The Dictator review

File:The Dictator Poster.jpg



Having heard so much about Bruno and Borat from my friends I knew that I had to go and see The Dictator to get a taste of Sacha Baren Cohen's types of films.


The Dictator is about Admiral General Hafez Aladeen who is the dictator of the Republic of Wadiya which is set in North Africa. The film tells the story of Aladeen's reign and the mischief that he gets up to during his reign over Wadiya. One of these problems then becomes is that Aladeen is building nuclear weapons in Wadiya and because of this he has to travel to America to address the United Natoins security council.

As events unfold in America Aladeen finds himself having to do many things that he would not normally do which makes for some hilarious moments throughout the film which you will remember long after seeing the film.

With many hilarious moments in the film I would give this a 5/5 and a must see for comedy fans.

I have been strudders and I hope you have found this review useful and I hope to update you with media news and reviews soon.

Dark Shadows review







With Dark Shadows having a very strong cast of Johhny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Green and Helena Bonham Carter it gives you high expectations and i'm glad to say it doesn't disappoint.


The film tells the story of a vampire called Barnabas Collins played by Johnny Depp who has been freed from being trapped in a coffin for two hundred years and of his return to his ancestral home to find his relatives living in the 1970's. However Collins doesn't realise how much time has gone by since he has been trapped in the coffin which therefore leads to a few problems with his judgement of situations. 
With a few twists and turns in the plot along the way Collinns suddenly finds himself having to do whatever he can to protect his secret of being a vampire and to protect his ancestors business from an arch enemy of his.    


Dark Shadow's is a parody if all of the famous and popular horror and vampire films and this adds to the comedy of the already quite funny situations and comments made. 


I would give Dark Shadows 4/5 and a must see for any horror or vampire fans.
