    “Attack the Block (2011)” movie review.

    “Attack the Block” is a sci-fi/comedy/action/horror film from England that stunned everyone by actually being good. Professional and amateur reviewers alike joined together in their praise for the movie, some even calling it one of the 'best action movies ever made'. Naturally, the more hype the movie got, the more I licked my lips in anticipation. Then I saw the movie and was disappointed. “Attack the Block” is a pretty good movie and that might've been a problem. The first wave of viewers had no expectations for the film, so when it turned out to be pretty good, they overreacted and that lead to the movie being over-hyped. Still...pretty good though.

    “The Thing From Another World (1951)” movie review

    If a movie is remade, sometimes I acquire the original along with the remake and watch them both back-to-back. Just recently, I (re)watched the 1982 cult classic, "The Thing" and followed it up with the 2011 not cult classic, "The Thing" prequel. But what some people don't realize is that the 1982 film was actually a remake of "The Thing From Another World", which the prequel often paid tribute too. As a lover of the 1982 version (indifferent to the prequel), I decided to check this one out and is it good? Sure, but it's only vaguely a horror film.

    Dead Space was a fantastic game, and the first that in my opinion, managed to make you feel alone. However they left you wondering what exactly happened before you arrived. Prior to Dead Space: Extraction's release you had a choice - either read what was on the net, or pick up this film. Personally, I wasn't into the idea of fan made wikis especially that early in the game's life, so I went the route of getting the film.

    Captain America: The First Avenger, it’s not so great…

    I really wanted to like this film, instead it's just disappointing. So much potential wasted, and the sickening thing is they mock you with montages of the bits you wanted to see. Captain America vs. Nazis with weapons powered by an artefact belonging to Odin, oh and their leader has a red skull for a head - How could they possibly get that wrong?

    Iron Man, Iron Man… Does whatever an iron can?

    The Iron Man films didn't interest me initially, the same can be said for The Incredible Hulk which is still absent from my collection. However due to recent super hero movies catching my attention & them leading towards The Avengers it was time to gather the full set in preparation. Thankfully for my wallet both the Iron Man films are bargain bin fodder these days & the pair cost less than a single new release.
