Movie Review : ''Drive'' [2011] ♣♣♣♣
“I give you a five minute window, anything happens in that five minutes and I’m yours no matter what. Outside of that, you’re on your own. I don’t sit in while you’re running it down, I don’t carry a gun. I drive.”
Cannes Film Festival in France this year was captivated by this beautiful and violent tale of Driver (yes, that is his name) who is a stunts...

I'm BACK! Movie reviewing with a vengeance....
So life has unfortunately been a bit hectic and crisis filled but things are looking up and my love of movies will result in a LOT of movie reviews as I play catch up! Despite the crazy, I still watched movies!
I figured there was no better time to start than with a private screening of Drive with Ryan Gosling starring as a driver-for-hire and stuntsman who discovers a contract has been put out...

Every day in 2011...
So looking back on my blog I realised I don’t blog that often and that many movies I watched this year – I never posted a review for. Therefore, I’ve decided I am going to blog more. Rather than just thinking about doing it, I’m starting right now. I will be posting on this blog once a day for all of 2011 (and playing catch up for 2010).
I know it won’t be easy, but it might be fun,...

We were subject to an embargo (which was quite cool) and the films we were going to be shown were not revealed to us until the actual day.We were shown some trailers for movies out in 2011 (most of which I had seen and I...

Movie Review : ''The Karate Kid'' [2010] ♣♣♣½
In what seems to be a weekend of 80s remakes - The Karate Kid was revived for a new generation. If you’ve seen the original you were probably in uproar like me about this remake. How could Jackie Chan replace Pat Morita? Jaden Smith is too young for this role? Why even remake it?
So was it as bad as some people said it would be? Did the remake do enough to rise above the below-par...

What I only discovered today however is that the killer (who was charged yesterday) was actually a student at my...

Movie Review : ''Clash of the Titans'' [2010] ♣♣
In an age where Hollywood has gone remake and Greek mythology crazy - is it any wonder that the original 1981 Clash of the Titans was given an upgrage? Louis Leterrier (Transporter 2, The Incredible Hulk) definitely achieved that in this remake.
A war is imminent in the city of Argos. Man no longer tolerates the whims of the gods and begin to defy and desecrate their temples and images. This...
