Sorry for the delay in reviews and such, due to study commitments I have been pretty busy. Now that I have some time, look out for some new reviews. I will be looking to expand my reviews into music as well, a bit of diversity never hurts.

 RamboJanuary 15th 2008 03:29
Rambo Trailer Fresh off his success in Rocky Balboa, Sylvester Stallone follows up with another addition in a legendary franchise… Rambo. This one looks to be uncompromising, it wont be for the weak of stomach. I’m looking forward to being in line to see this one. Sly is coming back in a monumental way, and it is satisfying for this avid Rocky fan. Rumors persist that there may be a role in the next Terminator film. If only Arnie wasn’t in political office, we could have had Rocky/Rambo VS Terminator/Kindergarten Cop…..what a match up. Release Dates USA - Jan 25 Australia - Feb 21 UK - Feb 22

Spiderman 3 and the rise of the mediocreJanuary 9th 2008 23:24
 Rise of the mediocre
Spiderman 3, where do I begin? Too many bad guys not enough characterization, moronic transformations – did you know Spiderman is emo? This movie is unbelievable bad, how could Sam Raimi make something this terrible? Did he have too much money to play with? Did he realise people are going to watch crap, no matter how it is served up to them? Movies are rushed out, sequels commissioned at a drop of the hat. Art and creativity has been lost as economics, and business acumen take over. Movies are seen as investments by studios, as goes with investments you play the safe bet, something predictable, something stable. This leads to movies being soft, soulless vehicles designed merely for profit. Where does the fault lay? Writers put their heart and soul into a script that they have painstakingly worked over, just to have its guts ripped later down the line. Directors need the studios money to produce the movies, making a suck fest to pay the bills is better than not making a movie at all. Movie Studios have to satisfy the stakeholders, who wants to risk millions of dollars on something that is not certain of success? And of course there is the movie fan, the general public, the Joe Blow who goes to the cinema pays up his 15 bucks for a ticket, in the hope they will be entertained. Looking at the box offices success of some decidedly average movies, people will watch anything. Good movies don’t get the attention they deserve while mass marketed garbage rakes in the millions. Welcome to capitalism folks.
