Iron Man 2 Review

Ever since the huge success of "Iron Man 1", enthralled moviegoers have been eagerly anticipating its sequel. While I enjoyed Iron Man's first big screen outing, I wasn't particularly excited about the prospect of a follow up. I've always been a little wary of sequels, and the disappointment of The Dark Knight proved a bitter pill to swallow. I mean, they didn't exactly kill themselves making that story all it could be. So I didn't hold out much hope for this latest big-budget boasting, all-star cast wielding, summer release with something to prove. Was I right to be sceptical or was I pleasantly surprised with how good Iron Man 2 proved to be? You'd better read the review and find out.

Hot Tub Time Machine Mini Review

Adam(John Cusack  ), Nick(Craig Robinson  ) and Lou(Rob Corddry  ) are three out of touch friends, whose lives are in varying states of disarray. The trio is brought back together when Lou has a suspiciously suicidal near-death experience. Hoping to reconnect and rejuvenate, Adam and Nick take Lou for a weekend away at the Kodiak Valley Ski Resort, just as they did back in their heyday. Adam's adolescent, live-in nephew Jacob(Clark Duke  ) also comes along for the trip, much to Lou's chagrin. Upon their arrival, they discover that "K-Val" isn't the party paradise it once was. Oh, well. At least their room has a hot tub they can rock out in. I don't want to give too much more away, but the hot tub may or may not send them back in time. To the year 1986. Maybe.

Kick-Ass Review

I know it's been a while since the last write up, but allow me to make it up to you with this kick-ass review which, as it turns out, is not that great; the movie, that is. The review is great. So read along, won't you, as I narrow-mindedly condemn the film for not being exactly like the graphic novel which I just so happen to be giving away to one lucky reader.

How To Train Your Dragon 3D Review

How I Met Your Dragon is the latest offering from our friends at Dreamworks Animation, the folks responsible for such computer animate hits as Shrek and Madegascar, among many others. "They did Ice Age too, right?" No. You're thinking of Blue Sky Studios. If you're going to butt in, try not to make a fool of yourself. No, I don't have children. Yes, I went to see this movie by myself. No, I didn't regret it.

Cop Out Review

Cop Out is Kevin smith's first film since the funny and decidedly adult Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Alas, this time he is only the director, the writers being Mark & Robb Cullen.^{+Don't worry. This time it's ok if you haven't heard of them.} Bruce Willis plays a cop? I'm listening. Tracy Jordan is his wacky partner? Sounds like it could be fun. Seann William Scott plays an annoying petty criminal? No deal! Just kidding; you had me at "Bruce Willis".

Jimmy Monroe and Paul Hodges are a pair of streetwise NYPD detectives and partners of 9 years. When we meet them, they are about to interrogate a small time drug offender in the hopes that he'll turn snitch and help them nab someone higher up the food chain. You may not have heard, but New York has been having a bit of trouble with organised crime lately and the cops are keen to put a stop to it before NY becomes an unsafe place to live.

The Mana Bar Impressions

With the highly anticipated opening of Australia's first video game bar being a week ago, some friends and I thought the weekend just gone would be a good time to check it out. We'd avoid the opening night kinks and crowds, but still catch the buzz while it was high. Continue?

Green Zone Review

Why am I reviewing Green Zone and not The Hurt Locker, winner of six Academy Awards? Because I didn’t catch The Hurt Locker while it was showing at my local cinema and I’ll be damned if I’m paying sixteen bucks to see it at the Megaplex; that’s why. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun with Green Zone, right kids? Personally, I’ve been itching to see Matt Damon kick some ass ever since "The Informant!" Does Matt kick ass? Does this Green Zone kick ass? Read on to find out and don’t just scroll to the end like a douche.
