Takers_On DVD_Starring TI, Chris Brown, Matt Dillion and the Man Candy Crew (LOL)
Submitted by admin on Sun, 01/23/2011 - 17:33
“Takers” starring to many boy toy actors to mention, is an exciting movie with a good story line, there are some great actions scenes but the best is Chris Brown’s. He acts as one of the Takers (bank robbers) who gets cornered and puts on a daring escape with a lot of running and jumping stunts. The camera work is good because you can’t tell if it’s him or a stunt man. The only disappointing thing about this movie is the ending, watch and you will see what I mean, in all it’s a good action movie. I give it 7.5 out of 10 for the action and interest created by the writer, stunt people, special effects, and camera persons. it's worth a viewing and guys your woman will like it because all the cute men that were cast in this movie (lol).
Julie & Julia_On Satellite and DVD_starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams

This Movie is a delightful story about a want to be writer who uses the internet to review a recipe book written by Juliet Child. Amy Adams does a great job acting this character out as a married woman who is handling her passion while handling her relationship with her husband. The writer does a great job in switching back and forth between her life and the life of Juliet Child, they bring it together by making comparisons between the struggles they both go through to be recognized and legitimized by publisher. I give it 8 out of 10; it’s a good movie to pick up on DVD for a family watch during the holidays(any holidays) it may just peak your interest in a few recipes.
Salt_On DVD_Starring Angelina Jolie
Submitted by admin on Wed, 01/19/2011 - 00:59
So I had time over the Christmas 2010 holiday to watch a few movies and I decided “SALT” would be one of them. I reluctantly rented it and was expecting nothing really special, I was wrong. Angelina Jolie needs to retire Lara Croft for good because Salt kicks her a..... and stomps on her afterwards. I’m a major Bourne trilogy fan so don’t take this blog lightly, this is the first in an instalment of a series that you can see will make her a lot of money (as if she needs it). She does a wicked job of portraying a master spy with all the skills of Bourne, in my opinion Salt is better than Bourne only because she s cuter. All jokes aside this movie is a 9 out 10 and I can’t wait to see what they will do next with this character (I hope my last comment doesn’t ruin the movie for you). Anyhow, rent it or buy no matter which you’ll enjoy it if you like spy movies. Who doesn’t like spy movies?
Date Night: Action-Comedy Starring Steve Carell, Tina Fey, James Franco, Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg

See this movie not for the action, or romance but for the comedy. It was too funny! I loved watching Tina Fey and Steve Carell carry the movie with their hilarious comedic volleying. It made me bypass the other shortcomings, like a silly plot. I won’t even get into the storyline, other than it is about a suburban couple getting caught up in an case of mistaken identity gone wild. Also starring in Date Night were the dysfunctional couple, Mila Kunis (a stripper)and James Franco(a thief). Their performance was fun to watch. Then there was too slick- too shirtless Mark Wahlberg. His character was the antithesis to the Carell character, Phil Foster. It was hilarious watching Carell squirm with jealousy in reaction to his wife’s flirting. The lead actors definitely made the movie work all the way to the end, and I mean to the end. Stay and watch the credits with the improvised outtakes.
Alice In Wonderland –Starring Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway

I saw Alice in Wonderland with my 11 year old son and niece. They both said they liked it and it held my sons attention for the most part (no excessive trips to the washroom). I enjoyed the visuals and we didn’t even see it in 3D, but the storyline was uninteresting to me.

This movie is for all you aspiring females who have need to break free of the titles put on you before you were able to honestly think and make decisions about your future for yourselves. This movie is definatley a "chick flick" so for you men who are trying to impress your significant other or fathers/mothers having a daughters night, this movie is it. Bliss Cavendar nicknamed Babe Ruthless finally finds her place when she stumbles into her adventure to check out a roller derby in Austin Texas. Well this event is the revival of Skinny Minnie Miller and the girls (I am so dating myself/ google her). She decides this is what she wants to do roller derby but mom and pops aren't having it. Well the movie does have a happy ending after all; it's fun and silly and heart warming and makes a good mother daughter movie. Best of all Drew Barrymore doesn't cast herself as the star she takes the back seat and gives someone&
DJ Hero_Video Game 360 console
Submitted by admin on Mon, 02/15/2010 - 00:28
Sorry folks this one has been a long time coming, we got the game the day it came out and we needed to get a thorough testing, we don't blog to increase Christmas sales. Former DJ talking here; it's sick. The game actually got some kids interested in real live DJing; it teaches the actual concept of cross fading, effects, left hand or right hand scratching. The music is what impressed me the mixes are crazy and it actually has some real classic Funk, R and B mixed with ummm everything, it also has a guitar mode. Verdict? Hip Hop heads finally got one that they can call a classic buy it, it's great at parties, if you like Djing, if you want to learn how and oh yeah if you are an old school Hip Hop head you'll love the tracks. 11 out 10 says IGEM (Is that Possible? today it is) well done on the design you did your research.

This martial arts movie was filmed in Thailand so either turn on the english translation on your PC or DVD; if not get ready to read subtitles. If martial arts movies is your thing this movie will delight you; tickle your fancy. It has some really great fighting scenes (you see some traditional martial arts styles like tiger/snake etc..); it tries to get into a story line but it's a good attempt at a hard sell. Oh, don't tell me the main theme is revenge; let's avenge the family blood line. The main idea of revenge is the same as every other martial arts movie but in full HD or Blueray so that adds to the excitement and the director shoots some different camera angles along with good post-production makes the quality top notch. Some of the characters look quite demonic so if you have little kids who have nightmares;BEWARE. For martial arts fans rent it 7.5 out of 10 Says IGEM/Martial arts style.
Whiteout_starring Kate Beckinsale
Submitted by admin on Wed, 02/10/2010 - 00:30
Kate Beckinsale is one of those actors who always adds something to the roles she plays. I think she kinda goes unmentioned amongst her peers as one of those great actors of our era because of the type of parts she's played. Mark my words with the right role she will eventually end up with an Academy (who knows when). It won't be for this role but she does what she does with every role, she totally owns it. Come on how can you create a script that has a US Marshal investigating a murder in the Antartica and keep us interested, well she does. No sexy dresses, no high heels, nothing provocative just boots, sweaters and a very warm Parka (do we still call them Parkas, I'm dating myself wow). She's a Marshall contemplating her next career move when suddenly she's thrown to the wolves with no way to escape except one plane ride out. Does she miss the plane?
Gamer_On DVD_starring Gerard Butler

Surrogate, Gamer, Avatar; can you say all the same. The concepts behind these movies are all the same human beings stepping into a real or manufactured body and running it on remote. Here is the order according to rating Avatar (blows you away), Surrogate (has some good qualities) Gamer I saw this one last out of all the cyber hype and it should be last. Not because the movie is so bad but because it was released on DVD during a time of cyber over run; can you say "Bad timing" Gerard Butler(Spartaaaans!!!!!!) did a good job but this movie can't compare to Avatar; which I have no choice comparing it too because of the concept. So if your trying to get to see Avatar in IMAX (Canadian technology by the way yeah for Mississauga) and it's always sold out, and Surrogate isn'tt in your local DVD rental store get Gamer. 6.5 out of 10 says IGEM
