(Movie) The Howling : Reborn, I need some times to kill

I watched this movie, The Howling Reborn, yesterday before I went to campus. A movie that I didn't really want to watch honestly. But long story. Ah better to spill it out right away here.So here’s the story why I ended up watching this movie. Lol. 

Actually one of my senior announcer fella today asked me to backed him up for a 3 hours songs request show because he wasn't in a good condition. But I just read his messages like couples of hours after he sent me the messages (through bbm, obviously) and about two hours before the show begun. Then when I texted him to confirm whether I still had to replace him or not –cause he didn't get any confirmation from me before due to my lack of attention for the things I called smarphones *rolling eyes. I was sure that he might get another person to momentarily replace him but I was so scared that when he didn't get my answer he would likely assume that it was a yes from me. silly I know. But I’m not really good in how to act or put myself in an enviroment so I just hurriedly prepared myself and came to the studio. Just in case you know. And I have to admit that I was overreact. My senior already asked another person. Ffiuhhh. 

It was getting tricky you know. My problem with phones. I mean smartphones. I dont know why but I’m just not really into smartphone, specially blackberry. I love how fast I could browsing or downloading or streaming with that phone but that's it. Maybe because I’m not really good in talking or chatting or something like that, that's why everything can turn very verryy awkward when it comes to ME. not relevan. Ah whatever, let's get to the movie I was talking about seconds ago.

Sooo.. I decided to just went straight to the campus and maybe took a visit to an internet cafe and do some searching for my assignment. But hell I didn't feel good enough to do it so I stop by in one of the well-known mall in my town. I thought I just had to spent some lazy time in the cinema before I go to the campus. The only movie that had the right timing for me to watch is The Howling : reborn. An adaptation of a book, but I don't remember the book’s tittle.

Well, I want to watched battleship, badly (for Taylor Kitsch). But it can wait. The Howlng Reborn would do to killed some times at that moment. Weird phrase. Lol.

The moment it started, I didn't understand where the movie would lead us to. There was a pregnant woman, a painter. She was walking while talking with her husband through the phone. She said about that ever since she’s pregnant she got the feeling that someone or something was watching and following her. That was Will’s mother. I’ll make this fast. She went to a studio painting a red circle and then something striked her then the building blown up. Will grew up into a nerdy one with glasses. He had a crush to a girl, a strong full of confidence and know what her wants kinda girl.

Eliana. Yes, She knows what she wants. :p

Will and the girl (Eliana) locked in the school building on their graduation night which unfortunately a night for the blue moon as well. A special condition where... I lost this part of scientific explanation of the blue moon. But it was a rare condition and it has a strong effect to the werewolf. The newly turned will transform wildly etc etc. Why were they stuck in the building anyway? The scary part about their school. The building attached with a high level security system where it would be locked after school hour. No one could get in unless on school hour and when you stuck you need to wait untill morning. 

Actually will’s mother bribed the security to messed up with the system, because the school should be open untill graduation. She was planning an evolution (or revolution?) oppose the human. She prepared an army –some newly turned human- in the basement that would react to the blue moon. So, the mother was the villain here. She tried to make Will became one of the pack. A pack of werewolves that had lost their humanity. They filled with the urge to kill human. You just have to kill one human and you’ll turn into a blood thirsty werewolf, not literally blood thristy, just love to have a kill fest. Or something like that. 

Then the truth started to revealed. Will’s a werewolf. And his mother still alive, she was after him and she was an alpha. Heck, she was the one who set Will stuck in the school. There were some details about the werewolf were umm a turned off. They took a very ugly hybrid form. Tall, dark, snout, scary teeth, and some hairs-long hairs- in their heads, arms and legs which very disturbing. I mean it would be less disturbing if only they didn't make the hairs on the head that LONG! As if they want to show us that those are really hairs! Like human hairs. Come on, wolf has fur, not hairs. Another theory is maybe THAT was really their intention. To really mixed it between a human and a wolf, so there was a werewolf. Am I to exagerate? *shrug. Okay and the werewolf walked in two legs. Ha! I like the wolf in twillight better to be honest. A real wolf with good looking fur just bigger and thicker than a real love. Even cuter, damn it! Really have it bad for cute stuff, dont I? :D

Sum it up, Will and Eliana fought Will’s mother and her fighters. And luckily somehow they could transmitted a live video to the whole area (didn't really get this one clear either) about that there were some werewolves in their school building. And will transformed into one. It was the scene in the opening of the movie. Will talked to a camera something like “hey I need you to be strong cause when the time come you’re the one who’s gonna have to kill me..”, something like that. He was talking to Eliana apparently. Sooo he changed Eliana into a werewolf accidentally (or not so accidentally? Cause Eliana was the one who asked to be changed? hmm) when they were making out on the floor with Eliana using a blood stained tank top. Disturbing. No further comment about this.

