Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

admin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:05:04 +0000

An overly long missed opportunity that could have done a much better job at telling us a story and instead opted to skirt around all the stuff that made the book dark and thrilling.

Duplicity

Excellent chemistry between Owen and Roberts, combined with an interesting story, careful use of flashbacks, and some excellent supporting performances (Paul Giamatti is awesome) made this an enjoyable film (if maybe a little long) despite the critical backlash.

Cage delivers a good performance in this initially entertaining sci-fi suspense and the supporting cast is equally good, however the bizarre twist near the end leaves you wondering why you watched it in the first place.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Transformers delivers an engaging movie experience with thrills, spills and robot explosions, no more than you would expect but it hits the spot if that’s what you wanted.

Terminator Salvation

Salvation manages to pull the franchise out of the gutter with a good-enough performance supported mostly by the action and special effects.

Star Trek

A fast paced, well executed action sci-fi flick, with emphasis on the -fi and the characters, this franchise reboot gets it right in so many ways.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

tony — Sat, 02 May 2009 17:10:01 +0000

A lackluster movie which suffered for having had most of the story told previously and also failed to deliver any real tension.
