Well after a long rest, I am back. The time has been spent wisely watching my expanding blu ray collection sifting through mainly classic movies of the 70's and 80's (classic but in all honesty some of my purchases haven't aged well). Also in June I attended the Armegeddon Expo in Wellington where I drooled over a wealth of collectibles many of which were beyond my price range.
My moviegoing though frequent has been a mixed bag of entertaining delights and disapointing failures. The first half of this year has the distinct vibe of playing it safe with sequal after sequal. Stand outs so far for me have been Captain America 2, Godzilla and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.
Spiderman 2 and Transformers however Stand out as boringly predicatable and lacking in pace. Each had their standout moments but there is more boom and bluster present than great story telling.
The direction of my blog will change, I'm a film fan, and not a film reviewer so I will be toning down that part of my blog in favour of book reviews and some blu ray reviews for the collectors amongst my audience. These will be for those with doubts about potential purchases due to potential quality issues. Of course these will be of a Southern Hemisphere slant as that is my location.
So I will be back with more of a local flavour but also I hope a more general chat like vibe. A diary of my geek life, freeing me up to be more open in my opinions.
