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: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: A film about a man who ages backwards. Very odd concept, but, I thought it was great. Not quite sure what the clockmaker had to do with anything though! I give it 8/10
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: A Knight’s Tale (2001)
A Knight’s Tale: A silly, but fun film about a peasant who becomes a knight. It’s comedy mostly, with an attempt to be a bit of a drama/romance. I give it 7/10
Film: Brokeback Mountain (2005)
Brokeback Mountain: A film about the love between two cowboys. This film was good, but I didn’t think the film really explained the attraction, and how it started. It seemed that one minute they were just friends, and the next, they were in love/lust. I did enjoy the film, however, other than that part. I […]
Film: Blades of Glory (2007)
Blades of Glory: What complete silliness, but good fun. Two olympic ice skating champions who do not get on, end up being a pairs team because that’s the only way they can get back in to the game after being banned. Silly comedy, my kind of fun. I give it 7/10
Film: 50 First Dates (2004)
50 First Dates: I assumed this would be a super silly film, with Adam Sandler being in it. It was admittedly very cheesy and silly in parts, but nowhere near as bad as I thought. An enjoyable romantic comedy. I give it 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343660/50 Fi
Film: The Accidental Husband (2008)
The Accidental Husband: I wasn’t expecting much out of this film. Perhaps that’s why I was pleasantly surprised. There wasn’t really much to the story, but the movie didn’t take itself too seriously at all, which made it all the better. The ending, however, was super duper cheesy. The story is about a radio chat […]
Film: Good Luck Chuck (2007)
Good Luck Chuck: Very silly, relatively formulaic romantic comedy. Girls think that a guy has a lucky charm, and that if they are with him, then the next person they meet, they’ll fall in love with, and marry. This guy is a fairly normal guy, works as a dentist, and has a friend who is […]
Film: Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
Slumdog Millionaire: Well, this film got a lot of fanfare when it was released. I’m not 100% sure why, after watching it. It’s good, sure, but, that good? The film follows the life of the main character ‘Jamal’, his brother, and the love interest – from childhood, into adulthood. Along the way, there is lots […]
