No Holds Barred Officially A Better Movie Than The Godfather

18 01 2007

Ok just a quick post that I found at IMDB that I found VERY funny.

“Seeing the Godfather at the top of the IMDB list, I began to think of movies which I would consider superior. Now I’m not saying No Holds Barred is the greatest movie of all time (although it certainly deserves consideration for that title), but it is definetly better than the godfather. The reasons are simple.
Better direction.
Better script.
Better cinematography.
Better acting.
I repeat, BETTER ACTING. Hogan can’t get enough credit for this film, and his suporting cast, led by Tiny Lister, are simply unbelievable.
Who agree’s with me?”

Just to clarify, I didn’t write this, No Holds Barred is a fun film but it is nowhere near Godfather worhty.




Ultimate Rejection Letter

16 01 2007

Hello Folks, just posting to say i’m working on sorting out a gallery to hang around here and then you can see the world through my eyes. So apart from scoring 16 out of 25 on a eBusiness exam today, I’ve been working on a couple of posts one is about how Movie Directors have become bigger stars than the stars and the other is my thoughts on the HD-DVD Vs Blu-Ray battle. Gosh, blogging is addictive, so on that note I’ll leave you with the ULTIMATE REJECTION LETTER!

Movies For Careers (& BOVRIL!!!!!)

11 01 2007

Yup that’s what i’ve discovered this week and i’ve been drinking it lots, I love the drink its just so damn tasty. So apart from finding out how great Bovril is, I’ve been wearing my new prison shirts…. that make me look mental and I have had one person ask after seeing a photo of me in one of the shirts, “What did he get locked up for?”.  Anyways I’ve realised that I haven’t posted in awhile so I thought I’d just make mention of some films i’ve seen recently with a quick review of them.

Night At The Museum

It wasn’t a bad film, good idea but I felt it was poorly executed. I reckon that the book is probably a very good read and the film just didn’t live up to its potential (as is the case with most book to film adaptations).

Employee Of The Month

I Enjoyed this film, it had enough humour to keep me going but I feel its weak point was that it didn’t relate enough to what its like working in retail. It felt like a poor man’s version of Clerks, but non the less was quite enjoyable.

Ok talking about Employee Of The Month has made me think of films people should see in relation to jobs/careers.

  1. Office Space – The ultimate movie if you work in a office and do suffer at the hands of middle management……. and if you keep losing your stapler.
  2. Clerks - If you work in general retail (or specifically a convience store), this is the movie for you.
  3. Clerks II - This one is more geared towards those of you that work in the fast food industry.
  4. Waiting… - If you work in a real restaurant rather than a fast food joint, maybe this is more your bag.
  5. Leon – It’s unlikely that you are a assassin or hitman, but if you are this movie should be your holy grail!

Also finally….. I’ve been watching “24” alot lately (just the first season so far) and I must admit its not as I-MUST-WATCH-THE-NEXT-EPISODE-NOW as other shows like Prison Break or The Shield, but it does have its charm.
