W.E. (2011)
Don't watch it
ya it sucks....... don't watch it.. I could talk about it. but I won't. it's late. and this movie was bad. Madonna is just annoying anyway. Like where did that accent come from? shes from Detroit. Do you hear her now? like all of a sudden shes English? what the hell is that about? ridiculous if you ask me. Like i know the category it was nominated for was pointless. but just the fact Modonna can claim she directed an Oscar nominated film is annoying. This story isn't even interesting. Do I have enough lines yet? i'm not sure. I gotta be close. I mean 1 on 10 is probably a little harsh.. I've seen worse movies. But still. just don't watch it.

The Incident (2011)
Better Than expected
Found the movie on netflix so we decided to watch it. I had never heard of the film or any of the actors in it and the title gave me the assumption this film would be pretty bad. But i was delightfully mistaken.
it's Not great but for a low budget horror film its pretty darn good. it took a little long getting in but after that it had great pace and intensity. It had some very shocking and gory scenes but never really crossed the line.
some parts of the film don't make the most sense and leave you questioning what happened. but all in all the setting and the disturbed inmates made for a truly scary film. very good for what it was and better than a lot of big budget films out there. i would give it a view

The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Everything you hoped it would be
"The Dark Knight Rises" was terrific. That's the simple way of putting it. So much happened on screen it is hard to do it justice in a review. The film is long. very long. But at no point during the movie was I not entertained. Bale gives yet another inspired performance And Hardy was a great success in the role of Bane.
Weather or not this film topped it's predecessors is up for debate but what is clear is that it added another iconic chapter to the Batman legacy. If you walk into this movie expecting greatness you will not walk out disappointed. From start to finish you will be invested in the wonderful story. Every film has it's flaws however they easily overlooked in the powerhouse epic. If you have yet to see it do so. if you have already seen it , see it again. Brilliant.

Act of Valor (2012)
Boring, over hyped
The First thing I will point out Is the acting.. okay so they are Seals not actors. That does not make up for the fact that it is down right brutal. It is difficult to sit through at times because it is hard to watch them struggle through their poorly written dialogue.
Next is the fact the plot (if you can call it that) is down right awful. it manages to be so simple yet still nonsensical at the same time. And the fighting and action scenes were good yet not as good as I had hoped.
This film gets a lot of praise from overly patriotic individuals who would have given this film a perfect score regardless of what happened on the screen. It was a very innovative and unique idea and the first person cam was cool but lets not see it done again.

Passchendaele (2008)
PasschenFail
This movie was pretty dreadful.
And I am saying this as a Canadian, a very patriotic one at that. Our valor at war which is often overlooked and under appreciated should indeed be celebrated and respected however this film did very little to promote any thing much more than blatantly over the top patriotism. The love story is uninteresting and forgettable. The actors are poorly cast and their dialogue is poorly written.
With so much to work with and with such a key historic moment such as Passchendaele it is astounding to me that this is the best they could do. Again the fight scenes were alright although not very realistic. Suffice to say this movie is pretty boring and poorly done. I recommend giving it a skip.
