Heavy Rain
No comments
While this review has come a lot later than I would have liked due to school and work taking up not only my free time to write, but my free time to play video games, I feel I need to write this review. Though games like Mass Effect 2 have been getting wide and respected coverage (rightfully so) I posit that Heavy Rain is a needed and much more impo...
Moon
I'd been waiting months for this to come out on Bluray, and 2 days ago it did. It's a movie that when I first saw the trailer, my jaw literally dropped. I hadn't been this excited about a movie in a long time.
So last night we viewed Moon, directed by one Duncan Jones (who is incidentally the son of someone else I admire - David Bowie), lights o...
Mass Effect 2: The greatest game ever made?
The greatest game ever made? That's a very big call; but it's what they're saying. It's not every day a game gets 10 out of 10 on several serious gamer review sites (in fact it basically never happens) - but that's precisely what's going on, right now. So why is there so much hype and reviewer gushing over this RPG?
In short - because it m...
Avatar 3D
I have to say that I have a lot of respect for James Cameron for pushing the envelope when it comes to advancing cinema technology. Although he is famous for directing some really good movies, most don't know that he's also an explorer. This movie business actually gets in the way of his preferred passion of discovery. If you haven't seen his Alien...

How quickly we forget. After 9/11 the patriot act was rushed through congress pushed by the high blood pressure of terrorist crisis. It was too fast a response, it was an overreaction. The patriot act was supposed fix bugs in o...
Them Crooked Vultures
In November 2009 Led Zeppelin, Queens Of The Stone Age and the Foo Fighters had a child. The new band features John Paul Jones, Dave Grohl, and Josh Homme. This project has been in the works since 2005 and follows in the wake of other side projects that both Grohl and Homme have contributed to.
The album is, in a single word, FANTASTIC! It combi...
Up
Pixar films are generally pretty amazing, but Up stands out as something special. It's easily Pixars' best movie to date even toppling the might Toy Story, and as usual there's more than enough substance to entertain the young and elderly alike.
Warning: Some of this review onwards might contain what you could call spoilers.
But this film has...
Fantastic Mr Fox
Before I start this review, let me say for the record I unequivocally love Wes Andersons' movies. My two favourites are The Life Aquatic and The Royal Tenenbaums, but I honestly couldn't decide which I rank over the other.
So here we have Andersons' latest, Fantastic Mr Fox based on the Roald Dahl children's book of the same name. The film is e...
Inglourious Basterds
Inglourious Basterds had a lot more riding on it than just Tarantinos' reputation. The directors latest flick was a gamble taken to get The Weinstein Company out of deep financial poo, and even with the $US65 million production cost and a $US35 million marketing bill, it seems the gamble has paid off with over $US311 million at the box office so f...
Something Something Something Darkside
For those of you who are fans of either Star Wars or Family Guy, you're probably familiar with Family Guy's Blue Harvest movie, sending up the Original Star Wars movie (episode IV; A New Hope). Well, now the next instalment, parodying Star Wars episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (ESB) - Something Something Something DarkSide is out and ready for re...
