tf.jpg Just got back from watching the Transformers with Yanni. To be honest, I really don't think I could have watched this movie and enjoyed it as much as I did with anyone but Yanni. See we both grew up watching and playing with the Transformers. We've had countless arguments about them , with them and because of them.

200705paprika.jpg Saturday evening, Jackie, Fern and I went to the 6th Annual Sci-fi and Fantasy Festival in London. This was part of the anime all-nighter. We started off the night at 12 and finished at 9am in the morning. I've never done this sort of thing but I've got to say that it was a lot of fun, mainly because I can say that I actually made it through and I only slept through one movie, which to be honest was pure garbage (I'm actually referring to "LE CHEVALIER D'EON"). That isn't to say that there wasn't any rubbish movies (fucking hell Highlander was utter shit), but rather I didn't feel the actual urge and need to sleep through them. All of that aside, for me however the night absolutely peaked with 'Paprika'. I'll go so far as to say that the entire night was worth it mainly due to Paprika. This is the new movie from Satoshi Kon. The man who's given us Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers gives his best movie to date. He's now in that league of directors that are truly destined for greatness. He's up there right now with the likes of Christopher Nolan and Brad Bird. The sort of person that you actively hunt his older stuff because you want to see if there was genunie sparks of genius back then and he's been building since then. Having watched both Perfect Blue and Tokyo Godfathers, I've got to say that Paprika is without a doubt his crowning achievement, so far (he's still at the start of his game as far as I'm concerned). The highest accolade I can give this movie is that it is to Japan what Amelie is to France. Yes it's that bloody good.

Red State? Kevin Smith's new movie is going to be a 'horror' movie? Seriously didn't see that one coming. How's he going to put Affleck in that one?

300_1.jpg Frank Miller's 300 had my money several times over from the moment I heard it was going to be made. Then came the trailer and I nearly came in my pants several times over (I know not a pretty vision but at least I'm being truthful). Then I shared the trailer with Stathi and Christos and while I thought I was excited, these guys were even more excited about this movie than I was. Honestly between the three of us we've probably seen the trailer like 3000 times.

As I continue my review of 2006, go read part 1 if you want to find out my thoughts on The best of the Net 2006, I'm turning my attention to movies. Interestingly I think this year has been one of the worst years for movies in a really long time. That isn't to say that I haven't enjoyed a good number of movies this year, it's just that I found less time for movies this year, which I can probably attribute to the lack of quality flicks being shown this year.
