Hell Ride

27 Aug

If you’re not into the 3B’s “Beer, Bikes & Booty” then this movie may not be your thing.

But if you are then it can be a fun ride. :P

It’s great to see someone who can actually ride in a movie about bikers.

Dennis Hopper? Biker film legend. It’s awesome to see him back on a bike.

There’s lots of nudity & some pretty graphic murders so again -it’s not for everyone. ;)

That’s the way it was in the biker films and this is a great tribute to the old biker films. Fast & Fun.

Larry Bishop stars as bad-ass biker Pistolero, (named after the original title for Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado) who along with The Gent (Michael Madsen) and Comanche (Eric Balfour), hit the road to avenge the death of Pistolero’s old lady Cherokee Kisum (Julia Jones), by the 666ers, a rival motorcycle gang.

Vinnie Jones and bike riding legend Dennis Hopper star as members of the satanic biker gang the 666ers.

enjoy! ;) magic

Privacy from Microsoft

26 Aug

Well only a few months ago Mozilla – creators of Firefox the rival of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer was released to the public after several beta releases.

Now Microsoft launch their little beauty, which boasts a InPrivate mode, the patent for the InPrivate name has been filed in the U.S by the corporation.

The most intriguing tool, and the one that has prompted the “porn mode” label, was dubbed “InPrivate Browsing” by Microsoft.

When enabled, IE8 will not save browsing and searching history, cookies, form data and passwords; it also will automatically clear the browser cache at the end of the session.

Other new tools will include “InPrivate Blocking” and “InPrivate Subscription,” which notifies users of third-party content that can track browsing history and subscribe to lists of sites to block, respectively.

Microsoft will also tweak its existing “Delete Browsing History” by adding an option to preserve bookmarked sites’ cookies even when all others are erased.

Gremlins Pack

26 Aug

If you haven’t seen this, make time to see it!

Gremlins Pack includes Gremlins 1 and 2, there was literally no information to hand, but its the type of film you will love, and well Gizmo is magic :P

The first one opens up at christmas scene in the local town, the film is about gremlins who wreak havoc on the town, its hard not to fall in love with Gizmo ;)

The second one surrounded with the same idea as the first sees Billy and Kate coincidentally are still both working in the same building.

Billy is in the art department and Kate gives guided tours of the building. It is here that they stumble upon Gizmo and the inevitable happens. :)

It may not be brilliant in the eyes of the “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences”, but it is in my eyes. 10 stars!

have fun! ;) magic

Riddick Trilogy

25 Aug

Check this little bundle out!

First - Pitch Black

From the first 10 seconds of Pitch Black I was hooked.

Before I had seen this I was thinking that it would be just another cheesy sci-fi movie.

Instead I found a highly entertaining, on the edge of your seat, thought provoking action film.

The movie goes beyond your basic special effects flick.

The look of the movie is breath taking, the contrast of blues, yellows and oranges due to the three different suns is amazing.

The Fall

24 Aug

First off, it was nice to see a film where the director had complete creative control to execute his vision.

This film does not suffer the fate of marketers or no talent Hollywood producers who think they are artist or visionaries.

If you liked Cinema Paradiso and the Princess Bride then you will also love this film.

Tarsem’s lavish imagery and fantastic locations create the atmosphere for an epic adventure, while the acting of Lee Pace, Justine Waddell and especially, Cantinca Untaru provide the drama and laughter.

The plot full of adventure revolves around small girl who lies injured in a hospital and is being told 5 different stories by former stuntman.

Los Angeles, circa 1920’s, a little immigrant girl (Catinca Untaru) finds herself in a hospital recovering from a fall.

She strikes up a friendship with a bedridden man (Lee Pace) who captivates her with a whimsical story that removes her far from the hospital doldrums into the exotic landscapes of her imagination.

have fun! ;) magic

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

23 Aug

As you’ve no doubt guessed, it was created with children as the intended audience.

There are several lines that are cringe-worthy for the older crowd.

There are a few plot elements, too, that are completely pointless.

