I went to the red carpet of The Dark Knight European Premiere yesterday and took some nice snaps of Christian Bale, The Tumbler, and many other interesting actors and fans.

My Massive 20-Word-Movie-Review #4

Posted on July 13th, 2008

Wanted (2008)

I loved the comic, but unfortunately the film is only loosely based on it. Could have been way more interesting.

Wall-E (2008)

Possibly my favorite Pixar movie ever. Great fun, great story, and an overall joy. See this on the big screen.

Appleseed (2004)

Interesting Manga, with great graphics and interesting story line. Could have been better though as it was a tad predictive.

Appleseed Saga: Ex Machina (2007)

Great sequel to the first manga with better graphics, a much better story line and just a better overall feel.

I Am Legend (2007)

This must have been a very cheap movie, as there are only about 4 characters in the movie. Very boring.

Layer Cake (2004)

Interesting British movie featuring Daniel Craig as a drugs dealer with a wish to get out. A very interesting plot.

Futurama: Bender’s Big Score (2007)

Futurama is back! The story could have been better, but the joy is simple: 1.5 hours of solid Futurama fun!

Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs (2008)

Futurama’s second return to TV since it got cancelled. As good as Bender’s Big Score and a joy to watch.

My Massive 20-Word-Movie-Review #3

Posted on June 20th, 2008

It is time for yet another installment of Cristiano’s Massive 20-Word-Movie-Review! (Here are #1 and #2)

Son of Rambow (2007)

Great story about two boys that remake “Rambo”. This is what I hoped “Be Kind, Rewind” would really have been.

Iron Man (2008)

Finally a decent comic book interpretation that sticks to what is good about comic. I really want more of this!

Balls of Fury (2007)

Not as bad as I expected it to be, including some sincerely funny moments. Still a b quality movie though.

Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark

Although it’s seriously outdated, it’s still the classic movie that will inspire boy’s adventures for times to come.

Indiana Jones - The Last Crusade

Sean Connery and Harrison Ford together in one movie. What more do we want of the second best Indiana Jones?

Indiana Jones - The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Unfortunately not the best movie ever, nor the best Indy. Still a damn good movie though. A must see movie.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall

Enjoyable, occasionally very funny, but not the perfect movie Melinda made it be. Good movie for watching as a couple.

Knocked Up

I think you need to be in that happy place where you want a few kids, to really enjoy this movie.

Movie Review: Iron Man

Posted on May 4th, 2008

So I got to see Iron Man last friday with a load of movie buffs/comic geeks, and even though I am not that much of a comic geek, which would make this look like yet another comic book adaptation. But, I have to admit: I….LOVED…. IT!!!!

Iron Man is a funny, well thought out movie, which happens to stay way clear of many of the common comic book interpretation mistakes that Hollywood has made in the past. Most of all they made sure that stuff doesn’t like too much like it was all done in CGI, which for me made the movie so much more believable

The actors were very well picked (Robert Downey Junior as Tony Stark/Iron Man and Jeff Bridges as his mentor) but I don’t think they will stand up against Christian Bale as Batman and Heath Ledger as The Joker in the upcoming The Dark Knight movie.

Iron Man wasn’t the best movie though that I’d ever seen, but looking back at movies like Spiderman 2 and 3 this is just so much in a different league, so go and watch it!.

TIP: Make sure to stay seated until past the credits for a little but very important extra.
