DVD Review: La Soga [MA15]
Dir: Josh Crook Starring: Manny Perez, Denise Quiñones The Film: I am always keen to check out crime thrillers and revenge films, so when La Soga came along I was quite excited to check this one out.

DVD Review: Anuvahood [M15]
Dir: Adam Deacon, Daniel Toland Starring: Adam Deacon, Femi Oyeniran, Ollie Barbieri, Jaime Winstone The Film: Anuvahood is an odd film, and it really isn’t something easy to write a review about. On the one hand it is a really silly and just all over the place kind of film but on the other hand … Continue reading
DVD Review: 22nd Of May [MA15]
Dir: Koen Mortier Starring: Sam Louwyck, François Beukelaers, Titus De Voogdt The Film: 22nd Of May will certainly go down as one of the more unique films I have seen recently.

Dir: Brad Ellis Starring: Matthew Stiller, Rachel Miles, Allen C. Gardner, Rachel Kimsey, Clare Grant, Kim Justis, Dennis Phillippi, Michael Gravois.

DVD Review: Small Town Murder Songs [M15]
Dir: Ed Gass-Donnelly Starring: Peter Stormare, Aaron Poole, Martha Plimpton, Jill Hennessy The Film: I really liked Small Town Murder Songs, the small town with a mystery setting, a main character whose past still haunts him, a murder to be solved, what isn’t there to draw in the audience? Sure these elements are not new, … Continue reading
DVD Review: Stalingrad [MA15]
Dir: Joseph Vilsmaier Starring: Dominique Horwitz, Thomas Kretschmann, Jochen Nickel, Sebastian Rudolph, Sylvester Groth, Martin Benrath, Dana Vavrova The Film: I almost feel ashamed to say I had not heard of Stalingrad the film until recently, which is quite odd because of what type of film this is. War World II films are nothing new, … Continue reading
DVD Review: The Round-Up (2010)
Dir: Rose Bosch Starring: Jean Reno, Mélanie Laurent The Film: I along with many filmgoers can safely say that we’ve seen our fair share of “holocaust” or “concentration camp” movies over the past decade or so and going back even further obviously with classics such as SCHINDLER’S LIST. I must say though that while starting … Continue reading
DVD Review: Terri [M15]
Dir: Azazel Jacobs Starring: Jacob Wysocki, John C. Reilly The Film: Terri is going to be a like it or didn’t film, and unfortunately for me it was a didn’t.

DVD Review: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold [M15]
Dir: Morgan Spurlock The Documentary: The entire premise for this film is to make a documentary about branding, advertising and product placement in film and fund said film by those very means. It is a strange concept and one that could work if done correctly. I don’t think Spurlock really reached the pull potential here, … Continue reading
