Twilight

Twilight: period on either side of night-time; l'heure bleue or Blue Hour ideal for the photographers and painters; activity time for Crepuscular creatures like Hamster, moose, red panda and some moths, beetles and flies; time for endless possibilities for the ever-optimists and hopeless romantics.

Chaos (2007)

Director:Tony Giglio
Cast: Jason Statham, Ryan Phillippe, Wesley Snipes

Writer-Director Tony Giglio seemed to be fascinated with the idea that less visual effect would make any movie an old-school classic. In the extra material in the DVD, he talks a lot about how we don't make those movies anymore. Well, this one lacks the special effects alright, but he forgot to add life and to make it interesting. The climactic twist is contrived and dumb. I could not stand the strange and funny face Wesley Snipes made throughout the movie. Am a big fan of Jason Statham (just for his action, I see other actors' movies if I need good acting) and he might have done many bad movies, but he was always charismatic in them. Here his role, despite of all his efforts, never takes off to that level. And Ryan Phillippe sleepwalks till the end. But then, he was good probably only once, in 'Cruel Intensions'.

In simple words, bad movie.
