Wow, a month without making any kind of post :x Damn I've been busy and I apologize! ^_^' When you are a freelance worker there are times that you have pretty much nothing to do and then times like this, I have so many stuff I can barely scratch myself.
Anyway! I wanted to make a post about Oddities and some pics of my (still small) collection. People get pretty curious about this subject, some just get freaked out, but I get a bunch of questions and sometimes stupid remarks, so I'll try to make this post the most insightful I can.
So, first of all, what the heck are oddities?
An odditie collection is a collection of the bizarre, odd, weird stuff, this can be pretty generic I know, but mostly it's a bundle of vintagecreepy objects, bones, preserved dead 'things', it can be animals or human parts, x-rays, medical and scientific trinkets in general, anything for the oddly curious :)
I think that odditie collectors just love anything with history, something that you can look upon and wonder everything that happened to that specific item until you got a hold of it.
(Jaws and spine bones of a dog)
"You're a sycho, why would you want to collect dead animals?"
Many people will say or think this of you, basically because they think that anything dead is disgusting or scary, I have a different perspective obviously. I don't think that because a living being died, it suddently gets disgusting, ugly and valueless. Death is just a part of our existence ( if you believe it to go on or not.. well that's another topic). I love animals and by collecting their bones or their preserved bodies I feel a connection to the little creatures, I find them beautifull and intriguing, I feel like I'm taking care of them now that they're at another "stage" of their existence. I have nothing but respect for them. Which brings me to another statment that people usually make which is - "You have no respect for animals." Obviously we have different perspectives. Most of the people I know throw their pets in the trash when they pass away, that for me is disrespectful, for some it isn't, so let´s just agree to disagree.
(Full skeleton of a dog, minus the skull, and huge unknown bone)
How can I start my collection?
The fastest and easiest way to get what you want is buying it. There are innumerous oddities stores in the US, but if you live somewhere else, like me, you're screwed. I really don't know any stores in Europe (if you do please share with me :P) and you can't buy online from the US because by law they can't ship any wildlife items (including preserved animals of any kind and bones) altough I've seen some sellers on eBay selling bones worldwide, but I haven't ordered from there yet, so I'm not sure how that works.
Here are some links if you are a lucky bastard and are able to order anything from them:
For those who can't order, or just prefer to get the items yourself instead of buying them (I must say, although harder, it is much more gratifying), you just need to get out in the 'wild' and look for them :)
I think I haven't mentioned this before, because I thought it was obvious, but anyway: DON'T KILL ANY ANIMALS FOR YOUR COLLECTION, everything collected must be done so because the animal is already dead, by natural causes or any way that you couldn't intervene in any way to help the animal or avoid his death. If you decide to buy something ASK the seller first what happened to the animal, how did he die, etc make sure you are NOT contributing to animal cruelty in any way.
Now that we got that out of the way, schedule an afternoon walk with a couple of friends for some "treasure" hunting! The more the merrier, since you have extra eyes to search for what sometimes can be really small stuff. If your friends don't wanna help you in your "treasure hunt" I'm sorry to say you don't have cool friends like mine, ah! :D
Search for green zones in your area, or anywhere you think there's a greater change to encounter wildlife. Don't forget to bring gloves with you! Dead animals are full of diseases, don't touch them bare-handed!
In my last search I found a skeleton of a dog, a huge rat and what I believe to be cat bones. I also found a fossil of a shell and a huge bone that I have no idea where it comes from.
(Bones from what I believe to be a huge rat or a small cat or most likely a mix of both, since I found a tiny paw, pic below, but also a big claw at the same place.)
This is starting to get a pretty big post, so I'm just gonna leave you with some helpful links and if you have any more questions just ask! :)
As promised before, here's the Kryolan Aquacolor cream 'pot' post! I'll have to call it 'pot' because honestly I can't say it's a cream eyeshadow or eyeliner or whatever, because it can be pretty much anything you want!
I'll use my aquacolor R27, which is a pretty purple, as an example to show you how versatile this product can be. I also have a black one, a white, a red and a frankenstein green and I'm pretty happy with all of them. I bought them for around 6€ each, which is pretty reasonable considering how big and functional they are. You can also mix this with water to get a more intense color with a slightly different shade.
I use the purple one everyday to draw my eyebrows and it still looks full, so I'm pretty sure this product will last me for a loooong time.
Note: I didn't use any kind of foundation or primer for this pics. The product was directly applied on my skin.
