Blindness - a movie worth watching
Short movie review: A virus blinding people instantly strikes Earth, pushing humanity to the edge of it’s existence - an interesting but violent disaster movie!
The plot in a few words: Starting off with an Asian man the disease affects more and more people. There is no explanation or treatment, everyone who gets it goes blind in short period of time. Eventually, government takes drastic measures detaining the sick ones without any help and barely any support. As the situation gets worse, the authorities lose more and more control over the plaque anarchy and violence start to reign inside the detention camp as much as out side of it. However, what no one knows it that Julianne Mores vision is perfectly fine and that she just followed her blinded husband. Among all the people struk by this blindness, she turns to be the one who has the biggest burden to carry..
Flickcritique says: It’s an interesting idea for a disaster movie, however the plot seems a bit long-winded. It’s probably because the movie has some depth and there is more about the story then just the blindness. It’s also a drama about an estranged couple fighting for their relationship. Except for the violence I liked the movie, probably even more because of it’s ending. A bit aging but still very attractive Julianne Moore does a fine acting job once again. I was also delighted to see Alice Braga (remember her being Ana in I am Legend?) staging the promiscuous woman with dark glasses. It’s not a high budget, global disaster flick with horrifying effects. It’s rather the simplicity of the pictures that transforms the gravity of the situation. It’s a movie worth watching.
Watch it if you liked: Think of the movie as a mix of 28 Days Later… (2002) and The Happening (2008), except there are no flesh eating zombies and no killing plants, either. In Blindness the true evil are the people.
A very good friend of mine told me my reviews were short but not short enough, let’s say for information purists 
He asked my why I would not draw the plot in 3 simple images. So this is the first attempt 
Don’t like reading? Well, just take a look on the short cartoon review and you will know what the Blindness flick is about 
What is the Blindness movie about?
And if you still need more visual information, enjoy the trailer!

The Mutant Chronicles - C-class movie
Movie critic in a nutshell: C-class apocalyptic mutant movie, with for some reason a good cast - still crap 
The Plot: The world as we know it is no more. A global conflict between mining corporations reigns over what’s left of the planet. Until an ancient seal is broken, unveiling an army of scary mutants with blades growing out their forearms, forcing all humans to stick together in order to survive.
Flickcritique says: What a piece of crap! I can’t believe some good actors agreed to join this c-class movie project. I like Ron Perlman, recently seen in Hellboy 2. And I have respect for John Malkovich, who made my day when I watched Burn After Reading. But this? It’s a low tech, kinda First World War/Industrial Revolution-style movie with cheap effects and no real story
Side note: I almost pissed my pants seeing German wannabe actor Benno Fürmann playing a retro WWI commander role. I guess it was an attempt to become a real actor The guy really should have stayed in his German hicksville
Watch it f you liked: No, don’t! Even if you like mutant movies this is a s bad as Doomsday. Just don’t watch this, you would be wasting your time
