Ocean’s Twelve

The sequel to Ocean’s Eleven (which itself was a remake) comes with a stunning cast and crew, loads of gloss and some cool editing and production. It lacks however much of the charm of the earlier one. I found this a little annoying at times, there’s some good stuff in here but it doesn’t hold […]

Assault on Precinct 13

Remake time here – this one is an update/reworking of the John Carpenter classic from 1976. I like the original so didn’t hold out much hope here. The plot has been developed more and wasn’t too bad, in fact it was tense in places – all in all it was good. The last scene which […]

Piranha

Joe Dante’s 1978 classic killer fish movie. Has a secret military base that have been breeding mutant piranha fish that are unwittingly let loose into the river network. Of course there are more people swimming and playing in the river that day than any other. I love these movies… DVD R2 Colour ***

Las Vegas

Caught up with a couple of episodes of Las Vegas. Episodes 2.2 and 2.3. Cool. Sky Colour ****

Driller Killer

Seemed appropiate after the previous movie. Abel Ferrara’s movie about a guy who slips into madness due to various pressures and a punk band that rehearse next door. This was before cordless drills yet he seems to do his stuff around the place without having to plug in at all… not noticed that before! DVD […]

Along Came Polly

Another Ben Stiller movie – this is an entertaining romcom with Stiller playing the usual loser character and Jennifer Aniston doing her usual thing. For some unknown reason it also featured a ferret. In fact the only interesting extra on the DVD is a programme about the ferret making it to the premiere. really. DVD […]

24

Double bill which starts off Day Four for Jack Bauer. He was only in CTU for 10mins before he sneaked into a holding room and shot some dude in the leg… maybe he needs a day off. Sky Colour ***

Meet the Fockers

Big budget follow up to Meet the Parents, which didn’t really end in a I-need-a-sequal kind of way. It’s a lot of jokes based on the surname as you’d expect, although the material is thin Hoffman and co deliver some amusing characters but it could have been better. UGC Cinema Colour ***
