Until about six years ago, when I took it up a little more seriously and made a little more effort towards it. Talking about this passion, he said: "I've always loved music and I have been DJing for over 15 years, but for several years, it was only something I did for fun. Elijah Wood was just 5 when he fell in love with scary movies after watching this obscure film about a man who catches his wife in bed with another man and goes insane. He is here with his Wooden Wisdom partner Zach Cowie to entertain fans with a mix of international music. He has also featured in movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sin City, Everything Is Illuminated, apart from lending his voice in animated films, including Happy Feet, 9 and Spyro among others.īut his love for music is what has brought Elijah to India. He reprised his role as Frodo again in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.(Also Read: Elijah Wood's Favourite Indian Things: Chai.
So, I just do different work."Īs a teenager, he had worked in some films, but his most high-profile and notable role came with The Lord of the Rings trilogy. One's perception of that connection is not something I think about. Of the 'Frodo Baggins' image, he told IANS: "I honestly don't think about it. The 34-year-old actor is in India on a three-city music tour.
He said that his effort is always to do "different" work, and not necessarily to break any "image". Fun movie here.Actor Elijah Wood doesn't mind the fact that he continues to be referred as Frodo Baggins of the Lord of the Rings series, despite having worked in several other films during his career.
So yea, I know not everyone will like this movie, as evidenced by the reception, but I had a blast watching this so, to me, this is an easy recommendation as a rental. I enjoyed it so much more than the rating would ever imply. I wouldn't say this movie was really good, I don't think it really did reach that level, but i had a hell of a time watching this movie. Not excellent, or anything, but still solid and does a great job at highlight the cast's talents. There's nothing that scary here, but there's some good tension built up and the zombie kids, while you can probably take one at a time, when they swarm you then they become viable threats, at least for what the film is trying to accomplish. I will say that I did like how Clint/Wade/Lucy love triangle played out and not necessarily in the way one would expect. It just makes the film more entertaining to watch. I don't mean to suggest that the characters themselves are all that complex, but I think the cast clearly had a blast filming this and, as always, I think that's really important in a film like this. The only one, out of the entire teachers, that I was unfamiliar with was Nasim Pedrad, she's done SNL, but she more than held her own and clearly has an eye for improv if the special features on the DVD are to be trusted. As far as horror films go, this might have one of the better casts of 2015. And, of course, no review of this film would be complete without mentioning how great the cast is. Not in this one, while it had two writers, it still feels like a movie with one vision, not two different visions of two different writers who don't mesh well together. Usually, when two people coming from completely different stylistic backgrounds get together to write, there's certain inconsistencies and tonal shifts depending on who wrote which particular part of the film.
I think the fact that you had two screenwriters, Ian Brennan and Leigh Whannell, who specialized in comedy and horror, respectively, so I think that they definitely learned a lot from each other's respective style of writing. I'm not saying that either of these are great or mind-blowing, but the film finds a good balance between the two that, I think, is really hard to achieve for a lot of people. I have to completely disagree with the latter, because I think the film did about as good a job as is possible in balancing the horror and comedic aspects of the film. Either because they were being compared to some of the classics in the horror/comedy genre or, as the consensus on here states, there's not a good enough of either comedy or horror in the film.
ELIJAH WOODS NEW MOVIE COOTIES PROFESSIONAL
And I'm not even suggesting that the professional and audience scores are wrong, but I just think that the film, in a lot of respects, didn't really get a fair shot. I'm not here to suggest that this is an amazing horror/comedy, because it's not, but I think that both the professional and audience reactions to this film sort of underrate how much fun the film is to actually watch. Sue me, but I thought this film was quite a bit of fun, all things considered.
