Genre:
Action & Adventure
If you like your movies action packed, with shit flying everywhere, then this film is for you!
First, I would like to complain about the movie facility. We went to Hoyts in Carousel and chose to go La Premiere. This basically equated to over-priced tickets so you can sit in over-stuffed chairs and [...]
Quarantine (2008)
Category:
Movies
Genre:
Horror
OH. MY. GOD.
Quarantine had me on the edge of my seat and even though I saw it last week, I am still, today, apologising to Geof for squeezing his hand so tight.
This movie revolves around a reporter Angela Vidal (Jennifer Carpenter of Dexter fame- she plays the character of Debra, Dexter’s sister) and her cameraman, [...]
Les Miserables
Category:
Musical
I went and saw Les Miserables last night with my mother and it was a real eye-opener and I learned a couple of things, which is always nice.
For those that don’t know, the musical is based on the 1862 novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. Set in early 19th-century France, it follows the intertwining stories [...]
Star Trek (2009)
Category:
Movies
Genre:
Science Fiction & Fantasy
1996 was a good year for me.
It was the year that I first fell in love with a Star Trek movie and that movie was First Contact with the cast of The Next Generation.
The whole Kirk/Spock business annoyed the absolute hell out of me in both the series and the movies and [...]
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
Category:
Movies
Genre:
Science Fiction & Fantasy
I read the reviews and I heard the bitching, but I really enjoyed the movie.
To be fair and totally impartial, I watched both movies back to back and both have their merits, but the whiny babies who thought it was cool to compare the two and find the latest movie wanting were [...]
Bio of a Space Tyrant

Author:
Piers Anthony
Easily the Holy Grail of my book list, I have been on the search for this 5 part epic (they cheated by bringing out a sixth book) for many many years as it’s out of print and rare as rockin’ horse shit – unless you cheat via Amazon.
I finally found the [...]

Category:
Movies
Genre:
Action & Adventure
We all went to see Journey to the Center of the Earth last night (thank youuuuuuu mum, dad and half price Tuesday nights!!!). It stars Brendan Fraser and the story centres around Trevor (Fraser) and his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson of Bridge to Terabithia fame) – a typical teenage boy who loves his [...]
The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)
Category:
Movies
Genre:
Action & Adventure
There have been a lot of changes in between Mummy 2 and Mummy 3, with the most important change being the fact that Alex is all grown up now (and, might I add, Luke Ford looks a LOT like Michael C Hall from Dexter fame). Other changes… Evie has had a massive MASSIVE [...]
Diary of the Dead (2008)

Movies

Horror
Probably one of the best movies in its genre, Diary of the Dead documents the death of the world as seen through the eyes of University students armed with a couple of video cameras and the Internet.
Jason Creed, his girlfriend Debra, their professor and a handful of other students take to the road in order [...]
