Taxi to the Dark Side!

Posted by Jimbo on March 5 2008 Add Comments

Thanks to Greg for the heads up, I watched Taxi to the Dark Side on BBC iPlayer last night. Powerful stuff. In fact, I found it horrifying at some points.
Torture is as old as history books. All the horrible things the Spanish Inquisition did to non-believers in the name of Religion are very well [...]

Review Time, Again!

Posted by Jimbo on January 16 2008 one Commented

Like the first one, I’m going to keep this short and straight to the point…
There Will Be Blood: The best film I have seen since Little Miss Sunshine! And surprisingly, the supporting actor, Paul Dano, is Dwayne from Little Miss Sunshine! Daniel Day-Lewis is at his best since Gangs of New York. The way he [...]

Review Time!

Posted by Jimbo on December 21 2007 one Commented

I’ve been avoiding this since November. I’ll try to keep it short and simple…
American Gangster: Denzel Washington’s best since his Training Day. Russell Crowe’s best since A Beautiful Mind. That should sum it up.
Things We Lost in the Fire: One of the best dramas I have seen in a very long time. I’d say Benicio [...]

Eastern Promises!

Posted by Jimbo on November 8 2007 Add Comments

Eastern Promises is not like your typical crime thriller. It’s powerful, classy, dark and violent. Vigo Mortensen is just as good as he was in A History of Violence and brilliantly portraits a complicated caring and loving mafia driver who later in the story turns out to be more than just a driver!
David Cronenberg, the [...]

Hero Of The Week!

Posted by Jimbo on October 26 2007 2 Commented

I’ve been a CS addict for years now. Thanks to Team Fortress 2, I no longer have CS installed on my PC. My heroes of the week are different, to say the least. But when you get to know them, they’re the coolest bunch to hang out with… In a virtual war zone!
If you’re [...]

Now, this is fun! I remember MJeepZ used to connect his webcam, point it at the door and leave the house. Then log into his Yahoo account (or something like that) to see if burglars show up! Well, I’ve found a website that does all that and I’ve been asked to post a [...]

For The Smart, Only!

OK! You probably have already read my other post about TrustedPlaces. Even though I was paid to write that, everything I said was true. This post however, is my personal and public feedback after nearly a month of membership. Before I start, I need to make it clear here and now that they don’t work [...]

A Zombie Attempt!

Posted by Jimbo on September 4 2007 Add Comments

I’m pretty sure Hollywood Clichés wouldn’t be so annoying without the nudity, gore, slap stick and similar over-used rubbish. But then, they woudn’t be called clichés! Though, I don’t think “over-using” is neccessarly a bad thing. I love Tarantino’s over-using of fake blood, extreme close-up shots and foot fetish! I also love Zemeckis‘ Tom Hanks [...]

For Better Or For Worse!

Man, these badges sure look ugly! I mean, what kind of green is this? Pigeon shit green?!
Anyway, click ‘n’ vote, please. I would happily consider your votes as your belated Birthday presents! Or else, I will have to spike your drinks and make you watch Nicole Kidman’s zombie flick! If that’s not [...]

We’re off to London this Thursday. There’s supposed to be a belated mid-summer reunion party where all the old university mates get to gether again and have a few pints and laughs. As usual, I am the designated tour guide! But the thing is that I am running out of ideas here. My [...]
