Ze movie - The Covenant
~*Ze movie - The Covenant*~
I've recently watched The Covenant at GSC. My 1st impression was "woah...these Ipswich boys are yummilicious!!" *drool drool drool* The story goes like this....
In 1692, in the Ipswich Colony of Massachusetts, five families with untold power formed a covenant of silence. One family, lusting for more, was banished; their bloodline disappearing without a trace--until now. This thriller tells the story of the Sons of Ipswich, four young students at the elite Spencer Academy who are bound by their sacred ancestry. As descendants of the original families who settled in Ipswich Colony in the 1600's, the boys have all been born with special powers. When the body of a dead student is discovered after a party, secrets begin to unravel which threaten to break the covenant of silence that has protected their families for hundreds of years.
Goodness me, Steven Strait is GORGEOUS!
In this movie, he's Caleb Danver - the captain of the Spenser Academy's winning swim team as well as leader of the "Sons of Ipswich". Caleb is a star-student and two-time state freestyle champion, also one of the nicest guys in the group. However, he bears a heavy burden as the legacy of the Danvers family weighs heavily on him. He has seen the dark side of his burgeoning abilities up close (a secret he is reluctant for others to see) and their effects are terrifying. Now, as his 18th birthday approaches, he will soon "ascend" and his access to power beyond imagination will be more seductive than ever.
2nd beefcake: Chase Collins (Sebastian Stan) - The Bad Guy
Chase is the new guy in town, who quickly ingratiates himself into the group. He is actually the fifth descendent of the Sons of Ipswich and is back to threaten the group for everything that they have. Chase is addicted to supernatural powers and the only way he could obtain more is by forcing the other four boys to will their powers to him.
3rd beefcake: Pogue Perry (Taylor Kitsch)
Pogue is rude, rowdy and ready for anything. He's also the life and soul of any party. The only son of one of Ipswich's most prominent families, much is expected of him at Spenser. Though he's not a good student academically, he makes it up in other ways - being a loyal and uncompromising buddy no matter what happens.
4th beefcake: Reid Garwin (Toby Hemingway)
I think this picture didnt do him any justice at all. He looked way cooler in the movie. I like Reid's character, very devious + mischievous - sorta like the wild card in the group. Reid is a brazen lad who's out looking to stir trouble. So hot-headed, he just love pushing others' buttons, and if his antics lead to a fight, all the better. Unlike the rest of the group, Reid enjoys using his powers, and this makes Caleb worry as he knows how addictive that can be.
Final beefcake: Tyler Sims (Chace Crawford)
Tyler is the quietest in the group. A peacemaker who is uncomfortable with tension, he will go to any length to preserve the sanctity of the group.My say on The Covenant?
The movie was really not that scary nor horrifying to the least. It sorta reminds me of high school romance with a bit of magic or witch crafts involved. At one point, one of the boys (Reid) was trying to perform a magical task and he said, "Harry Porter, kiss my ASS!!" Now, dat was the funny. LOL
