The Rocker

1.5/5 I had heard mixed things about this, so I went in with average expectations. It wasn’t really a rip off of School Of Rock, story was different but they both had the kicked out of the band loser character. Although in the case of School Of Rock, Dewey (Jack Black) was a fun and … Continue reading

Valkyrie

Valkyrie Review Current mood: accomplished Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities 4/5 So I went into this with average expectations, and without much knowledge at all about the true events. I just knew it was about a plot to assassinate Hilter which obviously failed (Since Hitler committed suicide). This film has bad some bad press (due mostly … Continue reading

Twilight

2.5/5 Before you continue, there are possible spoilers, you have been warned. Hmm what can I say about Twilight? I thought it was really over-rated, I expected a bit more with the way people have been raving about it. I thought the acting wasn’t very good for the most part, Robert Pattinson was the worst … Continue reading

The Wrestler

5/5 I have been waiting to see this since I first heard about it, being a Darren Aronofsky fan and of course a wrestling fan. The more bits and pieces I heard about the film, the more excited I was to check it out. Not much was really given away, it took what felt like … Continue reading

Slumdog Millionaire

5/5 Okay so it has taken me like a week and a half to actually gather my thoughts for this film. Firstly I have to say I completely fell in love with this film by the end credits. I thought it was just amazing, the story, the acting, the cinematography, the direction, it was all … Continue reading

Jaws

4.5/5 I decided to rewatch this classic after reading the novel which was recommended to me. I have to say the novel was quite a surprise and much different then I had expected. Certain things remained the same with the book and film and certain things were changed. I can understand the changes that were … Continue reading

Transsiberian

3.5/5 I really did not know much at all going into this, I had seen the trailer a while back, but couldn’t really remember much, just that it had Woody Harrelson and Emily Mortimer and it took place on a train. Here is yet another film I think benefited from not knowing much about it. … Continue reading

[Mini Review] Body Of Lies (2008)

[Mini Review] Body Of Lies (2008)

I got to say going in this not really knowing about it, kind of made it all the more interesting. Watching everything unravel at the start was great. It just takes you right in there and leaves you there. Ridley Scott is perfect for this type of film, and he has such a great cast. … Continue reading

Eagle Eye

0.5/5 This film is terrible, plain and simple. It starts off promising enough, but as soon as things start to happen it just gets worse and worse and more ridiculous. It is so unbelievable on all levels, it expects its audience to be extremely stupid. I found most of the action to be pretty terrible … Continue reading

Son Of Rambow/FunnyGames/Stuck

4.5/5 What a simply fantastic film! I loved this so much, it is easily going on my favourite films list! The story is a good one, you have one boy who wants to make a film, he is a bit of a delinquent, you have another boy who is shy and his religion doesn’t allowed … Continue reading

[Mini Review] The Babysitters (2007)

[Mini Review] The Babysitters (2007)

I’d seen the trailer and it had me quite interested, I always fall for the films about teenagers acting badly. Basically its about a girl in High School who turns her babysitting service into a prostitution service so she can make money for college. Of course it gets more complicated then that, but you have … Continue reading

The Ruins

3/5 Where to start with this? I’d heard this was really good, heard mostly positive things about it. I can see where that comes from, but personally I was pretty disappointed. I’ve never actually read the book, and I didn’t really know what it was about. It has the kind of vibe Cabin Fever has, … Continue reading

Wanted

3/5 I really thought I would like this a lot more then I actually did. I still want to re-watch it and see if my opinion changes. I just didn’t think it was as good as people made it out to be. The action is great to watch, it is way over the top and … Continue reading
