That's actually hilarious.

Video game movies suck, yes? Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark, Mortal Kombat. Yeah they pretty much all waver between God-awful and depressingly disastrous. But I went to see a movie recently that may very well defy this fact. A fact that has been written in stone ever since Bob Hoskins popped out of a green pipe and yelled ‘Mamma Mia!’.

This Movie is: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. Now I know it’s not a video game, all you pedantic boffins will know it’s based on a comic book written by Bryan Lee O’Malley, but it is a video game movie! It just is! It’s so awesome! From the moment it starts you know it’s a video game movie. The Universal logo is presented to you in 16-bit format with an 8-bit version of the theme. Okay movie…you have gained your first star.

New Blog - Movies.

So I've decided to start a new blog to go on top of my other blog. I've decided to do this because I tend to write at least something about every film I see and as I generally see a fair amount of movies there are inevitably a fair amount of posts generated banging on about them. This is cluttering up my blog too much so I decided the smart thing to do was to create a new blog entirely that will be 100% dedicated to movies.

I shall move all of the movie posts from my other blog to this one which will probably take more that 10 minutes. Sigh.

Hopefully you'll enjoy reading my blogs as much as I enjoy writing them! Thanks for reading!

The other blog is still at: papyrusandcrayons.blogspot.co.uk