On the flip side, this film ventures into classic Star Wars territory.

Oddly enough, at times the dialogue and overall storytelling felt very old school.

Then, in the very next “screen wipe”, you get prequel-equivalent scenes.

You’ll encounter some familiar creatures/characters, as well as locales that will evoke a smile. And even though much of the humor is directed toward children, a large chunk of it is also aimed at older fans.

The heroic Jedi Knights struggle to maintain order and restore peace.

More and more systems are falling prey to the forces of the dark side as the Galactic Republic slips further and further under the sway of the Separatists and their never-ending droid army.

Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano find themselves on a mission with far-reaching consequences, one that brings them face-to-face with crime lord Jabba the Hutt.

But Count Dooku and his sinister agents, including the nefarious Asajj Ventress, will stop at nothing to ensure that Anakin and Ahsoka fail at their quest.

The Verve release ‘Forth’

23 Aug

Widely regarded as one of the most important and influential bands in British music, this is the fourth album by Wigan’s The Verve.

It’s their first full set of original material since the career defining, 1997 commercial breakthrough, ‘Urban Hymns’.

‘Forth’ is a strong and varied release.

The anthemic single,’Love Is Noise’ is included.

Its official release is Monday 25th August 2008

The band haven’t  released an album in 11 years.

The Verve are probably best known, at least, internationally, for their monster hit “Bittersweet Symphony”, and the resulting sampling lawsuit from the Rolling Stones.

have fun! ;) magic

Deception

22 Aug

Its not perfect by any means, the script has much to be desired and at times the acting was unconvincing.

Surprisingly I didn’t seem to find the movie overly predictable, however at times its dramatically far fetched.

Notably the complete stupidity of a shooting occurring in broad day light in a busy European city going unnoticed.

All this being said, the movie is entertaining.

Its definitely a mixed bag, where on one hand its very engaging and on the other it has obvious flaws.

I recommend it, you’ll be thoroughly entertained but try not  expect to much.

A disconnected accountant finds his mundane life injected with a new sense of urgency after striking up a friendship with a charismatic attorney.

Jonathan (Ewan McGregor) is an accountant who has lost his passion in life.

When his powerful new lawyer friend, Wyatt (Hugh Jackman), introduces Jonathan to a salacious underground sex club called The List, the dejected accountant soon believes he has found the woman of his dreams (Michelle Williams).

have fun! ;) magic

Big Stan

22 Aug

I’ve seen many comedy movies in my life, some good and some bad.

Some comedy movies involve large quantities of drugs or nudity to support the humor.

This movie however shows that with the right amount of goof and what you can make a most excellent comedy.

Big Stan tells the story about a con artist that finds himself a ticket to prison for fraud.

This very skinny (please make sure to watch his legs) guy has to survive in prison.

With this movie it makes sure you have a good time, there is a great cast and even the smaller roles are cast with effort.

This movie makes you wish every prison out there had their own Big Stan!

A weak con man panics when he learns he’s going to prison for fraud.

He hires a mysterious martial arts guru who helps transform him into a martial arts expert who can fight off inmates who want to hurt or love him.

have fun! ;) magic

Married Life

22 Aug

Married Life surfs a fine line between the comic and the tragic that is uncomfortable to acknowledge.

But humor definitely wins out in the end, leaving us with an ironic but optimistic view of the flaws that increasingly populate our public and private lives as we grow older.

Cooper and Brosnan achieve a fascinatingly contradictory friendship between two men that is unlike any other I’ve seen on screen in a long time.

Set in 1949, the story opens into a picturesque, affluent suburb where Harry Allen resides with his wife, Pat.

There’s trouble brewing beyond the perfect picket fences.

Harry has fallen deeply in love with a blonde beauty named Kay (Rachel McAdams).

He confesses his secret to his longtime bachelor friend, Richard (Pierce Brosnan), and even introduces Richard to the lovely Kay.

Unfortunately for Harry, Richard is instantly smitten, and makes up his mind that he will do whatever it takes to win Kay for himself.
