Annoyed!

That I can't seem to update my blog. May be if i did that then... well... then again... maybe not...

KITT's coming back...

First in a 2 hour television movie... and then IF it's (he's?!?!?) popular... it'll be in a brand 'new' series...

Promotional art for the new Knight Rider

Well... not totally. The new series is going to be a continuation of the original starring David Hasselhoff as Michael Knight - in fact 'The Hoff' *snicker* has a cameo.

I must admit, I was a fan back in the late 1980s - HEY! I was a kid OK!?!?!? And a talking car that had Batmobile-ish capabilities was VERY COOL!

But that was then... I must admit thought... I don't have such a good feeling about this new incarnation (the new Bionic Woman anyone?!?!) But hoping against hope...

Pete - your 2 cents?

Feels like I'm standing still...

Or moving backwards instead of forwards... what was rewarding is now not and what wasn't is...

Why can't I have the cake and eat it too... just a nibble?

Jumper

UPDATE: This movie BLOWS! It's just... I just... boy did they mess this up!

OK, I gotta admit that I've never been a fan of Darth Christensen - quite the opposite ... BUT (most of) you guys know my affinity for Science Fiction... and DARN... the trailer for his next movie is friggin AMAZING...

Jumper - the film is based on a novel by Steven Gould

It helps that Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity) directs and Jamie Bell, Diane Lane, and the more famous, Samuel L. Jackson also star!

But on the other hand... Liman did direct Mr. and Mrs Smith too... not that it was spectacularly bad or anything... just sort of average... for me at least... especially following Bourne.

UPDATE: This movie BLOWS! It's just... I just... boy did they mess this up!

Been away for a while...

But I'm back... err... I think...

Why was I "away"? err... there was this thing... DARN IT! I WAS LAZY OK!!!

but I'm back now... sort of... I think...

WHAT! What?!?!?

I KNOW - it's probably too early to whine about it now but...

It appears that I might have jumped the gun in praising the BBC.

OK, so we do get a full season of Doctor Who next year and in 2010... but three meagerly specials for 2009?!?!? SERIOUSLY?!?!? Is this what you do with your 'flagship' program?

The Doctor's TARDIS

I am UNHAPPY... but then who gives a crap eh?!?! Whenever ANY network has a hit series they think (and they're probably, mostly, right) that they have the audience by the 'short and curlies'... point in case 'Lost' (which I'm not too fond of to begin with) and 'Battlestar Galactica'. And here I was thinking it was a purely American phenomenon.

Oh well... I'll piss and moan and probably stay with Doctor Who... I'll take what I can get... for now!

It's just the beginning...

Hopefully...

Maldives has it's fair share of film enthusiasts. We mostly keep our interests... our love for the cinema... and the obscure... to ourselves, but a whole bunch of us got together last weekend (18th of August) and thought up a way in which we could 'spread the word' about good (effective?!?!?) cinema...

The blog, is the first step...
