Never Back Down: A kinda stupid film trying to be a modern Karate Kid and failing badly. I give it 1/10.

Film: Sherlock Holmes (2009)
Sherlock Holmes: A kind of odd re-imagining of Sherlock Holmes by Guy Ritchie – where he is a drunk, and a martial arts expert, along with Dr. Watson. The story did keep things a little intriguing, but it wasn’t that good – it was just a bit of a fun blockbuster. However, Moriarty made a […]
Film: Resident Evil – Extinction (2007)
Resident Evil – Extinction: The Resident Evil set of films really aren’t meant to be taken seriously, so this was just a bit of fun. Zombies, violence, evil corporations, the almost death of humanity. This one has a return of a couple of characters from the second film in the series – Oded Fehr, L.J., […]
Film: The Kingdom (2007)
The Kingdom: This film could’ve been good, if it wasn’t just so very American friendly and hadn’t made the Arabs look so incredibly inept. As it is, it just seemed like a movie that showed only US FBI agents knew how to investigate a bomb, and the Arabs were bumbling fools, and evil. Other than […]
Film: Pitch Black (2000)
Pitch Black: A kind of futuristic action/horror film. The film starts with a cargo space ship on auto pilot with the crew in stasis that hits some difficulties and wakes up the crew early. The ship crash lands on an alien planet which seems to have no night. Riddick is a criminal of some sort, […]
Film: Felon (2008)
Felon: A film about a guy who is in a maximum security prison after killing an intruder in his home. It seemed quite slow at first, but was very well done, I think. I give it 8/10
Film: Zombieland (2009)
Zombieland: A good action comedy film. I especially loved the rules that the main character used to stay alive, and the video game like action. Extremely gruesome in parts too. I give it 8/10
Film: Eagle Eye (2008)
Eagle Eye: A pretty silly action/thriller flick. The US uses an all powerful computer to do intelligence stuff, it can hook into phones, cctv, etc. It amuses me how computers look so fancy in films – but, then, if they looked boring, the film would probably end up being boring too. Stuff blows up, people […]
Film: Wyatt Earp (1994)
Wyatt Earp: An epic saga about a real life ‘wild west hero’, Wyatt Earp. An interesting story, kept me interested most of the way through, and it was a very long film. However, I didn’t completely follow what was happening in Tombstone. I give it 7/10
Film: Starsky and Hutch (2004)
Starsky and Hutch: A very silly comedy based on the Starsky and Hutch characters – I don’t remember watching the series as a kid, so am not sure if the original was as silly as the film remake. I give it 6/10
