I saw something today that made me think that all this hoo haa surrounding High Definition is a bit of a con. I walked into a store with a friend of mine who was looking for a surround sound kit and there right in front of the entrance was a TV playing ones of those [...]

It would seem that Gore Verbinski will be making Bioshock. A film based on the computer game of the same name. I have to say that I am quite excited by this but I do have to remember that most computer game to film adaptations have never really hit the mark. There have been real [...]

Initial Star Trek reviews

Posted on: April 7th, 2009 By: sjp1966

It would seem that the early reviews of the new Star Trek film directed by J J Adams (Cloverfield) are very favourable. I am getting quite excited by this now. I enjoyed the old Star Treks as a kid, Next Generation became a bit boring and Voyager was the only one I really enjoyed, Enterprise [...]

All the way back in 1982 a phenomenon hit our screens; the first (to my knowledge) computer graphics film reached our screens. It was called TRON, and it looked great, in a 1982 battlezone kind of way. Well it is being remade and it looks like Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner are going to be [...]
