The Dark Knight
Monday, September 1st, 2008Went to see The Dark Knight last Saturday – got back too late to want to go online and write this (very short) review. Enjoyed it. It was a bit long but I couldn’t see anywhere particularly to cut it without making it a poorer film. It also takes a brave script writer to keep […]
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Wow. How can you take a franchise as good as the resurected Mummy and pretty much destroy it in 112 minutes? Could it be the completely miss cast replacements? Maria Bello was no Rachel Weisz. Luke Ford just wasn’t interesting. Perhaps thats part of it too. I know Anthony Wong Chau-Sang, Michelle Yeoh, Jet Li […]
Review – Wanted
Friday, July 4th, 2008Short spoiler free review: only go and see this if you can live with an action picture entirely lacking a heart or soul which justifies its existance by lashing itself to a far too cool barrel before throwing itself into a river above a waterfall. Which isn’t a good thing TM. So I went to […]
In Bruges
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008In the way that dark chocolate became a lot darker a few years ago In Bruges takes dark comedy gangster films and makes them a lot darker. Its an action thriller with little action. An 18 film that definitly deserves its certificate without being gratuitous. A film which isn’t what you’d expect but certainly doesn’t […]

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008A quick python script for Vue 6 Infinite for a request at Renderosity to change all the preview colours of selected objects in one go. Mass Preview Colour Change Script
Sweeny Todd: Blood on Celluloid
Sunday, January 27th, 2008(Don’t worry about the banner above saying Christmas – the film company doesn’t seem to have thought about anywhere but USA) Just been to see Sweeny Todd at FACT in Liverpool. One of my favourite musicals – we staged it on when I was at school. Almost spoilt by the couple who needed to get […]
The Golden Compass
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007I’m not going to analyse this on in any great depth and having not read the book I can’t compare it to that. Enjoyable, well acted fun with good special effects. It suffered from a little bit too much of the coo look its X, oh look they’ve gone. Sometimes using a recognisable actor in […]
Joomla Day
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007Having previously looked at Mambo today I found myself looking at Joomla which is so similar it might almost be the same but somehow in the end tastes slightly different. I can think of only one word to describe the difference based on a very quick look at each – Joomla felt cleaner. Which has […]
The Bourne Ultimatum
Saturday, September 1st, 2007While I like a Bond film or a Die Hard 4.0 I prefer my spy films to be a little more believable, a bit more visceral more like Ronin or Iprcress Files. The first two Bourne films fell squarely in that camp. I saw The Bourne Ultimatum and it doesn’t wander from the path. Like […]
Even with the Rants I’m only rated G…
Monday, August 13th, 2007Yes it’s another pointless web thing but I’m wiped out for no readily apparent reason. I’ve just made two posts over on the Vue News blog. The rest of the evening was lost trying to find some CAD software that wasn’t going to break the bank but that did basic drawing in a way that […]
