Final Destination 4

Friday, January 18th, 2008

Wednesday morning began quietly, as most tense films begin. After an excellent Moroccan lamb (thanks Adrian) the night before, I was exceedingly keen about both lunch and a visit to the bank later that day (oh, and work ofcourse.. *cough*).
In hindsight, much like the films, the innocuous nature of a certain chain of events in […]

If I could be king for a day…

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

A shopping trip with Kellie and Woody the other day netted another eagerly anticipated cinematic experience: the third installment in the Shrek franchise. Perhaps I should elaborate a little.
I still remember not being able to stop laughing through the first Shrek. Its rewatchability was amazing; and it was not long before the entire film could […]

Yohoho, a pirate’s life for me!

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

So, the day of reckoning finally arrived, and the third, but possibly not final installment of Pirates. In case it wasn’t clear, these tickets were obtained as a result of winning a Mix106.5 competition, and resulted in Kellie and I seeing Pirates 3 quite early! Seeing the movie before most people saw it has its […]

300 Beans chasing after some Wild Hogs?!

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Mr Bean, a name I grew up with, is almost synonymous with disaster. His unerring ineptitude provided me with many laughs… how someone could traverse the earth with such incompetence was beyond me. As a child, I could appreciate it, since much of Bean’s humour was without words — in fact, I daresay many […]

The pursuit of happIness

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

I saw Pursuit of Happyness last night, a movie which has interested me and bugged me at the same time. Interested as the pursuit (and attainment) of being happy is one greatly aligned with my life. Bugged because that spelling is a bit jarring.
So, witnessing Will Smith’s character, Chris Gardner, taking the time to point […]

Tappity-tap-tap

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

After much bated breath I witnessed Happy Feet, and came out quite excited by the prospect that I could be the next tap dog/penguin. This film definitely lived up to the amount of hype that I had been exposed to, and may well have extended it.

Being part of the animated generation, I witnessed CGI take […]

Bond, James Bond

Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007

After much poking, prodding, bugging and otherwise incessant badgering from numerous people to go see Casino Royale, I finally did it, and saw it without thinking about all the things the media have been saying about it for ages.
Overall, I have to say I am impressed.
I am one of the many who was getting a […]
