The Hurt Locker

Motherless!

Hurt Locker is one insane movie. It starts off with some action and it has some really heart wrenching scenes too.

This movie get’s you thinking and makes you wonder how many people are used in terror attacks against their wills.

If you are not into gore or if you are sensitive in anyway, then don’t watch this. If you’re a war movie type of person and can handle movies like 5 Fingers then this is for 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.

Prison Break

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.

Valkyrie

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.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

After watching the first one, Amelia and I couldn’t wait for our chance to catch this one on the big screen.

What an exciting and fun to watch movie, I’m almost speechless.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, kept us holding on to our seats from the moment it started with action packed scenes and some really funny ones.

With the original cast and some good planning, this movie seamlessly takes off from where the first one left us.

The story line is good and engaging, and toys with history, a little like the way Da Vinci Code does but not in such a theological sense.

The visual and effects team have done an amazing job with this film, the imaging is simply incredible and believable.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is most definitely worth watching twice, I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD.
