Conan The Barbarian Review ~ Its loud, gory and fun, despite its story

Oh Conan The Barbarian, the name of the movie brings back memoires to the old movies of 1982. Sure it was cheesy, but it was epic.

So with this 2011 remake, that is what we get. Cheesy 3D effects and gore action like battles which are pretty cool. But we also get a plot, that sometimes doesn't make sense at times and pretty predictable characters.

Even the acting in this film will make you laugh, there are a few scenes where its pretty bad its just funny. Otherwise, its allright during the rest of the film.

Conan The Barbarian has a few cool creative fight scenes, which I would recommend seeing if your into that kind of stuff. Otherwise, the plot is pretty predictable and stuff you have seen before. Basiclly Conan goes out to seek revenge, and he runs into a witch and there are epic battles.

So overall, its not the worst movie I've seen, but its not super good either. Which is a shame, cause the source materiel is pretty awesome.

Spy Kids: All The Time in the world 4D ~ What a mess

Spy Kids was a great series, up until now. Spy Kids in 4D is a mess, and just plain stupid. So frist off, the film is in 3D, and you get this scratch and sniff card which you use during the movie to recreate smells that are happening on screen. Not only does this distract you from the film itself, more then half the smells are pretty gross.

So besides from that, you've got a plot, that is a lot like the first spy kids. Expect all the charm and fun is taken out. Sure, the first spy kids was campy, but this takes it to a whole new level. They also have thrown in a talking robotic dog, and a baby, which just adds to the noise.

If your taking your kids to this, be prepared as there is nothing offered for adults. (Like the first few Spy Kids films had). The villain makes way to many puns, the dialoge is horrible, and it has super campy fights. So if thats what you want, then go for it.

I would only recommend this film for those who want to watch shiny color effects and mindless action. The effects are better then earlier spy kids films, but it seems like series is only trying to milk itself into the ground. Tis a shame.

Prom Review ~ Its a little chiched and corny, but its cute

From the makers of High School Musical, Camp Rock and other great hits, Disney finally decided to make a Prom movie. Is it good? Well, that all depends if you liked Prom in high school.

Prom focuses on a bunch of kids who are either excited, or not excited for the upcoming high school prom. In fact, thats what all these kids seem to think about. They are thinking about who is going to ask them out, or how to ask some one out. You would think these kids only think about Prom and nothing else, which of course, no body in real life would be this crazy over Prom.

They put a lot of effort into it to asking each other out, which I don't remember kids from my high school doing that. But that is Disney for you, taking something like Prom and kinda turning it into some fairy tale type of thing.

The pairings, are well, a little chiched to say the least. But thats to be expected as Disney would never go the edgy route. The romance aspect is a little over the top, again due to Disney's "theres love for everyone route" but its not so bad.

What else can I say, its a heart warming, depressing, awkward Prom movie. I was never a fan of Prom, so I wasn't all that into it. But if Prom and watching couples (um, Disney couples) try to figure their way though Prom, then this may be a movie for you.

Sanctum ~ Cool 3D and cave shots won't make up for its uninspired story

I wondered why James Cameron put his name on this project, maybe he justed to test his 3D tech some more. Because its not in the same boat that Titanic and Avatar where.

First off, Sanctum does have some great cinematography and uses its 3D pretty well. There are some really cool caves shots, and one of my fave scenes is where the camera follows a cave explorer as he climbs up this chamber with water splashing in. It's pretty cool.

But when the camera isn't showing you cool 3D or cool cave shots, is when it gets bad. The script in this movie is pretty boring and blend, and I really think the concept worked better as a horror movie. (The Decent)

The characters are flat, and there isn't really anything to engaging going on. Their just trying to escape from this cave, and that's basically it. I think James Cameron was in charged of the 3D and not any of the script or directing. Which is to bad cause it will put a bad impression on James Cameron as most people think that he made it.

Anyway, its pretty entertaining just for the cool cave shots and some impressive 3D, but as far as story telling goes, don't expect much.

Country Strong Review ~ Nothing New here

Was anyone else reminded of Hannah Montana from watching the Country Strong Trailer. It totally looked like Hannah Montana for grown up's, and that is what it kinda turned out to be.

Don't take that to seriously, as while Country Strong is a bit like Hannah Montana, it's not that bad, well, it almost is. If your expecting a great strong screenplay, then you'll already hoping to high. The script is predictable, drags on at some parts and is a little mis jointed together.

The movie follows a fallen Country Singer named Kelly, as she joins forces with Beau, who is a rising young song writer. Together they go on a come back tour along with their manger James and beauty queen diva Chiles.

As you can already guess, tensions arise with romantic pairs and a battle for the spotlight. It's nothing new or anything cool story wise.

The country music is pretty decent, although not being a fan of Country all that well, I wasn't to impressed. It sounds like something you would hear on mainsteam radio, nothing awesome, but good.

Overall, I would suggest you skip Country Strong, unless your a diehard country fan or in the mood for Hannah Montana for grown ups.

The Warrior's Way Review ~ It tries, but just doesn't reach its potential

When I got out of this movie, I really didn't know what to think of it. Some parts I liked, and others where just disappointing. It's a weird blend of East meets West.

On one end, you get a epic battle scene at the end of the movie, but before that, there is barely any action. Which might make the movie seem slow from those expecting more action.

Speaking of the battle scene's, they are pretty visually cool, if like flying ninja's, cloud puffs of blood, colliding bodies and sword fighting. It's over the top violence fun, and there are a lot of dead bodies everywhere in a few scenes.While these scenes are fun, we have seen this type of fighting done better and more epic in other films.

But when there isn't a battle scene, your left with the film's odd plot. Basically, Yang decides to give up his Warrior way of life after refusing to kill a young child. By refusing his mission, his own clan has turned on him, so Yang heads to a old western cirrus town to seek cover.

There, he discovers the joy of building friend ships, growing flowers and living the simple life. Along the way, he meets a girl called Lynne, who has a tragic past, and builds a relationship with her.

Now you better like this western circus town, cause 90% of the film takes place here. Which isn't quite a bad thing, but I was hopeing the film would change location a little more often. The plot is pretty clichéd and predictable, but what else would you expect from the lame title. Plus there is narrator which has to explain the whole beginning of the story for you.

The visual scenes are nice, there are a lot of pretty sunsets and cool camera shots, but it doesn't quite make up for the rest of the film. If your expecting something mind blowing, this isn't it, but if your looking for some weird circus characters, the joys of watching slow build up's and epic climax battles, then you will be entertained.

I give it *** out of *****


(There is a part with a gravestone that saids "Died at age One" in the movie which I laughed at, just because it was a pretty big gravestone for a baby)
