Posted on September 4, 2010 by Nils

Watched some movies recently… Alien vs Predator 1: Watchable, if you like Aliens or Predators. Switch off your brain first though. The Weyland tie-ins are neat. V for Vendetta: Well filmed, a bit too predictable and hard to suspend disbelief … Continue reading →

Clash of the Titans

Posted on April 14, 2010 by Nils

Watched Clash of the Titans last week, in the non-3D-Version. I didn’t expect much going in, and I wasn’t disappointed. The movie tells the myths of Perseus, and is based on the 1981 movie of the same name. Except, it … Continue reading →

Posted on December 4, 2008 by Nils

Bought the second World of Warcraft expansion, played it for a while, and feel confident enough to post a super quick review. The good: Zone design is great, the zones look really nice. Quests are much less annoying – there … Continue reading →

Riverworld (TV Movie)

Posted on September 5, 2008 by Nils

Watched the Sci-Fi Channel “made for tv” movie Riverworld the other day. Oh boy did that suck. I mean they butchered the characters, the backstory and the setting, the plot, pretty much everything. About the only thing it had in … Continue reading →

I bought the Director’s Cut DVD of Donnie Darko a long time ago and wanted to *finally* post the review. I didn’t know this movie before I saw the DVD; but it sounded interesting so I shelled out the money. … Continue reading →

Three Movies

Posted on December 15, 2007 by Nils

Watched three movies on my way to Detroit. **Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer**: Not the worst movie I ever watched, but hardly a piece of art – or even very original. If you’re a guy, the blond female … Continue reading →

The Simpsons Movie

Posted on September 17, 2007 by Nils

I watched The Simpsons Movie last night. I liked it, but I thought it wasn’t spectacular. On the good side, it’s a long, long episode of The Simpsons. But on the other hand, unfortunately it’s a long, long episode of … Continue reading →

Harry Potter and the Somthing of Something

Posted on September 16, 2007 by Nils
