Title=The Island
Score=3
Summary=Great plot idea poorly executed in this mindless action movie. There are so many groaning and problematic scenes I really found it hard to enjoy. Coupled with a very poor DVD offering with hidden content that you may well miss, or not as the case may be.
I’ve just received my first M:I:III email from the The Ultimate Mission: M:i:III Scavenger Hunt. My first clue is coming… Your first clue will be released at 5PM PST on Monday February 6, 2005. In the coming days you will be able to conspire with agent cooperatives using the “CHAT” … [Read More]
To date I’ve found the trailer mashups (as they are being called, I much prefer the ‘vs’ tag of the music industry, however using that might get me a fine and twenty years imprisonment from one of the Studios), well I’ve found them funny, clever, but funny. Then along comes … [Read More]
Title=Sky Blue (Wonderful Days)
Score=6
Summary=Wonderful visuals with a superb DTS audio track, just let down by a weaker plot and unexplored characters. If you’re an anime fan though, check out those visuals, they are fantastic, especially the work to place and move the camera in scenes.
The original film Oldboy is superb, and gives you a real kick in the pants near the end, a surprise that Hollywood can barely bring themselves to consider never mind write, or so I thought. The Director of the remake Justin Lin has talked about his thoughts on the movie … [Read More]
This is a big surprise, but only if it’s true…and frankly the way it’s set out on the page it looks like just another big marketing ploy. However, over at a casting site there’s a message asking for actors for Fantastic Four 2, and the roles are big. Here’s the … [Read More]
Okay, well they have Bond, but no villain or leading lady, and yet they’re off filming in Prague right now. From the BBC: The film, starring new 007 Daniel Craig, started shooting in the Czech capital last week. But trade paper Hollywood Reporter said scenes involving Bond’s love interest would … [Read More]
There were rumours that Alex Proyas was set to film Iron Man, but now the rumour is that Nick Cassavetes (still showing on IMDB) is back on the lineup. Comments through Comic Book Movie suggest otherwise: Cassavettes told MTV he’s in pre-production on the film and that he plans to … [Read More]
I can’t help but think that Mr Raimi is sitting there laughing right now, as he sips a beer or a nice glass of wine (as I am, Casillero del Diablo Carménère 2003), I can’t help thinking that he’s surfing the web and laughing. Why? Well we’re all mad on … [Read More]
Sounds like he is saying no way from the quote he’s recently made about the possibility of a Goonies sequel movie, and the comments are sweet music to our ears. From IGN Film Force through Cinema Blend, is the quote itself: “We tried. No, I don’t think so. We tried … [Read More]
I know I’ve posted this before, but now it’s available in a few other nice formats and I’ve finally been able to see it. I like it when a concept of a movie sounds so poor and then a trailer turns your head around and makes you think there’s more … [Read More]
I love the movies which appear now and again with some bizarre and amazing casting in them, and The Air I Breathe is no different with a varied and extremely interesting cast covering a story based on a Chinese Proverb! Time Out showed the unusual story blurb… Based on a … [Read More]