1. Lips
Because you can get different shades depedning on the amount of water you mix with your Aquacolor, you can get multiple results on your lips. I will warn you tho', your lips can get pretty dry, specially if you apply a thick coat with water, so I recommend you use some lip balm first and then apply the aquacolor (or you can try and mix both!)
2. Eyebrows
As I said previously I use this color everyday for my eyebrows ^^ There are some ocasions that I may draw them in black, but mostly I think this purple shade is a perfect combination with my hair :)
It might seem a bit too ligh or too pinkish sometimes, so to set it (less likely to smudge) and to make the color a little deeper, I puta bit of(a darker) purple eyeshadow on top of it.
3. Eyeliner
I don't use this method quite as often, since I like to wear mostly black eyeliner, but it's an awesome alternative to colorful cream eyeliners. Apply it with a wet brush, but not as much as you would for your lips, you still want it to have a pretty thick consistency.
4. Eyeshadow
This method doesn't work that well by itself, at least with this shade of purple, and the reason for that is: you're gonna look like you got punched in the eye :D It really has that bruise tone, and although I think it's a pretty neet effect - and I use this often for special effects make-up - for your daily basis is not the best look, so what you can do is using it as an eyeshadow base. If you want some purple eyeshadow to really pop, just use the R27 underneath.
In the pics I used the R27 only, no eyeshadow. It looks darker in the corner because I applied it with a wet brush, and it looks pinkish in the areas I applied (and smudged) with my finger.
5. Blush/Conturing
And finally! You can use this as a blush and conturing so it kinda counts as 2 :)
You really only need a tiny amount of product for the full drama effect. Use it dry obviously, unless you are going for a face paint makeup
And that's it! That was a long post :D Hope you find it helpful! ^^
Carnivalis a celebrationthat originatedin Greecebetween600-520BC. In this celebration the Greeks worshiped their gods and thanked them forsoil fertilityand production. It became acelebrationadoptedby the Catholic Churchin 590AD. It occurs immediately before Lent and that periodwasmarked by the period of "farewell tomeat" orthe Latin"carnevale" originating the term"carnival". During that time there was a large concentration ofpopular festivities. Each cityplayedin its own way,according totheir customs. Themoderncarnival, parades andcostumes are a product ofnineteenth-centuryVictorian society.
Nowadays Carnival has pretty much no connection to religious views and it's just an excuse for people to get drunk and party in costumes like crazy :D
And now that I have bored you with some cultural and historical trivia, here's the costume I wore this year! ^^
I was a Forest spirit! Or some fantasy-like-deer-faun-creature if you will :P The headpiece was self made including the antlers :) They were made with white clay and then painted with acrylics (the structure was made with tin foil). I attached them to a pretty thick head band, to support the weight (they weren't super heavy, but weren't that light either) and then added some artificial flowers ^^
To complete the costume I wore a big faux fur stole. The makeup unfortunatly had to be done in a hurry, I had very little time to do it so it looks a little bit rushed, but I was happy with it either way ^^
This is the only decent pic I have of the complete look :( I should have taken pics BEFORE going out, but I didn't. So by the end of the night with all the dancing and drinking my headpiece had taken a real beating -I lost half of the flowers, my antlers were all crooked and my makeup already smudging ^^'
Was able to take a decent pic of my makeup ^^
And a shot of my headband (without the flowers). Unbelivably the flowers were by far the most expensive element of my costume :X
Went to the club last Friday and this was the sparkly look I wore ^^ I used only one item for pretty much the whole look, my Kryolan purple cream pot which I'm completely in love with. Kryolan is one of my fav make-up brands, it has super affordable products, CRUELTY FREE, and they are super multi-functional! I can use the same cream pot as an eyeliner, eyeshadow, blush, lipstick and even to do my eyebrows! :D And you can mix it with water for an even stronger color and slightly different shade ^^
I'll do another post with the different ways you can use this product, cause it's defenitly worth it ^^
For this look I only had to throw some sparkles on it to "fairy" it up ^^ The gem in my forehead was glued with glitter-glue (not the best one, I admit) I was almost sure I was going to lose it in the club, but I didn't ^^ Well.. it fell once, but I was lucky enough to find it, even if it was pitch-black.
Uff, It's been a while since my last post, I should get this blog updated at least once a week, but I'm just lazeeh.
