So, this week, I caught both Protector and Covenant. First off, Covenant.
This is a movie about a but of private school kids who have powers (Warlocks, basically). The more they use their powers, the more it drains their bodies. A member of the 5th house, thought to be completely destroied, comes back to gain their power and seek revenge for his family (He's the bad guy). The movie starts out pretty good, but turns sour about half way through. The story becomes real weak and way too predictable. The soundtrack was awesome though. I have mixed feeling about this movie. I guess this one you will have to see to make your own decision.
Now for the Protector.
This is a movie about a man who learns Muay-Thai to protect the elephants that his people have raised to service the kings in wars. When his father is killed and their elephants stolen, he travels to Austrailia to get them back. Sound weak? It kinda was. There is a lot of subtitles throughout this film. Not all bad though. The fight scenes were amazing. Very Jackie Chan-ish, who btw, has a cameo. Bones are breaking left and right throughout this film. For anyone who has followed the Tekken videodames, you will definitely see the characters toward the end. I liked this movie, but only so much. The quality of the picture was weak. The acting not much better, but the action sceens help to balance it out.
So for the ratings on these 2 movies, I will give Protector a thumbs up for action but a thumbs down for overall good movie.
For Covenant, Thumbs up for soundtrack and idea, but thumbs down for acting.

Yeah the Covenant looks to witch like of a movie I guess thats why
they called the Covenant.I do not even think I will watch this when it
comes out on HBO or Showtime unless there is absolutey nothing on
, nobody on xbox and the Spice Channel is down.
I can't wait to see the Protector , the comercials of the fight scenes
look so cool . The effects look pretty amazing too. Do not care for
story line just want action.

I'll have to watch the Covenant just because I am addicted to shows like this one. I already decided, from the previews, to wait for it to come out on Pay-Per-View before watching it.
