Shrek
posted by admin in Uncategorized
Shrek is one brilliant animation movie. The story begins in a small village where Shrek lives in his disgusting swamp. However, he thinks that his home is the best place on Earth. Shrek likes his privacy and usually he is not very friendly. But as you go through the story you will find out that Shrek actually is one big, green sweetheart. In the First movie he tries to save a princess from a high tower guarded by a dragon. More

Slumdog millionaire - at last
posted by admin in Uncategorized
Am I the only person on the planet who hadn’t actually seen Slumdog Millionaire until this week? Quite probably. I just haven’t been able to make it to the movies, and somehow it got left off my movie subscription. So imagine my delight when I found it in my local Oxfam - I snapped up a copy, and wondered why the heck I hadn’t sat down in front of it sooner.
After all the hype, I was hesitant to dive More

Jackass the Movie
posted by admin in Uncategorized
I am not really sure how many of you have heard about Jackass, because it is an American production and it seems to be more popular there. Jackass started as a TV series, produced by MTV. Basically it is a show where different lunatics perform crazy and dangerous stunts. Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Dave England are some of the brave men that star in the movie. Even though it had a relatively low budged, around More

Guilty Pleasure
posted by admin in Uncategorized
Everyone has a cool and smart movie that they say is their favourite when asked. After all, no-onewants to admit that their favourite film is something cheesy and a bit uncool. If I want to sound likea movie buff who knows their stuff, I always say that “Kind Hearts and Coronets” is my favourite.That usually provokes thoughtful nodding of heads as people talk about their favourite EalingComedies and how the Tom Hanks remake of “The Ladykillers” was really bad.

Star Trek Fest
posted by admin in Uncategorized
I had a great time last weekend. My boyfriend and I went to see a comedy show on the Saturdaynight, I went shopping on Sunday morning to spend some Currys discount vouchers and then a TVchannel was showing all of the Star Trek; The Next Generation movies. The older films featuringWilliam Shatner had been on the day before, but some of these just look a bit dated and cheesynow. The TNG movies still look pretty cool, even if special effects More

The Devil’s Whore
posted by admin in Uncategorized
Flying home from a stressful business trip, I was simply craving a long lazy weekend near the fireplace enjoying good movies. Upon leaving the Newcastle Airport Parking, I remembered an advertised movie online at Channel 4 On Demand titled, The Devil’s Whore a television series shown in 2008. Being a history buff it sparked my curiosity, as it is a film based loosely on the memoirs of aristocratic Lady Anne Fanshawe during 17th century England; the wife of More

No More Avatar!!
posted by admin in Uncategorized
OK, I think I’m maybe the only person in the world that hated Avatar, but I detested every second ofthe self-indulgent rubbish. The whole thing wasn’t so much a movie as a chance for James Cameronto play around with 3D cameras. It seems like plot, characterisation and especially script weresecondary considerations to how cool it was going to look. Some of the lines were so bad I foundmyself laughing out loud, to the confusion of everyone around me. Those two More

The Expendables
posted by admin in Uncategorized
An action movie that starred Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke and Terry Crews would surely have to be the best action movie of all time wouldn’t it? Sadly, no. I walked into this one thinking that if it was done in a tongue-in-cheek style, then it could be quite funny because, let’s face it, these guys aren’t getting any younger, how could they possibly take themselves so seriously? I also had small hopes More

Notting Hill
posted by admin in Uncategorized
Notting Hill is one of the ’absolute classics’. In fact, say that short phrase in a lilting Welsh accent and people will know that you’re quoting the film’s affable Spike, flatmate of Hugh Grant’s character, William Thacker. And it’s one of those films which, once you’ve seen it a few times, provides an extraordinary number of brilliant quotes.
Apart from the volume of sound-bites, there are a few factors which make this such a great film, the strength of the More
