Movie Review – Man on Wire

Posted by Vaughan on Mar 22, 2009 in Movies, Review | 0 comments

But the one movie I did see on the flight, was Man on Wire. The story of Philippe Petit, and his amazing stunt back in 1974, doing a wire walk between the towers of the World Trade Centre. Delivered in a similar fashion to Touching the Void, you can’t help but be captured by the story.

Without spoiling the movie, it also covers his other exploits (including Sydney Harbour Bridge pictured above), and is an exciting insight into the eccentric man himself. You don’t need to see it tomorrow, but it’s definitely a must see.

Posted by Vaughan on Mar 22, 2009 in Movies, Review | 1 comment

I’ve seen a lot of movies over the last week with the flights to Vegas, so I’m throwing them all into a single post. Being in Vegas, I’ve also become quite fond of the word ‘bonanza’.

View Full Album

Rachel Getting Married – Chick in rehab. Sister getting married. Drama. Cry cry. The end.

Elegy – Guy meets girl. Drama. Sick sick. The end.

Death Race – Get out of prison if you race. Zoom Zoom. The end.

Ghost Town – Guy dies. Guy sees ghosts. Life change. The end.

Street Fighter Movie – Chun Li Trailer

Posted by Vaughan on Oct 13, 2008 in Movies, Street Fighter | 2 comments

It is no secret that I am a Street Fighter fan. With Street Fighter IV launching on console, it is a big event for the CAPCOM community.

The cardinal sin for any game is the movie, and Street Fighter was no exception. But when you make a bad movie of a game (and then consequently the game of the movie of the game), what do you do? Apparently you wait 15 years, and hope everyone has forgotten, and make another bad movie. The Chun-Li movie trailer below is sure to set the scene for what is going to be a must see for 2009.

… and for those who forgot the original, the trailer does not do the movie justice. It was far worse.

PS3 Video Service for 2008! Just not for PAL…

Posted by Vaughan on Jul 20, 2008 in Movies, PS3 | 0 comments

The PS3 Video Service is to be launched in 2008, worldwide. But if you are in a PAL region, you are going to have to wait until 2009. With a video download service being a lure for Blue-Ray seekers, a delay of 12 months is going to push more of the market to competing services, or torrents.
