Movies: Rise of the Guardians (DVD – PG), Conan the Barbarian (2011) (DVD – 15) & Taken (DVD – 15)


Rise of the Guardians (DVD – PG) – what’s it about? The Boogieman wants to take over the world and the Guardians must protect all that is good.

So this is a nice little cartoon where the Guardians must save the day against a baddie, so nothing new on the plot of a film there really. It’s a nice little story and the characters are all pretty cool and fun in their own ways, I’m still not sure why Santa has swords but it’s awesome. Yeah I really did like this one filled with magic and belief, it is just generally a good film, which I think people of all ages would love, it’s not overly kiddy and is generally well done I think. It’s worth a watch if you’d like to watch a nice easy going film.

Rating: ****



Conan the Barbarian (2011) (DVD – 15) – what’s it about? Conan travels the land in search of the person that killed his father to get revenge.

I thought I’d give this one a re-watch as I hadn’t seen it for a bit, and well I kind of forgot how brutal this was, yeah it’s a 15 but still so it’s harsh at times. Yeah the plot is a little meh but its more about the action and survival than too much story, which gets by to make it a good film, but it’s definitely one you watch with leaving your brain at the door. Yep it’s got a good lot of violence and some is really like ouch funny…and I think quite a few people are happy to watch Jason Mamoa kick some baddies butts on screen. Yep if you want to watch a stack of violence with not too much thinking involved then check this out.

Rating: ***



Taken (DVD – 15) – what’s it about? After his daughter is kidnapped, Mills heads to Paris to try to find her.

I hadn’t seen this for a long while and I picked it up before all the shops closed, I remembered it was pretty damn good so yeah what the hell. Yeah this is a good thriller, it’s filled with a nice chunk lot of action as the retired military father goes on a mission to find his daughter, and kill all the baddies along the way with some brutal violence. Yeah they really fucked up kidnapping the wrong girl lol. I can’t really say any more without giving it away, but yeah it’s still brilliant to watch even on the second time around. If you haven’t seen it and you want to just watch a really great film then this is worth checking out.

Rating: ****
