Beware the BD

Posted on: April 15th, 2009 By: sjp1966

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 [...]

Check before you buy!
Back in January this year I needed a new DVD player as my old one was on its way out. A friend of mine recommended Denon as a good make and so I read a few reviews and decided on the Denon 1940. The 2 questions were what colour I wanted? and [...]

Posted on: April 8th, 2009 By: sjp1966

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 [...]

Film News – TRON

Posted on: March 31st, 2009 By: sjp1966

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 [...]

Gran Torino, Cinema Review

Posted on: March 19th, 2009 By: Matt Wheeldon

One of the first things to hit you about watching this film, is it’s a film named after a car, that has nothing to do with racing, tuning or even driving cars. It’s a film about an old man, a Korean War veteran, that’s growing apart from his family and feels that the world has [...]

Kirk’s Movie Blogspot 13th Mar

Posted on: March 13th, 2009 By: Kirk

Oops, Friday the 13th again! Two months running, that must be a rare occurance. Having already written of my dislike of the horror genre (that was the Friday the 13th link) I think this time I’ll write about a genre that I like, and that would be sci-fi. Yes, I am a self confessed sci-fi [...]

I just received my Blade Runner Region 1 Five Disc Ultimate Collectors Edition. Phew that was a mouthful. I already have the Region 2 Blade Runner set of the same elongated name. But why do I want 2 sets? Well the packaging on the R1 urinates all over the R2 packaging, even though the R2 [...]
