December 2004 Archives

28 Office Space Films & TV
This has been popular cult (or cultishly popular?) favourite for years, and having finally caught it I can see why. Like Dilbert it appeals to anyone who's ever been a cubicle cog in a corporate machine. The film starts off...

28 Sin City Books & comics
It was during the "Born Again" arc on Daredevil or Give Me Liberty (whichever came earlier) that I first became aware how often Frank Miller re-used certain themes or devices. The violent, yet weirdly sympathetic, pill-popping psychopathic killer obsessed with...

23 The Bourne Supremacy Films & TV
Decent sequel to a decent prequel. No idea what the original Chamberlin movie or the books are like. Supremacy is grittier than Identity... The fight sequences aren't as influenced by the (at the time) in vogue Hong Kong martial arts...

23 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Films & TV
Good, but not great. Not the brilliant "best movie of the year" it's been characterised at. I'd rank it behind Being John Malkovitch and Adaptation... though I'd have to watch all three movies again to confirm this order. Guess I'm...

23 The Lion King Theatre & music
Have to say the gloss has worn off somewhat. TLK was never a great musical, but it was one of the most brilliantly theatrical conceptions ever to grace the stage. Julie Taymor is a visual genius (confirmed by her films...

23 Spammed Site
First case of this blog being spammed. 78 comments, one or two on almost all entries, all linking back to one of two gambling sites. (Won't give them the satisfaction of naming them.) Deleted all the entries of course but...

17 Catching up on movies... Films & TV
Sometimes I'm motivated to post and other times... bleargh. Anyway - short comments (sometimes shorter than the movies deserve) on Capturing the Friedmans, Supersize Me, The Human Stain, Ginger Snaps, Intolerable Cruelty, The Producers, Cold Mountain and Nicholas Nickleby....

08 Hellboy (the movie) Films & TV
Not having read the Mike Mignola comic book I can't say whether the movie is true to its source. If it's not though it would have to be a noble effort. If Buffy had been a seven foot, cigar smoking...

01 Spider-Man 3 speculations Films & TV
The overarching thread in both Spider-Man movies has been the love story between Peter and Mary Jane, even more so than the "with great power comes great responsibility" theme. I have a strong suspicion that Mary Jane will be killed in the third movie.
