Babylon A.D. – Movie Review

Posted by in Movies

This is one of the many bad movies I’ve watched over the last few days, and I won’t be spending much time on them.  Babylon A.D. is set somewhere around 40 years in the future, where America has closed it’s borders for fear of terrorism and everywhere else is pretty much a warzone.  Vin Diesel plays a retired U.S. Army something or other who is now a mercenary.  He’s hired to take a woman from a convent to New York, but there is something special about this woman that everyone…read more

He's Just Not That Into You – Movie Review

Posted by in Movies

Yes I watched a chick flick without a chick around, it’s sad I know.  I don’t know why I even download these movies, the odds are I’ll have to watch them again with my next girlfriend; I should just save myself the hassle of watching it twice by not watching it in the first place (uhhh sure).  So anyway, as much as you could probably tell from the title (He’s Just Not That Into You) it was a RomCom, for some reason I didn’t put two and two together (that…read more

Quantum of Solace – Movie Review

Posted by in Movies

I watched the latest Bond film last night and I was surprised how much I liked it, much more than Casino Royale.  I like how they are basically restarting the series with Bond being a lot less polished and not relying on gadgets as much.  My only concern was that it’s basically a sequel to Casino Royale and I haven’t seen it in a while, so I couldn’t remember all the names they were throwing about so much. I believe I like this Bond the best out of all of…read more

RocknRolla – Review

Posted by in Movies

Last night I watched the new Guy Ritchie film RocknRolla, which is basically a heist film set in the seedy London underworld.  The real estate market boom has caused underworld types to go from standard drugs and illegal betting to controlling how people buy land and get zoned.  There is lots of money to be made if you have your hands in every piece of the pie. I won’t go into the details, suffice it to say two roughnecks get played by the local crime boss and end up owing…read more
