Well this week has been all quiet on the cinema front. However this weekend promises so much more and with Scream 4 and Thor due out by the end of the month, I should have a lot more to write about. But this weekend weather permitting I hope to take a look at Wellington's Newest cinema the Roxy and failing that I hope to take my nearly 3 year old boy to see his first movie. A big event in my household and his first movie will be Rio. Fingers crossed we will make it through the whole presentation.
I have also been viewing my recent purchases from Amazon, a mix of Brit TV, classic action movie s and one or two special box sets. So I will be adding to my reviews.
I have also been catching up with the concept art scene, made a few interesting discoveries worth viewing so I will be posting their links. But to tide you over I have posted some of my art. Non film related but a taster of what I like to do in my spare time when not entertaining my boy or hiding in some darkened cinema.
I love the creative process that is part of modern movie making. Since moving to New Zealand I have had the opportunity to attend a couple of Weta exhibitions at both Tepapa and The Dowse, and also at the Weta cave. Its amazing to see some of their craftsmanship up close and personal.
But there is also the likes of Brian Froud, Doug Chang, Stan Winston, Rick Baker all specialists in their field and masters who have created some memorable works of art, and creatures that even now have yet to be bettered.
So I will highlight some of the books I am fortunate to own, and maybe direct you to some nice little gems awaiting discovery.
