Movie Steak

If you’re a fan of the Final Fantasy series you may well already be famailiar with the storyline behind the franchise. Humans are living in cities after an invasion of an alien race known as phantoms. As with several other franchises, the transition from game to movie allows them to expand the back story quite considerably.

The film has ace animations and is well worth a watch for fans of the game. As a stand alone movie it doesn’t have quite such a strong appeal so it comes down to what kind of films you like - if you’re a sci-fi fan that enjoys films like Firefly then you will probably enjoy it. Otherwise, give it a miss.

Kevin Smith’s cult classic Clerks was a fantastic movie and goes as far as to get a sequel in the form of Clerks II. The movie sees the return of Dante and Randal working at a fictional fast food restaurant named Mooby’s. Jay and Silent Bob are also back as well as some fantastic jokes. If you loved the first one, you’ll love this one too.

Randal: Terrorists?
Dante: (shakes his head)
Randal: I left the coffee pot on again didn’t I?
Dante: (nods his head)

I’m going to take some time out from the regular (ha, regular) features of news and reviews to share some thoughts.

Why is it that when a movie is on TV, it’s more attractive than DVD? For instance, last night Lord of the Rings: The Followship of the Ring was being broadcast on Channel 4. I really wanted to watch it but I had to work. But what does it really matter? I have it sitting on DVD on my shelf. I could be watching it now. But I’m not.
