The Hurt Locker (2009)



Guy Pearce & Ralph Fiennes appeared in minor & short roles in this catastrophic war movie where an elite Army bomb squad unit must come together in a city of Iraq where everyone is a potential enemy and every object could be a deadly bomb.

>>: B-


Red Sands (2009)



Another war horror based on Islamic Myths after last year's The Objective (2008) and this time this slow paced story evolves around a Genie! Pretty mediocre.

>>: C-

I've been on an 80s teen romance flick trip this week since you can find a lot of them on youtube. I've watched:

Can't Buy Me Love - Patrick Dempsey looking super young and super dorky.
The Sure Thing - Love, LOVE John Cusack. Surprisingly funny movie.
Just One of the Guys - My god, the acting... oh the "acting"...

Ahh alas I simply cannot keep pace, apologies.

It's nice to see that it may well have lived up to it potential then. As said, I think it was a much better story for this sort of media. I am uncertain about some of the design choices though, I felt Coraline's surreal elements were stronger in their subtlety. In this version they seem to be a bit too forceful (based on trailer viewings).

I do love stop motion though, and I will be sure to give this a look when it reaches Australian shores.

Have seen it. Cute, but a bit too sappy for my tastes. I like my Cusack sarcastic with a hint of bitterness to him.

Bringing up baby (katherine hepburn & cary Grant)


fun movie - meanders all over the place but the acting is fun.
katherine hepburn was a complete flake in this (beautiful too)
funny to see her act like a nut when she she always appeard so refined later.


made me want to go out and buy a baby leopard.

Of course. He and Minnie Driver are both hilarious. Great chemistry. Not enough Jeremy Piven though.
