I know a lot of people don’t like iTunes and the restrictions on iPods and iPhones that require you to use iTunes to utilise all of their functionality, or even just to synchronise your music. That’s a fair call (and yes I know you can set it up to bypass iTunes for music but I’m [...]

When we were looking at upscaling DVD players for dad for his birthday, the Samsung literally jumped out at us. I’m fond of Samsung to start with, so they automatically got a fairly high opinion from me, but then we came across the DVD-1080P8 in Harvey Norman alongside all the other brands. I got to [...]

Australia, probably the biggest Aussie film produced to date, advertised as an epic, reviewed as a bomb. I wasn’t sure what to expect before I saw it, the trailers looked great, the marketing was great, but almost all the reviews I saw indicated that it was a bit of a flop. On IMDB, at the [...]

On Thursday last week, I went to see Speed Racer at the cinema. Much to my surprise, the showing at Garden City was virtually empty, considering it was the first day that it was running.

Wow. I saw Sweeney Todd – The Demon Barber of Fleet Street at the cinema’s with Rhi and her mum this evening and boy can I tell you it was definitely not what we expected. If you haven’t heard anything about it yet, have a look at the trailer below. Okay, so I assume you [...]

There’s been a lot of hype surrounding The Golden Compass in the past couple of months, I know Rhi has been very excited about it and looking forward to seeing it. Last night I went to see it with my brother and sister, a bit unsure of what to expect, given that I have not [...]

Watch it, you know you want to. “Even the Star Wars Death Star needed a cafeteria. Where else could Darth Vader go and just chill out with the guys in between battles? Well if it did, this is a hilarious re-enactment in Lego style of what you might expect when Vader goes down there for [...]
