Dir: Chandran Rutnam Starring: Ben Kingsley, Ben Cross, Frederick-James Lobato The Film: We all know terrorism is a total ballsac of a thing and the most tragic thing is, we are never truly surprised that it happens on a regular basis.

DVD Review: The Tower [M15] by Bea Harper
Director: Ji-hoon Kim Starring:Ā Kyung-gu Sol, Ye-jin Son, Sang-kyung Kim, In-Pyo Cha The Film: Let’s face it- disaster movies are awesome. They have that certain appeal of showing an almost incomprehensible calamity in all of it’s destructive glory and how the characters involved deal with them. Granted, this genre has been around ever since the birth … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] The Woman In Black (1983)
The Woman In Black Author:Ā Suzanne Hill Year: [1983] Letās face it, in a global saturation of vampires, were-creatures, demons, slashers, very rarely is intelligent horror given a look-in and rarely still is it so simple yet irrepressibly effective. Susan Hillās gothique novella āThe Woman in Blackā is an exercise of a sparse genre (the ghost … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] The Diary Of A Young Girl by Anne Frank (1947)
The Diary of a Young Girl Author: Anne Frank Year: [1947] āThe Diary of a Young Girlā is one of the most enduring, personal and most heart-breaking books ever because it is not a work of fiction but one of fact as seen through the eyes of a girl during the Holocaust during the Nazi … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] RoboCop (1987)
āRobocop (1987)” So, how about that āRobocopā remake trailer? Before I continue with my blathering, I just want to share my own two cents regarding the latest offering in the remake craze. It is so easy to bag this movie based solely on the trailer alone, I know because the first time I watched it, … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War (2006)
āWorld War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie Warā Author: Max Brooks Year: 2006 Allow me to be controversial with you- I am not a huge zombie fan. Let me elaborate- Iām not a huge, indiscriminate zombie fan. Iām not one of those folks who jumps at everything zombie related because truth me told, … Continue reading
[Review] Kick-Ass 2 (2013) by Bea Harper
I honestly do believe that āKick Ass 2ā was made specifically to get a reaction out of itās audience and for all intents and purposes, it worked. The inevitable sequel to the jack in the box hit of 2010, this movie is one of the epitomes of the term āattention whoreā because it wears itās … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter (1979)
I am an enormous fan of fairy tales because they were a huge part of my childhood and have been a huge influence on me as a writer (yeah, I write, whodathunk?). Grimmās fairy stories were my bread and butter in the later years of primary school and that seeped into my high school years, … Continue reading
[Review] Elysium (2013) by Bea Harper
Dir. Neill Blomkamp To a degree, I feel somewhat out of my comfort zone by writing a review for a science fiction film. Not because I didn’t ‘get it’ (I do) or I didn’t enjoy it (I did) but SF has a broad, broad range of subject matter to choose from and as with everything … Continue reading
Blu-ray Review: From Up On Poppy Hill [G] by Bea Harper
Director: Goro Miyazaki The Film: I swear Studio Ghibli will be the death of me because all of the hope that is welling up inside of me is threatening to spill out of every orifice in my body. Howās that for a mental picture? š āFrom Up On Poppy Hillā is another ace in the … Continue reading
[Review] The Wolverine (2013) by Bea Harper
First, just let me get this off my chest. UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!!!!! I think I was in the freakish minority who didn’t hate āX-Men Origins: Wolverineā as much as the general public did. It was heavily flawed and a hodgepodge of good ideas that were unrealised or under-developed, but was it terrible in the sense … Continue reading
Bea’s Top 6 Choices To Play Dracula
There is no reason in downplaying my adoration for the story and character of Dracula considering half of my reviews on the super wonderful SuperMarcey.com have been devoted by the various incarnations of the tale, so I won’t. I love Dracula. He has been in my life before I was even born and he was … Continue reading
[Review] The Conjuring (2013) by Bea Harper
Unlike the majority of the Internet, I never saw the trailer for āThe Conjuringā- I knew of it, I knew it’s basic gist, but I didn’t actually watch it on YouTube or saw it in the theatre prior to it’s release. I was exposed to several movie posters, all of which had a suitably creepy … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Sinister (2012)
āSinister (2012)ā Looking at this poster for Scott Derrickson’s latest fright flick āSinisterā, you can’t help but say āgenericā because that’s exactly how it looks- creepy child with long hair smearing blood across a wall that just happens to form a demonic face. We’ve seen this been done hundreds upon thousands of millions of times … Continue reading
