Up

Mikey 3 comments

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

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 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...

Star Trek the original series: Bluray review

Star Trek the original series: Bluray review I love my ever growing Bluray collection, and when it was announced the original Star Trek series had been remastered for the high definition format I was a giddy as a kid in a chocolate shop. But then I learned two seemingly undesirable facts. First was the price - an astonishing $AU138 just for the first season. Secondly, after I did some more...

Paranormal Activity

Paranormal Activity Directed by Oren Peli, Paranormal Activity is an unimaginatively titled film about a young suburban couple who are routinely disturbed during sleeping hours by an unseen presence in their home. If you've seen the Blair Witch Project then you can get an idea of the way in which this film is shot - entirely at the hands of our protagonists Micah ...

Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2

Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2 Much negativity had been aimed at the new Call of Duty even before it was released. The most vocal majority rightfully came from the PC users camp, with the news that Modern Warfare II would not only cost around $AU10 more than most PC titles, but it would also be 'less of a complete package'. Infinity Ward in all their infinite wisdom somehow c...

Air: Love 2

Air: Love 2 As a long time fan of Air, I am going to break tradition this time around and not compare Airs' new album to Moon Safari, which is still considered to be pairs most significant work. We can all agree Moon Safari is still as delicious today as it was in 1998, so let's leave it at that and examine Love 2 on it's own merits. Love 2 is the the great...

Nokia N97 - There's a lot to love, and a lot to hate

Nokia N97 - There's a lot to love, and a lot to hate I've noticed a trend with many bloggers when it comes to reviewing their own devices. That is, a lot of them seem to be very forgiving of obvious failings. I have a hunch this is probably some excessive way of justifying to themselves the (often) insane amount of money they have blown on the product. That's not always the case of course, but many p...

DreamBook Style M76 1TU Review

DreamBook Style M76 1TU Review It's about time I got a new laptop, and given my line of work it's surprising I waited this long. Choosing the right machine can be a hit and miss affair and as Rodney recently pointed out when reviewing his own laptop, sometimes it can be a huge disappointment. So it's helpful to know a bit about computer components when it comes to customisin...

As you are all no doubt aware, I have had a very personal and long standing battle with depression, so when I heard about Movember I just had to jump on board. Movember is a campaign aimed at raising awareness for mens health issues, primarily depression and prostate cancer which are by far, 2 o...keep reading
