9

Thumbnail :

As post apocalyptic movies go, things don't get much more apocalyptic than they do in the movie 9. In a post war time, when the only things left are some golems made by an old man, and a bunch of distinctly WWII influenced robots things can't get much more bleak.

Despite this 9 has a sense of heart and a distinctly more grown up story than your average animated adventure. Likewise some of the 'enemy' machines are genuinely scary with ...

March Movie Madness

Thumbnail :

I watched loads of films last month. Most aren't worth mentioning - but below are some short reviews of the ones I enjoyed the most.

Hellboy 2

Call me weird but the original Hellboy is one of my favorite films. It's up there with Blade 2 as a really enjoyable popcorn action flick. I love the cartoony over the topness. The colourful characters - and slightly crazy special effects - they all add up to make a ...

No More April Fools

Thumbnail : No More April Fools

In my younger days (yes, I'm sounding old), April 1st was a day to look forward to. A time of joy and innocent jokes.

Well no more. Over the last 3 or 4 years April Fools day has slowly become one of my least favorite days online. It's a day when everyone with a blog or website suddenly decides they have a sense of humour and it's time to share it with everyone else.

All of the jokes have gone from ...

Toy Story 1, 2 and 3

Thumbnail : Toy Story 1, 2 and 3

I'll be honest - I'm posting this because I was sent free copies of the recently re-released Toy Story 1 and 2 movies (Blu-Ray and DVD of both films). I was very close to turning it down - I don't like to advertise too much on here - but it's the Toy Story films... 2 of the best examples of animated story telling ever.

The discs themselves have everything and more that you could ...

February Film Reviews

Recently I have been getting back into watching movies. I have a whole stack of them to catch up on and I am now finally reducing the stack. 3 of the films I watched in February were, Kung Fu Panda, The Invention of Lying, and The Soloist. Read the article for mini reviews of each.

Back and Forward: Plans for 2010

Of my 'goals' in 2009 I only officially finished half. This year I plan to do better.

I mentioned that I wanted to release 4 themes, of which I actually released 2 Mimbo Pro 2 and theme framework. Of the others, Regulus Pro is on hold and the Prologue style theme is banished into obscurity - however some of the code will be showing up on WPVote.

This year I plan to:

Get married Blog more - particularly WordPress hints, ...

Get Your Google Wave Invites Here

Thumbnail : Get Your Google Wave Invites Here

I got a Google Wave invite a few weeks ago and was quite excited to use it. To be honest though the initial excitement wore off quite quickly, but now Google have given me a bunch of invites, and they keep giving me more, currently I have 25 to give out.

So - the first 25 people to comment on this post will get a Google Wave invite.

I ...

Bruno

Thumbnail : Bruno

If I can tell you one thing about Bruno it's this.

Don't watch Bruno on an iPod Touch on the train on the way to work.

There's too much to describe in Bruno, it's a whirlwind of cringe inducing moments with a fair amount of male nudity. If you've seen Borat then you know what to expect... only you need to amp up the 'shock' moments.

Sasha Baron-Cohen is clearly going out of his way to cause controversy. He knew ...
