Although Pixar’s work is excellent, I’m not a huge fan of this style of animated films (I make an exception for some Anime) . However, I am a great fan of robots, be they large, small, retro or, well, anything (although that’s a different story).
In short, WALL-E rocked! Amazing animation, a great storyline, and, well, loads of robots. Which is always a good thing.
The animated short before the feature was also excellent, and did seem to be inspired by the awesome game Portal.
A very happy 9/10
I saw The Dark Knight recently. I was a great fan of the previous film, so I hoped this would be at least as good.
Sadly, I thought it was overhyped rubbish. A shame, as I quite like action flicks like this.
Heath Ledger was OK, but nothing special. I found it very difficult to hear what was going on in the film, and people behind me kept talking, which did nothing to improve my opinion.
I see Charlie Brooker agrees..
A dissapointing 6/10
Sunday evening, we decide to watch Threads. It’s simultaneously the best and the worst film I’ve ever seen. It’s based around global thermonuclear war, from the point of view of survivors in Sheffield.
Chilling, harrowing, yet compulsive. It’ll make you view what’s going on in Georgia in a different light.
Everyone should see this film.
An extremely rare 10/10.
Update: you can watch the whole thing on Google Video
For a while i’ve been thinking of writing a paragraph or two about things i’ve experienced recently, be it films, things i’ve bought, games i’ve played and so on.
First on my list is the 1984 docudramafilm Threads.
This was taken at the Red Bull Air Race London 2008.
I love the sky in this. I just wish the exposure was a little better. Doh.
