A solid comedy in the American Pie mold with some memorable performances and some serious laugh out loud moments.
Rush Hour
A typical buddy-cop movie for fans of Jackie Chan or Chris Tucker (are there any?) only.
Aliens (Special Edition)
The additional footage extends and enhances what is already a genre-defining action sci-fi flick and although these days the movie looks dated it’s impossible to deny the impact it had on subsequent films, giving it a deserved place in movie history.
WordPress
I’m quite liking WordPress I have to say. I’ve still got to get comfortable with the HUGE font used in the admin pages, I’m very much a ‘small font’ man myself, but otherwise the installation was trivial and it’s clean and simple to use. As always, took me a while to find a theme I liked for www.onelinemoviereviews.co.uk but once I did it was easy to change to my liking.
Which makes me wonder if I should finally replace www.darkstorm.co.uk/tony with a WordPress setup and move the blogger stuff over? WordPress promises it can migrate blogger posts (not tested it yet), and I do feel happier if I’m in control of my own data, rather than blogger holding onto it. Blogger has been great, but there’s a few things I want to be able to do which I can’t and I just have this nagging feeling of worry that my posts (without value as they are) are stored somewhere that I don’t have any direct access to.
Maybe I will, who knows. The bit that interests me a lot about WordPress in this regard is that it supports static ‘content’ in the form of pages as well as blog entries. This matches almost exactly what I custom wrote originally for the perception is truth site at www.darkstorm.co.uk/tony, and it’d be nice to convert that across into something which is easier to support and maintain.
Planet of the Apes
With a slow and linear story this 2001 version was generally disappointing and the ending left me frustrated and unsatisfied.
A Knight’s Tale
Top notch dialog and characters lifts this otherwise simple story out of the average and into the superb with the unforgettable performances from Paul Bettany (Chaucer) and Alan Tudyk (Wat) simply providing icing on the cake.
X-Men
By spending too long introducing the characters, X-Men misses the mark and goes from what could have been a superb action movie to what is basically an average bland and flawed action movie.
One line movie reviews ….
Check them out, another vanity project from yours truly (www.onelinemoviereviews.co.uk) that probably won’t go anywhere or last more than five minutes 😉
Still, gave me a chance to register what I think is a cool URL, and mess about with WordPress.
Ha!
I managed it, no second cob for me! I’d like to thank everyone who helped me through this difficult period.
Pitch Black
An exciting and thrilling movie with enough scares to keep you on the edge of your seat and enough sarcastic banter to keep the most bitter of movie fans engaged, well worth watching.
