That’s the result of a new shock horror report just out. (That’s a phrase my Dad will smile at and probably no one else.) It claims that there are more and more corpses being shown on US TV, in fact it’s doubled on last year. That’ll probably because the US … [Read More]
Oh good grief! It looks like Rush Hour 3 is indeed going to be heading into production after all… and I’m glad about that… but at what price??? As we’ve talked about a lot here on The Movie Blog, Chris Tucker (moron) has been holding things up with totally stupid … [Read More]
The new Happy Feet trailer is playing in front of Harry Potter at the moment… and I’ve got to tell you it had me grinning like an idiot the entire time it was playing. I had heard about this project about 6 months ago but haven’t hear anything about it … [Read More]
I thought White Noise was a pretty decent movie. Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination, but it was nice to see Michael Keaton is that kind of a role. It didn’t make a ton of money (about $91 million worldwide) but it was more than enough to … [Read More]
You know we’ve been talking about remakes, sequels, prequels and re-visualisations for sometime now, and the general view is that it’s a lazy practice resulting in some really poor and often totally crappy movies. Yet we’re not giving a lot of credit here, because look at Batman Begins, Harry Potter, … [Read More]
David Bowie is being rumoured to be in talks to appear in a thriller called The Prestige alongside such actors as Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine according to Yahoo news via Reuters. Now let those names sink in for a moment, and I’ll pass the positive comment that … [Read More]
Title=Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Score=8.5
Summary=This is the first Harry Potter film that I can say I walked out of thoroughly impressed. This is a WONDERFUL film. It’s not perfect, and there is still room for improvement, but you will have a great time watching it. I’m happy to recommend it.
Title=Where the Truth Lies
Score=8
Summary=Superb performances from Kevin Bacon and especially Colin Firth. A good story, balanced away from a climactic ending, the enjoyment of this movie is in the performances of the actors and the understanding of the characters and their relationships. Amazing production design. Well worth watching.
Title=Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Score=9
Summary=Superbly written movie with Kilmer firing out a fantastic performance, even outshining Downey who is excellent, Kilmer’s lines are fantastic. The use of narration is innovative and very engaging. An excellent movie that warrants a couple of viewings. Slight difficulty in hearing lines and following action early on, but it doesn’t taint the movie and makes you feel like revisiting it.
A couple of updates in the world of the DVD format war between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD today, nothing exceptionally major, but some interesting developments for those of you following this and not just already agreed that Blu-Ray have clinched it. From Kung Fu Cult Cinema they have the news that … [Read More]
A Teacher in the US has been sacked for showing his English class the movie Elizabeth. Although the more sensible UK have the movie rated at a mere 15, the US have it classed as an R rated movie. That means the movie should have been shown to his class … [Read More]
This list of the proposed cast of the new Tekken movie seems to be conjecture, although how much we won’t know until final casting, but I thought you would like to see it and start off some discussion. Strangely there’s not a mention of Jet Li as much rumour has … [Read More]
