Hellboy 2: The Golden Army: A good sequel – though it was sad not to see the agent from the last movie in this one – he was quite good. The scenes were good, the acting was good, and I thought the storyline was fairly good too. Plenty of action in this one again. I […]
Film Log
Logs of movies I’ve watched.
Movie: National Treasure (2004)
National Treasure: A movie from my ‘hi-def’ list, so it’s not on the IMDB top 250 or anything. It has 6.8/10 as an average on there as I write this. Well, an odd one. I’ve always wanted to watch it, but there’s been something niggling at me about this movie that’s put me off ever buying […]
Movie: Kung Fu Panda (2008)
Kung Fu Panda: A fun film, and, not just for kids! Definitely in the same class as Shrek.Story is of a Panda who is an unlikely saviour. It actually kind of reminds me of Kung Fu Hustle a bit, with the ending.I’m too tired to review this – just would recommend you watch it. It’s […]
Movie: Rocky (1976)
Rocky: This is the story of Rocky Balboa, a ‘bum’ as he’s described in the film, whose life is going nowhere, until, out of the blue, he is chosen as a contender for the world heavyweight champion.I think Stallone was very good in this movie, his character wasn’t really very smart, and the character himself knew […]
Movie: Thirteen Ghosts (2001)
Thirteen Ghosts: One word: Rubbish. And, no, it was not an IMDB top 250, it was a random choice from my ‘hi-def’ list, I don’t really recall adding it, it must’ve been added in the early days of my lovefilm subscription. Fancy special effects, but stupidly crap movie. It used lots of cliches, and stupid […]
Movie: M (1931)
M: A film about a child murderer in Berlin, who terrorises the city, and causes the police to look anywhere and everywhere in an attempt to find a clue to the murderers identity. This causes a knock on effect for criminals who are targeted more, and even the general population, where any contact with a […]
Movie: For a Few Dollars More (1965)
For a Few Dollars More: First things first, if Clint Eastwood is meant to be the man with no name, then why does he have a name? I’m not a western connoisseur, but, I enjoyed this movie. I also think that’s the first time I’ve ever written ‘connoisseur’, and I appear to have spelt it […]
Movie: Persepolis (2007)
Persepolis: Owen lent me this movie. And I am so glad he did. It’s an absolutely amazing film.The story is of a girl growing up in Iran since the late 1970s, and her experiences. From when the Shah was deposed during the revolution, to when the new government came to power.There are some amazingly powerful […]
Movie: Family Man (2000)
Family Man: This film was a gift to me by a couch surfing couple that stayed at my house a month or so ago. If I’m honest, it’s not the kind of movie I’d probably have chosen to watch, but, I actually enjoyed it. It was soppy as heck in parts, but, still enjoyable. It’s […]
Movie: Species (1995)
Species: What can I say – a movie for boys who like girls. But still vaguely interesting. Kind of a horror/sci-fi. Interesting concept of alien lifeform making contact with Earth – reminds me of some old John Varley books I’ve read. The Ophiuci Line specifically – just the bit about how the aliens communicate. I don’t […]
