09 Dec 08 Crash

Crash, was a riot of plots and intertwined twists, never have i come across such  freak of the silver screen, hooraa to the writers, this would have had your pens in game of hide and go seek.

What starts as a simple and mindless beginning to what seems to be a family flick of cops and robbers ends up being racial battle and a gangland fueled mindtrip for only those who are worthy.

I had a brilliant time watching this one, i didn’t even need the popcorn, there was plenty of brain food and it didn’t stop coming, if you got a pinch in your nerve for a movie you can’t take your eyes off this will surprise you and excite you.

17 Oct 08 Wall-e

Take an animated journey into the future!

Well this is definately one for the kids, even big kids…  I had anticipated putting this one off, until a discussion at an office morning tea session, this flick was ‘trick’ 1000 times more interesting than Shrek
with a collosal of 3d visual aid and rendering effects for the eye to feast upon, besides being pretty cute
without the ‘hello kitty’ cotton candy emotional attachment.
This is by far a must see for all, a family flick, to say the least the story line is pretty muffled by the fact that this little robot is such a busy little bugger, this tale of the end of the planet, with its compiliation of human existance of Burger King and milkshake pruned pool bombers, and wayward bots, clammering to the very existance we would expect, was pretty darn intimidating on the concentration front, I just wanted to watch it, and nothing seemed to draw my attention away. 

It kind of put the warm fuzzies to work, which in most circumstances is not even an option, but hooray this did have some kind of magic. You have got to see this one for yourself.

28 Sep 08 Grumpy Old Men

This will get your viagra groove on,  I wasn’t even planning to see this one, just popped up on network television,  I couldn’t Resist a blast from the past, so i sat down and watched this end to end.

These old buggers are unbelievable, I definately look up these geriatric school kids, if I can try and imagine what i want to be like when my flatulants force themselves out; this would be a good example.

This is a well funny flick, its got a bit of a low profile for action and adventure but it rates man nappies as if they were budweiser’s, I seriousley had a bit of a chuckle, its got a solid storyline and doesn’t beat around the garden shed too much, its got some wicked beat up lines and bashful pitches, its definately one for the family, but its got something for everyone, a few quirky twists out there scenes keep you interested.

For a family comedy, I was glad i took the time to see this one through;  though if i hadn’t been recovering from a heavy night on the town i am not sure if i would have given it the chance, however i am well stoked i was in the frame of body and mind to catch this one.
