The first thing that came to mind after watching Real Steel was the film Over the Top followed of course by the original Rocky. Pretty ironic that Sylvester Stallone starred in both films, but who can blame me right? I’m a huge fan of both movies and in my video library both rank right up there in the upper echelon of story lines that depict an underdog against all odds.

I’ll easily admit that the plot was absolutely predictable, but I really enjoyed the overall feel of the movie. There was just the right amount of action and drama in this film, and I was at the edge of my seat each and every time “ATOM” stepped in that ring. Definitely a perfect feel good film that the whole family will enjoy. Screw the critics, watch this film and be the judge yourself!

The trailer looks amazing. I cant wait until this is released next year! Love it!

American Horror Story (FX)

American Horror Story is perhaps one of the most disturbing and creepy television shows I’ve seen in awhile. The unexpected plot twists and “WTF” moments definitely keep you on the edge of you seat and wanting to know more. Every character has a different story to tell, and the relationships between each one of them keep the audience interested and engaged as the series moves forward.

As the season has progressed however, I have noticed that it is slowly losing it edge. I don’t know why exactly, but the plot and story line have seemed to become more predictable, and the “shock” factor is not anywhere near the same as it was earlier in the season. Perhaps they are already running out of ideas. Despite its flaws, the series has hooked me deep enough to see this season to its conclusion. I am truly hoping for as strong finish because it definitely has the potential to be great.

American Horror Story follows the Harmon family, a family of three who have moved from Boston to LA for a fresh start but end up living in a sinister haunted house instead. From producers Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk comes the intriguing, erotic and scary story of life within the haunted house.
