Lifestream: A great many anticipated movies in the cinema. But with everything that is going on, I cant stomach supporting the industry any longer.
I needed to complete my essential Miyazaki collection and since I couldn’t find what I wanted on P2P (except for Totoro) I had to make one last order. I also decided to get the director’s cut of Fearless.
Ironically, Howl’s Moving castle was suddenly on backorder and it ended up being canceled. So […]
I had a chance to see Jet Li’s latest martial arts epic Fearless (Huo Yuan Jia) the other day and felt that it warranted some sort of commentary. Especially since I was going on about unsung movies of 2006 the other day. Now, obviously the premiered a year ago in China and has raked in […]
Idiocracy could very well be the best movie you didn’t see in 2006. A somewhat dull plot, I will admit, engineered to carry searing and amazingly pertinent criticism of contemporary life in the United States. A seriously undermarketed movie that is recommended for everyone that wants a dystopic glimpse of a future built entirely on […]
What a fantastic disappointment that turned out to be.
And here I was, thinking Eragon would be the beacon of light in a miserable season completely devoid of intelligent life in the cinema. About the only good news is that Eragon makes last year’s Narnia seem like less of an embarrassment. And it does have Jeremy […]
I saw “Borat” (Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan) the other day and since everyone seems to be lauding the movie I must offer a few sentences in protest. Having seen very little of Cohen’s previous work and nothing specifically of his “Borat” character I fell for the hype. And […]
I was finally able to pick up a dual-audio / subbed version of Advent Children the other day. Bottom line: What a letdown. So I’m not into the FF mythology, but still, that was one long, boring and inconsistent movie that, unlike say Spirits Within catered to children. I thought Spirits Within was cliché at […]
Suffice it to say the best movie so far this year. Probably in a long time. I can’t remember when I last saw a movie that actually touched me the way Vendetta did. Some have complained about what they saw as heavy-handed references to the “war on terror” (which these reviewers have no doubt bought […]
As pretty much the last person in the world to pick up “Firefly” and the recent follow-up movie “Serenity” I still have to offer some sort of commentary. Mostly so because I did bash the series, having only seen a mangled TV-RIP of the pilot way back in 2003. When I actually sat down with […]
I was just watching episodes from the last pitiful season of the sci-fi series Andromeda and wondering if I could get all that time back. You kind of hang on, just thinking it will pick up. Just one more episode. It’s bound to pick up. But alas it never did. Amazing really that this sort […]
Sure enough. Another hatchet job by Disney. Or is it just that I was so thrown back by the fact that it is after all a kiddie movie. Or perhaps having to share the cinema with hordes of snivelling and popcorn-munching children.
Amazing special effects. Yet a wardrobe from the local seamstress or something. I did […]