Anyway! A couple of weeks ago I was watching some videos by Amelie (a.k.a Delyria, you can see her youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/DelyriaPhoto), she does some beautiful make-up tutorials and some helpful videos with beauty tricks, and she's beautiful to look at also, so I'm a follower :P
She made a video organizing a little contest with Jenni (a.k.a Iva Insane, her blog: http://ivainsane.wordpress.com/), a gorgeous alternative model and hairdresser, you might also know her as Adora Batbrat's sister. So basically, the contest was a combination of this two ladies talents, Iva Insane modeling and Delyria photography (yes, I forgot to mention she's a photographer also). They made a beautiful photo session inspired by clowns, and Delyria was giving away 3 photos in high quality print of the mentioned photography session. You could win the photos by creating a piece of art that was related to clowns, and by a matter of chance I was working on my Le Petit Pierrot drawing at the time, remember? ^^ So I thought to myself "why not?" and sent my drawing to Delyria.
Maybe a week after, she sent me an email telling me that she and Iva Insane loved my work :) They picked me as the winner and she sent me the photos right away, she was super fast and super nice ^^
I got the photos with a little note from Delyria.
The prints have awesome quality, super thick paper with a little shine to it. My favourite is defenitly the one with the "metal clown nose". They are super creepy and adorable, just the way I like it :D
B&W eye - powder eyeshadow on top of cream eyeshadow to create a whiter white and a blacker black. Eyeliner and natural fluffy lashes.
For the lips - greyish purple lipstick on top and bottom corners smudged to the middle. And of course, to finish it of, for a whimsical look you just have to draw some little hearts or dots or bats or spiderwebs... uuuh, I'll be doing some of those for the next posts ^^
I'm super happy with my fast improvement with coloring with the "traditional" brushes at PS, such as the watercolor brush and airbrush ^^ This is only my second try with this coloring style and I already think it looks MUCH better then my first try ^^
My "cartoonish" style always had very harsh lines because I never removed the lineart, not that doing that is necesseraly a bad thing, but this way I can bring my character to a whole new level of creepiness and adorableness at the same time and it has that nice texture of a real oil or acrylic painting :)
Here's the WIP. I changed the color scheme nearly the end, I think her eyes and little hat are much more noticable now. What do you think?
Completly different from my last posts, but hey! I'm a movie and literature lover, so I felt the need to discuss this subject.
The question that hunts my mind from time to time is: Why do the Harry Potter movies suck so bad?
I think it is wise to remind you that this is my opinion and yours may differ. Just to avoid enraged fans ^^
When I was 11 years old, I had already read the 4 HP books that existed so far, and I LOVED them, I still do actually ^^, it was the year of 2000, and one year after that I was anxiously anticipating the new book, but instead we got a movie. "Alright, a movie!" I was super excited! I went to the premiere here in Portugal, and I was prepared to watch one of the most awesome movies ever created! - Girl, was I wrong - I almost cried with disappointment when I left the theatre.
I know, I know, you can't expect a movie to be better than the book and I really wasn't, but the movie didn't even tried! It didn't even made the book the tiniest little justice. It was and IS horrid.
I was sure it was gonna be a flop. Who in they're right mind would like the movie after reading the book which was FAR superior? Oh yeah, I forgot... most kids of my age didn't read that much and they didn't even know that the books existed, so many loved the movie, because let's face it, it is an immature movie, whereas the book isn't.
After the movie I got a bit "angry" at the HP fandom, 'cause I almost felt as a personal offense from JK Rowling letting my favourite book, at the time, be butchered like that :(
Many years after! We're in 2012, last week to be exact, and I decided to give the movies another try. I though - maybe the first movies were the worst, cause the cast was still young and unexperienced, yadda, yadda (which doesn't really matter 'cause the problem is not really the cast, cause there are GREAT actors in it, but yeah). Anyway, I decided to watch the Order of Phoenix (I ended up watching the previous movies too, when they aired on tv).
First of all, how can you even expect a consistent saga when the director isn't even the same? Let's see:
Sorcerer's Stone: Chris Columbus
Chamber of Secrets: Chris Columbus
Prisioner of Azkaban: Alfonso Cuarón
Goblet of Fire: Mike Newell
Order of Phoenix and so forth: David Yates
HP was actually David Yates first grand production (he had done some TV movies and mini-series only), I wish I could say it was also his last, but unfortunatelly it has been rumoured that he's been working on new projects, including a Tarzan movie (ouch).
I'll be talking about the Order of Phoenix only, for now, since it was the last one I've watched.
I can honestly say it's one of the worst directing and screenplay I've seen, besides B movies.
