TRON: LEGACY continues to look awesome: 5 new images hit the web

I’ve been looking forward to Tron: Legacy ever since I saw the first trailer in March. It’s not the story or the characters that grab me, but rather the pretty visuals and synthetic soundtrack. Something tells me, though, especially looking at the bike-race-crash stuff, that the movie will be more than a little bit silly when it comes out in December. Nevertheless, it continues to look gorgeous in...

10 sports movies I am watching instead of the FIFA World Cup

So, the FIFA World Cup 2010 is on, and while Australia’s Socceroos crumbled to yet another dismal early-exit from the tournament, I’ve decided to re-watch some of my favourite sporting movies instead of enduring what remains of the event. After all, the running time for a lot of films is pretty close to a single game of soccer. I might just tune in to the final. Note: I’m not saying these...

You’ve got a friend in me: TOY STORY 3 review

Toy Story 3 is simply another Pixar movie. Which means it’s so undeniably enjoyable that, regardless of flaws, attempting to be critical of it for the pure sake of going against the grain would be nothing more than posturing. Toy Story 3 is one of the best releases of the year– and that’s without delving into technical stuff like the quality of the animation (brilliant) or the seamlessness of...

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES’ plot synopsis is shockingly unoriginal

Johnny Depp + 3D = $500 million dollars. That’s the only thing on Disney’s mind right now.

By all means, ruin my childhood: THE LION KING undergoing 3D conversion

I haven’t watched The Lion King since I was a wee grasshopper, sometime in the early-mid 1990s. I don’t really want to watch it again any time soon, either — perhaps I’ll give it a spin when / if I have kids, or when I feel a particularly strong urge to indulge in some hard-hitting nostalgia. Being that I watched The Lion King when I was a kid, I don’t even know if it’s a...
