Are you wearing your iPad?

I woke early. Naturally I had to check out the iNews before leaving and immediately went to the Apple store. The Australian version presented me with no change at all but the American had all its links leading to the iPad splash page which was a bit annoying. Watching the [...]

RC is not a hobby in Australia

I recently read a nice analogy for Australia’s game classification board:
Australia’s R18+ debate is a lot like NASCAR: it has just been going round and round in circles without a whole lot happening. Every now and again there is a collision when a controversial game looses traction as it rounds [...]

Amparose is go!

I’m pleased to say that amparose.com has finally arrived as more than just a single page. The proverbial carpenter has outfitted himself with palatial surroundings.
Still a few things that need some work / fixing but it will all fall into place quickly so please pop back in and see what [...]

Max Payne: The fall of Max Payne

Initial rant
There’s something about videogame movies.  They never turn out too good.  In my opinion, there are two major reasons for this.
Hollywood doesn’t trust the original story.  This seems strange to me, as the good games all have good stories, which the fans love.  The movie-making industry however seems to [...]

Harold & Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay

Who the f*&k spewed this thing onto film? I’m so unimpressed with this sequel that I’m not going to spend more than a few sentences telling you what I think. I think that “bong bash with the president” pretty much sums it up. There were plenty of [...]

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army

What the hellboy? Hmm.
When a movie opens with a bedtime story about how someone can challenge the ruler of the Empire for control of the Golden Army, you know exactly how that movie is going to end.
When a movie opens with a bedtime story that is eerily similar to that told [...]

Movie: Taken

So for me it took a while to write this review as I had to have some time to become more objective. This movie was the realisation of a fantasy that I had while watching a documentary on human trafficking a couple of years back – made me really really [...]

THE X-FILES: I Want to Believe

Let me just say that I love the X-Files.  I had the pleasure of going through high school in the mid-late 90s, and growing up with the X-Files hype.  Damn, I love that show.  David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson WERE Mulder and Scully, and it was a shining example of [...]

The Dark Knight

Holy frijole, Batman!
First things first.  I have not written a film review since Phil and I were in Grade 11 English class, tasked with reviewing “The Negotiator”.  I got a decent mark on that one, so I feel at least somewhat justified in posting my opinions online.
Second, I felt The [...]