The story evolves in hyper-speed, you just want to shout "SLOW THE FUCK DOWN" at the screen. The way the scenes are connected, oh lawdy, it looks like Yates had a list of scenes he had to include from the book and how they connect to each other is completely overrated. It is also ironic how fast-paced the movie is and still.. incredibly boring.
Side Note: Did you know that the Sorcerer's Stone book has 310 pages and the Order of Phoenix has 870, but the first HP movie has 152 minutes while the fifth has 138? I mean, really?! So the book is almost triple the size, but the movie is shorter.. makes sense. It explains why it looks so freakin rushed and chopped.
In the book the character of Harry gets much more moody and complex, you realize he's not the perfect hero, neither was he's father, who was kinda douchebaggy actually. You get none of that in the movie, it's just good ol' Harry with that stale personality of his and no character development.
The only good parts were the few minutes Alan Rickman, Gary Oldman or Helena Boham Carter were on screen.
Now that I've shown my discontentment about the movies, I would really like to hear from people that love them and why. We all have different perspectives and opinions, but it intrigues me how one can love equally both books and movies. In some cases people are so obssessed about HP that they will love everything about it blindly (that's the bad thing about fandoms), so they can't have a objective perception of the movies. And there are some people that have never read the books and love the movies - Those I can't really understand :| Cause if you thought that shit was good, if you read the books your brain will freakin' explode!
And I'm not even sure if there are people that have read the books and seen the movies and prefer the movies O_O But if there are, I'd love to hear from you and hear your opinion :D
And to end this post here's a drawing of me as a Ravenclaw student :D
Argh, haven't posted anything for awhile! Altough I have been drawing almost non stop everytime I get some free time, so that's a good reason for neglecting my blog ^^
I'll just update with some crappy webcam shots of my makeup today.
And here's an extra of me discovering new uses for my plugs - pencil holders, of course! When you're drawing it comes pretty handy, the back of your ear only holds one :D
I have been feeling disenchanted with my art lately. It looks like I have been doing the same for ages, I wanted to do some different, something meaningful and appealing, but I was lacking motivation and inspiration. I can't remember the last time I've grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil and just doodled away. I've been drawing in digital form ONLY for at least 2 years - this week I decided to change that. I decided to sketch something just for fun, and realized how much I missed the simpleness of drawing random stuff with a regular pencil in a regular sheet of paper. My ""traditional"" style is completely different from my regular digital style, it's much more cartoonish and stylized, but it's good to be able to practise both.
As soon as I start sketching ideas started to pop up and I decided to do a line of works called "No justice for me" - Idea born from a conversation with a friend about misogynism, LGBTQ-phobia, rape culture and other depressing stuff that need you're attention.
I've finished 2 drawings so far, more to come!
Am I the only one who thinks the animated WIP's are just freakin hipnotazing? o_O
A couple of days ago me and a couple of friends went to the "Tea with Alice" exhibit at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon (it's going to be there 'till February 2013). Celebrating the 150th anniversary of the first telling of the
story by Lewis Carroll to the real Alice, the exhibition shows nearly
100 original illustrations of some of the most acclaimed contemporary
editions of the book, illustrated by 21 artists from around the world.
It's a small but pretty inspiring exhibit. The artworks are not hanged on the wall, as usual, but instead they are layed down on top of cute tea tables of all sizes and there are quotes of the book written in the walls. If you have the opportunity go check it out, it's worth it and it's free entrance! I think the exhibit is going to move back to London in March, but I'm not sure. If you want to want more about the it go here.
And this is what I looked like, I was in the wonderland mood, so I wore my new hat with little ears ^^ Pretty cozy and warm, perfect for this freezing weather. I also bought some new plugs, they are silicone and super plain but SO confortable, I had an hard time sleeping with my other plugs, they were hard plastic and they hurt my neck when I was laying down, I had to take them off :\
Yesh, yesh, I know I said I would probably post the hair horn tutorial this past weekend, but I didn't had the time ;___; I'm not even sure if I should do a picture or a video tutorial... I'll figure it out once I'm doing it. Instead I'll leave you a random make-up I wore some time ago. You can never go wrong with green + purple! It's a color combination that makes me happy and reminds me of Halloween for some reason.
Meanwhile I made a Goodreads account, you can add my profile HERE, and hopefully suggest me some good books :D
And now I'll just dive into Junji Ito's Uzumaki again. If you're a manga and especially an horror fan, I strongly suggest you to take a look at Junji's work, that man is a freak! :D That's some f*cked up manga right there, I'm loving it ^^
Haven't posted for a while. Gettin lazy with my posts! :|
Said I would do a tutorial about the hair horns and it's not forgotton! I'm hoping to do it this week, maybe post it on the weekend.
