film review: 2012 (2009)

No Comment

I haven’t actually seen many Roland Emmerich movies… well ok, looking through his IMDb I’ve seen Stargate, Independence Day and 10,000BC but I didn’t know he did Stargate so… anyway… The point is I haven’t seen The Day After Tomorrow. Though, I’ve seen bits of here and there and it looks an awful lot like […]

film review: The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (2009)

No Comment

Looking 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 […]

film review: Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)

4 Comments

This 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 […]

film review: Couples Retreat (2009)

I 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 […]

And, despite being at the theatre 20 mins before Zombieland was due to start, I still managed to miss the […]

film review: The September Issue (2009)

No Comment

Since this is a documentary as opposed to a feature film I thought I’d try to bash this review out quickly, no need to think about the characters or cinematography or anything… somehow I still managed to waffle on and on… oh well! Usually I don’t bother with much of a synopsis but I don’t […]

film review: Whiteout (2009)

No Comment

Tuesday night and myself and a friend thought we’d go to the cinema. We had been trying to go the The September Issue but it was on too late and the only thing that looked good that we hadn’t see was District 9… but I had promised a mate I would see that with them… […]

film review: (500) Days of Summer (2009)

No Comment

Saw this one courtesy of Phantom 105.2 Thanks guys! (500) Days of Summer is essentially a love story. I know it says it isn’t, but it is. It may be a quirky indie love story, but it’s still a love story. I wouldn’t let that put you off though; that is, if you are the […]
