City Hunter

I believe I have previously mentioned that I am a fan of Jackie Chan.
I don't think I've yet mentioned my liking of Anime (Although I could be wrong).
So what happens when you combine two of my favourite things?
You get the Jackie Chan cartoon series, but a close second would be a movie called City Hunter.
Back when Jackie Chan was considered handsome.
This movie is essentially Under Siege if directed by Mel Brooks.

Chronicles Of Riddick

I am a massive fan of science fiction. However, I am not a fan of horror movies. Especially not sci-fi horror movies, like Alien or Species.
So when Pitch Black came out, I was rather skeptical of it.
I was pleasantly surprised.
And then the sequel came out.
Anyone else reminded of Drax the Destroyer?
And this film made the very rare decision to shift the genre, from sci-fi horror to sci-fi fantasy.
And a lot of fans didn't like it.
So, let's review.

Chocolate

Before we get started, I wish to point out that I am not an expert in autism.
However, I have consulted with someone who is and she has informed me that the particular form of autism shown in this movie is indeed plausible.
That having been said, this is Chocolate.
Seriously, this is really about autism.
Oh, and it's also about martial arts too.

Fifty Shades Of Grey

I have nothing against romantic movies. I think it's very important that I point that out. I actually rather enjoy them, when they're done well.
Twilight was not done well.
When Twilight was first released I hated and despised it. And yes, I did try to read it. I did not enjoy even one second of it. But I'm a great believer in letting bygones be bygones and if people wish to enjoy it, so be it. All I could do was point out the bits that were abusive and leave them to it.
But then this steaming pile of horseshit came out.
I couldn't find a decent pic of the DVD cover online.
And it sold better than proverbial hotcakes. I am still baffled as to why. It's Twilight with the serial numbers filed off. And sex added in.
If you wanted to read that, why not just go find some fanfiction?
Then you could have gotten this story for free.
Enough ranting, I've got a movie to get through.
