Hancock

Hancock

This film about an anti-superhero has been getting poor reviews. The general concentrate is that the film falls apart in the second half. I would agree that the second half opens up some plot holes. However, I would say that I was able to overlook them and I found Hancock to be a decent film….

Wanted

Wanted

I didn’t really decided to see Wanted until just a few weeks ago and I was really expecting more than what I got. The first five minutes showed some Marix-like action scenes that made me excited, but with the exception of the climax, it was a fairly standard action film. I’d say that I probably…

The Strangers

The Strangers

Since I was away during the weekend, I quickly went to go see this film today. I would have to say that was definitely a very suspenseful film. It was also chilling that this is more realistic film (probably to support its, slightly exaggerated, tag that the film was “inspired by true events”). I also…
