Red Banana Films: Action/Adventure 2-D Theme

Prometheus Review

Intense. That was the word people used to describe Prometheus coming out the midnight screening last night. The film was beautifully shot and Ridley Scott didn’t disappoint. He didn’t want to call it a prequel, but I’m sorry Prometheus is everything a prequel was suppose to be, if we’re relating it to Alien & Aliens. With heart pounding moments, along with some gruesome scenes, it lived up to the hype. The beginning made you feel like you were actually on board the Prometheus, but sometimes made you feel left out…

There were many questions unanswered and that can be taken as a negative or a positive depends on how  you look at it. What made Elizabeth (Noomi Rapace) and Charlie (Logan Marshall-Green) think that these “Engineers” invited them? What was David’s (Michael Fassbender) motive? Many questions were left unanswered, but that’s the great thing about this film. After I left the theater I was left with what ifs and my buddy and I were discussing the first two films in Alien and Aliens. Which I believe was Ridley Scott’s motive. Personally after watching Prometheus it made want to go grab me a Blur-Ray copy of the Alien franchise and watch Aliens all day. The atmosphere in the film was surreal really out of this World cinematography. Michael Fassbender performance was mind blowing, he fits that robot role to perfection. His character David was unpredictable and visceral at times, which was really good for the tone of the film. Charlize Theron is sooooo hot in this film. She played Meredith Vickers, the bitch of the film in other words. Her mysterious facial expressions and her attitude was phenomenal, but when she got her hands on that flamethrower, well, let’s just say it was an intense moment for me.

Overall I Ioved this film, I would recommend if you haven’t watch Alien or Aliens, to watch those before you set foot on Prometheus. Not to say you wouldn’t like it, but it would make you feel oblivious to the plot of the story. Prometheus is everything I could ask for, however it left me itching for more answers which hopefully will be answered in the near future. It just makes you wonder what if mankind was manufactured. There were to lines that I loved from the film, which was delivered exceptionally by Fassbender. “Big things have small beginnings” which made me shiver with excitement and in the scene where Charlie is questioning the purpose of the mission before sipping on the [SPOLIER] infected alcoholic drink was priceless. I really enjoyed this film, and give it an 8.3. It wasn’t Alien, but what will be? There could have been more things answered, but hey, if it makes me want to watch Alien again, it must have done something right.  

The Zombie Apocalypse Is Here. It Was For The Month Of May.

When the face-eater attacked last weekend, people were quick to shun the strange behavior in Florida because, well, weird shit happens in the Sunshine State. But we were very wrong. In the past week, a man from New Jersey flung intestines at cops and another man ate another man’s heart in Maryland. And though news outlets are looking for a quick fix to explain all of this ratchet behavior, we know what time it is: end times. We’ve gathered 15 news stories from the last few weeks that prove the zombie apocalypse is here. (Complex)

When you got roommates eating your brains and heart, a rash virus spreads out a school, man bites cousin’s nose off, not to mention other incidents like a man devouring a cat with his teeth it just makes you wonder who our neighbors are. Then I heard of Lowe’s employees getting bitten by a contractor. Then it hit me, I’m not even safe at work.

The most disturbing part of this story is the suspect’s, Christopher Newman, ratchet mugshot, complete with shitty neck tattoos (yes, that does say “The Cure”) and beady eyes staring right into your soul. Newman tried to shoplift from a Lowe’s in Georgia so very desperate to fix up his crib, began threatening employees with a knife and biting them until they bled. He went berserk, causing $135 worth of property damage inside the store. (Randalls)

For the man from Florida,it has to be bad luck to get 75% of your face chewed off and be homeless. What ever the man or zombie, sniffed, smoke, or in this case ate, it really has bad taste. At least get bite off Kim K, seems like everyone getting one in these days. I’m not saying it’s the start of a Zombie Apocalypse, but when a dude bites off another dude’s face and doesn’t react to being shot…perhaps we should consider it… Well it’s been one heck of a ride.
