Tyroga – A Human Equivalent

The Day the Earth Stood Still is another remake of a movie, but updated with new themes taken from our present-day woes. The original made in 1951 was all about war and how we would be destroyed as a people for our violent and confrontational ways. In the remake we are scourge of the planet, [...]

I’ve put off seeing Stardust, not sure why, perhaps because in recent years we have been inundated with fantasy films and I wasn’t quite ready for another. Today, a public holiday, is all rainy outside so I decided to put it on and have a look. At first I was a little upset, it seems [...]

Finally last night we got to get over to Crown for the cheap Tuesday to see Iron Man. It was amazing, by far the best comic-based movie I’ve seen. The graphics were amazing, the storyline was fairly solid, there was no awkward moment where you thought, what were the hell were they thinking, which is [...]

From the guys that brought you Loose Change 911, the story of 9/11, comes Zeitgeist a look at the mass destruction of life as we know it, quietly and controlled and all with our permission. Zeitgeist looks at the farce this is organised religion and pays particular attention the the story of Jesus and its [...]

Any film starring Sandra Bullock is usually a good bet for a good film, except Miss Congeniality 2: Armed & Fabulous, but for the most part I like Sandra’s films. Premonition is a good fil, but not a great one. When I noticed that Julian McMahon was in this movie too I was a little [...]

I like to think I’m not shallow, that I don’t judge a book by its cover, but I guess I do. And if anything has proven me wrong, it’s Juno. I must have watched the trailer for Juno five or six times and never been enticed to see it. Why did I watch the trailer [...]

By my reckoning this movie went straight to DVD and just from the opening before the credits I can see why. The movie is bad… the acting is bad, and the storyline, what I can make of it just 15 minutes in is really bad. The Director or the Director of Photography,  or the editor [...]

A movie starring Ryan Reynolds is always going to get my attention. When that movie is unavailable through conventional means of course I’m going to download it. The Nines is one of those movies. Released in 2007 and co-starring Melissa McCarthy (of Gilmore Girls fame) and Hope Davis The Nines starts off with Reynolds as [...]

Yet another movie made retelling an old tale with a modern-day spin. Nicole Kidman plays a Psychiatrist in this tension filled sci-fi adventure movie. Nicole is a good actor, her role of Satine in Moulan Rouge was flawless. But an action hero she is not. There was of course one moment when she shot her [...]

Last night we went with Nikki and Ben to Gold Class at Crown to see Enchanted. A fun enough movie, Enchanted failed to really pull the viewer in. Some of the scenes were quite funny, some of them came off as just a little bit silly. With a blend of drawing animation, computer animation and [...]
