For anyone that wasn’t aware, Dukes of Hazzard[/url] is a well known TV series from around 1979, around my parents generation. I grew up seeing the re-runs though (Along with Starksy and Hutch and the series from my generation like the A-team!).. Who didn’t have a little orange General Lee when they were growing up […]

Sin City – Black and White Violence!
This is a funky film, sex, highly stylized violence from Frank Miller stories. It’s already reached the . Almost a work of art rather than a film, it’s a pleasure to watch, even though it doesn’t really have any plot so to speak, it’s just a story about a bunch of good/bad/beautiful/ugly people in a […]
Seven Swords – Tsui Hark
This is a long awaited movie, Tsui Harks return to Wuxia movies..It cost more than Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and has been a long time in the making.. Some thought he might bring out the power, unleash a new classic like Iron Monkey or New Dragon Gate Inn or Butterfly Lovers. But well he didn’t […]
Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War
This is a truly great movie, I’ve heard a lot about it and have been meaning to watch it for some time. I bought the DVD in Brunei, but honestly the quality there sucks, perhaps it’s why they are cheaper than in Malaysia.. It stalled at chapter 9, so I went out to SS2 and […]
War of the Worlds – Half a classic?
This was *almost* a great movie, I mean really really great, a classic, for the first 2 acts, the first half it was gripping, emotional, scary, involving and just great to watch (Especially on a THX screen!).. There was another War of the Worlds made in 1953[/url], which although not totally faithful to the book […]
I-Robot – OMG THEY ARE TAKING OVER
I’ve been meaning to watch this movie for a long time, I missed the cinema release as I was away in some mud-hut somewhere, so I picked up the DVD which I just managed to watch last night. The movie is kind of based of Isaac Asimov’s 3 laws of robotics: 1. A robot may […]
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Movie…Don’t Panic!
This is one of the ultimate geek books, or series of books anyway, H2G2 (as it’s affectionaltley known by geeks) is actually a book and a series… The 5 books being: [list] [*]The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy [*]The Restaurant at the End of the Universe [*]Life, the Universe, and Everything [*]So Long, and Thanks […]
Mr and Mrs Smith – SEXY!
Mr and Mrs Smith[/url] is a sexy, stupid, popcorn fluff movie, and it was good fun. It was exactly what it was supposed to be, it wasn’t pretentious, it wasn’t ‘clever’ it wasn’t deep or thought provoking, it was funny, action packed and there was good chemistry (almost electric) between the super good looking couple […]
Batman Begins – Dark, just how I like it..
Batman has gone back to it’s roots, this is a gritty, dark movie with an impoverished crime ridden Gotham dominated by drug lords, evil-doers and corrupt officials. There is a star studded cast, I was like, wow another famous person, and another and another and another (Michael Caine, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Ken […]
Reservoir Dogs – The Beginning
To continue with my look at classic movies, this film is the definition of a cult classic, not so mainstream as Pulp Fiction, few people had watched it when Pulp Fiction[/url] game out, it gained popularity when people went back to watch it after. Even though it’s an old movie (1992) it still ranks up […]
