About Me

Film is another medium on telling stories and a good story leaves an impact on you. People tend to think I’m hard to please and should accept it to what it is. There are lists of films out there; if it has been done better before, then I expect it to bring something new or at least seem fresh and interesting. There are very few filmmakers that really stand-out in this generation, and a lot of memorable filmmakers from the past I love and adore. Here are the following personal favourite filmmakers (past and present);

(Note: In alphabetical order)

Paul Thomas Anderson – Darren Aronofsky – Kathryn Bigelow – Neill Blomkamp – James Cameron – Joel & Ethan Coen – David Cronenberg – David Fincher – Paul Greengrass – Alfred Hitchcock – Alejandro González Iñárritu – Stanley Kubrick – Terrence Malick – Michael Mann – Christopher Nolan – Martin Scorsese – Ridley Scott – Steven Spielberg – Quentin Tarantino – Edgar Wright

Red-dawn--4

Red Dawn

Completely misses the point or shouldn't even be made to begin with!? This is a movie built to bring in nostalgia dollars without any respect or creativity behind it. Chris Hemsworth can't save this tripe as much he wants to and the rest of the cast are uncharismatic (thus can't get invested with them). The whole film wants to be gritty but it is completely tame compared to the original. Avoid at all costs!!!

Hey you! I'm fine, how'bout yourself? The last great movies I've seen recently are Carnage and Romance & Cigarettes. They're both funny, entertaining and have some good performances. What about you ? I see you made it to Canada, so how do you like living there ?

Yea definitely, I was very surprised when Hooper won, I was almost sure that David was gonna win. I think TSN is better than TKS too! I rooted for Roger Deakins as well but then again I'm glad it went to Inception.

I think that The King's Speech is wining this year, I voted for Inception.

This is probably now my favourite Star Trek film. Unlike the Star Wars prequels; this had good story, cast and dialogue that doesn’t make you cringe.

The cast of Star Trek looks great, but Chris…  read review

The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight

Fans, audiences and critics have all been waiting for Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins sequel, many obviously predicting the villain will be the Joker (hint from the ending of the first film). Though…  read review

Memento

Memento

It is one of Christopher Nolan’s best films. A thriller with a character whose not your type of character for thrillers. He has short-term memory loss, so the only way to remember is take polaroid…  read review
