THE LIFEGUARD

2013 DIRECTOR: Liz W. Garcia NOT A PART OF OUR COLLECTION May Contain Spoilers! Will we be adding this to our collection? NO Well, if you like watching an R rated film, which thinks that it is giving and insight in to the life of a twenty-something who can not accept her grown up life, told…

FROZEN (3D)

2013 DIRECTORS: Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee May Contain Spoilers! What can I say. I like it. And not just because I'm the father of a little girl, and step-father to more, but because it is a genuine classic. This is, to me, the Up (2009) that Disney Animation have been waiting for since animation…

IMAX @ 45

MIssed it! The 45th anniversary of IMAX's debut at the Expo '70 in Osaka, Japan, which took place on the 15th May 1970. That's right, the all be it unknown IMAX short, Tiger's Child (1970) premiered at the show, the year before the first permanent installation was opened to the public. IMAX has come along way…

RARE 3D TITLES OF THE MODERN ERA

- Of the modern 3D era, which is essentially 2007 to the present, several movies have made limited appearances in IMAX 3D. The first was an early example of IMAX's attempts to use 3D in mainstream cinema, with Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix (2007) and Superman Returns (2006) both contain segments of 3D. But…

JURASSIC WORLD (3D)

2015 DIRECTOR: Colin Trevorrow CINEMA REVIEW Contains Spoilers! Will we be adding this to our collection? YES With my hopes raised by the four star reviews across the board, I ventured into Jurassic World daring to expect the sequel to Jurassic Park (1993), which I have been waiting for since the summer of 1993. It was…

TANGLED EVER AFTER (3D)

2012 There's not really much that you can say about and eight minute short, to what is basically a sequel of sorts, to the original Tangled (2011) except that in this case, it was way better than the original! Fun, sharp and witty Chameleon and basically ignoring the two stars in favour of the horse and…

A CENTURY OF 3-D

1915: The first known exhibition of a 3-D film was on June 10th of that year, 100 years ago today. Yes, that's right, the "new" 3-D fad in just that, "new" as in the latest of many attempts to lift images off the screen and thrill audiences with what over 90 years later, Christopher Nolan…

REVIEW OF THE OPTOMA HD141x HD 3D PROJECTOR

Last week was my first real opportunity to run-in and test of the Optima HD141x, and what can I say? After spending my teenage years using 8mm and 16mm projectors, it wasn't until May 2003 that I first moved into LCD projection. I began with a Sanyo PLV-Z1, which was obviously pre-HDMI and in turn, pre-HD and…

TRANSCENDENCE (3D)

2014 DIRECTOR: Wally Pfister NOT A PART OF OUR COLLECTION May Contain Spoilers! Will we be adding this to our collection? NO Wally Pfister has made his mark in Hollywood with his long collaboration with director Christopher Nolan, one which came to an end after The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Pfister was the Cinematographer who helped to create so much…

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (3D)

2014 DIRECTOR: James Gunn May Contain Spoilers! A couple of years ago, it sounded crazy. The distance between Iron Man and the clearly Star Wars inspired Guardians Of The Galaxy seemed to be infinite, but here we are. As a comic book movie fan rather than a comic book fan, it's harder for me to accept…
