Hostel 2

I swallowed my pride. I gave Eli Roth a second chance. I even took the initiative to embrace this genre of filming. And at the end of it all I came out of this film with an appreciation for the Hostel series. I am not a fan of this genre due to most of these types of films relying on shock value to entertain the viewer.
The “Saw” movies after the first were a letdown to me, as well as “Touristas” being as dry and unoriginal as a remake of “The Hitcher”. My major issues with the first in the “Hostel” series were that I had no feelings towards any of the characters, the plot line moved way to slow, and the scenery was just not up to par with Eli’s previous film “Cabin Fever”. With all that going wrong I almost wrote off the sequel altogether. Lucky for me I did not. Read more

Well it looks like my calls for a good thriller has been answered. I just finished watching “30 Days of Night” and I have to say that Hollywood has not lost its touch totally. This is also one of the few movies that actually held true to its hype which in today’s world is a very hard process to achieve.
Great setting, good cast of characters, and a well translated from graphic novel onto cinema writing. For those of you who don’t know, this movie is based on the graphic novel created by Steve Niles. Although the setting is different in the comic series, the story translates even better onto screen…. Read more

Finally, a romantic comedy that wasn’t wrote, directed and produced specifically for 13 year old girls. Dane Cook and Jessica (oh dear lord) Alba star in this unrealistic boob fest.
The plot revolves around a Charlie, a dentist who was cursed as a child to never find love. Each time he sleeps with a woman she becomes destined to find the man of her dreams and get married. This leads to lots of very interesting sexual encounters…. Read more
Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer

Mr Fantastic, The Invisable Woman, The Thing, The Human Torch,
That well known team, only sidelined by Mr T and the rest of the A-Team.
They have had their own film before. And boy was it average. Although this time, they are given the helping silver hand of the silver surfer. Marvel’s coolest character ever? Possibly.
As with my earlier review of Spiderman, it goes without saying that the special effects in this are breath-taking. I am positive any film from now on with a marvel name can expect this kind of treatment. So go get yourself a high def TV, a blu-ray player and a copy of this. Who cares if its worth the money, it will physically rattle your senses… Read more

John Dahl’s latest crime / comedy produced by the IFC is a big hit with us. What a fantastic lineup: Ben Kingsley, Téa Leoni, Luke Wilson, Dennis Farina… The list is endless. The producers really hit the nail on the head with this cast, absolutely tremendous.
The plot is simple, an alcoholic hit man (Kingsley) botches a job due to his alcoholism, Is sent to San Fran to clean up his act and get into a program. Even telling some co-workers about the premise of the movie cracked a laugh. Its a very whitey movie, sometimes a little slow but definitely worth a watch…. Read more
Spiderman 3

Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can, or does he?
With this week comes the release of that Hollywood favourite Spiderman 3! This year’s huge blockbuster that knocked everything for six this summer, but was all the hype worth it? (And should you invest in a black Spiderman costume for Halloween?)
Well one thing’s for sure, you can fling on your spidey jammy’s once more kiddies, Spidey is back and he doesn’t suck (he bites)
So how much better is this movie than the last? Considerably. Spiderman 2 was quite simply the original film with a different bad guy. An octopus instead of a goblin. Spiderman 3 however actually begins to introduce new storylines, yes you will still see him hanging off that US flag for hours on end (oh the patriot!) but this film really brings new directions to the movie franchise… Read more