Will fought his mother, his mother would kill him, but then another werewolf –Elliana- grabbed Will’s mother heart from behind. Will tried to get Elliana changed into a human again. They blew up the building to kill the rest of the werewolves in the basement. Cause an ordinary werewolf die by fire or silver (Will’s mother an alpha she could resist fire and even swallow silver). They took another secret way out. Then the monologue. Will's monologue. what makes us human different from animal is only the 2% difference on our dna, and it’s everything.

I want to write more details about the movie but it would be a verryy lonng review. So here are my thoughts after watched it.

First the pictures or the scenes looked mixed. Well look I’m not an expert but, there were some scenes that looked like it was taken or cropped from another movie. made it looked like it was taken differently. Okay. I might be embarrasing myself with trying to explain this in english. But I think you maybe agree with me. when you watch a movie somehow the movie will have this colour theme. The colour theme which built from the mixture of the lighting, the whole frame of the setting –and the quality of the scenes taking too and etc. Some movies have dark strong colour theme like v for vendetta, insidious which mostly filled with black and deep red strong colours sharp pictures and the pictures that set in a very clear strong way. Some have the soft colour theme where the scenes were kinda blur like twilight the first twilight. Even all the twilight saga movies have different theme colour. The first twilight movie filled with soft green and blue while the twilight saga new moon has this stronger sharper pictures with stronger colours. Well I hope no one will puke for my poor description. I found some scenes have different colour theme. That's it.

Let's get back to the movie, shall we?

Second thing I noted was that the lead male character is CUTE. And I think the director AWARE for this so much that he/she put some angle where half of the screen filled with that boy’s handsome face. I could see his perfectly smooth flawless skin, a bit pale but damn so smooth like I could slip on it. Then that strong line of the eyes the straight nose and his soft blue eyes.. or were they soft green? And somehow he looked like Harry Potter. And that's not a good idea, he looked so much alike with Harry Potter, even his glasses, not as round as Harry's glasses but... Like a mix of Daniel Radclife and Zac Efron.. *daydreaming. Well but he’s better than Edward I can tell you. Lol. Well this could be a lil subjective cause Edward Cullen sometimes freaked me out with his unhuman pale skin. But the Edward on the first twilight is better than Edward from the other twilight saga movies for me. He looked so much like a corpse with that skin on his face that I always thought overly powdered. Don’t judge me. that's only an opinion. And I don't know that boy’s name, yet. I’ll find him right after I finish writing this. Oh snap! Landon Liboiron is his name! :p

Landon Liboiron. A Canadian, just like Taylor Kitsch. >,<

Overall the movie is not that bad. Actually, I like the main idea. Its about choosing between humanity and your beast side. Not a new idea on a movie I know. But I like this line that Will –the cute male lead character- said about what makes us human different from animal is only the 2% difference on our DNA. Have I ever said about the movie played in that type of the seeking about of the real you, about a main character that trying to understand him/herself ? Okay I’ve said that now. :D Kinda like twilight you know. With the movie started, filled and ended with the main character’s monologue. Firstly Will said that those 2% difference of the DNA is nothing. Then at the end of the movie after he chose his humanity better than his beast side that 2% is everything. And the fact that actually Will has killed someone-a character named Roland, Eliana’s boyfriend that forced him cause Will talked to Eliana *rolling eyes- convince us that we could really chose what kind of person we are. Though Will didn't realize that he was the one who killed Roland.

Last but not least there were flashes of a person's neck with a red circle mark. just like the red circle that Will's mother tried to painted before she was attacked. And at the end beside Will's mother's dead body, there was that mark too on the floor. Just like painted by someone with blood. I didn't get that till the movie end. It can be a secret community or something related with the werewolf. But there was no explanation about that on the movie. And I didn't know who was attacking Will's mother when she's pregnant with Will.

And last time I checked, the rating on IMDb was 3.9 from 10. Auch. :D

Me? I don't think I can give a proper rate, an objective one I mean. My brain has already infected by the cuteness of Will.. :D