Moving on, a couple of days ago I got me some new glasses :D I'm just a bit far sighted so I don't have to wear 'em all the time, although I think they look pretty cute ^^, considering my last pair was freakin horrible on me :< And glasses, in general, don't really suit my face, unless they are huge, since I have pretty chubby cheeks. And these are big but not so big that they cover my eyebrows, which is good, and they are a pretty (very) dark purple.
So finally I decided to make my top 5 worst horror movies of the last 10 years. I decided to shorten the list by considering only movies made in the last 10 years because otherwise it would be way to incomplete. Well, it will always be incomplete because obviously I haven't seen every horror movie ever made (not even in the past 10 years) but you get the point! :D Further in the future I might make another list as an update, if I ever come across movies worst than these (jeez, that'll be a challenge). Or , if you really dislike me, you can recommend me some! :D
Alright, let's start the countdown!
5 - The Wicker Man (2006)
Synopsis A sheriff investigating the disappearance of a young girl from a small
island and discovers there's a larger mystery to solve among the island's
secretive, neo-pagan community. This is probably the most obvious choice ever for a terrible horror movie. But I had to pick it.
Pretty much everyone as seen this before or at least heard about it. It's pretty "mainstream" compared to my other choices, and I remember when it came out back in 2006, I saw the poster on theatres, but it never really appealed to me to go watch it. It has Nicholas Cage in it, so you automatically know it's gonna be bad, you just don't know how much.
This had a pretty good budget, so it has less excuses to suck this much. Obviously the money doesn't improve on acting or directing skills, but it can certainly help in other departments.
The Wicker Man was directed by Neil LaBute, and this was his first and only attempt at horror, he's reportoire is actually mostly made of comedies - and that's exactly what he did here: Pure comedy gold.
There are too many things wrong with this film, but if I had to pick the worst, it would probably be the UNBELIEVABLY bad acting by Nicholas Cage, the character he plays is so fake and truely.. unbelivable and unrealistic, you feel no emotion towards him cause you never get to actually "see" the character, since you're too damn distracted by Cage making a fool of himself.
Although, I have to admit, this movie is kinda of a guilty pleasure of mine, I've probably seen it at least 3/4 times, and if it happens to be on tv, I just can't stop watching it! It's so bad that it's... almost good. First time I watched it I laughed so hard, tears rolled down my cheeks. And I still laugh every time I see it. It's an awesome movie to be seen with friends - better than any comedy, I assure you. It has so many memorable bad moments, you'll be quoting this movie for the rest of your life. Who can forget about the bees? Oh, NOT the bees! :D
4 - Summer's Blood (2009)
Synopsis
A family of serial killers stalk a young woman out to find the father she's never known.
First of all, is that the funniest trailer you've seen in a while or what? That narrator is priceless x)
From all my picks, this movie has the highest score on IMDB with a rate of 4.4, which believe me,it's a really HIGH score. So I came to the sad conclusion that this high rating is due to the lead actress Ashley Greene - "Because she is a good actress?" - you might ask - nah, far from that. Because she starred in Twilight, that's why. And the only people you see getting excited about this movie are Twihards. Which, honestly, I really can't understand, because her "acting" is painful, to say the least, but hey, who can understand Twihards anyway?
So, this movie was the biggest waste of time from all the bad horror movies I've seen, just because you really don't even have to watch, the story is all summed up in the synopsis "A family of serial killers stalk a young woman out to find the father she's never known." - If you think about it for 2 seconds I think you can figure out the ending ""twist"", so the smallest synopsis ever, managed to spoil the movie... that takes skills! - not that it would be even remotely good without the spoiler. Because if you couldn't figure out the ending by the synposis, you will in the first 5 minutes of the movie.
Needless to say: predictable, predictable, predictable. Has one of the funniest death scenes I ever seen in a movie. No character development, I couldn't care less about any of the characters, I'm just hoping they all die quickly so the torture of watching this doesn't take any longer. And one of the stupidest, pointless finales.
3 - House of the Dead (2003)
Synopsis
A group of teens arrive on an island for a rave--only to discover the
island has been taken over by zombies. The group takes refuge in a house
where they try to survive the night.
Number 3, my choices for the top 3 are preeetty close together.
