James Bond Re-Runs

Ian Fleming created his legacy, and it continues until current times. I don’t think there is a person who doesn’t enjoy 007 in general. Showmovies Action have recently been putting re-runs of all the Bond movies and anytime i see them on i have to start watching. Probably the worst Bond movies were Pierce Brosnan’s even though he had potential to play the part. And maybe the worst casted Bond was Timothy Dalton. Sean Connery and Roger Moore were great, though I am enjoying Daniel Craig in this new role. He has given Bond a new refreshing and “badass” feel. Gotta love those Bond movies.

Avatar IMAX 3D Now Showing *UPDATED*

I didn’t realize this earlier, but it seems that the problem that cinescape had with their projectors is fixed. I was checking the website freqently but when I saw the message above, I assoumed it was the notice that the 3D version is not showing. It’s not until I saw “Avatar IMAX 3D” in the dropdown menu that I realized that they are showing it.

Seems that my plans for Dubai are on hold at the moment.

UPDATE

Just saw the movie in 360 Mall. I really enjoyed it, and also recommend it. I didn’t feel the need of the 3D version, hardly saw any 3D scenes. It’s worth going there just for the IMAX experience.

Sherlock Holmes – Movie Review

I went to see the the movie today at the Avenues Mall. I arrived a little late, this was bound to happen during the weekend.

The movie was great I absolutely loved it (maybe because I’m a big fan of Sherlock Holmes to start with). I am loving almost everything Robert Downey Jr. is doing at the moment. So I definitely recommend it.

The movie is directed by Guy Ritchie, who also directed “Snatch” and “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels”

Hot Tub Time Machine

Its been a long time coming since the last idiotic time machine movie, remember Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure (& Bogus Journey)? But in those movies i doubt they were really acting as opposed to just being themselves. This is going to be on my to-watch list for 2010!

Avatar – Review

I went to watch Avatar on Friday after hearing alot about it without really reading much. All i knew was that it was a James Cameron movie and the most expensive of all time, and sci-fi based. I am not the biggest sci-fi fan. I appreciated the idea behind District 9 but at times thought it was too far fetched and just silly. Not to say that Avatar is not far fetched, its just different. First of all, graphically, its like nothing any of us has ever seen before. The colors, the images and the scenes are out of this world, literally. There is the whole underlined meaning of global warming/green peace/save the world, as well as the curiosity most people have of other life forms. Its a very long movie, but the action scenes and twists in the storyline keep you interested all the way to the end. James Cameron has a very vivid imagination to be able to think up a story like this and implement it onto the screen. Great movie, a must-see even for non sci-fi fans.

2012 – Movie Review

Went to 2012 at 360 mall yesterday, I tweeted about it, but if you’re not following my tweets here is what I think of the movie:

Some of the action/destruction scenes were horrible, they looked very cheap and it was disturbing.

The main concept of the story is cool but the dialog and the script were stupid. And to some extent the acting was bad.

I really had high expectations for the movie and thats why I’m hard in this review, but after thinking about it I’ll give it a higher rating than I gave it yesterday.

Childhood memories all washed down the drain.  From their comics, to their animated movies and of course their actions figures. I had them all, and loved them all. So about 18 years later when i found out there is a movie about them, i did get excited. And so quickly did that excitement turn into disappointment. Continue Reading
