REVIEW: Evening [2007]

“We are all mysterious creatures” After seeing the trailer for Evening, you will probably first think about how great the cast is involved, (I mean they even got Rocky Horror’s own Brad, Barry Bostwick, to show the world he is still acting), and the next second about how they just showed us the entire movie.

“I’m ending our friendship” With Honors is one of those films that I remember enjoying back in the day, but never could recall what actually happened in it, let alone what it was about.

However, you cannot say he doesn’t have both artistic vision and deft skill at shooting a film. Sure the guy likes to blow things up. But being able to consistently make work with the amount of preparation and choreography his necessitates deserves some credit. When the idea of a live action Transformers movie was being bandied…
