HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: Part 1 [2010] review
November 20, 2010
I have already written earlier this week that Harry Potter is the greatest genre series of them all, and I will repeat that again here. The instant the Warner Brothers logo appeared on the IMAX screen tonight, all my fears were gone and I knew HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1 was going to deliver. And it did. If you have not read the books, and even if you have, prepare to get roughed up at the end. DEATHLY HALLOWS is a powerful, dark and necessary drama. It is for real.
THE SOCIAL NETWORK [2010] review
October 2, 2010
THE SOCIAL NETWORK is a really, really good movie. The pacing is outstanding. The characters are well played and compelling. For a two-hour plus movie that is very (tech & courtroom) dialogue heavy and has many coding and computer screen scenes, it felt really exciting, like you were dying to see what happens next and how the story of the founding and early growth of Facebook unfolded. This is one of the top three movies of the year so far.
INCEPTION [2010] review
July 17, 2010
I think Christopher Nolan with INCEPTION has cemented himself as director of the decade having kicked it off with MEMENTO. Like he did with 2008′s THE DARK KNIGHT, he has made every other movie this summer seem like hack amateur derivative waste of film. INCEPTION is the kind of movie that makes you leave the theater discussing, debating, and most of trying to figure out what in fact did I just see? And do I understand any of it?
TOY STORY 3 in 3D [2010] review
June 26, 2010
TOY STORY 3 is a flawless masterpiece. A movie that is just so right in its score, in the attention to details, in its action, in its emotional moments, and in its story. This was also my first time to see a 3D movie outside of a theme park since my childhood, perhaps it was the Creature from the Black Lagoon? I feel the 3D genie is fully out of the bottle and one better get used to donning those 3D glasses. Did it enhance my TOY STORY 3 viewing experience?
GODZILLA TOKYO SOS [2003] review
June 7, 2010
This was Godzilla as I had never seen him before, with full on modern(ish) special effects and a spiritual storyline that held up the action scenes well. I had never seen a modern Godzilla movie before, from the 90s or 00s, well, other than that horrid Matthew Broderick abomination. I was very impressed and loved GODZILLA: TOKYO S.O.S.
24 Series Finale 8×23 & 8×24
May 25, 2010
I can remember walking into the Deep-in one Friday night, a small bar in South Korea frequented by foreigners, carrying my new Dell laptop to show people there this awesome new show I had discovered. I said you have to hear the sounds of the show and see how they use split screens and letter boxing. I wanted to share with others how awesome the first season of 24 was. Now on a different continent I will once again tell how awesome 24 was, for the last time.
LOST 6×17 & 6×18 “The End” Parts 1 & 2
May 24, 2010
We know The End. Though at this current moment I cannot say I fully understand it. The series finale of LOST was more a way for us to just say good-bye to all our favorite characters, one last time.
LOST 6×16 “What They Died For”
May 19, 2010
It has really started now. LOST is really ending. We are well on our way and by this time Sunday night it will be done. The tone of this penultimate episode had a totally different feel to it. Either the music or the camera work or both produced a whole new feel to this episode. The end of LOST will be distinct. I will think of nothing else until Sunday.
