The 3rd film in the Subculture story

The third film in the Subculture saga goes back masses of years to give an explanation for the origins of the feud between the vampire Death Dealers and the werewolf Lycans.

Taking over directing requirements from Len Wiseman in Rise of the Lycans blu-ray, is rookie Patrick Tatoupolos, known for his creature-designing needs in Godzilla ( 1998 ), I am Legend (2007), and the first two films in this series.

Less an action-horror film than an old school “sword-and-sandal” film with monsters, Rise of the Lycans blu-ray eventually gets to the root of why those vampires and werewolves truly can’t stand one another.

Ruled by Viktor ( Bill Nighy, Valkyrie ), the classy, vampiric Death Dealers keep the wolflike Lycans as slaves. When a captive Lycan lady births a human boy, Viktor resists the need to kill it, instead naming him Lucian and keeping him as a pet.

Lucian ( Michael Sheen, Frost/Nixon) grows up to be a blacksmith with the power to change between human and wolf and starts a clandestine romance with Viktor’s daughter, Sonja ( Rhona Mitra, Doomsday ). Viktor learns of this banned romance and takes drastic steps to make sure that Sonja will never be able to see Lucian again.

Lucian, in retaliation, leads a Rise of the Lycans blu-ray slave revolt, ensuing in an all-out attack on Viktor’s kingdom. Though spectators who have skipped the first two installments of the story may feel a little left out when it comes to the mythology of the series, Rise of the Lycans blue ray dvd hits the ground running and doesn’t allow much time for questions.

While Sheen has been praised for his work in more traditionally dramatic films, here he gives his all to each snarl and battle cry. Mitra is an appealing presence as Sonja, and Nighy is visibly relishing the opportunity to glower in his blue contacts and chew the moonlight-bathed scenery.

If you’ve had enough Oscar-nominated oatmeal, and you’re in the mood for a gigantic bowl of sweet cereal with no nutritional content, Subculture : Rise of the Lycans blu-ray is prepared for you to sink your fake fangs into it. While Alfred Hitchcock and more recently M. Night Shyamalan have teetered between if to write roles for themselves into their own scripts, there’s no skidding for Underworld character writer Kevin Grevioux.

Kevin James takes the role of a single pop in this mostly physical comedy

Coming off the finale of TV’s well-liked sitcom The King of Queens and 2007′s I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, comedian Kevin James takes the job of a single dad in this largely physical comedy, Paul Blart Blu-ray that the actor also co-wrote.

Paul Blart ( James ) is a tough employee, but has never landed his dream job of being New Jersey state trooper due to his excess weight. Driven to support his mummy and his child, Blart takes the slightly less glamorous post as the safety guard at his local shopping mall. He never complains, approaching the job with provoking diligence and pride, but doesn’t get much respect for it.

It’s only when a grouping of misfits in Santa’s Aid disguises take hold of the mall and many hostages that Blart’s would-be cop smarts turn out to be useful and he gets a chance to shine. With a dangerous situation on hand, Blart may eventually be able to show the world (and his romantic interest, who just actually is one of the hostages) what he is made of. Though the villains have many benefits over him, Blart has a Segway scooter and an enormous heart on his side.

While plenty of its jokes come at the cost of James’s extra pounds, like other blu ray movies at last makes its star out to be a hero. With his everyman appeal, James is well-suited to play Blart, showing that even average Joes can make a change with the right perspective. Paul Blart: Mall Cop takes the banal out of the shopping mall, infusing a familiar setting with energy, laughs, and high-stakes drama.

Paul Blart Blu-ray is like the many variations on tuna surprise that show up at potlucks : common but with a little something added to distinguish it. The end product won’t win any Oscars, but the sides of this slapstick action film retain James’s blitzkrieg humorous character, making for a light comic journey I am positive children will flip for. Co-produced by Adam Sandler, Mall Cop has an innate sweetness that is reminiscent of Sandler’s 1998 romantic comedy The Wedding Singer, although the laughs don’t quite reach those levels.

Kevin James is hard not to love in Paul Blart Blu-ray. He’s a huge, nerdy, friendly doofus better suited for a half-an-hour Television show like The King of Queens than making an attempt to carry a 90-minute flick. James takes a Segway, a cheesy mustache and the comic idea of Die Hard in a mall and bumbles his way to a lightweight but often funny film for the whole family.
