The Killers


Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher are Spencer and Jen the picture perfect couple who fall madly in love and live happily ever after...

Well not quite, after three years of a seemingly perfect marriage, Spencer turns 30, Jen finds out that her 'wouldn't hurt a fly' husband is in fact an undercover agent who is the target of a multi-million dollar hit attempt!

The couple are now in for the fight of their lives to stay out of harm's way but they have no idea who it is who is after them!

This movie is full of adventure, and very funny! Kutcher and Heigl make the most hilarious on screen couple and play their parts extremely well.

While it is definitely not an 'Oscar winner' it is good for a bit of light entertainment on the weekend. So if you haven't got any plans for Saturday afternoon, then see this one.

We give this flick a rating of 3 out of 5!

Prince of Persia


Prince of Persia is the epic tale of the rogue Prince- Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) who's destiny it is to save all of humanity from eternal enslavement.

An evil nobleman wants to posses the 'Sands of time'- a legendary gift from the gods, that allow whoever owns them to make time stand still and rule over the earth. It is Prince Dastan's duty to release the sands so nobody is enslaved.

This story is fast moving, thrilling and full of adventure. Time will fly by as you watch it and it's perfect for a Friday night with that special someone or just your friends.

We really enjoyed Prince of Persia, the acting is good, there are a few funny moments and it's not serious at all!

We rate this flick 3 out of 5!

Robin Hood


The classic tale of the forest robber who steals from the rich and gives to the poor comes to the big screen for the second time.

If you are thinking this is just a remake of the first Robin Hood movie, made in the 90's then you are wrong! This time round the directors have taken the Robin Hood story and told it from the time before Robin Hood became this famous 'redistribution of wealth' villain.

We are taken on the journey Robin went through before he became famous, when he served in King Richard's army for 10 years before becoming discontented and finally after being hunted for his life, settles down in the woods with a band of people and starts his well-known escapade!

It is really a beautiful story that is not only well acted, Robin is played by Russell Crow, but it is also a bit of a history lesson told in a very exciting way.

We definitely recommend you see this flick! It is great.

We give this movie a rating of 3 out of 5!

Hot Tub Time Machine


After a night of heavy drinking in a ski resorts hot tub, four friends, including Adam- John Cussack find that when they wake up the next morning, they are back in the year 1986!

Each of the friends is able to go and change things in his past to make his future better! We are taken on four separate yet intertwined journeys that turn out quite differently from the way they did before!

It is an amusing movie, that is quite funny but it isn't anything I would get for the DVD collection! Sadly it seems like John Cussack is grasping at straws with his movie selections! Maybe see this one when it comes out on video.

Can't say we loved it all that much and therefore we give this flick a rating of 2 out of 5!
