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.

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...

Has anyone got a spare TARDIS laying around?

I need to borrow it to make a trip to November 6th 2007...

Series 3 of Doctor Who coming out... on November 6th 2007

Can't wait...

The 'Beebs' does it again!

And no I don't mean the controversy that's been surrounding the BBC of late...

I mean Robin Hood - this series, despite being period piece-ish, manages to relate to the world today AND STILL entertain and enthrall. It's all that one enjoys in good television... and more me thinks...

Jonas Armstrong makes an unlikely but GREAT Robin Hood

It's light hearted on the outside... but not all sugar... I can't quite describe it accurately... but this is how television should be... too bad that most series rarely perform as consistently well as these BBC favourites...

I hear good things about Life on Mars - apparently David E. Kelly is making an American version... it's so good the Americans have decided to ruin it... I kid... only a little mind!

Also been hearing good things about Jekyll, the BBC's modern take on the Robert Louis Stevenson classic - 'Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'

James Nesbitt as Jekyll and Hyde

And I can personally vouch for Doctor Who being in the GREATEST TV SHOW EVER category...

I'm almost half way through Robin Hood now...

And with the compliments of my lovely wife, next up on my 'to watch' list is...

Torchwood - John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness

I'm not holding my breath...

Yea right!!!!

Rumors are rampant; Warner Bros. is planning on debuting a teaser for The Dark Knight in front of some screenings of 20th Century Fox's The Simpsons Movie on July 27.

Jim Lee's rendition of Batman
Kinda like a 'trailer' since it's not coloured in... ok, ok... stretching it...

My face has turned a tad pink as I type... for someone with my complexion that's no mean feat... and July 27 is a loooong way away... any of you guys know CPR?
