Before I flew back to Kuwait I decided to catch the new Transformers movie and when I found out that they were showing it at the BFI IMAX in London , I thought what better movie to watch on the IMAX cinema ! As its been years since I was last in an IMAX theatre [...]
I’m a big Michael Moore fan. I like his documentary style using irony and humour to get his point across and trying to expose what really goes on. He’s focused on gun laws, Bush and the medical industry but his latest documentary is going to be one I’m definitely going to watch as he focuses [...]
Managed to catch Terminator Salvation last week. I originally had my doubts about this movie when I heard they were making it. I mean Terminator without Arnold doesn’t seem right and I thought T3 actually was a good end to the franchise. But then I heard Christian Bale is in it – so I changed [...]
Angels & Demons is based on the book by Dan Brown which was written before The Da Vinci Code. Of the main characters from Da Vinci Code only Tom Hanks as Professor Langdon is back and thank goodness he got rid of that stupid haircut. I have to say my expectations going into the movie [...]
The summer blockbuster movie season seems to start earlier every year. Star Trek kicks off this summer and it doesn’t disappoint. Now before I go any further I’ve watched the 60s TV show and the movies starring William Shatner, so I have a bit of background to the characters. This movie is a relaunch of [...]
Went to see State of Play a few days ago here in the cinema after reading some very good reviews about the movie. Actually it was a toss up between this and Wolverine and I felt like watching a movie which challenged my brain a bit. The movie definitely requires you to think as Russell [...]
After Ali G and then Borat comes Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest character Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion reporter. The movie is due for release this summer and I’ve just watched the trailer which has just been released on-line. The movie looks hilarious and I can’t wait to see it. Its the same type of concept [...]
I kept going through this list and almost all were so true, some I didn’t even realize were cliche’s until I read them – you just take some things in movies for granted I guess! Numbers 24 and 25 are two of the best ! 1. It is always possible to find a parking spot [...]
The first Cinemagic event I attended was a documentary called Man on Wire. An amazing true story about how in the 70s Frenchman Philippe Petit managed to do a tightrope walk between the Twin Towers in New York. I never knew about this but apparently it was a huge thing at the time. The entertaining interviews with the actual [...]
I haven’t been to the cinema for months here in Kuwait. The main reason is that there hasn’t really been anything on but also you need to be lucky not to have someone behind you talking all the way through (either with the person next to him/her or on the phone!!) which really bugs me. My theory is that [...]
