Moon Child (2003) DVD Review

There have been plenty of movies that have blended multiple very different genres seamlessly. Brotherhood Of The Wolf combined horror with a martial arts epic and was better for it. Moon Child tried to do this but couldn’t quite pull it off. It reached just a bit too far. It’s a vampire movie, it’s a gangster movie, an action movie, a romance, and a little bit of everything else as well. It’s also sort of a jumbled mess because of it. The movie showed flashes of brilliance from the cast and crew but there was some incredibly uneven moments as well. Not the greatest movie I have seen but there was enough going for it that I will seek out the directors and main cast’s next projects.

Dark World (2008) – DVD Review

When a film comes along, entitled Dark World, you expect something dark, gritty, and maybe, if you’re lucky, a throwback to the days of noir films. Apparently, that’s exactly what writer/director, Zia Mojabi, was going for with his second film. But, he missed his mark, and what we get instead, is a rather boring movie.
