Well, yesterday I rushed to the cinema to see the highly anticipated Wall-E, Pixars latest movie, starring the cutest robot since Johnny 5.  Once again Pixar has made a masterpiece of a movie, beautiful animation that really stuns the viewer, coupled with an immersive fast paced story that keeps you involved right until the end.  I won’t go into details of the story, as too many review sites give away plots, but I will say that his movie is worth the hype, and more.  As with all Pixar movies, a …

Well, I’ve been to cinema a few times in last week, and other than the obvious loss of funds in my bank due to it I’ve enjoyed the movies I’ve seen. Firstly is
National Treasure: Book Of Secrets

Well, this film is a direct sequel to the first movie, and picks up following the crazy treasure hunting antics of Nicolas Cage and the original cast. The story is not solely based in the USA this time, with trips to Paris and London. The main story is about trying to clear the name …

Firstly, there is a huge amount of movies being released this summer. The summer blockbusters first kicked off with the sorely disappointing Spider-man 3, a film that for me didn’t even come close to reaching the expectations it had built up prior to release. Thankfully Marvel saved the day with Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, simply an excellent movie with great plot, action and effects.
Below, I shall review the first 3 major movies of this Summer.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
I enjoyed this …

Well, I’ve just come home from seeing Marvels’ latest comic-book adaption, Ghost Rider. No doubt people have seen the adverts on tv or on the cinema of this anticipated movie. Nicolas Cage stars as Johnny Blaze who sells his soul to the Devil and is cursed to become a demonic riding Bounty Hunter.
Well, I really like Nicolas Cage (in my opinion his best role was Caster Troy in “Face-Off”), and I enjoy the character of Ghost Rider, his dark approach. Sadly this movie has been toned …

Best picture
Babel; The Departed; Letters From Iwo Jima; Little Miss Sunshine; The Queen
I’m going for The Departed on this one… Not only cause it’s a great film, but also cause i think the academy members probably still feel guilty for voting Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas…
Best director
Clint Eastwood, Letters From Iwo Jima; Stephen Frears, The Queen; Paul Greengrass, United 93; Alejandro; Gonzales Inarritu, Babel; Martin Scorsese, The Departed
Humm… Greengrass maybe, although i’d say Scorsese could scoop this too (about time!)
Best actor
Leonardo DiCaprio, Blood Diamond; Ryan Gosling, …

Well, I went to the first performance of the heavily advertised Eragon today. I cringed as a rushed voice laid out the story so far even before the first actor had a chance to speak…
The film generally is a poor mix of Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings, trying to be spectacular with its wide sweeping camera shots of nice scenary. The baby dragon sequence is good, but short lived, and the film then jumps around, much like if you had read the book and skipped large …
