Diary of a Mad Black Woman

Scy Fy’s “Stonehenge Apocalypse” made-for-tv movie
The made-for-TV, Scy-fy produced film in question is much like the title suggests: campy, amusing and predictable.

G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra Movie
I’m not really a fan of G.I Joe stuff but when I saw the movie G.I Joe: The Rise of Cobra on HBO, I was kind of impressed. Not with the story though, but with the movie effects.

Transformers: Age of extinction (2014)
Finally, in midst of all its criticism, I watched Transformers: Age of Extinction. It is nothing but a visual bombardment from Michael Bay, with a poor script. It starred Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor.
