Lifeforce

Posted on September 24, 2009 by OGR

There are two reasons to watch Lifeforce, and only two, and they both reside on the upper body of an actress named Mathilda May, who plays “Space Girl”. (That’s what imdb says, I looked it up to find her name.) … Continue reading →

Funny People

Posted on September 22, 2009 by OGR

I’ve been putting off writing about Funny People hoping my recollections would blur a little and I might realise it is better than I thought, only it really isn’t. I am an Apatow fan, The 40 Year Old Virgin is … Continue reading →

Memento

Posted on September 18, 2009 by OGR

Movie promoters nowadays go one of two ways, they either want to remind you of other popular (usually better) films or attempt to convince you to see their film by saying it is different to anything else that you’ve ever … Continue reading →

Young Guns

Posted on September 16, 2009 by OGR

No not the Wham song, that I strangely sing in my head every time I see the title, even though I’m (probably) not (mostly) gay at all (mostly). The reputation of this film has not fared well over 20+ years … Continue reading →

Internet Dating

Posted on September 14, 2009 by OGR

Equilibrium

Posted on September 11, 2009 by OGR

I hate it when I have seen a film and six months later am told by a friend that “You have to watch “X”, it’s brilliant!” I then have the inevitable second guessing process that goes along with such a … Continue reading →

Blade 2

Posted on September 9, 2009 by OGR

I knew about Guillermo Del Toro before he made Blade 2, but I didn’t really have much of an opinion about him positive or negative, he’d made a couple of OK films, promising but not groundbreaking stuff. When Blade 2 … Continue reading →

Ghostbusters

Posted on September 7, 2009 by OGR
