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 [...]
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 hot and bothered [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
another filthy assault on my childhood Firstly, what a stupid title. Sounds like a kiddie computer game you’d find neglected in the bargain bin. I had hopes for this film, hopes and dreams that were unashamedly crushed when… WARNING: spoilers follow (aside from the movie itself) … what I had [...]
more than blood: misanthropy, maulings, oil, greed, insanity… Hey look it’s that Last of the Mohican’s guy and he rocks in this sumptuous slice of human self-induced misery. What this isn’t is a feel-good flick, what it is is a magnificently disturbing set of events that leave you gratified, miserable, [...]
Waaaaaaag! War porn! Gear-up, bring popcorn and cackle away in a desensitised fashion (to the shocked looks of some) as characters get vaporised into puddles of blood. This movie succeeds where Rocky vs Balboa fails – it’s entertaining, less crap, and one can understand what Stalone says (though he doesn’t [...]
