Iron Man

My son talked me into going to see “Iron Man” tonight.  I’d seen the ads for it when I was in Taiwan and Hong Kong a week and a bit ago and thought it looked interesting (of course, I didn’t understand the ads in Chinese).  So “cheapskate Tuesday” at the local cinema was enough […]

Cloverfield

We saw “Cloverfield” last night.   I liked it - even if I felt queasy in the stomach almost all the way through it.  And thats nothing to do with gore or violence or anything like that.  The gimmick of this movie is that its shot to look like a home movie shot on a home […]

Enchanted

Went to see "Enchanted" this morning.   What a delightful, fun movie it is, a fairy tale combining animated and live action.  Amy Adams is just gorgeous in it and really makes this movie.  The chipmunk is pretty good too.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Not so enchanted was I with the Boxing Day sale experience afterwards.  Got stuck in a line […]

She’s a real doll

I just love this comment in a review of Britney Spears’ new album “Blackout”.
“If a blowup sex doll could sing, this is what she’d sound like.”

Pure gold!
Also, commenting on the studio trickery used in making it:
“In terms of studio trickery, Paris Hilton’s album was practically “Unplugged” compared to this.”

And while on the subject of blow-up/rubber […]

Hairspray

Took the kids to see “Hairspray” this morning. I’d been a bit lukewarm about going to see it, but everything I’ve read or heard about it lately has been positive, and the kids persuaded me to take them. Its great fun …we of course liked the scene where Tracey’s father had to sleep […]

Bart Simpson’s doodle

Yep, saw it tonight. We took advantage of “tightwad Tuesday” to see the Simpsons Movie at the local cinema. Very funny it is. Surprisingly good for a movie of a TV show, and a cartoon at that.

Look what you can do on the movie website. Make your own Simpsons character […]

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

 The kids and I saw this movie today … second time for the kids, they had already seen it first session on opening day on Wednesday (and got free tickets out of that due to some projector problems during the screening).  While the kids thought it great, I’m a bit lukewarm about it, just […]

Running out of ideas

Took my kids to see “Shrek the Third” yesterday …it had its moments but its obvious that the writers are quickly running out of ideas. Time to call it quits I think, but no doubt there will be a Shrek 4 made. We thought the last 20 minutes or so was the only […]

Cough, cough, splutter, splutter

That pretty much sums up my long weekend. I’ve had a cold since the middle of the week (so has my daughter … who I blame for mine, and son) and over the weekend I was coughing and spluttering most of the time. Makes it hard to do much, and especially hard […]

Oh no, gay guys

Another one of those crazy American lawsuit stories.
A 12 year old girl and her grandparents are seeking $500,000 damages for psychological distress after being shown the movie “Brokeback Mountain” at school.
Now, granted, the teacher showing a class of 12 year olds an R-rated movie (MA in Australia I think?) deserves a good kick up the […]
