Golden Globe Blunders

By Delrondu | Cinema, Rambles

I can’t believe Glee won the “best damn thing on TV right now”. Was everything else so bad and I zombied through? I don’t believe so. To see 30 Rock lose to this tween-to-teen favourite is like giving an Oscar to Twilight or New Moon. And James Cameron winning best director? OK, understandable. But (as

SilverScreen On Hiatus

By Delrondu | Cinema, Confession

And on that previous note, I have decided to halt all updates on silverscreen.thinkbrunei.com. Reason being I no longer have the time and energy to continuously update it with every movie I watch. This year is about making positive changes inside and out so this will be one of the changes. I choose to update

Pandorum (6/10)

By Delrondu | Cinema

This is for my own records and reference more than anything else as I just realised I’ve never entered this, not here or Silverscreen. This was another one of those science fiction horror.

Inglourious Basterds (7/10)

Second, while trying to sell of my Xperia X1, I came across a very immature buyer (who probably isn’t matured yet) and he keeps sending me curse-texts

How To Lose Friends And Alienate People (5/10)

By Delrondu | Cinema

Simon Pegg doing his thing again. Some of the gags were old and boring but some really left me gagging. But none were brilliant enough to be memorable. So it was just a nice and entertaining movie good for some laughs. The story had a familiar formula to it even though there were tweaks here

Sherlock Holmes (7/10)

By Delrondu | Cinema

It had a lot going on. And probably too much. And that explained the long runtime. Unlike the stories that we have come to love from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, this version of Sherlock Holmes has just as much action as there are sleuthing; perhaps even more. Director Guy Ritchie did delve into the character’s
