(Blogathon) Dogtooth

As part of the Blogathon which was organised with fellow bloggers over at the JoBlo forums, we each chose a film for another blogger to watch and review. I was given the task of watching and reviewing the Greek film Dogtooth. Rating: I don’t feel I can give this film a rating out of 5. … Continue reading

The Karate Kid 2010 aka Kung Fu Kid

3/5 Okay first off, this really should be called The Kung Fu Kid, considering Karate is not featured at all and they do Kung Fu in this film. The only reason it kept the Karate Kid title was for marketing, apparently people are stupid and wouldn’t notice there is no Karate in the film. That … Continue reading

Predators

4/5 Here it is folks, a proper sequel to Predator and Predator 2, one which ignores the two AvP films (thank goodness). Predators is exactly what I wanted with a sequel, it was in my opinion a bad ass film, which is something that was sorely missing from AvP. Predators is much like the original, … Continue reading

Kick-Ass

4.5/5 A film that actually lives up to its title, this film actually does Kickass! Kickass is based on a comic of course, but this is quite a different type of Superhero film (and comic I assume). There aren’t any superpowers here, just a regular guy who wants to make a difference. Our main character … Continue reading

Get Him To The Greek

2.5/5 Get Him To The Greek is a spin-off film for the Aldus Snow character from Forgetting Sarah Marshall played by British comedian Russell Brand. Now I liked Forgetting Sarah Marshall, it was a fun and silly film with some great performances from Jason Segal, Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell. I thought Russell Brand was … Continue reading

Undisputed 3

4/5 Undisputed 3 picks up some time after Undisputed 2, we find Boyka (Scott Adkins) is recovering from the knee injury suffered at the hands of Chambers. He isn’t the man he once was, he is almost unrecognisable, from his attitude to the way he looks. He’s become a toilet cleaner, and it is pretty … Continue reading

Undisputed II

4/5 What are the ingredients to make a film that Marcey will go crazy over? Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White and amazing martial arts, that’s what! I felt like Undisputed II was made just for me, and it has become of one of favourite films! This is a sequel to Undisputed which starred Wesley Snipes … Continue reading

Looking Back At Superman Returns

Superman Returns is on TV right now, and it is very much a love it or hate film. As a huge Superman fan, I remember how excited I was for this film. The anticipation I felt was just unreal, I probably hadn’t been that excited since Star Wars Ep 1. I think I drove everyone … Continue reading

Ninja

4/5 Ninja, the film which really introduced me to Scott Adkins. Now I don’t want this review to be completely biased towards Scott Adkins, which is probably why it has taken me this long to actually review it. Ninja is a throw back to those classic 80’s martial arts films, it has the outsider, Casey … Continue reading

The Runaways

4/5 The Runaways has been marketed as the Joan Jett bio-pic, however that is slightly in-correct. The Runaways is really Cherrie Currie’s story, and she is more the focus than Joan. This was based on Cherrie’s book and it covers The Runaways with her time with them, from the start until her fall and her … Continue reading

[Mini Review] Black Dynamite (2009)

[Mini Review] Black Dynamite (2009)

How can I describe Black Dynamite? I don’t even think I want to, as I think this is a film that you best go into and just watch. I mean all you really need to know is that is stars the awesome martial arts star Michael Jai White, it is a throw back to the … Continue reading

Ninja Assassin

3.5/5 I think the title says it all, in regards to what this is about. It is about a ninja assassin, that really is all you need to know. Ninja films aren’t known for their fantastic plots, they have the good guys, the bad guys and ninja’s doing their thing. But if you must know … Continue reading

Pandorum

2.5/5 Pandorum is a film which borrows heavily from other sci-fi films, chances are you have seen this film before and then some. In a nicely done opening we find ourselves on a ship in the future, it appears to be empty. Our main character Bower (Ben Foster) is awakened from suspended animation, and has … Continue reading
