[RRFF ’12] Siberia, Monamour
Siberia, Monamour was quite a different film than the others I saw as part of the Russian Resurrection Film Festival. This was a much darker and depressing film, yet by the end there was a sense of hope and the impossible suddenly felt possible. This is the kind of film that isn’t an easy watch, … Continue reading

DVD Review: Being Elmo – A Puppeteer’s Journey [G]
As someone who grew up watching Sesame Street and The Muppets, these wonderful puppet creations pioneered by Jim Henson have been a huge part of my life. I used to watch Sesame Street almost every day, I had books of Sesame Street, and I enjoyed the antics of Kermit the Frog and gang. Continue reading

DVD Review: The Kid With A Bike [M15]
The story is simple for The Kid With A Bike, it isn’t something that over complicates itself and it manages to tell its story successfully in under 90 minutes. Continue reading

[RRFF ’12] My Boyfriend Is An Angel
Every so often a film comes out of the angel-sub genre variety, and they certainly range in subject matter. I prefer films such as Dogma, and try and avoid the City Of Angels type … Continue reading

Blu-ray Review: The Raid [MA15]
Dir: Gareth Evans Starring: Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian, Joe Taslim, Donny Alamsyah, Pierre Gruno, Tegar Satrya, Ray Sahetapy The Film: The Raid is a film right up my alley, a mixture of action/martial arts/horror/thriller are all the elements that really make me tick as a film fan. There had been nothing but positive reviews and … Continue reading

DVD Review: Treasure Of The Black Jaguar [MA15]
Dir: Mike Bruce Starring: Cameron Van Hoy, Michael Drayer, Timothy V. Murphy The Film: Treasure Of The Black Jaguar is quite the journey; it’s a rather different film and a modern type of grindhouse one. For me this was a rather cool film, one that just does not come up very often. The driving force … Continue reading
Marcey & A.J.’s September Blog-a-Thon – Week 1: Miracle Mile
Miracle Mile is a product of the Cold War era, and the paranoia it pounded into people. The film has a simple premise, with a young man answering the phone at a phone booth in the early hours of the morning, and hearing a warning about missiles hitting the city in around an hour’s time. Continue reading

[RRFF ’12] Two Days (Два дня)
Two Days is a romantic/comedy/drama, and an unexpected one. Heading into this film, I felt a little unsure of what sort of film it was going to be. The first act reveals a few hints, but it is during its middle act where it’s true colours are really shown, and I was delighted by what … Continue reading

Blu-ray Review: Merantau [MA15]
Merantau was the first film in many years produced in Indonesia and it brought forth their martial arts Pencat Silat. That is a key component in this film, and I think after seeing this film many people will certainly want to know more (seek out Gareth Evan’s documentary Pencat Silat: The Martial Arts of Indonesia for more). The story here is about the ancient rite of passage known as ‘merantau’, which is from native Sumatra. Continue reading

DVD Review: Rabies [MA15]
Dir: Aharon Keshales, Navot Papushado Starring: Lior Ashkenazi, Danny Geva, Ania Bukstein The Film: Rabies (Kalevet) was a film I had heard about some time ago, it was being billed as the first Israeli slasher film. This certainly got my attention, and I wondered whether I would get to see it and how it would … Continue reading

DVD Review: The Guest Room [MA15]
Dir: Henry Olek Starring: Ross McCall, Susan Priver, Jude Ciccolella The Film: The Guest Room (aka Serving Up Richard) is an odd gem of a film, and it is surprisingly engaging despite being labelled as a cannibal film. Now I have nothing against cannibal sub-genre films, this element worked well for Hannibal Lector for example, … Continue reading

DVD Review: Passion Play [M15]
Dir: Mitch Glazer Starring: Mickey Rourke, Megan Fox, Bill Murray, Rhys Ifans, Kelly Lynch The Film: Passion Play has a bit of a reputation behind it, it was panned by critics when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival back in 2010 and it hasn’t quite recovered since. It has that reputation of being … Continue reading
