the twilight saga: eclipse

Tighter, scarier, this is the best of the Twilight films. Which is a lot like saying that getting punched is better than being stabbed.

I'd love to know what you thought about the flick in the comments section, particularly if you are a Twihard

karate kid & twilight: eclipse reviewed

Why The Karate Kid remake is a bad parenting manual & Twilight Eclipse is better than its prequels... which is a lot like saying getting punched in the gut is better than being stabbed.

toy story 3. yeah, it really is that good.

It's the first time I've ever given out a perfect star rating for a movie (though, there was much twitter debate about it, I assure you) My triple j review is down below. It's only 2min and is full of flashy sounds.

Also, if you feel so inclined, I also reviewed it for The Circle on Network Ten




I'd love to know what you thought about the flick in the comments section - I'd also love to know what you would consider a 5/5 movie? Or whether you think such a thing exists at all? And if it does what makes something 5/5 for you? Or are all star ratings bullshit (I think they are, but they're a useful signpost for people to remember at the end of a review)

From Perth remixer Pogo: What do you get when you mix vocals and chords recorded from 'Toy Story', some extra cymbals and a sine wave bass?

This:

from the director of Amelie....

Comes... the new Commonwealth Bank Advertisement.

So it seems. Commonwealth Bank has called in Amelie director Jean-Pierre Jeunet for its latest marketing campaign,

The campaign was created by Goodby Silverstein & Partners and launches today. According to AdNews they "aim to bring the bank’s customer service promises to life and increase the number of products its customers purchase from the bank."

You can definately sense the similarity in theme. This is the new ad..


And this is the Trailer for Amelie.


Can't help but think it would've been easier to just get a local director and say, "Hey, you've seen Amelie, right? reckon you could recreate that? only, oooh I know, do it in black and white. It worked so wonders for James Boag" instead of hiring Jeunet, but, as they say C'es La Vie.

shrek forever after

Lets face it, after all of these years can Shrek and the gang still feel fresh? I feel a gratuitous dairy analogy coming on.... My triple j review is down below. It's only 2min and is full of flashy sounds.
