Casino Royale Review

Posted on November 20, 2006 by Arcterex

I ended up seeing the late show of Casino Royale on Friday night, while doing my best to beat back the oncoming cold that knocked me out all weekend and leaves me home today from work (though still somehow working). I have to say I haven’t been to a movie in a while, and this …

“Herbie Fully Loaded” Mini-Review

Posted on November 12, 2006 by Arcterex

In a fit of bordom and tiredness we watched Herbie Fully Loaded, the latest incarnation in the Herbie series of films. Other than a minor diversion trying to see when they had digitally de-enhanced Lindsay Lohan’s boobs. Other than that the movie was about as plain and cliche as you can get. There really wasn’t …

A Good WW1 Flying Movie?

Posted on July 24, 2006 by Arcterex

I’ve always loved WWI planes and related, WWI flying movies such as The Blue Max…. looks like they are seeing if they can do it again with this age’s advanced CGI… I saw a trailer for a new movie called Flyboys, based on a true story (well, technically “inspired by a true story” which means …

Walk the Line Review

Posted on May 10, 2006 by Arcterex

Finished watching Walk the Line today, the movie about Johnny Cash‘s life. Great movie. Not great on the level of Spiderman or a really kick ass action movie, but great for a drama and a “human” story. I completely understand why Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for the Award, and why Reese Witherspoon won. I loved …

Friday Movie Reviews

Posted on May 7, 2006 by Arcterex

Last friday Firefly and I headed into the depths of downtown Vancouver to hang out with my buddy Shawn and watched a couple of movies. Other than getting home at half past 2am, it was a nice relaxing night. We watched a couple of movies, one I saw before, one I hadn’t. Æon Flux I …

A Free Idea for the MPAA

Posted on March 28, 2006 by Arcterex

The MPAA has long been bitching about the evil internet pirates stealing from their movies instead of going to a theatre, spending $15 on a ticket, $20 on popcorn and a drink, sitting for a half hour waiting for the movie to start watching ads, then watching another 3-7 ads once the lights go down, …

Narnia Offensive?

Posted on December 5, 2005 by Arcterex

My $ex-boss gilgamesh has a good thought or three on an article about how offensive the movie Narnia – The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe is to non-christians, and how they will need a ‘sickbag’ handy at the religious undertones. First of all I believe that this woman, Polly Toynbee has written this article …

My Doom The Movie Experience

Posted on October 22, 2005 by Arcterex

Well I saw Doom last night. I knew it was going to be bad, and I went anyway, and it was great(ly bad) 🙂 Don’t go in there expecting anything more than a fun space romp, monsters jumping out at you, a storyline thinner than uhmm… something really thin, and big guns blowing stuff up. …
