8/10
Better than the reviews might suggest
23 February 2018
An entertaining retelling that isn't perfect, but doesn't have to be. As an avid fan of Agatha Christie novels and David Suchet's depiction of Poirot, I found Kenneth Brannagh's portrayal quite welcome. I walked into this movie already knowing how it might end and still found his Poirot likable (Hercule's mustache is ridiculous regardless of the length) and the passengers convincing (but otherwise, as forgettable as the cast in Suchet's Murder On the Orient Express). It was an entertaining movie. It certainly had flaws. The intro scene could have been tighter and some of the passengers could have had more character development, but compared to many of the other titles released this year, I found this movie pretty decent overall.

Vampires Suck (2010)
7/10
Much better than I would have expected!
19 July 2010
Lets be honest..almost every movie-fan that's watched epic cinematic failures like Meet the Spartans , Epic Movie etc are going to think Vampires Suck should be avoided at all costs.

They couldn't be more wrong.

YES there are a few gross-out moments in this and YES the inescapable potty- humor moment here and there, but other than that this movie is completely hilarious. I couldn't help but find myself laughing every 10 minutes and thats a pretty good track record for a modern day movie spoof. I'm not a Twilight fan..and if you're not either, chances are..you will enjoy this movie. It's light-hearted, doesn't attempt to be more than it is and entertains.

The funniest thing about it is that the actors playing in it almost do a better job playing Edward, Bella and Jacob than the original cast do. The movie doesn't suffer from attempts at poking fun of 10-15 different movies at once and maybe thats why it works this once.

They just focus on just making fun of two movies in the Twilight series and I think they did a pretty damn good job of it. I hate to say..I really do..but I might just go see this movie a second time. It's honest to god that funny.

Dirty Sexy Money (2007–2009)
10/10
A fascinating, funny and intriguing look at life from the top
9 December 2007
I starting watching this show with the expectation that it would be driven only by it's star power and would leave little to the mind, however, that said - Dirty, Sexy, Money far exceeded my expectations. It is an intriguing drama with plots than only become more interesting at the season progresses. The Darling's are not a 1-Dimensional family - we get a balanced view of each family member's bizarre, twisted and occasionally desirable life styles with a plot that only becomes darker as the weaves of truth and deception spin their way onto our TV sets. Out of the many new shows that were aired this year, DSM is certainly one I would place up in the top 3. My final word? - this is definitely a show you want on your TiVo.
