Vitriolic sarcasm aside, it is hyperbolic and rather melodramatic to … Continue reading

From ze face!


Yeah, I haven’t posted anything in a bit (even though I keep working on the same four posts) and given how well my most recent comment from an ongoing discussion occurring on my facebook page came out, I figured that I would share it here.

If you are not familiar with this parody duo, which often claims to be New Zealand’s former 4th most popular folk … Continue reading

The Hurt Locker


At first glance(at the preview), The Hurt Locker may seem to be another dumb war film, or a dumb war film by the standards set in the past, but once one begins to watch this piece of cinema, it is almost instantaneously apparent why it is the most critically acclaimed film, gaining a average score … Continue reading
