Home - Eco Political Poetry
2 commentsThe film Home is the poetic equivalent of An Inconvenient Truth. While An Inconvenient Truth compiled data and showed graphs and experts, Home relies on a series of beautiful aerial photos from all over the globe accompanied by music and a poetic prose history of climate change. The imagery is truly magnificent and even the desolate and destructive...
keep readingAngels & Demons; Non Sequitur
My memory is hard pressed to compare Angels & Demons with its predecessor the Da Vinci Code, because the Da Vinci Code was so unmemorable, but on that score they are probably quite equal. The audience is set up for severe disappointment, if they as I sensed tones of Indiana Jones, when Professor Langdon is summoned from Harvard to help the Vati...

I have often heard people praise Star Trek, but until now I had never seen any of the movies, and only a few television episode clips. So walking into the theater I was primed to expect quality science fiction, but I was disappointed. In the endless Star Trek vs Star Wars discussions I got the sense that we were comparing apples and french fries, b...

For myself and the other 17 hard core Dragonball franchise fans that exist on this green earth, the release of a live action movie based on the long running series was either going to move the fans to tears or make them cry. I sat amongst the former and had tears of joy streaming down my muscular cheeks, even before the pre movie advertisements beg...

I love the way one thing leads to another in life, and you just really never know when you start an adventure just how or where you will end up. For example, who knew that when I met Jason C., Debbie L. and Rachel H. at Fondas for happy hour, we would take a mini-sex trek across town to disprove or confirm a rumor Debbie heard about Secrets Adult S...

I'll admit, I'm not a fan of Will Smith. It's nothing personal against the guy, it's just I think he doesn't have much in the way of range. There are 2 exceptions to this 'rule' though, and that is for his performances in Ali and 6 degrees of separation, both of which saw him actually be a character, not just be - you know - Will Smith. During t...

Just in case you thought Google didn't already know enough about you, here is another reason to be paranoid. In all fairness Google Latitude isn't as invasive as it might seem, so let me explain a little about the search behemoths latest service. Google Latitude, as the name almost implies, is a mobile (or computer) application that lets you sha...

I've deliberately held back reviewing Far Cry 2 for one simple reason: I was not completely sure if I liked or disliked it. Having immensely enjoyed the first Far Cry I was expecting more of the same in the second game, and technically that's what I got. But there was something I that irked me, something I couldn't put my finger on until recently. ...

Clint Eastwood has said that his performance in Gran Torino is most likely the last time he will step in front of the camera, which is a sad prospect to accept. Even at the ripe old age of 78, Eastwood still knows how to direct and act in amazing films. Gran Torino is no exception, and you owe it to yourself to see the man in what maybe his last...

Apparently horror films can be dull. Mirrors is an American remake of a 2003 Korean film called 'Into the mirror', which if the comments on many sites are to be believed is a much better film. Then when is a remake ever better? The premise sounded a little interesting. A young girl with schizophrenia is strapped and locked into a mirrored room a...
