Hannah & Her Sisters (1986)

By Wadrick Jones ⋅ March 10, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Annie Hall is nearly always cited as fidgety New Yorker Woody Allen’s best work. And while I’ll agree that it is a great movie, his best film will, for me, always be Hannah & Her Sisters. There are many reasons for this, and perhaps not the most insignificant being the amount of screen time that Allen has in this film (let’s face it, the guy can get annoying)…

By Wadrick Jones ⋅ January 14, 2010 ⋅ 10 comments

But even with the influx of tedious CGI-based films, it must be said that the decade advanced the art of special effects with leaps and bounds, building steadily on the work first displayed in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park way back in 1993.

In a post-apocalyptic world, the only commodity of value is “guzzoline” (yep, food is secondary) and for Max, it’s a never-ending quest to secure the stuff. When he agrees to help a ragtag band of survivors drive a tanker full of the precious liquid away from their compound, it is merely an excuse to stage some kick-ass chase scenes in the Australian outback…

Terminator Salvation (2009)

By Wadrick Jones ⋅ November 25, 2009 ⋅ 6 comments

The first forty minutes of this film is extraordinarily good – so much so that I was reaching to take back the grenade I’d thrown at McG and offer a hand of gratitude. But the perfectly realised wasteland atmosphere, combined with the awesome hardware, is not enough to sustain the second half of the film.
