Valkyrie

I'm not always one for movies set in the past, but Valkyrie [http://valkyrie.unitedartists.com/] caught my attention the moment I saw the trailer and I can always do with some cloak and dagger. Having seen a few movies based on World War II [http://en.wikipedia.

Restaurants

Roosters don't have large chips

After Leaving Steers unsatisfied, Amelia and I decided to go and give Roosters a try, as Dereck [http://dereckbester.co.za/] told me that they have got a cool, burger deal as well. We ordered one special and a large chips. The attendant then informed us that they didn'

Steers still not meeting the mark

Amelia and I, the forgiving people that we are, decided to give Steers another chance and headed straight there after work. We ordered a Wacky Wednesday special, to bide us over until supper, but were sadly disappointed. My Burger was lukewarm when it got to me and Amelia's

Restaurants

McDonalds setting the trend

McDonalds [http://www.mcdonalds.co.za/] is now open 24hours a day. The only thing that would make this better, is if you could sit down as well as drive through. Amelia and I wanted a snack so off to McDonalds [http://www.mcdonalds.co.za/] for 2 McFeast Deluxe

Hancock

Saturday means Scooters Pizza and Movie Special, so Amelia and I decided to take out Hancock [http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/hancock/]. The Trailer looked cool, so we figured it'd be well worth watching. The movie was fun and had some good special effects. The movie takes a

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

After watching the first one, Amelia and I couldn't wait for our chance to catch this one on the big screen. What an exciting and fun to watch movie, I'm almost speechless. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, kept us holding on to our seats from the

Seven Pounds

After seeing Will Smith [http://www.willsmith.com/]'s interview on Oprah [http://www.oprah.com/slideshow/oprahshow/20081106_tows_willsmith] and hearing them rave about the movie, Amelia simply couldn't wait to see what they were all on about. We looked for it in video stores

Transformers

With the release of, Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen, I wanted to watch the first one, before watching the sequel. The action doesn't seem to stop from the moment the movie starts. The movie is exciting and fun and definitely worth seeing if you haven't

Deception

From seeing the trailer, we were interested in watching this movie and expected some good twists and turns, but were irritatedly disappointed. The concept of "the list" was a bit ridiculous, yet quite believable at the same time. In today's age of long work days and

Movies

Max Payne

Looking at the cover of Max Payne [http://www.maxpaynethemovie.com/] or watching the trailer for that matter, one gets the impression of being taken on a thrilling, super natural ride, with demons, monsters and some real mean stuff. I'm almost sorry to say that Max Payne [http:

Mad Money

Aren't we all mad about money, or at least what we can do with it. Mad Money demonstrates, how ridiculous some people's perspective of the real world is and what they think it takes to get a job and keep it. The movie depicts how high

Proof of Life

I must say this is not the first time that we've watched Proof of Life [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_Life], we actually took it out by accident, not knowing that we had seen it on TV a few times already. Proof of Life [http://en.

X-Men Origins | Wolverine

Whether you're an X-Men fan or not, this movie will turn you into a follower. There's no need to watch any of the previous movies in the series, as this one gives you a good background on, as aptly put in the name, the "Origins&

Life Aquatic

We started watching this movie more than once, and today we brought ourselves to watch it to the end. We were so upset with ourselves for wasting our time. This movie is, boring, stupid and has absolutely no story line or point what so ever. With a cast of well

Angels and Demons

Amelia and I both enjoyed Da Vinci Code and were looking forward to Angels and Demons the moment we knew it was coming out. The film was great, it had us riveted to our seats and was full of twists. This was definitely not predictable or boring. The film was

Fast & Furious - New Model. Original Parts.

Went to grab a half price movie, straight after work, not sure what we'd be watching. Got to the cinema in time to catch Fast & Furious 4, what a good movie. It's awesome to go to watch a movie and actually enjoy it all the

27 Dresses

Well, we've considered this one a few times and it's title is about clothes so Amelia was keen to have a look see what it had to offer on this boring Monday... 27 Dresses is supposed to be a romantic comedy, that almost met the benchmark.

I think I Love My Wife

While I am not always in the mood for comedy this one was quite good. Although this is essentially a comedy it was written with serious undertones, and frankly left Amelia upset. Definitely full of humour a man can enjoy.

Election Coffee @ Wimpy

After Voting, Amelia and I went for our "Voters Coffee" at Wimpy. On arrival we were to our surprise promptly asked if we had voted and then offered a complimentary cup of coffee, which we gladly accepted. The coffee didn't take long, but was lukewarm when

Rise - Blood Hunter

Amelia and I have looked at the cover, a few times but never got to the point of taking it out. This weekend, we were not sure what we wanted so we took it out. Rise was not particularly exciting or nerve wrecking, if you are in to gore this

Steers staff are asleep

Amelia and I decided, as we so often do, that we wanted to eat something after work. For a change we chose to try out Steers for their Wacky Wednesday promotion... The burgers are not particularly small and don't taste crap, but they're definitely not served
