Soul Surfer
Soul Surfer (2011) – on rental. The story of this not-too-mainstream film goes like this. Bethany Hamilton is a 13 year old girl living in Kauai. She has two brothers, loving parents, and is in a Christian family who loves

Love and Other Drugs
Love and Other Drugs (2010) – on rental. By coincidence, this was the second of two rented films I’ve watched in this month about relationships centered on casual sex. Like the earlier film – No Strings Attached – Love and
Green Lantern
Green Lantern (2011) – AMK Hub. Of the whole bunch of super heroes from DC Comics’ repertoire, I’ve always felt that the Green Lanterns would had been the hardest to translate into a live motion picture adaptation. Unlike the Batman
Space Battleship Yamato
Space Battleship Yamato (2010) – on rental. While Michael Bay’s film versions of Transformers have gone from so-so to awful, my basis for comparison laid in watching those films as they were. I didn’t grow up on the Transformers cartoons.
The Adjustment Bureau
The Adjustment Bureau (2010) – on rental. The late American author Philip K. Dick has churned out a large number of short sci-fi stories, many of which are invariably about the juxtapositions of time, space and destiny. Several of these
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) – AMK Hub. The Internet Critics haven’t been kind on Michael Bay’s Transformers 3. It’s been almost universally panned to be an incoherent mess. The funniest thing though is that my 11 year old
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011) – Cathay @ AMK Hub. I haven’t been writing much about films on our blog – and that’s not because we haven’t been watching any. On the contrary, we’ve been hitting
Generation Kill
Generation Kill (2008). I thought the HBO adaptation of the late Professor Stephen Ambrose’ Band of Brothers book could not be beat for the best TV series ever about war. That’s especially in view of the visually stunning production-wise but
Sherlock
Sherlock (2010). I’ve been meaning to write a blog post on this crime series made for BBC for a while now, but kept putting it off. I picked up the Blu-ray set for this 3 episode series several months ago
Centurion
Centurion (2010) – on rental. I’m always a big sucker for historical dramas, especially that centered on the ancient Roman civilization. Centurion was released last year in theatres here, but I gave it a miss on account of that early
Piranha 3D
Piranha 3D (2010) – on rental. Critters gone amok, and eating up humans while at it. That’s the kind of film I’ll happily watch when I need film entertainment without emotional or brain investment! Piranha 3D is a remake of
Oodles of Romantic Dramas, Action and Super Hero Flicks – Part 2
Continuation from the last post! The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (2010). Surprisingly, a new modern day fantasy film that isn’t an adaption from an existing novel. Nicholas Cage plays Balthazar a still sprightly 1000 year old sorcerer from Merlin’s days, in a
