The Trouble with Terminators
I’ve always found myself quite perplexed at the ability of massive, metal killing machines to leap on a motorbike and happily ride off to their next murder. I mean, how? They’re a hulking metal robot.
Movies
Half baked notions about films I’ve enjoyed. Or not.
Interstate 60 (2002)
I so wanted to love this, featuring an ensemble cast led by Gary Oldman, and James Marsden it takes us on a quirky journey down an imaginary highway with an intriguing premise, colourful characters, and a plot filled with twists and turns.
It could have been amazing, why was it so mishandled?
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (2005)
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is a delightful romp that captures Adams’ humor with a great cast, despite its niche appeal.
And I love it!
But why?
The Condorman Transfer
Condorman was a fun – if ultimately silly and doomed to obscurity – movie. It’s such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to give it a decent digital transfer.
Sunshine (2007)
Danny Boyle’s attempt at sci-fi/horror falls flat due to a lack of decent characterisation and a reliance on sci-fi cliches. It looks beautiful though. Why is it so dreadful though?
