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: Paranormal Activity (2007)
Paranormal Activity: A documentary style horror film. I thought bits of this were really well done, but the characters were far too annoying and stupid. Like most horrors, I suppose. It did however, kind of weird me out a bit, but not enough to class it as a great horror. I give it 3/10
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 Wrestler (2008)
The Wrestler: This was a mostly depressing film about the life of a wrestler who was a pretty famous character, but is now way past his prime, and leads a very lonely life. It’s quite a tough film to watch – from the violence in the wrestling itself, to the life he has outside of […]
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: Mongol (2007)
Mongol: This film is about the rise to power of Genghis Khan. I know very little of the history of Genghis Khan, except that he was meant to be a ruthless leader who took over a large part of the world. The film starts with Temudjin/Temujin as a child and his not particularly peaceful childhood. […]
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: Man on Wire (2008)
Man on Wire: This was a spectacular documentary on Philippe Petit’s tightrope walk between the two World Trade Centre buildings. It’s well worth watching, as well as the interview with Philippe if you have it on the DVD or Blu-ray. I give it 9/10
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
