As a hater of just about every episode of The Simpsons since "Behind The Laughter" this film really, and I mean really surprised me with how good it was.

Homer Simpson and the family become the target of an angry Springfield after causing the entire city to be encased in a glass dome for not regarding environmental pollution concerns by "President Schwarzenegger".

I found it odd that most of the parts seen in trailers were usually the least funniest parts of the film.

I thought The Simpsons had completely nothing left for years, then it pulls out something which will now be added into my collection in the future. Speaking of which, apparently there is another two films worth of deleted material from the film, so that's gonna be one of the most worthwhile DVD's I'll ever purchase.

Now this is one truly amazing looking film.

Transformers is about the Autobots and Decepticons searching for a cube located on Earth named the Allspark. A boy named Sam has a pair of glasses from a relative which inadvertently contain a print on them. This print can give the location of the Allspark, and thus, the Transformers search depends on these glasses.

I've never watched Transformers before in my life so I can't tell whether they "butchered" any characters, but the transformers themselves were highly detailed, and the story was simple and very effective in explaining the Transformers back story. Some light comedy also works well in the film.

One part that particularly stands out in my mind is the smooth and flowing transformations from car to "back to normal", by moving at the same speed and looking visually spectacular at the same time.

Transformers is a definite must-see at the cinema and a definite must-have for your collection.

Die Hard is one film that is just like a definitive action film, with over the top car chases and one-liners.

Detective John McClane is told to pick up a known computer hacker, Matt Farrell (The Mac guy) for a number of offenses. John arrives just as Matt is about to be assassinated, but McClane saves him and helps Farrell in his escape.

After some government computer systems are hacked, chaos arises when city traffic lights are incorrectly changed, the stockmarket prices drop and the city's electricity is cut off by a computer hacker who's motive and background is later revealed in the film.

With the help of Farrell and his knowledge in computers as well as his contacts, McClane attempts to bring an end to the anarchy, and the threat on himself and his family in the process.

Some references relating to computers or the internet I found painful, but it's best not to think about it too much.

The story becomes cliched when McClane's daughter becomes involved, however this isn't a particularly important aspect to the story until later on in the film.

300 is a film about the real war between the Spartans and Persians, with fictional elements to the story.

The film starts by showing how a young Sparta trains to be a soldier, and follows will be king, Leonidas, throughout his young life right up to the point of adulthood, as king.

Leonidas leads 300 soldiers to fight the Persians. King Xerxes encourages Leonidas and the Spartans to surrender and worship him in exchange for wealth and power.

The film is visually spectacular, and battle scenes are choreographed very well.

Although there is a lot of talking and not much action for quite a while into the film, it makes up for it during around the second half of the movie when it's basically balls to the wall 'till the end.

A very good film. I would recommend it to anybody who loves their action and visuals.


4.5 Stars.
