50 Words or Less #1

I've decided to start trying to put up some power reviews for movies I haven't really seen in a while, but would like to review! 50 Words or Less! If you loved any of these movies and want to write a full review on it, let me know and we will post it up!


Brothers Bloom – interesting story, great cast, good humour, but it was poorly executed and dragged on for too long. Near the end, wasn’t sure where they were taking the story, just got too confusing, but it was a nice and fun attempt.





Coraline – brilliant, not necessarily a kids movie. Beautiful stop animation, excellent voice acting, one of the only movies that may actually be a better movie than book (and I am a HUGE Neil Gaiman fan!). Well worth the buy and well worth more than one watch.




Sherlock Holmes – great story, excellent casting, great action (loved how they used slow motion to plan Sherlock’s moves and then sped it up in reality). Fairly true to original Sherlock, just slightly modernized. Enjoy the eccentric drunk aspect of Holmes and Watson’s general portrayal.




This concludes our very first 50 Words or Less reviews! Again, if you want to write a full review of ANY of these movies, send us an email, write us a comment below or just write your review and send it to us so we can post it up!

  1. Brothers Bloom is very good!
    But you do have to pay attention or you'll get lost.

  2. I agree with you. The Brothers Bloom was def confusing. I was so lost by the time the credits rolled. And I really loved Coraline. My only problem was how the beginning dragged on. It wasn't too bad, just slightly annoying. Didn't take away from the fact that it was an awesome movie though. And I haven't seen Sherlock Holmes yet. I was a little worried that it would just butcher the original Sherlock. Maybe I'll have to look into it.

  3. Brothers Bloom had so much potential and then it was just wasted! Such a shame!

    Coraline was so brilliant, like I said, I am a big Neil Gaiman fan and I love Coraline the book, so for me to love the movie as much as I did, and to go as far to say that it was better than the book... is a lot for me! :)

    I ws definitely worried when Dakota Fanning was set to voice Coraline, but it turned out much better than I anticipated!

    Also... you should for SURE watch Sherlock... it's a lot of fun! Just go into it open minded!