Of course at least one of Uwe Boll movies had to be on top 5! I'm picking only one, the worst IMO, otherwise this would be a list made out of this man's filmography. You don't know who Boll is? I'm not sure if I'm happy for you or you just missing out the fun. Uwe Boll's one of the worst directors of our time, and the bastard just doesn't give up. People are comparing him to Ed Wood, but Wood actually built a pretty solid group of fans over the time, he became a cult (although probably not because of his movies, but for being an inspiration as a man for some). I surely hope that doesn't happen do Boll.
Many of his movies are interpretations of videogames, such as House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, BloodRayne, Postal, etc, so not only are the movies bad by themselves, they also spite the rage of many fans of the original stories.
House of the Dead begins like any other slasher movie - young people go to certain place, young people get killed- but is horribly written, horribly acted, horribly directed, horribly produced, has horrible special effects/make-up (I swear my Halloween zombie make-up is 1000x better) takes itself way to serious considering the laughable plot and it's incredibly BORING. My brain just turned off half way and I've seen the rest of the movie completly braindead hoping it would end soon. At least you can still have some laughs and enjoy the best dialogues you could ever hope for:
"You did it to become immortal...why?"
"To live forever."
2 - Jack O'Lantern (2004)
Synopsis
A violent spirit that manifests itself in the form of a Jack O'Lantern avenges people who have been wronged.
We're almost at the top! Number 2 is Jack O'Latern. I don't even know where to begin with this one, cause I'm not even sure if I can call this piece of crap a "movie", it just seems like a school project ( a very bad one), it has AMATEUR written all over it. The acting is just non-existent, the plot was pretty obvious, you can figure out the ending in the first 10 minute. It's really useless to enumerate everything that went wrong in this, because everything did. It just makes your eyes hurt for 94 long minutes. The only reason this is not number 1, it's because it's pretty forgettable. When I watched it, 30 min later I had pretty much forgotten that this movie even existed, and I barely remember any details of the plot now, since it was so trivial.
The only question in my mind is: Why would someone want to publish something like this?! It´s so ridiculously amateur, I can't really think of another word to describe it. And it's not like I've downloaded this from an undergound B-horror site or something, I actually rent it!
1 - Rottweiller (2004)
Synopsis
Dante travels across a desolate, futuristic Spain in search of his
girlfriend, Ula. He is pursued by a bloodthirsty, cybernetic Rottweiler.
Whoo-hoo, We got to number one! Rottweiller - What a gem. This is everything an horror movie shouldn't be. First of all, something that always makes me frown : making animals the "bad guy" - Oh noes, let's all fear rottweillers, because they are evil dogs! :<; Unless you're expecting a cliché ending such as - "but wait, after all, the real beasts are not animals.. but Humans!" *tun tun TUN* - But nah, you're not having non of that here, who cares about a moral ending anyway? Screw your morals, we got a cybernetic killer dog right here!
So, what I learned from this movie, is that the background story doesn't really matter, since I'm having an hard time believing that someone would think that the plot was actually somewhatdecent, what matters is that we have a killer dogthat looks suspiciouslylike the Terminator - with terrible CGI.
They tried to give all the focus they could to Rotty, but the dog doens't even have a reason to exhist! Where the heck did this cybernetic dog came from?! And why and how? Because this is futuristic Spain that's why, it should explain everything!
Basically, the movie is a chase, Dante (the main character), is chasing after Ula (his loved one), and Rotty is chasing Dante, because Dante is an escaped prisioner. Rotty had numerous chances to kill Dante, but this is not your ordinary dog, he's TRUE evil, he's not only a killer, he's also a racist and misogynist. He could have killed Dante, which was his primary goal, and would have ended the movie right there and saved us all the trouble, sure - but not when there are still black people and women on the screen! Which fortunately for our main character, where showing up all the time, so they kept little Rotty busy.
I have to say my heart broke a little when I recognizedIvana Baquero when the movie was halfway, she played Ofelia in Pan's Labyrinth, I loved her acting, and thought she was a very talented young actress, who would have thought that 2 years before she was doing such crappy movies? What a waste of talent.
In conclusion, this deserves number one because it's not only bad, it's so bad it's hard to forget, it will HAUNT you! The acting, the nonsense plot, the CGI, the ending - all too bad to be true.
For a grand closure I will leave you with the best acting of the entire movie, done by:Chicken
And that's it! That was a loooooooong post, and still I tried to keep my comments short, but hope you enjoyed it ^^
Don't forget this is only my personal opinion based on the movies I've seen, you're entitled to have a different one, etc, etc, etc.
(Jaws and spine bones of a dog)
