Unknown (2011)


A mystery directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, starring Liam Neeson.
A man gets in a car accident and is in a coma for 4 days. When he wakes up and leaves the hospital to go back to his life, he has been replaced. He must figure out who he is while violent people try to hunt him down. He turns to the cab driver who saved him in the accident for help.
New Hollywood bullshit. The plot would have been alright and the characters fine if it was filmed before a fist fight needed 7 camera angles strung together in rapid succession. There are some intense (and very disorienting) car chases that probably took at least 20 cameras to shoot. Imagine how many cameras $40 million (this film's budget) can buy. We've established that I don't like the camera-work, the pacing or the style, so this gets a poor review.

Orphan (2009)


A horror directed by Jaume Collet-Serra.
A rich family with 2 children adopts a 3rd child. Things start to go wrong when they bring her home.
The audio and video were good.

This isn't too bad for such a new film. The volume levels were good, they abstained from special effects and the plot was kind of cool. I'm not saying rush out on a quest to watch it, but if you get a chance, you'll probably like it.
