Fantastic Four - Rise of the Silver Surfer
Mr Fantastic, The Invisable Woman, The Thing, The Human Torch,
That well known team, only sidelined by Mr T and the rest of the A-Team.
They have had their own film before. And boy was it average. Although this time, they are given the helping silver hand of the silver surfer. Marvel’s coolest character ever? Possibly.
As with my earlier review of Spiderman, it goes without saying that the special effects in this are breath-taking. I am positive any film from now on with a marvel name can expect this kind of treatment. So go get yourself a high def TV, a blu-ray player and a copy of this. Who cares if its worth the money, it will physically rattle your senses… Read more
You Kill Me
John Dahl’s latest crime / comedy produced by the IFC is a big hit with us. What a fantastic lineup: Ben Kingsley, Téa Leoni, Luke Wilson, Dennis Farina… The list is endless. The producers really hit the nail on the head with this cast, absolutely tremendous.
The plot is simple, an alcoholic hit man (Kingsley) botches a job due to his alcoholism, Is sent to San Fran to clean up his act and get into a program. Even telling some co-workers about the premise of the movie cracked a laugh. Its a very whitey movie, sometimes a little slow but definitely worth a watch…. Read more
Spiderman 3
Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can, or does he?
With this week comes the release of that Hollywood favourite Spiderman 3! This year’s huge blockbuster that knocked everything for six this summer, but was all the hype worth it? (And should you invest in a black Spiderman costume for Halloween?)
Well one thing’s for sure, you can fling on your spidey jammy’s once more kiddies, Spidey is back and he doesn’t suck (he bites)
So how much better is this movie than the last? Considerably. Spiderman 2 was quite simply the original film with a different bad guy. An octopus instead of a goblin. Spiderman 3 however actually begins to introduce new storylines, yes you will still see him hanging off that US flag for hours on end (oh the patriot!) but this film really brings new directions to the movie franchise… Read more
Shooter
Mark Wahlberg stars in this edge of your seat action thriller. A marksman (Wahlberg) living in exile is talked back into the military after learning of a plot to kill the president. Ultimately double-crossed and framed for the attempt, he goes on the run to track the real killer and find out who exactly set him up, and why.
Wahlberg did an excellent job in this none stop roller coaster action movie and is truly beginning to shine. I really love movies that portray a government as an evil entity as most of the time, this is completely true. As the story unravels, we’re introduced to the bad guys who we love to hate, but doesn’t Danny Glover look really old? Read more
Primer
We thought it was about time to review some classics, and what better way to kick this off than to review one of the best independent films ever made - Primer. This movie is ingenious, It won so many indy awards and rightfully so. Definitley in my top 10 of all time.
While conducting experiments in a garage, Two brilliant engineers who lead double lives accidentally discover that there latest project allows them to travel back in time. Each mans curiosity leads to experiments without the other’s knowledge, some with serious consequences. (from the DVD cover) This is the most thought provoking, intelligent film I have ever seen… Read more
Blood Diamond
Leonardo DiCaprio truly became Danny Archer in this jaw dropping, I can’t believe that just happened film. His character is incredibly versatile. He spoke in several different accents and dialects as he went from one situation to the next and made each shine true. After a few minutes I can honestly say I forgot he was the star that he is and saw him as the character he played, an African man. I have to give him a 10/10 on this one and I am not his biggest fan by any means. Read more
