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.
Law Abiding Citizen is not what it seems. This movie is full of emotion but not as exciting as the clever story could have been.
Is the legal system in general screwed up, I guess we all know it is. This is a story of a man who has lost all he had to live for and ends up losing himself through the process.
We were not exactly sitting on the edge of our seats all the way through, but the story has got some good bits and may be worth the watch if you are a Jamie Fox or Gerard Butler fan.
It’s been quite some time since District 9 was released, and I’ve heard some funny things about it so I thought it was about time to find our for myself.
I brought District 9 home to watch and Amelia and I didn’t know what hit us. Now, I would not say it was movie of the year material, but it was crap funny. The production team managed to find so many ways to rip off other movies and others countries when producing this film it is simply incredible.
I would recommend that you watch with subtitles, just to make sure you don’t miss anything due to the pronunciation. The main character is brilliant and did a great job and keeping the tone of the movie serious and insanely funny at the same.
We’ll be watching this again some time, if you haven’t watched it yet you are missing out.
Amelia and I took to Prison Break from the first episode we saw and decided to take it out on DVD.
We were hooked and in a matter of a few months went through the first three seasons.
When we got to the end of season three we found out the season four was not yet available in South Africa, to our extreme disappointment but to the benefit of our work and studies we waited in eager anticipation for season four to hit the shelves of the video stores.
Last week, we where at Scooters Pizza, getting ready to fill up on some of the good stuff when we saw the Prison Break poster in the window of Mr Video and we went straight in and to our excitement, season four was in and the first disc was ready for us to take out.
We finished our Pizza and went home to get into the next season. Within a matter of a week we went through the entire season as well as the bonus disc.
This season, the “last season” introduced us to some exciting new ideas and gadgets. The good and the bad, teamed up for some seriously suspenseful scenes. The pace of this season was really fast and things happened a bit too easy for my liking.
The end of the season is a total disappointment and I couldn’t believe it was the end.
I watch the last episode more than once, to make sure I understood it right and then watched the bonus features to see if there was something that we had missed.
The season really did not finish off in the same Prison Break style that we had got accustomed too, and I seriously hope that they can catch a hint from the Prison Break followers and bring us a season 5 even if only to end off with a bit more style.
If anyone is looking to buy us a present, we’d be happy to get a box set with season 1 through 4, we won’t be watching them too soon as the ending is still fresh in our minds, but would dig to be able to watch this series from the beginning again.
I’m not always one for movies set in the past, but Valkyrie caught my attention the moment I saw the trailer and I can always do with some cloak and dagger.
Having seen a few movies based on World War II and being somewhat familiar with some of the history surrounding the demise of Adolf Hitler, I started watching the movie with a certain sense of expectation that Valkyrie would not end the way we all wanted it too.
Valkyrie tells the exciting story of a group of brave German people, fighting for what was right and for the sake of Germany, aswell their willingness to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.
If their plan went the way it was supposed to, or if they simply used more explosives, the actions of these people would have changed the face of history as we know it, and many lives would have been saved.
Although Valkyrie does not end the way we would like it too, it is a good movie and has some really intense scenes, some funny ones and is most probably worth watching twice.
