** Potential Spoilers – I’ll always try never to spoil anything but if you want to go in fresh with no outside info or basic plot points then I suggest waiting til you’ve seen ‘Prometheus’ before reading the review **

Do you feel like embarking on a 2 hour journey as to whether or not God exists? How about spending 124 minutes watching some desperate characters scramble around a distant planet searching for the meaning of their existence…?  If you do then Prometheus is going to be right up your alley.

I was a little unsure of what to expect when the movie started because I’m not the world’s biggest Alien quadrilogy fan and haven’t been anticipating Prometheus like I know some people have been but I definitely tried to keep an open mind and appreciate it as a sci-fi thriller helmed … Read More »

Hands down, Rounders is one of my favourite movies of all time. I’d say that it sits quite comfortably in my Top 10 films of all time.

What could my reasons be? Am I just a poker nut? A huge Matt Damon fan? An even bigger Edward Norton fan?

Well I wrote a review/essay piece for my good friend @Melbwrites and her great website which is located at http://melissasimaginarium.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/rounders.html. In addition to my thoughts on the film, I asked my Wonder Woman if she’d be interested in writing a review and she was so both can now be located at Melissa’s Imaginarium.

I highly recommend checking them out!

I have to digress briefly and mention my increasing intolerance for fellow moviegoers.

Throughout the entire film I had a fellow patron rattle her and her child’s hands in chip packets. Seriously these things should be banned from cinemas. They are distracting and heavily impact on the enjoyment of the film for others. I am taking a stand. No chips. No slurping your drink – if it’s empty, slurping won’t create any more Coke, either buy a bigger one or drink slower. No sniffing, coughing or TALKING! If you want to chit chat, LEAVE!

I am disgusted with the constant disregard for others enjoyment. I hate having to get up mid-movie and dash to the toilet but if it’s necessary it must be done. I don’t stomp up the stairs like a hippo from Fantasia, I like to think I … Read More »

Summary:
The sex crazed teens are back to give fans one more piece of pie….right.

13 years after the original cast left high school, our cast of horny teens have ended up stuck in everyday life. No corner office, just a cubicle. Once racy sex lives have been replaced by dippers. Some have become house husbands -whose only trace of masculinity is a shabby attempt at a beard.

These disgruntled once familiar characters seize an opportunity to head back to their home town, East Great Falls for a 10 year reunion that is 3 years overdue, and that is where the story picks up..

My view:
The original American Pie movie introduced us a bunch of teens and their experiences and sexual evolution towards the end of their high school days. American Pie was a ground breaking and raunchy teen sex comedy, … Read More »

While I sit here at my desk, munch on an almost-out-of-date Easter egg and roll my foot over a spikey ball I think, what have I done in the last week. Very little seems my original thought. Then I remember my recent trip to the “Sinner-Mar” (that’s how my very English friends say it).

I roll up ticket in hand and try to remember what the trailer was. Thinking Oh man, please let this not be another American Pie! This is ‘so 1999’! Its going to be an epic fail.

I’d just like to note, it’s one of the few movies that doesn’t ruin the best bits of the film in the trailer, nor shall I here. So feel free to read on.

So the basis for the film is a return of the full original cast to attend their high … Read More »

Jim. Michelle. Stifler. Finch. Oz. Kevin. Vicky. Heather. Jim’s Dad. Stifler’s Mom.

If you know these names and just the thought of them brings a smile to your face then you’re going to love the latest slice of pie, American Reunion.

In the latest slice of pie, our favourite “Class of ’99″ head back to East Great Falls to attend their 13 year high school reunion (I mean 10 years is so cliché). Whilst they’re all looking forward to the reunion, the paths taken by the characters couldn’t be more different. Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan) are happily married with a toddler of their own but seem stuck in a bit of rut, Oz (Chris Klein) is a successful TV sportscaster with a much younger (and “adventurous”) girlfriend (Katrina Bowden), Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) is a house-husband, Finch (Eddie Kaye … Read More »
