I’ve got a late flight home, which always presents a bit of a problem as the hotel checkout means you are hanging around with no base for most of the day. As a result I decided to go to see Cowboys & Aliens. Let me start by saying I got 1.5 hours of sleep last [...]
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is AWESOME! Love it, love it, love it! Don’t go expecting an all out action film, because it isn’t one. The trailers would have you believe it’s a constant stream of apes going … ape. For the most part it’s relatively even paced, but in a good way. [...]
I can see Super 8 getting really mixed reviews because it feels a little like The Goonies meet Cloverfield. Personally, I liked it and could see past the odd cheesy bits, but I can also see why some would think it falls short. There is a very E.T. childlike feel to the film, which is hardly surprising [...]
I went to see Captain America: The First Avenger at the weekend. It’s kinda odd because there are lots of elements that make me think I should like this film, but I found it all a little dull. I actually found myself saying “Meh” as I stood up at the end of the film. That’s [...]
Transformers: Dark of the Moon rocks! The previous two films were good, although the second didn’t even prompt a review from me. The first few minutes did not bode well. I dislike those child-friendly stupid little robots. Think Ewoks and Jar Jar Binks. Maybe that lowered my expectations sufficiently to make me enjoy the rest [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll no doubt say it again, but the mark of a good superhero film is you should be watching it thinking, “I wish I was <insert superhero name here>!”. As a fat 41 year old man, that is exactly what I was thinking whilst watching Green Lantern. If Iron Man is [...]
I started to write a quick review of the latest X-Men film and I realized I hadn’t written anything about that pirate film, so here goes a double whammy… Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides – This is just more of the same as far as I’m concerned. Some of the cast are back. [...]
Went to see Priest last night. It was only on in 3D at the cinema I went to. As usual, the 3D is pretty crappy and doesn’t add to the film at all. I’ve seen films that were shot in 3D (like Avatar) and those that were made 3D in post production (like Clash of [...]
Just got back from watching Thor. It’s very cool! I heard some reviews saying it was crap. I guess they must have seen a different film to me. Tomorrow I’m off to the gym to do some weights, then I’ll drop by the DIY store to buy the heaviest mallet they’ve got… Cheers Tim…
It was only as I started to write this post about Fast & Furious 5: Rio Heist that I realised I’ve not seen the 4th film yet. I’m sure it’s not much different to all the others. This one has most of the old gang back together to drive around really fast and do lots of [...]
