Never once managed to watch this movie to the end. That's what happens when you have to drink everytime you hear "me pot o' gold" Don't watch unless you're irish.

As someone who grew up reading the Harry Potter books from Day 1 and playing the games back on the PS1, I was very intrigued when this game was released. After playing it, I can honestly say that the game is excellent in many ways and not so great in others. The positives have been mentioned by other reviewers and truthfully, the game is alot of fun and has many in depth easter eggs that were left out of the movies. While it was an excellent ride, it also felt far too linear at times. The main issues lie with the NPCs and how they interact with the character you play. The voice acting was atrocious at times and while there were some entertaining animations while exploring Hogwarts and its surroundings, there is no reaction from the NPCs unless you have to engage to start a quest and this feels pretty hollow at times considering the excellent work done on the scenery and gameplay. You'd think a student would run away had you cast incendio in their vicinity but you get zero interaction except for a adjacent voice which says "stop that" or something minimal like that. I know they want to avoid turning it into a GTA clone but there could also be a wanted level involving the Ministry of Magic. The school was also far too leniant regarding nightwalking. This leads on to my next issue, even though the environments looked amazing, the NPCs were actually a bit generic looking and poorly rendered. At times, you couldn't even make out faces but you could see the wall paintings very clearly. Next, there are so many pointless interactions in this game. The speech choices have the illusion of a karma meter but have no effect whatsoever on the game and just become tedious after a while. There could also be some additional easter eggs such as wizard newspapers with headlines explaining the current in-game world events. The lack of quidditch was also a bit disappointing but I guess the standalone game was the result there... I cant give ot a perfect score because it is far from it but I still give it a solid 7/10 as it is an excellent introduction to a game series but I hope the next installment improves on these features for an even better experience by not repeating the same mistakes.

As far as found footage films go, As above So below ranks among one of the top. Based in the Parisian Catacombs, this movie already has the perfect setting for an eery and (at times) claustrophobic atmosphere. Think grave encounters but throw a bit of Tomb raider into the mix and bobs your uncle, you've got yourself a unique and entertaining horror without being too serious. It's not perfect because it gets very creative with the supernature and also ramps up the pace pretty quickly so really goes all out when it goes all out but overall is a very enjoyable romp if you're up for it. 100% recommended.

[Potential Spoiler Alert] Parodying Fright Night and including throwbacks to Blacula, it's pretty much what you expect from a parody black comedy horror movie with Katt Williams in a starring role as a vampire pimp. What more do you want? Take what you want away from it. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and recommend it to any open minded viewer. Sure, it's not perfect but it has it's charm which makes entertaining viewing and doesn't compare to the low reviews others have posted before. Although some jokes missed the mark, it still had me in stitches several times throughout and in my opinion, was better than the first one with further welcome cameos & recurring characters throughout. If you don't take your comedy too seriously, it is well worth watching for a laugh but be sure to remember... "Global warming is real".

To start off, this movie had several flaws including a butchered origin story for the Redfields. The acting was also very wooden & mediocre at best. The casting was also very poorly chosen and the characters were all done dirty. For example, fan favourite Leon Kennedy is portrayed as a clumsy, skinny, black haired, hispanic screw-up, basically changing the character completely. The first third of the movie was just not very good but as the story progressed, it became closer to Resident Evil as we know it. Aesthetically, it was excellent with the set designs staying very true to the game and the CGI also very well executed. On the flipside, the zombies faces just looked like a cheap Halloween mask. Mixing both RE1 & RE2, the movie had several Easter eggs and scenes which were transferred directly from both games. While this regained the nostalgia that was craved, it also failed at portraying the horror that was needed. All in all, I give this a 4.5/10 at best. It wasn't awful after the first half but left me with a bitter aftertaste due to the artistic license taken around the characters, back stories and execution. The casting was lazy, the acting was wooden and the plot was rushed but it was saved from damnation by the Aesthetics. It wasn't subtle about the easter eggs either and were included as if someone had literally watched a highlights reel with the best scenes from the games and chosen them to attract the fans. Everything around this was very poor and disappointing. It was still closer to the games than the Wes Anderson movies.

A very entertaining watch with excellent actors. So if it's not 100% scientifically accurate so what? Don't know why people are slating this with a one star. Seems a bit overly critical.

Excellent for fans of seth macfarlane and his humour. Ted combines all the comedy of his animated series with the Ted Movies lore and is the closest we've got to a live action family guy. Each episode is 30-50 minutes long and has plenty of laughs throughout. It's lighthearted, pop-culture filled, tongue in cheek humor makes welcome viewing and had me laughing out loud. If people didn't like it then it's not for them. Enjoy it as you will. In my opinion, it was excellent and I hope this carries on for several seasons.

Girl on the third floor is a prime example of the saying "what the literal f### did I just watch?" Wasn't scary, wasn't clever and didn't really have an ending. The music had no place in the movie except giving it as much context as a rebellious media students iPod. Would I recommend this movie...? No. Not particularly.
