Ranting

During my recent trip to the theatre to watch The Avengers I was reminded of something I’ve come to hate with modern movies.  No it’s not the car commercials or those turn off your cell phone ads that no one listens to anyway, it’s modern movie trailers.

The Avengers - Early Thoughts

Well I’ve decided to start going to see some superheroes movies in the run up to the release of The Dark Knight Rises.  So let’s take a look at the latest release with Marvel’s characters.  As always my review will contain full spoilers.

 

 

Let’s Review a Movie: The Lorax (2012)

Well this has been a rather polarizing film and honestly I find myself in a most hated position, right smack in the middle of opinions.

Let’s Review a Movie: The Lorax (1972)

Well with a new remake out let’s take a look back at the first attempt to adapt this Seuss work from book to screen.

Let’s Review a Movie: 101 Dalmatians (1961)

It’s time to look at what was my favourite Disney movie for the early part of my childhood.  It was later usurped by a movie from the Disney Renaissance, but that’s for another time. 

Let’s Review a Movie: The Jungle Book (1967)

In 1967 the last film ever to be produced under the personal hand of Walt Disney was released to theatres.  During The Jungle Book’s production Walt Disney told the people working on it not to read the book it was based on.  Well old Uncle Walt is getting his wish because I haven’t read the original book, and so this review will be looking at this movie entirely as a standalone project.  

Let's Review a Movie: The Rescuers (1977)

Released in 1977 The Rescuers is Disney’s twenty-third full length animated feature.  Telling the story of two mice, Bernard and Bianca, who go to rescue a young girl named Penny from the clutches of the evil Madame Medusa.   This unfortunately is a movie that hasn’t aged well for me.

Fancomic: Star Trek Horizon

Star Trek Fancomic Intro

So what does a fancomic with its roots in a 60's television show have to do with cinema?  The short answer: nothing.

Let's Review a Movie: Rear Window (1954)

Well since I spent last month ranting about a movie that was all style and no substance, I’m going to spend this month talking about a film that is all about style and substance.
