Have you ever watched a film that made you say, “Why didn’t I find out about this sooner?” The Thief and the Cobbler made me say that. Envisioned by Richard Williams in 1968, the film is about a kingdom besieged by a scheming Grand Vizier and a destructive army from a foreign land, and the [...]

Hellboy II: The Golden Army
October 22nd, 2008 · Movies
Hellboy II was fantasy done right. At least, visually. It’s unmistakable Guillermo del Toro: the cinematography has lots of dark browns and blues, and is filled with all manner of “the supernatural” and “monsters” and “faerie”. But probably the most striking thing is how the characters have that weirdly varied and vibrant feel that is [...]
Max Payne Movie Trailer

A friend showed this to me a few days ago. It totally beats the shorter, more official movie trailer that’s up on YouTube. Looks good so far.
Serious Review is so Serious!

Sorry, couldn’t help the title. In any case, prepare for a wall of text. What can I say about this movie? It rocked, obviously – $66.4 million dollars on its opening day, to be exact. But you know this already. I think that this is one of the best movies of all time, but only [...]

Filipino animators [...]
Why is Everybody Kung Fu Fighting…
June 17th, 2008 · Movies
Disclaimer: Some spoilers may be up ahead. The tagline said “Prepare for Awesomeness”. And yes, you had to be, because there was a smattering of awesome right there in the moviehouse. Kung Fu Panda is the latest feature film from DreamWorks Animation. The whole thing is being billed as an homage to actual kung fu [...]
Across the Universe
May 31st, 2008 · Movies, Music
I’ve just finished watching Across the Universe for the third time. Still a great movie. I found it great how they managed to make a semi-coherent story out of the words of the Beatles. They placed it against a socio-political backdrop, which serves to highlight this period piece as a story of a generation. At [...]
Iron Man was Fantastic.
May 8th, 2008 · Movies
Disclaimer: Some spoilers may be found in the post. Read at your own discretion. Also, Iron Man was fantastic. There, I said it. I thought the movie was great. Robert Downey Jr. shines as Tony Stark. I had my qualms about the casting of Mister Jr. for the lead role, but all those doubts are [...]
