Serenity: A film made after the TV series Firefly went kaput – a series that I have not yet seen, but heard good things about. Anyway, this film was a little confusing for me at times – probably because I haven’t seen the series, but still quite enjoyable. The characters were very easy to like […]

Film: Into the Blue (2005)
Into the Blue: A pretty general Hollywood film. About a bunch of poor divers who come across a potentially wealthy wreck, but also find a plane that’s recently crashed with a massive load of drugs that’s mostly intact. There’s no real story to speak of. I give it 3/10.
Film: The Hurt Locker (2008)
The Hurt Locker: I can see why this film has had such good reviews and so many awards. It’s just a very well made film. It seemed to me to have a kind of documentary style about it. I also liked the dynamic of the main characters, the fear and the fearlessness too. I don’t […]
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: 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 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: Lakeview Terrace (2008)
Lakeview Terrace: A really weird film. Basically a single dad cop, who has custody of his children most of the time (or so it appears) has some new neighbours move in next door. However, they are mixed race, and that bothers this cop. He ends up turning their life into hell, blah blah. It was […]
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 […]
