The Other Guys


Jammed with big time stars such as Samuel L Jackson, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Michael Keaton and Damon Wayans, you're sure to have a hit on your hands with this flick.

Moving away from the norm of oh-so-serious cop dramas, this takes a refreshing twist as a cop spoof. It takes the age old story of good cops framed by bad cops but it is ridiculous and above all, funny. It will leave you laughing till your sides hurt, but you will be gagging for more.

We give this movie the thumbs up and rate it 4 out of 5!

The Karate Kid

This is one of those remakes that really works. Whether you've seen the original Karate Kid or not, you're going to love this version, which stars Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son) and Jackie Chan.

When Dre (Jaden) is forced to move to China with his mom, he finds himself in a strange country and school, being bullied. Luckily the school janitor Mr Han (Chan) decides to save his bacon one day by showing off some serious kung-fu moves. Desperate to learn kung-fu himself, Dre convinces the old guy to teach him. Will he be able to take on the school bully in a fighting competition? You're going to have to find out!

Somehow this story has not aged and is still really good fun to watch. We loved it. Enjoy!

Resident Evil: Afterlife

If you haven't watched the three Resident Evil movies prior to this one, where have you been? The films are non-stop action with wicked effects and pit man against zombies, otherwise known as the "undead".

In this particular film, the undead have taken over the earth and few humans still exist. Alice, the heroine, must try find fellow survivors and fight for the future of the planet. Prepare yourself for some awesome action! We give this one our stamp of approval.
