Let There Be Payne
October 17th. Max Payne – the film.
2008 has been a poor year for movies so far. No, don’t argue; it’s a fact. I’ve not been to the cinema once, not even on a date, not even to view the listings. The only good films to appear on DVD were No Country for Old Men and Rambo, neither terrible nor fantastic in my opinion – however brutal! The only thing that’s come close was 21, and that was hardly Spacey’s finest role.
But things are looking up. The big summer blockbusters are showing at the moment, including Hancock, Wanted, Wall-e (the latest offering from CG masters Pixar), The Dark Knight which promises to be awesome and The Forbidden Kingdom with my 2 favourite generic martial artists – Jet Li and Jackie Chan. As my memory serves, this is a far better serving than last summer. I think it’s time for a trip out to the movies!
But even more exciting is what the Fall (or Autumn to us) has to offer. In particular – sequel the fantastic Casino Royale; Quantum of Solace, and of course – a much awaited yet unexpected big-screen appearance of the dark, troubled and ridiculously violent Max Payne.
More and more game characters are finding their way into movie theaters. Hopefully it won’t be too long now till we finally see a Metal Gear Solid movie. God I hope so!
Snake, Snake, Snnaaaaaakkkee!

Another game-turned-film. Great. Because they’re never shit:
- Tomb Raider
- Hitman
- Final Fantasy
Just the same as films to games, it’s money making crap.
Max Payne will suck.

Ha – that’s the funniest comment I’ve read in ages (well for a web design blog)! Mar-you sarcastic b***ard. Nath I admire you for taking that on the chin!

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. And I see where Mark is coming from – Tomb Raider was dog.
But come on… it’s Max Payne! Just let’s not judge it till we’ve seen it. If it’s poor – I’ll personally let it be known on this very blog.
