My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006) – Review

26 02 2009

Plot : When a regular guy dumps a superhero of her neediness, she uses her powers to make his life a living hell.

Review : For me this film started off good, but when it got to half way it took a massive down turn and got too silly. I did laugh at parts, but not as much as I thought I might have. I heard a lot of mixed reviews about this film, so thats why i decided to give this a shot.

Overall the first half is very good and strong, then it just gets cheap.

Vanilla Sky (2001) – Review

26 02 2009

Plot : A successful publisher finds his life taking a turn for the surreal after a car accident with a jaded lover.

Review : For me i found this a very strange film, I didn’t enjoy it though I didnt not enjoy it. Parts were very good, but overall it was very strange.

The good things I liked were the acting, the cinematography and the makeup..which looked very real.

Overall not a great film, and didnt enjoy it as much as I thought I would.

Desu nôto (Death Note (2006))

23 02 2009

Plot : A battle between the world’s 2 greatest minds begins when Light Yagami finds the Death Note, a notebook with the power to kill, and decides to rid the world of criminals.

Review : I had heard of this movie, and new it was originally a Manga but never really gave it a shot as am not into Manga. Recently i have decided to give a few things that I don’t normally want to try, a shot and see if I like them and this was one of them.

I really enjoyed this movie, which was a surprise. The storyline was very smart, and the acting was very good. I know I lost some of the followers humor, since I didnt read the Manga but as i said i really enjoyed this.

Overall a really good movie, and one i would consider purchasing….oh and I will def be watching the sequel.

Dollhouse: The Target # 2 (2009) – Review

23 02 2009

Plot : A man is hired to hunt Echo down, so he hires her as a date.

Review :  After reading lots of bad reviews for episode 1 (which I liked), I continued and watched Episode 2. This episode for me was a lot better, you started to get more back story and also learn that Echo is remembering more of her past.

I really enjoyed all the little details that was in this episode, and how the action was a lot better than the first episode. I will definitely be continuing to watch the rest of the show, as I am very interested to see where this goes and how Echo will react when she remembers.

Thirteen (2003) – Review

20 02 2009

Plot : A thirteen-year-old girl’s relationship with her mother is put to the test as she discovers drugs, sex, and petty crime in the company of her cool but troubled best friend.

Review : When I was in uni, a friend told me about this movie and that it was one that I should watch. I noticed it was on TV, so I decided to tape it and give it a shot.

This was a very well acted film, and very visually powerful. Its not a film that you could say you enjoyed watching, its more it was very well done. The two main girls, were amazing and played their part very well.

This is a very moving and powerful film, its one that you could only watch once. Overall it was very well done, and the young girls acting was amazing.

Atomic Robo #1 – Review

19 02 2009

Plot : The main plot is about Atomic Robo’s dealings with a Nazi scientist named Helsingard.

Review : Another comic I have never heard of before, but #1 was a free download so I decided to grab it. This was actually very funny, I laughed at Atomic Robo’s sense of humor. The plot was basic but due to the humor, i actually enjoyed it.

I will be getting #2 soon

Neozoic #1 – Review

17 02 2009

Plot : In a gritty sci-fi fantasy world where dinosaurs did not become extinct, humanity lives under the constant threat of giant predators. Protégé hunter Lilli Murko faces off against a deadly carnivore while her Donti Squad discovers a strange new reptilian threat to their city.

Review : This comic tells the story of what if the meteor that killed the dinosaurs, didn’t hit the earth but was knocked off course…how would like be now? would we be the dominant species and what would it be like to be living with dino’s.

I am not a comic book fan, and I haven’t really looked at one for a long time. I heard that iTunes was starting to sell digital comics, and some of the titles were free to download. I thought I would give a few a shot, to see mostly what they were like and to see if I liked them or not.

This was the second title I downloaded, as the first was a Farscape Preview…but this was the first full title I looked at.

Its and interesting idea, bring them to a digital format and the page turning is nice with the iPod/Phone touch screen.

Neozoic for me was interesting, its plot was a very interesting one as Dinosaurs roamed the planet with the other enhabitants. Parts of it was interesting and parts were a little dull, the ending left you on a cliff hanger and I was interested to see what happened.

Overall it was ok, I dont know if it was just OK due to the fact am not a big comic fan. For £0.59 to purchase these am not to bothered if its crap or not as you dont really mind risking it at that price.

I will be reading a few other free one’s first, before I decide to get the next part.

The Doll House – Episode One : Review

17 02 2009

Plot : The Dollhouse is a new science fiction series starring Eliza Dushku. The show is about a dollhouse that is very secret, and very illegal, place where wishes come true. Clients with the right connections and enough money can hire “Actives”, people who have been programmed to perfectly fulfill the needs, and desires of their clients. The Actives are people who have chosen, for their own reasons,to surrender their bodies and minds for a five-year stay in the Dollhouse. Now they can be imprinted with any personality, skill, or even muscle memory. They can be the perfect companion, lover, spy, assassin and when the job is done they forget everything. But something is wrong with the Active called “Echo”. No longer just a blank slate waiting for her next assignment, Echo (Eliza Dushku) is remembering flashes of the lives that she has lived and the games she has played, and she is starting to wonder just who she really is.

Episode One : Ghost

Review : I am a big Joss fan, I loved Buffy and Firefly so I was really looking forward to this also its got Eliza who is HOT. This is a very interesting episode, as you learn she has a past and she did something wrong but you don’t know what exactly. She is also sent out on a mission and starts to get flashes or her original memories.

It had parts that were very interesting but others were just “I’ve seen this before”….I hope they start to give more background info on the Dolls House and her story or it will just be a very very repetitive series.

Overall I did enjoy it, but not as much as I was hoping to. I will definitely watch the whole series to see if it gets better, and to see if i get hooked or not. I think this could be one series that will either pick up and be really good, or stay the same and be just ok.
