King Kong
Well, I played the game, and now I've seen the film.
I must admit when I found out Peter Jackson was following up the Lord of the Rings movies with King Kong I was more than a little disappointed. I've always thought of the original film as rather daft so have never watched it and I felt this would be more of the same. When I heard
Movie Roundup December 05
A great Christmas and a bunch of new films watched. Time for the second of my monthly Movie Roundups
Ghost Dog - Way of the SamuraiA wonderful film with Forest Whitaker as Ghost Dog, a hitman who follows the teachings of the Samurai. His master is a gangster who saved his life and is now his employer. A simple mistake, which wasn't his fault, means that the gangsters want Ghost Dog killed which leads to a him fighting ...
Movie Roundup November 05
I watch quite a few films and recently a lot of them have been really good. I've tried to do movie reviews before but am not convinced they turned out as well as they could have so I am going to try something different. Below are all the films I can remember watching over the last few months with single paragraph reviews of each. I think, from now on, I will do a movie round up once every few weeks.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
I've wanted to watch this for a while and having seen Sin City not too long ago I was intrigued to see what other computer generated films would be like, and anyway Sky Captain and the world of tomorrow looked cool, so buy it I did.
The story is fairly simple, robots are rampaging through the city and only one person can stop them - Joe 'Sky Captain' Sullivan. After ...
Sin City
I went to see Sin City yesterday. I've never been a fan of comic books or graphic novels but this looked really nice, and being a sucker for anything that tries to be different, had to give it a try.
The film is styled very closely to it's source, pretty much everything is in black and white (mainly black) with the very occasional splash of ...
Star Wars Easter Eggs
You may have noticed that I enjoyed Star Wars Episode III.
If you're a fan of the film you may be interested in some of the Easter Eggs (hidden surprises) that were hidden throughout.
Note that if you haven't seen the film yet there may be some spoilers waiting for you.
Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith- Review
I suspect there are going to be quite a few Star Wars reviews over the next few days so I'll make this quick.
I like Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith!
The script was up to Georges usual standard, that is to say, incredibly cheesy; but you don't watch a Star Wars movie if you want to be intellectually stimulated or wowed by Oscar worthy acting. Star Wars is a Saturday afternoon popcorn movie, and looked at like that ...
Rocket Boards is a super fast 3D rocket boarding action. My first "commercial" (shareware) product. Didn't do amazingly well but was a good learning experience
Bubble Bomb is a polished update of a game originally built by Warren Marshal (who works at Epic games - developers of Unreal and Gears of War)
My own update of Bubble Bomb, Bubble Blitz was almost a total rewrite adding loads of new features and a shiny new look.
Seths Puzzle Boxes is a puzzle game with a surprisingly enjoyable story line, unfortunately it's quite short so won't take long to complete, but while it lasts is great fun.
