Arena (2011 Video)

Not as bad as it seems.

[4/10 · 22 April 2012]

Well, you've seen it all before, it's not a new concept but it's still pretty interesting. I sat through the whole movie without any problems at all. Sure, some things were pretty stupid like that an infamous mass murderer wouldn't have more security or that you cannot possibly survive the amount beating the main character receives.

I liked the movie but unfortunately it was too average. The acting is nothing to complain about but the characters are pretty boring. Samuel L. Jackson gives us a typical villain and Kellan Lutz gives us the usual hero, nothing special on that front.

I liked Daniel Dae Kim's character but he had a too small a role. It had every better if they had developed his character more then I would care a lot more about the people who died. There are lots of people who die but I did not think I really cared it was unfortunate and something that they could have worked more with.

This is by no means comparable to Hunger Games/BR, but give it a shot if you just want some pretty OK entertainment.

Once Upon a Time (2011–2018)

"Magic always comes with a price"

[5/10 · 14 January 2012]

This is a very innovative TV series. The evil queen wants her own happy ending, but "magic always comes with a price." It's a very clever idea, the whole series is made after that concept which makes it very unique.

All the characters are very likable except the little kid who can get a little too much sometimes. Occasionally, the series can be quite silly and goofy but I guess it is for it to be a family show but it feels stupid sometimes. But besides such trifles, it is a good television series that is exciting and fun.

It will be very exciting to see how the series continues. So far it has been very promising. One problem, however, (based on that it has been so successful) is that I'm not sure they have a good plan for a possible season two. I don't want this to become another television series that have a good first season but a bad second one.

Then finally, just to name Mr. Gold, he is easily my favorite character.

The Hangover (2009)

A really funny movie

[8/10 · 11 January 2012]

I can not remind myself that I've laughed this much for a long time. Everything from start to finish offers a wonderful blend of humor, so I think everyone will find something they like in this movie. It's hard not to find a favorite character because all the characters have so many things to offer.

After seeing this movie for the third time, I think it has exactly the same charm as the first time. I will probably look at it many more times in the future and that says a lot about the movie. I recommend it to anyone who has not seen it and if it's been a long time since you saw it, watch it again! It's worth it.

Midnight in Paris (2011)

A magical adventure which I think most people will appreciate.

[6/10 · 6 January 2012]

Midnight in Paris is a very imaginative and entertaining film about that you should appreciate what you have in the present. The film is very nicely filmed and it shows much of the city's beautiful surroundings. It's a really fun film filled with wonderful music and the actors were really good. During the film there was a lot of funny situations that Gil (Owen Wilson) ended up in and I could identify myself with the character many times throughout the movie. Although I thought the movie was predictable I didn't think it was any less boring. I recommend the movie to anyone who just wants to watch a nice and fun movie.
