Wall-e
Cute. The first half hour is quite enthralling and the best part of the movie. It then devolves into a fairly typical kids movie from there but isn’t too bad and I didn’t fall asleep, which is always a good … Continue reading

The Incredible Hulk
Green. So this was 2/3rds a good movie. Edward Norton kept me interested at the beginning. When the hulks went mano a mano I fell asleep, the ultimate sign that all is not well with a movie. Sigh. Current temperature: … Continue reading

In Bruges
Brilliant. I haven’t laughed so hard at a movie in a long time. The bouncing back and forth between side splitting humour and deathly seriousness was quite a feat. It made me laugh even harder as my brain kept going, … Continue reading

Speed Racer
Fabulous. This movie was so intoxicating I still haven’t come down yet. Holy cow that was something else. Visually it was stunning though it did take a few minutes to get used to the visual stimulation, it was so bright. … Continue reading

Iron Man
Enjoyable. Robert Downey Jr as a superhero rocks! This movie was great popcorn fun. I didn’t feel like falling asleep once which is always a good sign. We even got to watch with a fairly full auditorium which isn’t usually … Continue reading

Control
Fascinating. A very cool movie about the lead singer of Joy Division. Another exploration of the disintegration of a human being. Great insight into the creative process. Loved the music. Current temperature: here 13C/55F, there 61F/16C

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Stunning. Another film of epic proportions that doesn’t drag for a single moment. Hauntingly beautiful, it just sucked me in. Elegiac for a past time and place, winding towards a predestined tragic end. A poem that tells how violence merely … Continue reading

Juno
Cool. This was a great little movie featuring a range of interesting quirky characters who I actually enjoyed spending time with. Ellen Page is one cool actress, it’s amazing to think she was the ‘little’ girl in Hard Candy. That’s … Continue reading

Definitely, Maybe
Harmless. So the young’un and I whiled away a few hours with this movie. Yes, the premise is rather odd as a father tells the story of how he met and married his daughter’s mother by anonymising his experiences with … Continue reading
