[Bea’s Reviews] Star Wars: The Force Awakens [2015]
As you can perhaps surmise, this video offers more of an opinion than an actual in-depth film review. The Force Awakens is a return to form for a franchise that had until recently suffered a rocky road (though Star Wars Rebels is a wonderful show and addition to the universe). Now, does that make it … Continue reading
Bea’s Experience With ‘Star Wars’ – A personal opinion
Star Wars is important, you don’t need me of all people to tell you that, but rather than review and critique the series up to this point (and let’s face it, could I honestly add anything that hasn’t already been said about the movies?) I’m going to offer you a very personal insight as to how … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] The Mists Of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
Author: Marion Zimmer Bradley Published: 1982 The portrayal of complex yet powerful women still remains a sensitive task in all forms of media, though not always from a lack of trying. Arthurian Legend is a gargantuan entity in the realm of folklore filled to the brim with political intrigue, epic quests, prophecy and magic but … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Quills [2000] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Philip Kaufman Starring: Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet, Joaquin Phoenix, Michael Caine and Billie Whitelaw Hurting others for personal pleasure has been around since the dawn of the human species, but it wasn’t given a formal name until the affluent and salacious nobleman the Marquis de Sade strode on the scene and gave the practice … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Crimson Peak [2015] by Bea Harper w/ Special Guest Ollie The Chozo
Dir.: Guillermo del Toro Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddelston, Doug Jones and Charlie Hunnam Wow.

Crimson Peak isn’t del Toro’s finest hour as … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] A Serbian Film [2010] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Srban Spasojević Starring: Srđan Todorović, Sergej Trifunović, Jelena Gavrilović and Slobodan Bešti WARNING: Sensitive issues arise in this video. Buckle up. You’ve heard of it all. Filthy, disgusting, depraved, heinous, morally repugnant, inhumane and cruel being one of many descriptors of this film that has garnered so much hatred from people who haven’t even seen it. Make no doubt … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Macbeth [2015]
Dir.: Justin Kurzel Starring: Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, David Thewlis, Sean Harris, Elizabeth Debicki and Paddy Considine So fair and foul a film I have ever seen. Macbeth to this day remains my number one favourite play by The Bard- ruthless ambition, misguided faith, the price of entitlement, forced destiny, political intrigue and deep-rooted corruption, … Continue reading

[A.J. and Bea’s Review Exchange] House On Haunted Hill [1959]
Dir.: William Castle Starring: Vincent Price and Carol Omhart (let’s face it, they are the only two that count) Cheesey, dated and not the least bit serious, schlock master William Castle’s House On Haunted Hill keeps its head above acid with a delicious snide double act performance from Price and Omhart as spiteful spouses Fredrick … Continue reading

[A.J And Bea’s Review Exchange] Dracula’s Daughter [1936] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Lambert Hilyer Starring: Gloria Holden, Otto Kruger, Edward Van Sloan and Irving Pritchell Loosely (very, verrrry loosely) based on Bram Stoker’s novella Dracula’s Guest, Dracula’s Daughter is a surprisingly effective and compelling tale about Countess Marya Zaleska, the daughter of Dracula, looking to liberate herself from her blasphemous bloodline, but as expected, the affairs are … Continue reading
[A.J And Bea’s Review Exchange] The Revenge of Frankenstein [1958] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Terrence Fisher Starring: Peter Cushing, Francis Matthews, Michael Gwynn and Eunice Gayson Doctor Frankenstein, despite facing certain death for his past crimes obviously didn’t learn a single solitary thing when it comes to scientific ethics and playing God. Taking place minutes after where the first film left of, we join Victor and victims friends on … Continue reading

Dir.: John McTiernan Starring: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Irons *Correction: The Rodney King incident took place in 1991 and the L.A Riots took place in 1992. Ahhhh, this movie. THIS.
