As the result of a childhood wish, John Bennett’s teddy bear, Ted, came to life and has been by John’s side ever since – a friendship that’s tested when Lori, John’s girlfriend of four years, wants more from their relationship.

As usual Seth MacFarlene comes through with raunchy and rude comedy with a lot of wit just using a Teddy Bear. Mark Walhberg plays the big kid with a live Teddy Bear, and they do the craziest things, just like big kids. It has its very funny moments and you can tell its got a touch of Family Guy humor in the movie, and I love how they bring Flash Gordon into the movie. Surprisingly the one thing that is off is Mark Walhberg, I’m used to seeing him as the less talk more action type of guy, not the goofy comedy guy even if it is R-rated, he just didn’t fit acting like a kid but still it was a very funny movie.

I love dark comedies, and this one looks hilarious. A screenwriter (Colin Farrell) gets in big trouble when his small time crook friends (Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken) kidnap a mobster’s (Woody Harrelson) dog in Martin McDonagh’s dark comedy.

A SWAT team becomes trapped in a tenement run by a ruthless mobster and his army of killers and thugs.

This movie just couldn’t get any better, for the first part of the movie I couldn’t figure out what language it was at first I thought it was Thai but still it was a bit different. The movie starts off intensely, a group of Elite cops planning to take down a Drug King Pin, except they were a little over their heads. Things start off pretty good but when one thing goes wrong its a domino effect, and the fighting is intense, and nonstop, I literally mean nonstop, these guys just didn’t stop, an endless supply of bad guys. If you are a looking for an action packed martial arts movie then this is it, it delivered on everything that was promised. Loved it. Turns out its an Indonesian movie, no wonder I couldn’t figure out the language.

I hope everyone is enjoying their Eid break, I for one am back to work but the streets were empty this morning so I’m assuming some people took the week off which is smart. This Eid break for us was simply about being lazy and completely relaxing, so with all those movie lists we had a few insane marathons, some guys passed out, some guys made it through and some watched more then me. This is just going to be a simple wrap up and some we have watched before but they were too good to pass up.

The List Of Movies We Watched:

The Avengers – Watched it twice, this movie is amazing
Battleship – Transformers but with Aliens, lots of fun
The Dictator – Damn its a funny movie

Freelancers – Think Training Day with Denzel Washington, and put in Robert De Niro, and the main character this time is 50 Cent, but also Forrest Whittaker is in it and he is pretty good. I was impressed with 50 cent, he wasn’t terrible, he had a slight mumbling problem but the movie was pretty intense, I liked it.

Three Stooges – We wanted to laugh and thought to put in this movie. It was a bit too kiddy for our taste so we stopped the movie about 30 minutes in and switched to something else. So skip it.

A Thousand Words – The new Eddie Murphy family comedy, and it wasn’t too bad, it felt a little like Dr Doo Little but this time he faced a life altering situation, and its the usual Eddy Murphy style. If you like Eddy you like enjoy the movie, its one of those easy light movies to watch.

The red band trailer for End of Watch, a gritty, testosterone-packed movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña about two cops who get in the crosshairs of the cartel. Now this is one crazy movie, if you liked Training Day then this is going to be on your watch list, I’m gonna enjoy this.

Eid weekend is upon us, and its going to be a rather long one so for this one I have a few movies piled up into the pipeline. Some are blockbusters like The Dictator, and The Hunger Games and some are not, and a few Asian movies thrown into the mix. I know for sure I’m going to watch The Dictator again, its just that funny, and Raid The Redemption is at the top of my watch list at the moment.

• The Hunger Games
• Bernie
• Sofia
• The Lucky One
• Bachelorette
• The Pirates! Band of Misfits
• The Dictator
• Choy Lee Fut
• Himizu
• The Rise And Fall Of The White Collar Hooligan

Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers vampires are planning to take over the United States. He makes it his mission to eliminate them.

Its just one of those movies that is so out there you think they can’t screw up the history of a man who is very famous. Introducing Vampires and Zombies to so many stories isn’t new but Abraham Lincoln was just a fresh twist on the story. It was interesting as it developed, why Abraham introduced the emancipation proclamation and even how he grew from a young man into the man that he is known for as well as being a vampire hunter. The movie doesn’t take the steps that you think it does and then he trains to be a vampire hunter and fights the south. The whole movie is a roller coaster and then ending was just ridiculous, but if you like vampire movies this is a fun one.

Ramadan is one of those times where you either have too much times on your hands or none at all, in my case its the later so the movies have been piling up. There a few interesting on this list like The Lorax & The Three Stooges, those are movies that are light and entertaining. But on the other side of the spectrum are Fastest & I Am Bruce Lee, and both of them are very cool documentaries, Fastest is about MotoGP bikes which I have just seen and loved, and who doesn’t love Bruce Lee. Raid The Redemption is also at the top of my watch list of Asian movies, and on the British side Wild Bill looks pretty good.

• Battleship
• ATM
• The Lorax
• The Three Stooges
• The Raven
• Tape 407
• Street Dance 2
• Soldiers Of Fortune
• Meeting Evil
• I Am Bruce Lee
• Fastest
• Get The Gringo
• Brake
• The Raid Redemption
• Wild Bill
• Wanderlust

A man wrongly convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage against the U.S. is offered his freedom if he can rescue the president’s daughter from an outer space prison taken over by violent inmates.

What this movie lacks in special effects it makes up for in character, well at least Guy Pearce does, the guy is perfect for the role. Just the right combination of sarcastic and snazzy, he is the perfect tough guy lead role for this movie and they had the right type of crazies in it. The special effects were lacking significantly, the CG effects from the motorcycle chase to falling out of space were pretty. Pearce reveals a sort of endless reserve of cocky charm, a back pocketful of jokes for the violent situations in which he finds himself. He carrys the characters in his scene including Maggie Grace, the lead females. But take the action movie on its own propulsive merits, and it’s good scifi fun in a tidy package.

This is just getting me excited, James Bond 007, the next iteration with Daniel Craig, its been too damn long and it looks like the wait is going to be worth it. I love that the trailer gives nothing away except that Bond is as composed as ever in any given situation. November is around the corner
