Vantage Point on Blu-ray review

I’m going to keep this review as spoiler-free as I can, so I’m not be divulging the plot twist that is supposed to be the highlight of this movie. Partly because in my opinion it’s not worth actually telling people, and everyone should get the chance to shout at the screen Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot at that juncture.

But to be honest it wasn’t the only time I was forced to voice my incredulity as the events portrayed in this movie, whole sections make about as much sense as Amy Whinehouse does after a complete bender.

If you didn’t catch the promotions for this movie the premise is simple, if not borrowed from at least three other movies I can think of. We’re presented with 23 minutes or time which usually runs to about 10 minutes of screentime, in which the same events are seen from a different perspective. With each ‘vantage point’ we get more information about the characters, their motivations and additional clues to what’s actually going on. Which, unsurprisingly, isn’t what we’re initially drawn to think.

The Professionals on Blu-ray

I’ve not seen a old movie on Blu-ray before, so I’m glad the first one I did see was this one. Read about it here.

Bring on the DogWelder!!!!

I love comics, but I’ll accept that some characters aren’t destined for the big screen!

Pixar on patrol…

I’ve written a ready reckoner for Pixar on Geek this week…here!

Bring back Spitting Image!!!!

I’ve seen two episodes of ‘Heachcases’ and it gives me a ‘Headache’, but for a longer diatribe of what I think go here.

“Pardon my French but you’re an AARDVARK!”

Don’t you just love movies that have been dubbed by the morons that run American TV? No, me neither. Here’s a love letter to them on Geek!.

It’s Oscar Time!

It’s that time of year again. When glad rags and outdoor carpeting come back in fashion.
Over at Den of Geek I’m spouting on the daftness behind it all…here

Knight Rider…is back!

Death of the Effects Movie

I’ve been writing for Den of Geek again!
Go here to read about Effects Movies and how they’re not up to scratch!

X-Files 2 Movie, why?

Variety announced that they’re starting production of a new X-Files movie! Why? More of my thoughts on this here on Den of Geek.

Dexter Season 2 Episode 3!

I’ve been stupidly busy recently, which is my excuse for not posting!
But I’ve been warbling on about Dexter on Den of Geek here

Bourne…again!

Those nice people at ASUS have invited me to see a pre-screening of The Bourne Ultimatum on the 16th in London!
I’m really excited to see this movie. Possibly more than the other sequels we’ve suffered this summer. The only decision I’ve got to make is should I post my review on here or Den of Geek, or both? I think that will depend on how I feel about it, as if it sucks I’ll probably take longer to write it, where if I’m gushing I’ll want to talk about it first thing on the 17th.

Actor Cloning – Trek Alikes

Gary Sinise has been mentioned to play a young ‘Bones’ in the next Star Trek movie, here is a picture that helps explain why this might be such a strong rumour.
