Highlander Endgame
I actually really liked this movie. The film seeks to bring together the original movie (with Christoper Lambert) and the Highlander series. They (wisely, I might add) pretty much completely ignore Highlander 2 and 3. They pick up from the end of the first movie and, …
Stargate: Atlantis 501 “Search and Rescue”
Stargate Atlantis season 5 premiere was one of the things I was really waiting for. With all the spoilers out there, I couldn’t imagine how they will make it work. And oh boy, was it worth it.
The episode is an immediate continuation of the season 4 finale. The building …

Daredevil Movie
Whoever told Ben Affleck that he can wear tights yet alone act (without Matt Damon) needs therapy. Bringing this comic book hero to life using this type of actor/acting is reprehensible and I dare say that they should have known better. While there are some actors cut out to …
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie
I think the movie “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” was supposed to be based upon a novel by the same name as I think I remember my boyfriend recommending it to me to read. However, I never read the book and I only watched the movie. I can …

Meet the Spartans DVD
I recently borrowed the DVD of the movie “Meet the Spartans” from a friend and watched it with my family. I must say this has to be the second movie after “You Don’t Mess with Zohan” which I would consider as a crappy movie.

Batman Returns
