Really? I found it to be the most dull film set in the Middle East I've seen since Jarhead. It's better than Jarhead but only just.

Some of the scenes were interesting but the story was plain boring. Nothing happens.]]> Multimedia Sat, 09 Jan 2010 13:37:00 +0000 http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-28.html http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-27.html
The trailers made me worry Avatar was going to look like a computer game but that fear was washed away in the first five minutes. The effects are flawless.

A film can't rely on 3D. It still needs to be a good film but 3D is allowed to actually enhance a film just like colour and sound do.

If you've still got your own teeth the answer is probably none.]]> Multimedia Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:44:00 +0000 http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-27.html http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-26.html

So can it be done?]]> Multimedia Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:28:00 +0000 http://www.mattsbits.co.uk/item-26.html
