The Mummy : Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor



What can I say? 3rd movie from the popular series, although some actors have been replaced the show still lived up to its expectations. Storyline was definitely good and CG was excellent, there isn't much else to say, what's bad? Nothing. It's just a good action movie to watch.

Movie Review : X-Files I want to believe



I'd like to belive that it was a good movie, but sadly it's just okay. The movie would have been much better if they followed up from the first movie or from the last episode of the series. But unfortunately it was just a normal episode turned into a movie. Ok, I'm sorry if I spoilt it for anyone but if you are expecting what lot of people were expecting, then I guess you'll be dissapointed. Although the storyline was good and the plot which was true to the X-Files series, in a movie it just didn't work. Good effort by everyone, but I think they shouldn't have wasted money on this project.



What made X-Files so popular was the UFO's the Aliens and the black oil stuff and all that, where were they? Why didn't they follow up after the series ended?

Movie : The Dark Knight



When I heard that this movie was good I was expecting top notch acting and action. Sweetie and I decided to catch the Midnight movie and it was definately worth every dollar. The movie was everything I expected and more, what's more? Well the storyline was excellent!
We were even more impressed with the actors, sweetie said that Christian Bale who takes the role as Batman seemed more "in-tune" with the character compared to the first movie and I agree with that. Heath Ledger who played Batman's most famous supervillan The Joker was superb! His acting skills are actually very very good, you'd never tell that it was him if you didn't read the credits, he was a true natural and portrayed the character so well.

Movie : Hellboy 2



Much much better than the 1st show. Although I'm not a fan of the comic but I was impressed with this movie. Alot of action and followed with a good storyline it made the show worth the watch in the cinema. If you didn't enjoy the 1st movie and thought the 2nd movie would be the same, you're wrong. Go catch it.

Movie : Hancock



Now this was an interesting movie. I didn't expect much from the show but the storyline did surprise me and it definately made the movie worth the watch. Great special effects, superb storyline and rock solid acting from Will Smith and Charlize Theron is definately worth the trip to the cinema.

Movie : Wanted



Now here's an interesting movie to watch. There seems to be quite a lot of movies that are being made into a movie lately and I can see why, they do rake in alot of money. Big shows like The Dark Night, Incredible Hulk & Iron Man just to name a few have already made waves in the industry.

Here's another movie that was adapted from a comic, you might be asking "really?". Although this comic wasn't as big as the long time best selling comics, why? you ask, cause it's a miniseries. Personally I have never heard of this movie before it came out on the big screen. But I was impressed with the storyline and the awesome computer graphics. Needless to say it's defiantly a good watch if you have the time.

Movie : Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull



Wow, it's been a while since I watched the last Indiana Jones movie. Since it was Father's day weekend I decided to take mum and dad to watch the movie just like we did all those years ago. It's nice to be able to watch something new that has been watched and enjoyed by your family years ago. It brings back memories, good good memories.

The movie was good, being an Indy fan, I've always loved the storyline and the character played by Harrison Ford. He's a classic and will remain to be one of my most favorite Action, Adventure character. Just go watch the movie, you won't be disappointed.

Xbox360 : Grand Theft Auto 4


Andy's Rating : 10/10

I've been a fan of GTA since it it was released wayyy back in 1997 with it's top view style gaming. It was considered revolutionary in the gaming world in terms of freedom to do anything and to go anywhere. Fast forward to 2008 and now we have the 4th installment of the game that is available on major gaming platforms. 3D graphics which are excellent and gameplay that will keep you busy for hours. The makers of the game really put alot of effort into this game and is expected to sell alot of copies. I managed to grab a copy for the Xbox 360 and when I was at the store they had quite a lot of copies for PS3 and the Xbox 360, so go get it!

Apart from the normal things you can do like stealing a car, shooting people, driving like a mad man on the streets of Liberty City there are other elements that have been added to the game. For example, the mini games like bowling, 8-ball pool, darts and some others which I am not aware of yet cause I just started the game. But so far I'm impressed with the contents, graphics, sound and freedom where after you finish the main story mode you'd have alot more of things to do.
