From the first day that I heard about the concept for “Kingdom of Heaven” I was really concerned that it would be some sort of flashpoint for Arab world/Christian world tensions. Heck, just look at what Alexander did to gay/non-gay tensions. However, I was was pleasantly surprised to see that … [Read More]
I watched Underworld again the other night on DVD. I wasn’t really thrilled with the movie the first time I saw it (you can see my old review here), but I seem to like it more and more each time I watch it. Strange how some movies can do that … [Read More]
Title=Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith
Score=7
Summary=I really enjoyed watching Revenge of the Sith. It is a strong film with a strong story, great effects and much improved dialog (with the exception of anything with Padmé in it). Star Wars fans should be quite happy… and non-Star Wars fans will enjoy as well.
I am really surprised by the review in Film Rotation of the new Daredevil Directors Cut DVD. Personally I thought the film stank from the opening scenes, one thing in particular sticks in my head, as Murdock walks into his flat, listens to his answerphone and his ex-girlfriend dumps him … [Read More]
John’s recent post on the best tips for a movie first date got me thinking, no, not in that way! First thought was that we should collate all the answers and build a nice little FAQ out of it, I can hear John already, “Cool. On you go then.”. That’s … [Read More]
You ever have a crush on a girl and you’re not sure why? She’s not all that attractive really… she’s not that smart… she has totally different tastes than you… but for some reasons you really dig her. Well, that sort of sums up my fandom of Rowan Atkinson. Despite … [Read More]
I still find it hard to understand why this movie is being made and how it got any backing, financially or credibility wise. Still, it is being made, and you could put the first down to money, and the second down to…well…money. Dallas the screenplay is well on its way … [Read More]
Thanks to JoBlo for directing me to the MTV special on the on set work for Underworld: Evolution where there are video clips and photos galore of the lovely Kate Beckinsale and the other actors involved…whoever they might be! I liked Underworld. Very stylish with a great story, and filmed … [Read More]
More news in the new format battle for the next generation of DVD (did anyone think I was going Star Trek there?) from WhatPC?. Sony have made a huge announcement and commitment to the Blu-ray system: Sony is making digital masters of all its films in high-definiton (HD) format so … [Read More]
Talking of Matt Damon and the Bourne movies, he’s signed up for the third, The Bourne Ultimatum. What I hope that doesn’t mean is that the camera will be even more shaky, even more closed in on the action and even more difficult to follow. See the thing I found … [Read More]
Wow, if only I had changed my entire career early on in my life and chosen to be a Graphic Artist, studied and learned, then moved into Graphic Novels, I would be applying for this. However, I took the route of Hygiene and now I’m a toilet cleaner Consultant. If … [Read More]
Now there’s something that just tickled my interest, the trailer for The Weather Man. It looked to me like it was travelling the road of mid-life crisis man tries to get back with his family, eerily reminiscent of The Family Man, also with Nicolas Cage. Then something happened, half way … [Read More]
