Last week I asked what movie this summer you’re looking forward to the most.  Christopher Nolan‘s Inception, his follow-up the the highly successful The Dark Knight, won the poll with a resounding 63% of the recorded votes.  Second place went to the Other category, but since no one left any comments as to what else they’re looking forward to I’ll assume it’s some rubbish like Jonah Hex. Iron Man 2, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and Toy Story 3 all ties for third place with 6% of the votes each.

With a total of 16 votes the total votes have decreased by 4 from last week… I hope this isn’t going to be a trend people.

Abrams and his writers, Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman, were given the room to do almost anything they wanted in the Star Trek universe and the fans of the original films and series wouldn’t be able to dispute the story presented to them. The only thing Abrams has to worry about at this point is whether the story he presents to the fans is entertaining, which I have to say it is. (more…)

I notice that most of my lists are not specific to my inherent problem that I live in Jamaica. Now most of you non Jamaican readers out there will probably be saying “what’s wrong with Jamaica? I want to live there!!” and I would agree with you for all the reasons that you would give, great weather and all. However, when one of your huge hobbies/interests is movies it becomes a hell of a place to hate. The theatres here never release anything that doesn’t have at least twenty explosions or made by Tyler Perry. So here is me letting you all the movies that I totally want to see but probably won’t due to the fact that I live in Jamaica. (more…)

Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is the CEO of Stark Industries, the lead developer of cutting edge weapons for the US military. On a trip to the Mid-East to demonstrate his newest weapon, he is captured and forced to develop a weapon for the enemy. It is here where he realizes that the American Army is not his only fans. He finds out that enemy troops have been acquiring his tools of destruction. After he uses this opportunity to make his own weapon to escape from his captors (ie. the Mach-1), he returns home to perfect his design into what we know as Iron Man… (ie. the Mach-3). (more…)
