Kill Bill in One Minute

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

Okay, this is really silly but it’s also really funny and captures all the main plot points of the movie Kill Bill. Kill Bill in One Minute has the main character (the Bride) moving across a football field meeting (and mainly killing) all the characters in the movie. I give it 2 thumbs up.

↑↑ The Dark Knight

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

The Dark Knight does more than live up to the hype. All the aspects of the movie are superb: acting, plot, scenery (for the dark mood), special effects and explosions. All of it.
Heath Ledger is wonderfully creepy and is the best Bat-villain yet.
The plot moves right from the first scene and rarely slows down.
I saw [...]

Iron Man

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Finally a movie that lives up to its hype. Iron Man deserves its number one ranking. The plot is good, Robert Downey Jr. is good as Tony Stark, the special effects are good, the tech level is high. They do set up a sequel (make sure you stick around after the credits; no spoiler but [...]

Juno

Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008

I’ll jump on the Juno bandwagon because it’s a fun place to be. The witty movie about a smart-mouthed pregnant teenager is a refreshing look at the subject. Much better than an after-school special on the topic.
The writing, acting, and pacing are all top notch. I don’t know if it rates a Best Picture Oscar [...]

Idiocracy

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

I had read good things about Idiocracy, a new cult classic. The idea is good: two people of average intelligence are accidentally sent 500 years in the future where they find themselves smarter than everyone else. However, the execution didn’t live up to the idea in my opinion.
The blasts about overcommercialization are funny but the [...]

Spider-Man 3

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Spider-Man 3 is a good movie but I think my favourite part of the experience was seeing it at an IMAX theatre in Toronto. Not because of the big screen but because there were no commercials before the movie. Well, there was one promo for IMAX itself but after that no commercials, no coming attractions, [...]

Fido

Monday, April 2nd, 2007

Fido is the heartwarming story of a boy and his zombie. Yes, zombie. It’s a campy, funny movie but also touches on some serious issues. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
In an alternate 50’s universe where zombies have been domesticated, Timmy’s family gets a zombie who turns out to be more compassionate than his distant father. Aside [...]

Superman Returns in IMAX 3D

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Superman Returns is good but I want to comment as much on how I saw it as to the actual movie itself.
First the movie: I liked it and didn’t mind the changes from the standard “myth” as previously depicted in earlier TV shows and movies. I would have prefered less time spent on the relationship [...]

X-Men 3: The Last Stand

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

X-MEN: THE LAST STAND is the latest installment of the X-Men movies series and while many have complained that the new director didn’t get it I thought it was a good movie. The special effects were up to the same level as the first 2 movies and there was lots of mayhem showing off the [...]

Recording and Movie Industry Associations

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

Why do the RIAA, MPAA, CRIA, etc. assume that consumers are all pirates and their first notion is to sue and not talk to them/us?
These industry associations answer to the big companies in their industry not to consumers so it is unlikely that they will change their ways. But that doesn’t mean that we [...]
