Movies (2012)
 |
Skyfall | ||||||
What did you expect, an exploding pen? Better than Quantum of Solace albeit an extremely weak opening sequence. Overlong at times and quite light on action. |
|||||||
 |
Taken 2 | ||||||
Listen to me carefully, Kim. Your mother; is going to be taken. And people are gonna come for you too. Not as good as the original, but still quite entertaining. |
|||||||
 |
Dredd 3D (RPX) | ||||||
Ma-Ma is not the law… I am the law. Dreadful. Slow. Humorless. The slow-motion 3D was cool at first, but got old real quick. It did not help that most of the good action scenes were shown in the trailers. |
|||||||
 |
Resident Evil: Retribution 3D (IMAX) | ||||||
Congratulations, you're officially a badass. 3D sequences were not as good as the previous installment, but overall, a better movie. Plenty of action and gore, as expected. |
|||||||
 |
The Expendables 2 | ||||||
I now pronounce you man and knife. Awesomely funny one-liners galore. |
|||||||
 |
The Bourne Legacy | ||||||
Do you want to live? Cause I wanna live. Took forever to get setup, but once it got going, it wasn't half bad. Though I didn't like it nearly as much as the first three. |
|||||||
 |
Total Recall | ||||||
If I'm not me, then who the hell am I? You can't really compare this movie to the original. Same short story, very different kind of movies. Lots of well-paced action. I enjoyed the ride. |
|||||||
 |
Battleship | ||||||
Mahalo, motherf… [BOOM!] I was bracing for the worst… and left pleasantly surprised. |
|||||||
 |
Snow White and the Huntsman | ||||||
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is fairest of them all? Fun, but long. |
|||||||
 |
The Avengers 3D (IMAX) | ||||||
Superheroes? In New York? Give me a break! Awesome! |
|||||||
 |
Wrath of the Titans | ||||||
You are sweating like a human. Next it will be tears. All over the place, yet somewhat entertaining. |
|||||||
 |
The Hunger Games | ||||||
May the odds be ever in your favor. Blah. Overlong. |
|||||||
 |
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance | ||||||
I have some personal issues I kinda like to get fixed. Awesome opening sequence, and it goes down the crapper from there. |
|||||||
 |
Safe House | ||||||
Don't worry, I'll take it from here. Did not disappoint. It just drags you along whether you like it or not. The kickass action scenes totally make up for the thin, formulaic plot. |
|||||||
 |
Man on a Ledge (CC) | ||||||
Make it rain. I was expecting a dud, but ended up really liking it. |
|||||||
 |
The Grey (RPX) | ||||||
Once more into the fray… Into the last good fight I'll ever know… Live or die on this day… Live or die on this day… Build a fire… Someone gets killed… Build a fire… Someone gets killed… Build a fire… Bleh. |
|||||||
 |
Haywire | ||||||
You shouldn't think of her as being a woman. That would be your first mistake. Credible fight scenes but way too predictable and boring of a plot. |
|||||||
 |
Underworld: Awakening 3D (RPX) | ||||||
You don't know me very well. Selene is back, and kicking arse. Thin plot (good) and non-stop action (great). |
|||||||
 |
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (IMAX) | ||||||
Mission accomplished! It wasn't over the top like the previous sequels, yet the action pace was well sustained. |
