28 Weeks Later... 4.5 Stars
If its not the Aliens of the series it is at least the Ghostbusters II. AWESOME. silly moments with helicopters aside, this movie is way less cliche than the original and yeah. totally rocks.

and plus it doesnt totally rip plot elements off every cool sf book out.

So many drugs, but hilarous and awesome. the rotoscoping looks excellent and really sets the tone of the whole thing. woody harrelson was class. the RDJ was his usual smart fasttalkingness.

GODD STUFF

Batman (1989,  PG-13)
Batman 3.0 Stars
Jack Nicholson was awesome. perhaps a little too stylised on the whole tho, making it rather tedious for anyone wanting a shred of seriuosness.

Batman Returns 3.5 Stars
much better than Burtons first outing. this is just about the least annoying Danny DeVtio has ever been. so yeah. that was nice. liked the atmospherics. and Tim Burtons signature snow. always a crowd pleaser, that stuff.

this movie is awesome. its just so new zealandery. the greenies were hilarious, the sheep were vicious and the plot was fallacious; brilliant.

Brick 4.5 Stars
a really nice bit of work, some solid direction and a grrreat cast come together really well.

one thing i learned tho; dont ever describe it as a high school detective movie. it does Brick a gross injustice. if you get the idea... kinda.

The Bride of Frankenstein 5.0 Stars
SEQUEL, GOOD.

awesome movie. better than the terrific original in so many ways. its just disappointing james whale didnt get another chance to make more movies like this.

my only complaint would be the lack of the titular charachter. shes only in the last 3 mins. classic look but still, a bit of a waste.

Oh yeah. Awesome movie. i think the setting was the best aspect. its really absorbing. itll be very interesting to see ow the production design dates... some nice plot things going on too. although some of the motivations were a little under explained.

Quite a patchy piece of work. there is a lot of the usual Tarantino sitting around talking. which is allright. but then its starts to drag. which is a shame. but never mind that, its all quickly forgotten when everyone goes nuts on the road. AWESOME.

That is some mad action. Zoe Bell was awesome.

entertaining and watchable. a classic in every sense. neverltheless it is thouroughly let down by some terrible bats and two inexplicable armadillos. what kind of in-joke is that?
...oh and look out for lucy's plot hole. shows what happens when you make a movie based on a play based on a book and have a director that hates.

Not quite the ultimate masterpiece i had expected. not that its bad, on the contrary it is wildly entertaining with plenty of crazy stuff going on to keep it interesting. some nice effects and a great setting. Lee Van Cleef is awesome.

The trailer claims it has better effects than hollywood. and it delivers.

It still looks awesome with some of the most convincing miniature sets ive ever seen.

the plot is delightfully insane. everything stays just on the right side of cliche.

And then, of course, there is the subtext.

Its all fairly obvious.
