VAMPIRES SUCK Posted by Galaxy_Zone at 8:10 PM

Cast: Matt Lanter, Chris Riggi, Jenn Proske, Anneliese van der Pol, Ken Jeong

Synopsis:
Becca Crane (Jenn Proske) can not make a choice. He could not possibly choose Edward (Matt Lanter), because it meant he had lost Jacob Black (Chris Riggi), and vice versa. The problem is not making any choice is not a wise move. When the dance day nears, Becca was getting restless.

Problems can be complicated because Edward is a vampire while Jacob is a werewolf. Fortunately no one knows the secret of these two people, including Becca's father is very protective. At the same time, Buffy (Krystal Mayo), the vampire hunters also are targeting Edward and his family.

Review:
If the short stories above remind you of the TWILIGHT SAGA, you are not wrong because it's Vampires SUCK aka spoof parody version of the series adapted from the book by Stephenie Meyer that. Although it sometimes feels cynical, but certainly this film is trying to provoke laughter from the silliness surrounding the vampire story.

There is a definite formula for a movie like this parody. Films like this should be made based on scenes in the movie they make jokes and it seems it is precisely this which sometimes makes the film a parody of old so not for long. Immediately after the movie was over, the memories of the film itself would evaporate out. Rarely are writers who can make a parody script that can stand alone as a complete film.

This time, parody specialists Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are also responsible for the making of films DATE MOVIE, EPIC MOVIE, or Disaster Movie tries to make fun of TWILIGHT series has always been the talk everywhere. Those who already bored with TWILIGHT, vampires SUCK so it's like a fresh breeze that would remove their disgust at this one series.

As might be expected, vampires SUCK is also not free from the grip movie parody. Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer took a few scenes of TWILIGHT and make it a joke. Unfortunately, the effort was stopped there. This movie script was just there to string the scenes funny (or who they think is funny) so as not to look like pieces of clips together just like that.

Because this formula also caught the acting talent Matt Lanter, Jenn Proske, and Chris Riggi so no excavation. If there is any that stand out probably is Ken Jeong Ken appearance this time though not as good as when in The Hangover. In conclusion, this film is fit to watch when you really want off fatigue from daily activities and do not expect more than that.

THE BACK-UP PLAN Posted by Galaxy_Zone at 8:04 PM

Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Alex O'Loughlin, Noureen DeWulf, Melissa McCarthy, Eric Christian Olsen

Zoe desired (Jennifer Lopez) is looking for the right man to marry because she wanted to have offspring. Many Zoe tried but seems to find the right man for the job is not easy. Almost desperate, Zoe decides she must immediately find another way or he would never have children as he wanted.

Zoe reckless. He intends to have children even without a husband. Artificial insemination is the chosen solution Zoe. But alas, when Zoe was doing this natural fertilization process does not he actually met Stan (Alex O'Loughlin), a man who could be Zoe's been waiting for this.

When Zoe and Stan began a love affair, Zoe started to get stuck. Zoe did not want to lose Stan but he also could not hide the fetus is now growing in her womb. Unexpectedly, when Zoe told him what he had done, Stan did not feel the objection and determined to continue their relationship.

Time passed and the stomach Zoe started getting bigger. At times like this, Zoe and Stan began to doubt the decisions they have done. It may be that this is a sign that they did not mate but can be also this is just a test because they both had been destined together.

To be honest, the basic idea of this movie is actually quite interesting. Many of the side that can be worked and perhaps even able to make this film more interesting. In fact, Alan Poul, the director chose to play safe by not touching the area earlier, perhaps in order not to provoke controversy, but that instead it is what makes this film tends to be a boring spectacle.

What is clear, the story line is very easy to guess, even just from reading a brief synopsis of this film. Hollywood did not dare to make something dramatic like in the movies from Asia and this can not be blamed for deviating from the existing standard means the risk of losing money. With the provision of assurance that this movie would end with a happy ending then there remains only a matter of extending the story line to meet the quota to be called as a feature film.

Again, here, Alan Poul failed because the audience clearly knew that ties between the two main characters are going on-off before reaching climax. So, the only one who can rely on only two main actors of this movie. Although not exactly bad but acting Jennifer Lopez and Alex O'Loughlin also can not say very good. To be sure both of them have an attractive physical appearance and attractiveness so that's what this movie.
