Dominator (2003)
Extremely low budget Genius
This is one of those movies you need to watch with a few buddies and a few drinks. The animations is awful and the story's far beyond stupid but that's the whole point! To enjoy it just don't take it seriously, yes it does look like it was programmed on an Amiga 600 but if the animation looked high quality it would loose it comedy edge.
I look at this film as a satire of manga movies. It obviously was the result of a few friends just getting together making a film that they think would be funny, to hell with what anyone else thinks.
Watch it, the dialogue is so bad it's simply hilarious and listen for the guest voices of mark and lard from radio land.

The Matrix Reloaded (2003)
What can i say that has not already been said
This film is not as bad as some people say. The first half hour is a waste of time and after that it had its bad moments. The special effects were excellent and the plot was impressive, however the sound editing was awful.
This isn't as good as the first film, it has none of the style and freshness of the original, I think peoples expectations were far too high, 'this is a sequel after all'.
There were some terrible scenes though; the sex scene (why?), the woman's crotch scene (were they trying to rob the film of its taste and subtly)
On a high note many of the scenes were cool, the architect, the smith fight, highway pursuit and dream sequences. And this can carry the film quite a way.
The end unlike the first matrix film made sense but also unlike the first matrix film was a huge anti climax, who really cares about the man smith has taken over.
The trailer for the matrix revolutions look very good, I just hope the brothers learn from their mistakes this time around and present a finale worthy of a second viewing
7/10 (I think terminator 3 might be better, have you seen the new trailer, WOW!!!)
Equilibrium (2002)
Impressive, most impressive!
Wow I didn't expect it to be quite this good. The breakdown is that this is an action movie with plenty of guns, swords and fire, well that's not all. In fact the dialogue is impressive and doesn't fall into the trap of being cheesy, the special effects were equally impressive and made the matrix look a little dated and most of all the script was quick paced leaving no time for a quick nap.
This film wasn't made to gross at the box office, it was made to exhibit new talent and an artists glimpse of a future with no future.
Signs (2002)
just bad
This film was so bad, I was laughing at how pathetic it was near the end. So it's was mildly if inadvertently funny but this did not justify the terrible script, zero action, dialogue and the more than half an hour run time.
If you haven't seen this film yet, don't bother watch a documentary on crop circles instead it'll be much more entertaining
Solaris (2002)
George can act i just know he can
This movie would have been tolerable if it was to have a convincing main character. George is a fairly good actor but in this film you cannot take his character seriously. The overall sound of the movie contained some of the best atmosphere I have ever heard, and the special effects could not be flawed.
But in a nutshell this is a half an hour film that had been stretched out thin to fill 2 hours, sorry Steven better luck next time.
Bitter Moon (1992)
Interesting Format
Although this film was a little lame i found myself compelled to keep on watching. It is in my opinion an odd film. The cinematography was excellent despite the low budget and the dialogue was compelling until the end. The story had enough to keep you interested but as it was coming to the end the film lost its charm and the finnalie was the worst executed i have ever seem, a shame it had real potential.
Die Another Day (2002)
This is supposed to be bond?
Just a quick expression of my disappointment in the latest outing of 007.
The first thing that struck me was this didnt feel like a bond movie. Where was the suspence, the class and the dialog, Okay bonds one liners have been know to be cheesy but the ones in this film were just pathetic.
The cinematography was simply terrible, the unnecessary use of bullet time springs to mind. The story was like most 007 far fetched but Gene manipulation and dream masks 'come on!'. The character placing was poor. Jinx okay as a hot blooded male myself she looks damm fine but why is she in the film, is she in the script? The past brosnin bonds have been very good if not the best but this was just a made for the masses, brainless, scriptless peice of embarrasing film. Van Diesel did a better job as XXX.
