Managed to get in to see this movie in its opening week (the theater wasn’t even crowded!), and it did not disappoint, proving to be one of the best Harry Potter films yet, though not without its faults.

Brüno Review
2009
Director: Larry Charles
Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen
‘Like Borat…But, Brüno.’
Anyone can see from the trailers that this is pretty much following in the same vein as Cohen’s previous hit film ‘Borat’. This might be really off putting for many people, but I assure you, if you enjoyed ‘Borat’ and are tolerant of some graphic homo-erotic imagery, then [...]
Spring 2009 Anime roundup
Every Spring 2009 anime has aired (though not necessarily finished airing), and while I definitely fell behind on/completely stopped blogging about them, I still have been watching many of the shows. Here’s a quick list of what I saw, what I liked, as well as some links to episodes blogged about.
X-Men Origins: Wolverine Review
2009
Director: Gavin Hood
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Liev Schreiber
Not Bad For A Spin-Off, But Not Great Either.
Spun off from the trilogy started by Bryan Singer, the plot ‘X-Men Origins’ is all in the title; how ‘Wolverine’ became to be.
Having heard of the production of this film in its early stages, I started taking more [...]
Exploding Capacitors
Frequent visitors to this site may have noticed a complete lack of posts in the past couple days, and my nVidia Geforce 8600GTS from EVGA is the reason for that.
Fast and Furious Review
Directed by Justin Lin, the same director as Tokyo Drift (though not the same as the first two movies), I was expecting Fast and Furious (or Fast and Furious 4) to be just as bad, if not worse than Tokyo Drift. That said, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are back this time around, giving me a glimmer [...]
A Clockwork Orange Review
1971
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Starring: Malcolm McDowell, Aubrey Morris
Never Underestimate The Power Of Revenge
Kubrick’s classic adaptation of the novel by Anthony Burgess. A timeless dystopian adventure told through the eyes of ‘Alex DeLarge’ (Malcolm McDowell); fond of rape, assault, general ‘Ultra-Violence’ and Ludwig Van.
Alex is caught at the scene of a night out of ‘Ultra-Violence’; he is [...]
Duplicity Review
2009
Director: Tony Gilroy
Starring: Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Paul Giamatti, Tom Wilkinson
Like The ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ Remake, With Less Casinos And More Egotism
‘Claire’ (Julia Roberts) and ‘Ray’ (Clive Owen) meet each other in Dubai, at a US Consulate. They connect, spend a night together, and then she does something highly suspicious to him. We fast forward, and [...]
Haunting in Connecticut Review
Took a look at what movies were showing the other day and didn’t see much. A friend picked this one, though, so I didn’t have to make the tough decision whether to see something mediocre or see something else mediocre. I have to say I’m not a fan of horror movies, so I went into [...]
