Midweek DVD – Hot Fuzz
Comments OffOk, I admit, I didn’t have too much hope for this film when I first heard about it. I thought that being the second film for the team behind Shaun of the Dead, they would have to live up to the standard their previous film had set, and that would be extremely difficult to do. [...]
Midweek DVD – Team America: World Police
Comments OffThere are very few films out there that can not only be viewed without thinking too hard about the content, but also be hugely entertaining by making you think.

In my and my family’s estimation, the best work of the lot happens to be Dogma. Dogma [...]

It’s been around for years, and has been fondly remembered by a crowd of geekish teenagers that completed the shareware and installed the Barney mod. Sadly, it suffers from the same thing that many other movies of games fall foul of too: Movie Adaptations of Games [...]
Midweek DVD – Ring
Comments OffUrban legends are wonderful. Everyone knows of a friend of a friend’s mother’s brother’s pen friend’s girlfriend that got killed in some freakish, crazy or paranormal way.
