The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest (2009)

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest (2009)

What a way to end a wonderful series of movies about the troubled woman with a nightmare childhood. From what I have gathered about the entire Millennium trilogy (The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo, The Girl who Played with Fire and The Girl who Kicked The Hornet’s Nest), this series is really about the abuse of young women and the shady political affiliations...

The Girl Who Played With Fire (2009)

The Girl Who Played With Fire (2009)

With a new director, a seemingly smaller budget and a completely different feel, The Girl Who Played With Fire didn’t feel like a true sequel to the amazing The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. While all of the remarkable actors from the original are back and manage to do a splendid job with their roles, the movie felt a bit lacking in the direction and the...

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009)

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009)

A sexy Murder Mystery with an extremely dark coat of paint about it; The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is a Swedish crime story directed by Niels Arden Oplev and based on a novel by the same name. On the surface it is a story about a wealthy old man who hires a famous journalist to investigate his missing family member of 40 years – a beautiful young woman...

Drive (2011)

Currently there’s a woman suing Drive for offering up a false impression with its trailer. Given that this lawsuit will rank up there with the most asinine reasons to sue a company, the fact of the matter is that she is right. The trailers offered up a Fast and Furious clone but in reality the movie was a dark, artsy, gritty, and violent mob picture. This...

Before I Self Destruct (2009)

Before I Self Destruct (2009)

While technically terrible with the lackluster acting (though I found Curtis Jackson to be good), amateur camera work and clichéd story Before I Self Destruct had its moments and ended up being an enjoyable Netflix watch for me. Part of the reason being that Clarence played by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson was such a likable characters that besides all of his...

Fast Five (2011)

Fast Five (2011)

An excellent job by Vin Diesel and company on this action packed return to form for Fast and Furious series. If you thought that the series was over think again, this reboot has brought back the excitement of the original. Jordana Brewster is slim, tan and absolutely delicious. Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson are JACKED! These two titans clashing took all of the...
