A fresh start

8:14 PM
Well back at work today finally! My first day at my new job was a little slow, what with the mountain of paperwork and documentation to surmount first, but by the end of the day I've got project work to do, and I'm ready to get into it tomorrow. What a change it is to work for a proper professional outfit, instead of...

Highlander

I really wanted to see this film when I came out, but was told no because it looked too violent. Cue my disappointment and a few years of waiting before I finally got to see it. And damn it was worth the wait. It's a really good film, original, and beautifully told. Although I wish the studios hadn't tried to make a franchise...

Eraser

Another reasonably standard Arnie actioner. It's pretty good, and only let down slightly by some dodgy CG croc's in the zoo sequence. I suppose they were pretty advanced for the time, but they don't look very real. Otherwise, there's some good action sequences, and some humor. Recommended if your passing it in the cheapie bin, or just an Ahnuld fan.Plot Synopsis:Special Agent John...

Star Trek: First Contact

Simply the absolute best Next Generation film. Nothing more to say really. My favourite from this series. Everything is just perfect. Great story, effects, action, everyone has something to do. If there's only one change I'd make, I'd have loved to have seen more of the space battle. More ships, more battle, more... It's something we haven't really seen from the Star Trek...

Star Trek: Nemesis

A bit of a mixed bag this installment. Probably not as bad as has been made out, but some elements just don't sit right. I can't fathom why Data seems to have a death-wish in this film. He volunteers to sacrifice himself twice when there's no real reason, and there's probably still alternatives to death. It's almost like he's suicidal or something? Obviously...

Executive Decision

10:32 AM
Actually a pretty good film. I saw this when it came out, back in the days when I could still afford to go to the movies. It's pretty notable for Steven Seagal being killed early on in the movie. It's fun enough with some good action and plot twists. Recommended, and worth a purchase if you pass it in the $7 bin.Plot Synopsis:US...

Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith

7:25 PM
This is probably the best of the prequel trilogy. There is plenty of action, some horrific plot twists, good character interaction. Overall the acting is better, the effects are outstanding. Sure the dialog is still a bit clunky, but personally I just tell myself that Lucas was going for a sort of 'oldey' time language. Sort of the later trilogy is more modern...
