M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender (an adaption of the Emmy award winning Nickelodeon animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender) has been on my radar for a while but with little reason to think it won’t just be Dragonball Evolution all over again. Well the teaser trailer is out and it actually looks pretty cool, [...]

At first the setting of Strait Jacket appears to be somewhere in the middle of the twentieth century. There are steam trains, industrial factories and lots of quaint architecture. But despite this homeliness, in the world of Strait Jacket magic is a common but vital technology that has been harnessed by humans and is used [...]

Review: Rock + Roll Nerd The Tim Minchin Story

May 28th, 2009 – 5:48 am Posted by: Liam

It’s hard not to like Tim Minchin, the awarding winning actor and comedian is a highly talented and personable individual who has been performing comedy and producing DVDs (in his current style) since 2005.

Thomas Jane kicks arse, takes names and gives hell

If I had to give anyone the simultaneous honour and possible career killing label of “The new Bruce Campbell” it would be Thomas Jane. He’s handsome, charming, a great actor, a perfect action star, and he loves doing genre films. His newest film Give ‘em Hell, Malone is sure to be a cult classic and [...]

Review: Star Trek

Filed as: Movie Reviews

Star Trek first aired in 1966; several TV seasons, films and an animated series later, J.J. Abrams is directing the newest Star Trek film intended to ‘revamp’ the franchise – an aim which this film, simply titled Star Trek, fails at miserably. I should point out that I’ve never gotten into Star Trek, having only [...]

Here is an old (March 2007) talk by J.J. Abrams (Lost, Mission Impossible 3, Star Trek) discussing his love of mystery and its uses in life and film. This talk is just one of many by fantastic speakers including Al Gore, Brian Greene, and Ken Robinson which you can check out at TED. I highly [...]
