MEN IN BLACK 3: A Review

May 24th 2012 09:32
I loved Men in Black, it was amazing - I got to play the Australian premiere of it to Will Smith, I got to go to the after party and watch him dance the song with all the MIB dancers. I didn't like MIB2 as much but it allowed me to re-enter the universe of the Men In Black. Did they need to make a third film in the franchise? Not really? Is the story amazing and worthy of a comeback? Not really BUT again it was fun and amazing to see the universe come back and see the guys do their stuff.

In Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back...in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.

Smith and Jones easily walk back into their roles and I just love their odd chemistry. This one lacks the humour of the first two but I really enjoyed the storyline and time loop that is revealed at the end - I was actually crying and thought it was touching and explained everything about them and why they are who they are. I thought that was really clever.

I missed having Tommy Lee Jones in the entire film but Josh Brolin made this movie - he owned the role and nailed the younger K and then the fact that Emma Thompson was in it as O made my day - she is easily one of my favourite actors out there.

Barry Sonnenfeld delivers a solid film that just sticks to the theme - there is no "taking it to the next level", no introducing some big time nemesis, just deliver enough for it to make money. Originally Sacha Baron Cohen was up for the role of Boris but this never eventuated and even Betty White was going to make an appearance. This film won't break any box office records but if you liked the first two you will enjoy it. It is hard not to like Will Smith - he is so charismatic and humorous. Like him a lot - pity about his spoilt brat kid

MIBIII released today in Australia and the 3D isn't too bad - check it out as you could do much worse. Worth a nice 7 out of 10 for me.

I don't know where to begin with this as it was possibly the most bizarre cinema experience I have ever had. No one will deny that this is close to the worst film ever made - even the director agrees - his speech consisted of "lower your expectations" and that was all he said. It was some kind of prank/ joke from Merrick and Triple M to elevate this film to a high status. The movie has been turned away from every film festival in the world, so Merrick & The Highway Patrol wanted to get behind this tiny Aussie film by rolling out the red carpet and giving it the premiere it deserved!

Nullarbor Nymph, Doug Feary, Scott Whitecross, Jessica Sterling


The Nullarbor Nymph was made in the small Aussie town of Ceduna and stars mainly local farmers. The film's director Mathew Wilkinson had to clean toilets to fund this cinematic masterpiece.

The Nullabor Nymph movie has been elevated to the legendary status it deserves, with the red carpet premiere event SELLING OUT in a cool twenty minutes! According to Hoyts, this makes it their fastest selling session ever! I am a bit confused at this considering my tickets were all free

Nullarbor Nymph, Doug Feary, Scott Whitecross, Jessica Sterling


'The Nullarbor Nymph' is a mockumentary following two Water Australia employees as they travel across the Nullarbor Plain, only to be hunted down by the Nullarbor Nymph, a mythical blonde temptress with a taste for destruction. It is based in fact on a hoax perpetrated in a small outback town that scored international notoriety and had press flooding to the town.

Now while this film is hideous due to some sickness that overcame the audience it was entertaining and all the local B graders turned up - the Bondi Rescue boys were there and sadly they now seem to be a posse or tossers - such a shame Maxxie, such a shame - my fantasy relationship is now over.

Nullarbor Nymph, Doug Feary, Scott Whitecross, Jessica Sterling


The first 20mins had me twitching and overly restless and wondering how I would survive but then I noticed the rest of the audience was doing the same thing and on later consideration it hit me that everyone was getting their head around how bad it was and once they knew they were watching the worst acting in history with the most ridiculous dialogue it then became a fun time with everyone cheering and wondering how the characters would be killed.

Nullarbor Nymph, Doug Feary, Scott Whitecross, Jessica Sterling


This film would impress Tarantino I think. It is Z grade Ozploitation Grindhouse RAW. And it really does have an appeal to it. I have never seen acting so bad, except Scott Whitecross, who I really liked. Then there was Doug Feary who we get to see every inch of and the nymph herself, Jessica Sterling, who I didn't find attractive at all and who was repulsive as the bad nymph but has somehow managed to be invited to the Playboy mansion since the film and the fact we get to see her eat a penis was quite a turn off hahaha

Nullarbor Nymph, Doug Feary, Scott Whitecross, Jessica Sterling


Add to that we all got greeted by girls dressed as the nymph and got the weirdest gift bags for attending ever. They contained Domestos toilet cleaner, chux wipes, rubber gloves, a mountain bike magazine t-shirt, chewing gum, a mother drink, some cool hair conditioner and body wash, a Hoyts Rewards card and a can of mother - I was just stoked the rubber gloves were a medium size

This film will never get a cinema release or a dvd release probably - if you want a Z grade Ozploitation film then look online. It was a fun night with Tobias, Clairebear and her friend and thanks to Triple M for a bizarre experience. The film is worth a 3/10 but the experience was a good 7 - combined the evening was a 5 out of 10.

Baz is BACK people and this is just bloody mind blowing - it is like Romeo and Juliet has a baby with Gatsby.

Baz Luhrmann, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton


From the uniquely imaginative mind of writer/producer/director Baz Luhrmann comes the new big screen adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, The Great Gatsby. The filmmaker will create his own distinctive visual interpretation of the classic story, bringing the period to life in a way that has never been seen before, in a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role. The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super-rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

Baz Luhrmann, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton


Acting, cinematography and the power of it - I am speachless. Leo - screw acting with Scorcese - Baz has just given you that lucrative Oscar!! The Great Gatsby releases on Christmas Day and I could not have asked for a better present.

Sony Pictures and MGM have released the first trailer for the 23rd James Bond movie, Skyfall, and you can watch it below!

I thought they could have released a copy with better sound - I will update it as soon as one with a better sound comes out - but you get the point and it looks mind blowing - I cannot wait

ACT OF VALOR: A Review

May 16th 2012 07:43
What a waste of two hours this one was - bloody appalling.

It's the big hyped Navy Seals film starring real life Navy Seals in an action jammed gun fest that will supposedly make COD players cream their pants. What you really get is some decent cinematography with a bunch of card board cutouts with less personality than my wallpaper in a film that has a plot far worse than any Van Damme film - in fact I was longing for Van Damme

THE DICTATOR: A Review

May 15th 2012 23:42
Sacha Baron Cohen is an idiot. He has the most twisted sense of humour and chooses only to make the films he would like to see. He is a film shock jock and gets off by going too far. Dear Sacha, PLEASE stick to things like HUGO, your acting is amazing but your own sense of humour is in requirement of institutionalising. I am appalled he would pull out of Tarantino's Django Unchained to promote this film - WWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYY??????

Thanks for the comment anonymous but I disagree - the article explains the origins - the pocket out in prison showed who took it up the butt or who was fine being a bitch but the sagging started because prisoners were not allowed belts - it developed from there.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day
