Posted in action, sci-fi with tags 2007, action, drama, movies, sci-f, thriller on 28 June, 2009 by Z!Will Smith starring as the sole survivor in NYC after a virus turns most of humanity into monsters that can only stay alive in darkness. Some good ideas in there but comes w/ a really weak ending.
Rating: 6/10
Quantum of Solace (2008)
Posted in action with tags 2008, action, crime, movies on 11 April, 2009 by Z!I never understood the James Bond phenomena and I still don’t get why there’s a need to make childish and unrealistic action movies. I tried really hard for 60 minutes but then I had no other choice but giving up.

Thick as Thieves (2009)
Posted in crime with tags 2009, action, crime, movies on 11 April, 2009 by Z!Pretty boring crime movie with Morgan Freeman being the bad guy this time around. Neither his nor Antonio Banderas’ performance were convincing though.

The Departed (2006)
Posted in crime with tags 2006, action, crime, drama, movies, thriller on 28 February, 2009 by Z!Massachusett’s State Police against a local Irish-American gang with an all star Hollywood line-up ala Martin Scorsese. It just can’t go wrong, can it?

RocknRolla (2008)
Posted in crime with tags 2008, action, british, comedy, crime, movies on 1 February, 2009 by Z!This could have made an excellent British gangster comedy as it has the ingreedients but things don’t seem to fall into place in Guy Ritchie’s movie. The story isn’t really original and also having Russian characters with fake conversations wasn’t really a good idea. Anyway, it’s not a bad movie by any means but I would take Lock, Stock and the Two Smoking Barrels any day over this.

Eagle Eye (2008)
Posted in action with tags 2008, action, crime, movies, mystery, thriller on 31 January, 2009 by Z!Big-Brother-is-watching-you type of movie with a well over the top plot. If I could just figure out why does a computer with ultimate super power and control over most electronic devices have to set up a really complicated assassination attempt on anyone instead of doing it the easy way?

Shooter (2007)
Posted in action with tags 2007, action, crime, movies, thriller on 30 January, 2009 by Z!A retired sniper is being set up in an assassination attempt but he escapes and seeks for revenge. This is how I like my action movies: fast pace, good story, great acting and entertainment throughout.
