And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. REVELATIONS 6:8 I was looking forward to The Road. As I mentioned in some previous posts, I’m all about post-apocalyse movies.
moreTwo movies going on general release this week that I think could be worth a watch. The first is Up in the Air and the second is The Book of Eli Up in the Air comes to us from Jason Reitman, director of Juno and Thank You for Smoking, and is based on the novel […]
moreApparently there have been many many many screen incarnations of Sherlock Holmes…. I haven’t seen any of them though. I actually know pretty much nothing about Sherlock Holmes beyond the fact that he’s a detective, he’s got a friend called Watson and he lives at 221B Baker’s Street. That last one was courtesy of a […]
moreThere is only one film worth seeing in the cinema this week. Avatar. Well, if we are to believe the hype anyway. Personally, I had been rather apprehensive about this whole Avatar business. I can’t remember the last time a film promised so much (well… maybe Snakes on a Plane but that was really a […]
moreWell technically Paranormal Activity came out in 2007 but it only got a cinema release in 2009, so (2009) it is. Not that it matters but anyway… better get on with this.

Though, I’ve seen bits of here and there and it looks an awful lot like […]
moreLooking over Terry Gilliam‘s filmography on IMDb, I notice that I’ve actually seen 9 of his 14 films… so you’d think I’d have an idea by now of what to expect. But the fact is that you just can’t know what to expect with him. Except that it’s going to be odd. The Imaginarium of […]
moreThis is one of those situations where I can’t really review this film as an average person. Fantastic Mr. Fox is Wes Anderson’s new film. I love Wes Anderson’s films. I can’t help it, there’s something about his films that just work for me. So I can only really review the film as a Wes […]
moreI tend to go into films with low expectations. I don’t like being disappointed so it’s easier to just not expect very much, that way there’s a better chance of being pleasantly surprised… With Couples Retreat I wasn’t pleasantly surprised. It was pretty much as I expected. A bit of seriousness, a bit of talking […]
moreThe plan, on heading to the cinema for the evening, had actually been to see Pandorum… however a scheduling miscalculation meant that I missed the 6.40pm start time so had to go to Zombieland instead. And, despite being at the theatre 20 mins before Zombieland was due to start, I still managed to miss the […]
