20 Second Music Reviews – 1st Half 2009

Posted on June 30, 2009 by OGR

K, we’re now 6 months into 2009. I haven’t bothered saying much about music as I now buy CDs so infrequently these days (at least compared to the 90s when I bought one a week at least), but over the … Continue reading →

Iron Man

Posted on June 29, 2009 by OGR

I know that it is fairly well documented by now, but apparently Robert Downey Jr wasn’t supposed to play Tony Stark / Iron Man, now that I’ve watched it a couple times I can’t imagine anyone else having a crack … Continue reading →

Year One

Posted on June 29, 2009 by OGR

                  Dunno if many people bother going to the video shop anymore, I know my two local stores both closed and the nearest store that is any good is now 10 ks … Continue reading →

The Hangover

Posted on June 29, 2009 by OGR

                  Firstly what I can tell you, and what you already know if you’ve seen the preview anyway. As The Hangover is basically “Blotto Memento”, and unfolds back to front I can’t … Continue reading →

Drag Me To Hell

Posted on June 29, 2009 by OGR

Cool poster too. Mixed feelings here.  First up I’m stoked that after a decade of making paint by numbers Spiderman stuff Sam Raimi is coming home to the genre that made him. I also hoped that my one reader (where … Continue reading →

Two Guys Arguing Preview – Star Trek By OGR

Posted on June 22, 2009 by OGR

Up

Posted on June 17, 2009 by OGR

  You shouldn’t love a company should you? I have a lot of Nike stuff, some Reebok shoes that I really like and drink Coke (and Johnnie Walker) too frequently for my long term health, and have done since I … Continue reading →

Friday the 13th. (2009 “Killer Cut” edition)

Posted on June 17, 2009 by OGR

Remakes. Reboots. Reimaginings. Retarded! Does anyone make anything original anymore?  Doesn’t matter when it makes-a-da-cash *. I haven’t yet bothered looking back to see when horror started being obviously profitable for studios but I reckon it was about 5 years … Continue reading →

I Love You, Man

Posted on June 11, 2009 by OGR

The strength of I Love You, Man (ILYM) isn’t so much the plot, which is the same as most really good comedies. The strength of ILYM is the jokes silly! It also helps that the jokes and lines are delivered … Continue reading →

Terminator Salvation

Posted on June 11, 2009 by OGR
