Revenge of the Sith

Posted on 8/6/2006 by WeatherGrrrl

Sorting through my ‘to finish’ posts I discovered this review that for some reason I never posted. So it’s a year late but, what the heck, here it is any way. Best of the prequels. I’m sad though, because it … Continue reading →

Lucky Number Slevin

Posted on 8/6/2006 by WeatherGrrrl

Tasty. I don’t know how this will play on rewatching but for a first viewing it was great. There are lots of twists and turns so you have to pay attention and if you engage your brain you will be … Continue reading →

Over the Hedge

Posted on 8/6/2006 by WeatherGrrrl

? The boys really enjoyed this movie and laughed all the way through. Me, I didn’t get into it until the last third. The voices didn’t work for me. Just because you’ve got big name actors doesn’t mean they can … Continue reading →

X-Men: The Last Stand

Posted on 4/6/2006 by WeatherGrrrl

Disappointing. After parts one and two I was really looking forward to this film but then disaster struck, Bryan Singer abandoned ship for Superman and Brett Ratner took over. It shows, the directing is abysmal. This is the weakest of … Continue reading →

Mission: Impossible III

Disappointing. Given all the talent involved in this movie it really should have been a whole lot better. I hate the reliance on ‘character impersonation‘, it seems to be used because the writer is lazy and can’t be bothered to … Continue reading →

The Sentinel, Spoilery

Posted on 27/5/2006 by WeatherGrrrl

Enjoyable tosh. Although this movie plays it mostly by the numbers I must say I had a great time. Good to see Keifer Sutherland on the big screen once again. Usually this sort of movie relies upon characters not passing … Continue reading →

Inside Man

Posted on 18/5/2006 by WeatherGrrrl

A Spike Lee movie I liked!!!!!!! Don’t all faint with surprise. Taut thriller that twists and turns this way and that, and includes cultural commentary without being too heavy handed. Strong performances from the leads. I especially liked seeing Jody … Continue reading →

Dreamer

Sentimental … but not too sickly sweet. I rather enjoyed this even though it was quite predictable. Kurt Russell plays these ‘dad’ parts really well. Current temperature 63F/17C

V for Vendetta

Posted on 17/5/2006 by WeatherGrrrl

Slick. A comic book movie that’s full of ideas and challenges you to think about what’s going on. Just what is the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter and are we obliged to act when it involves using … Continue reading →
