Movie Review #44 - Reign of Fire

I missed this movie on the big screen the first time around and always wanted to see it. Seeing that it vanished with barely a trace, I was worried about its quality but I was pleasantly surprised on that score.

First check of the watch - too riveted on the screen to look away.

Movie Review #45 - Akira

Just for a change, I have seen the source material for an adapted film before I saw the film and I am glad that I did - but I still like this movie. Given that this movie is based on some 2000 pages of writing (manga-ing?), it naturally simplifies its source material but, in doing so, it doesn't lose the core of the original story.

First check of the watch - watch? what watch?
