Movie Review: Real Steel

October 3rd, 2011

I walked into the theater with pretty low expectations. Especially after seeing the trailer for the movie which made me feel like it was going to be just another Transformers rip off. But after watching Real Steel, I can safely tell you that – this movie blows Transformers out of this world. Forget the Michael [...]

Movie Review: Johnny English Reborn

September 12th, 2011

Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) is back, and it’s a good thing. After catching the funny trailer many months ago, I had some pretty high expectations about the movie, and I wasn’t let down. As soon as the movie starts you’re in for a treat. What was missing in the original (which I felt was too [...]

Movie Review: Priest

May 9th, 2011

So I went into the cinema with low expectations mainly because I didn’t expect much after watching the trailer for Priest and I wasn’t impressed. And I was right. Priest tells the story about a priest (Paul Bettany) in a futuristic post-apocalyptic world that sets out on a journey to rescue his niece who was [...]

Movie Review: Fast & Furious 5/ Fast Five

May 1st, 2011

Entering the movie with low expectations was key to my enjoyment of the movie because I can tell you that by the end of it – I was blown away. When watching Fast & Furious 5/Fast Five somehow I just had the feeling like the director believed that this was going to be the last [...]

Movie Review: Thor

May 1st, 2011

Going into the cinema, I didn’t really know what to expect. I don’t read the Thor comics, so I can’t tell you how good the movie is compared to the comic but what I can tell you is – the movie just set the new standard for Marvel Comic adaptations. The bar was raised pretty [...]

Movie Review: Red Riding Hood

April 18th, 2011

“From the director of Twilight,” clearly states the movie’s poster. So I kinda knew what I was getting myself into when I stepped into the cinema. I had low expectations for the movie and was pleasantly surprised the movie didn’t suck. Red Riding Hood tells the story of Valerie (Amanda Seyfried), a girl that’s been [...]

Movie Review: The Roommate

April 18th, 2011

I saw the trailer for The Roommate before I entered the cinema and expected a typical college/thriller movie, and I was right. While the premise of The Roommate isn’t very common, the typical elements of a movie in the same genre are there, babes, frat parties, booze, murder, sex, and so on. Don’t expect anything [...]

Movie Review: Source Code

April 18th, 2011

I heard good things about Source Code before stepping into the cinema, including its 90+% score on Rotten Tomatoes during its opening week, so I was expecting good things from the movie. Boy I wasn’t let down. Jake Gyllenhaall stars as Colter Stevens, a soldier who is thrown into an experimental project, Source Code, which [...]

Movie Review: Hop

April 18th, 2011

Every major holiday you can expect movies to pop up to cash in on the festivities, and this Easter, we have the 3D animated/live action movie: Hop. I had no idea what to expect besides rabbits after looking at the standee, so I went into the cinema with no expectations at all. Hop is about [...]

Movie Review: Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (3D)

April 18th, 2011

When the movie was first announced and posters starting appearing on walls, I never thought I’d ever find myself sitting in a cinema watching a movie starring child superstar Justin Bieber. As the months passed, and I found myself actually enjoying some of his singles, I thought why not just give it a shot. And [...]
