Pixar Shorts: Okay, not strictly a film. A collection of shorts from the early days of Pixar, through to present day. I found it very interesting to see how the technology progressed, and how the company focus moved from hardware, through to animation. I think it has to be watched along with the documentary part […]

Film: The Accidental Husband (2008)
The Accidental Husband: I wasn’t expecting much out of this film. Perhaps that’s why I was pleasantly surprised. There wasn’t really much to the story, but the movie didn’t take itself too seriously at all, which made it all the better. The ending, however, was super duper cheesy. The story is about a radio chat […]
Film: The Wild (2006)
The Wild: A fairly lame Disney cartoon. It was about a lion cub, who couldn’t roar, so he was being a brat, and managed to get taken away from the zoo. The other zoo animals and his dad go after him. And all is happy in the end. It was dull as anything, the funny […]
Film: Good Luck Chuck (2007)
Good Luck Chuck: Very silly, relatively formulaic romantic comedy. Girls think that a guy has a lucky charm, and that if they are with him, then the next person they meet, they’ll fall in love with, and marry. This guy is a fairly normal guy, works as a dentist, and has a friend who is […]
Film: Shoot ‘Em Up (2008)
Shoot ‘Em Up: A film that seems to have been based on a failed video game story. Or, perhaps, a video game that’s based on a failed movie. Whatever. It’s full of violence, and silliness. It’s oddly amusing. I give it 6/10
Film: Ghost Town
Ghost Town: I’m logging this, mainly in confusion. I’m trying to remember where on earth I saw this – it’s not even been that long ago… I actually got a blu-ray of this film from Lovefilm, and assumed that they’d made a mistake, or I had, and that they’d sent me a copy in the […]
Film: Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride (2005)
Corpse Bride: I didn’t realise this was a musical – but I knew it was an animation, though I assumed it was a 3D animation, not a stop motion one! The detail these animators put into their productions is simply amazing. The film was good fun, and shorter than I thought it would be – […]
Film: Juno (2007)
Juno: I’d seen a part of this film before I watched it completely, and I thought the humour was excellent. So, I thought I should watch the whole thing. I know the whole foul mouthed teenage girl might be a bit cliche, but, it works well here. The subject matter that was tackled was done […]
Film: Yes Man (2007)
Yes Man: A film in a similar vein to ‘Liar Liar’. Jim Carrey’s character chooses to say ‘yes’ to everything. It’s got some funny bits in it, but, it’s very formulaic – you can see where things are going to go. I give it 5/10
Film: The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2008)
The Good, the Bad, the Weird: And, what a wonderfully weird film indeed! It’s a very enjoyable South Korean action western film. It references a fair few Sergio Leone films – including the title that this film is based on. The action is very well choreographed, the characters are quite interesting, but the end is […]
