.... under no circumstances should you make the main charecters look like they belong in a boy band. So the questions on every body's mind: is this movie any good.
let me make this perfectly clear right now. no this movie is not good. no matter how the previews look, it is not good. the writing is some of the worst I have ever seen, the acting is awful and well the entire premise, while possibly cool, plays like and after school special
so lets say for a second that you have super powers... like being able to make a car reconstruct after getting smashed by a truck (like in the preview)
you would think that your super powers are pretty much limitless. Well that was pretty much the only really big thing they did throughout the entire movie. it was almost like they blew there special effects load in the first 20 minutes of the movie. They never once explain what they can and cannot do. they just never seem to do anything really after that. And if for some reason you can make it to the end of this abortion and watch the final fight, not only will you be disappointed at how un-sinister the bad guy is, or how lackluster the fight is, but you will also be treated to one of the worst line in cinematic history. There is one line that should never ever ever ever be said in a movie and that line is "I am going to make you my WEE-OTCH". ok maybe in a comedy but never in a movie where they are obviously trying to take everything seriously. and if against my advice, and most likely your better judgement you actually want to see this thing, pay attention for the after school special anti drug scene. Although there are some amusing moments none of them are intentional in the slightest. It is just like a trian wreck. I cinematic train wreck. Imagine if you will the Craft. it was a good movie... now is that in your head.... good. Take that movie and take everything good out of it, the script the diolouge, the special effects, adn replace it with something you would see in a B film that goes straight to DVD, and you have this piece of trash. Take the final battle for instance. you would imagine that there would be some cool sort of special effects involved with alot of explosions and cool shit happening... well my friends you would be wrong, all they do is throw balls of shimmering air at each other while saying stupid lines. And I have one question, if this society this covenant is so secret why is there a book about it in the library?.
I believe that about sums it up for this movie. it should never have been made.
so until next time. The is the Chic Assasin saying good hunting all, and may you find better game than this movie

A few movie reviews
Alright folks its time for my movie round up... which I am going to start trying to do at least once a week.
First up this week I have the movie Beerfest from the guys who brought you super troopers and club dread. Now to be perfectly honest I was a bit scared when I went in to see this film. I loved super troopers. It is probably on my top 10 favorite films of all time. but I was not a fan of club dread so much. I thought it was a good movie but it lost the magic of Super Troopers. so it was with some trepidation in my heart as I went to see this movie.
And let me just say it was all for nothing. This movie is easily on par with Super Troopers. It is a great beer soaked romp of comedy. I laughed so hard I hurt myself. The only thing that could have made this movie any better would have been if I had a case of beer in front of me and the ability to drink it all while watching this movie. I do not have words to describe how giddy happy this movie made me. its definitly not a smart movie. but After you see it you will want Das Boot. trust me. Go see this at all costs if you like comedy movies.
next up this time around I have Accepted with Justin Long (from Dodgeball and Waiting). This is one of the rare movies that pays homage to a long ago 80s movie and does it well. It is also probably the first college comedy I have seen in a while that I thought was any good. it was like someone took Revenge of the Nerds and Animal House and mixed them together to get the gooey ball of goodness that this film is. It is spot on. very very well done, and Justin Long is just magic in this movie. There is something about his timing and his every dork persona that just works in this movie. as to what this movie is about. A guy cannot get accepted into any college so he forms his own. from there it follows the normal formulaic plot all the way to the ending where the good guys win the day over the assholes at the preppy college.
well that about sums it up for now. these are the first reviews I have written in quite a while so bear with me as I am sure they will get better. I hope to back later today with a review of The Covenant. and possibly a few others in the next few days.
so until next time. The is the Chic Assasin saying good hunting all
