Pelham 123

The third time, recreation of the film, based on the novel by Morton Freedgood writing as “John Godey”, Pelham 123 has got some excitement, but is also quite predictable at times.

If I wasn’t using my notebook as a DVD player, I would have liked to do some work and follow up on some mails, while watching this one.

Pelham 123, does not demand all of your attention and would probably be good for a social evening with friends, as you could comfortably follow the movie as well as participate in a conversation.

It is not one of those keep you on the edge of your seat type films, but all things considered it is not that bad.

Duplicity

Duplicity, was most definitely misleading and not exactly what we expected, but was not a total disaster either. Duplicity, is funny and actually border lining hilarious at times.

What we thought, would offer us a little cloak and dagger, turned out to be a laugh and a half.

If there is anything that the film accurately presents, it is that people you try to screw will most often end up screwing you.

2012

Amelia and I decided to do a big day in at the office. We spent most of the morning and afternoon working and then decided to go out and get some pizza and a movie.

We decided to watch 2012 and were not disappointed. The movie has got some awesome effects, and an interesting yet sometimes troubling story line.

2012 has got some sad moments and makes one wonder what could be going on behind the scenes, is there something we’re missing or don’t know about.

This was probably a great big screen movie, but is just as good to watch at home, or at the office for that matter.

Gamer

Gamer shows what the world can become when run by a bunch of sick and twisted individuals and on the other hand, Gamer draws a contrast to what is going on in the world and how governments play games with real lives, with a cavalier regard to human life.

On the funny side, Gamer exposes the lameness among us and how some of us really would prefer to be characters in a game instead of making our own decisions.

Gamer is very graphic and not for the faint hearted. This movie will bring out your inner gadget freak and you’ll get excited about the technology.

If you can handle a bit of gore or your into first person shooters, watch gamer next time you’re looking for a movie on a rainy day.

XIII Conspiracy

At long last a long movie, that is not totally boring. XIII takes the typical overthrow the government story and adds a little flair to it.

It was not as high paced or exciting as it could be, but it was good enough to keep me engaged through out it’s more than 2 hour duration.

If you’re into covert/conspiracy type movies, give this one a try.
