The Bourne Ultimatum…Yowza, Yowza, YOWZAAAA!!

( Movies )

It’s been a while I understand and I have neglected my duties as a blogger, but here I am, fresh from (boot) camp and ready to RUMBLE!!!!! To start things off I went to see THe Bourne Ultimatum last night. Now I am not a big fan of Matt Daaamon (Team America stylee) […]

Rant of the Week: Horror Porn

( Movies )

Ok, so is it just me, or are there a ridiculous number of films coming out in the new and horrendous ‘Horror Porn’ genre? It all started with SAW, which had some gorey moments but on the whole sucked, then came the remake of ‘The Hills Have Eyes’ which due to the utter degradation […]

Movies, movies, movies

( Movies )

Actually haven’t seen very much recently, but what I have, I’ve enjoyed….ok that’s not strictly true as The Painted Veil, starring Ed Norton and Naomi Watts was a very tired picture. It was recommended for those who saw The English Patient, a movie which I regarded with snoring and stabbing out of eyes, but […]

Curse of the Golden Flower….definitely a curse for all watching it!

( Movies )

Sooooo, went to see Curse of the Golden Flower, directed by Yimou Zhang who is most known for Hero and Raise the Red Lanterns. As always I had high hopes, high hopes for stunning cinematography, spectacular martial arts moments and a good solid plot line……ohhhh how let down I was. It was nowhere […]

300

( Movies )

Well finally got to see 300 and yowza, it was everything Guy Incognito described and then some!!! It was an utter porn fest for both men and women, but especially women. Naked Spartans everywhere looking naked and buff…..it was like looking at a 300 strong troop of Chippendales! Outstanding!
Altogether this is a […]

Day Watch

( Movies )

To my surpise today I found out that a sequel to the glorious Night Watch will be released if the third in the trilogy (Twilight Watch or Final Watch as it is known in Russia) is successful in it’s home country of CCCR.
I also found out that they are originally novels by the Russian author […]

Amazing Grace….not really a must see film

( Movies )

Amazing Grace.  I felt that this was not the best title to lure non-Christians into the cinema in order to watch the historical battle by William Wilberforce to abolish the slave trade in 1833 (a good 15 years after the bill was put to parliament).  And I was right.  My friend (who is also a Christian) […]

Movies…..as per usual

( Movies )

Managed to squeeze in a couple of movies over the last fine weekend.  Saw ‘Becoming Jane’ and ‘Ghost Rider’.
I have to say that i had my doubts about Becoming Jane, especially since Anne Hathaway was starring as Jane Austen.  She started out in Disney films (hssssssss!) so as usual, I have no respect for anyone […]

School for Scoundrels

( Movies )

Went to see School for Scoundrels on saturday night as the fall back movie, cause you’ve always gotta have one.  Actually wanted to see The Science of Sleep but it was sold out oddly enough.  However, School for Scoundrels (which is a truly crap title and the film shouldn’t be judged on) was absolutely hilarious from start […]

Pan’s Labyrinth and The Prestige

( Movies )

Sooooo, decided to come out of my hermits cave to do a little review of both Pan’s Labyrinth and The Prestige, which I saw on the same night. Heavy evening I hear you cry! Why, no not really, but due to the silliness and not very convincing or otherwise pluasible story line of […]
