Spartacus

I fear it may be impossible to talk about this movie without mentioning the political climate of the time.

However, this is supposed to be a light-hearted review, so I don't want to weigh it down.

If you want to know the details, you can read up on it here.

With that out of the way, who am I talking about?

This guy.

The first thing I notice about this movie is the sheer length. I own the extended edition, so it clocks in at over 3 hours.

So watching this movie feels like a marathon by itself.

Red Reaper

If you've never heard of this movie, I wouldn't blame you.

This is one of those movies where you see the DVD cover and you just know it's going to be painful to watch.

And this is the better version.

That rechead up there is a woman named Tara Cardinal, who not only starred in this movie, but also wrote, directed and produced it.

You can tell there this is going.

But there's worse.

One of the executive producers is a guy named Uwe Boll. If you've not heard of Uwe Boll then let me tell you what he's famous for.

1; Using German tax loopholes to screw investors out of money.

2; Making atrociously bad action movies such as Bloodrayne.

3; Challenging film critics to boxing matches so that he can beat them into submission.

Classy.

Yes Man

I'm not really sure what to say about this movie.

I mean, it's not a bad movie by any means. But nothing really sticks out about it.

After all, if you ask someone to name their favourite Jim Carrey roles, Carl Allen doesn't often get remembered, let alone mentioned.

Who man?

So let's have a look at it and see if I can find anything worth discussing.

The Snow Queen

Everybody is aware of the Disney smash-hit Frozen.

However, a surprising amount of people didn't realise that it was based on a fairytale by Hans Christian Anderson, titled The Snow Queen.

And Disney weren't the only people who attempted to adapt this classic tale.

Russia got there a year earlier.

And with less budget.

It's interesting to note that while this movie came out in 2012, it was released on DVD almost immediately after Frozen broke records. It even has the tagline 'The tale that inspired Frozen'.

So let's have a look and see if this movie can stand on its' own merits or not.
