Dir: Alan Arkush Starring: P.J. Soles, Paul Bartel, The Ramones The Film: Who doesn’t love a good musical? How about when the music is rock and features The Ramones? Oh yes ROCK ‘N’ ROLL HIGH SCHOOL, the complete opposite of GREASE that actually features the band whose music they use. This is a fun film … Continue reading

DVD Review: Sawney – Flesh Of Man [R18] by Bea Harper
Dir: Ricky Wood Starring: David Hayman, Samuel Feeney, Gavin Mitchell The Film: When Mistress Marcey asked me if I would like to review a film about a deranged, depraved cult of inbred cannibals that is based on a true story, do you know what I said? “Well shit, yipee!”. No, seriously, I did. When it … Continue reading
Blu-ray Review: Kiki’s Delivery Service [G] by Bea Harper
Director: Hayao Miyazaki The Film: First thing’s first, I want to thank Marcey for sending me this movie to re-watch, it really means a lot to me! By now, it’s no surprise that Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli is wonderful due to their consistent work on anime films that span multiple genres and that it’s is … Continue reading
Blu-ray Review: You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger [M15]
Dir: Woody Allen Starring: Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Gemma Jones, Freid Pinto, Lucy Punch, Naomi Watts The Film: You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger is a 2010 Woody Allen film, one that has perhaps slipped a little under the radar in favour of Midnight In Paris, despite that being made after this. … Continue reading
DVD Review: Sushi Girl [MA15]
Dir: Kern Saxton Starring: Noah Hathaway, Tony Todd, Mark Hamill, James Duval, Andy Mackenzie The Film: The best way I can describe Sushi Girl is to say that it is deliciously fucked up. Some of the films cast members whom I had the pleasure of meeting liked that description, and in discussing the film with … Continue reading
DVD Review: Shadow Dancer [M15] by Bede Jermyn
Director: James Marsh Starring: Clive Owen, Andrea Riseborough, Gillian Anderson, Aiden Gillen The Film: I have to admit that I wasn’t sure what to expect with SHADOW DANCER, but the main thing that I did know about it was that was a critically acclaimed spy film that dealt with the IRA (Irish Republican Party). I … Continue reading
DVD Review: Comic Con Episode IV – A Fan’s Hope [MA15] by Garrett Collins
Director: Morgan Spurlock Featuring: Stan Lee, Kevin Smith, Joss Whedon, Fans The Film: I don’t normally like to start reviews off with anecdotes, but I feel in this case it is needed to put the subject of this Morgan Spurlock documentary into perspective: Back in the winter of 1976, executives at 20th Century Fox really … Continue reading
DVD Review: Punching The Clown [M15]
Punching The Clown is hilarious, I watched this film three times in the span of a week and it held up, I still laughed hard and it lost nothing. It isn’t a common thing where a comedy can hold up so well, especially upon multiple viewings in such a short span of time. Continue reading
DVD Review: Four Assassins [M15] by Bea Harper
Dir: Stanley J. Orzel Starring: Will Yun Lee, Miguel Ferre, Emilie Guillot The Film: I honestly wanted to like this film. Really. In a basic, non-spoilery synopsis, this film could have been a tense and relentless bite of a dramiller (my amalgamation of drama/thriller, like it?) that could have been a sleeper hit. Unfortunately, this … Continue reading
Blu-ray Review: The Thieves [M15] by Bea Harper
Director: Choi Dong Hoon Starring: Yun-seok Kim, Hae-suk Kim, Jung-Jae Lee, Angelica Lee The Film: Ah, South Korea, again you delight me. Any indiscriminate film lover has their favourite genre flick, sometimes two or three, and I’m completely going to forgo the segue here because I can’t be any more verbose, but those who love … Continue reading
Blu-ray Review: War Of The Arrows [M15] by Bea Harper
Director: Han-min Kim Starring: Hae-il Park, Seung-yong Ryoo, Chae-won Moon, Mu-Yeol Kim The Film: To me, human mythology is human history and vice versa. Be it great or small, humanity is very much it’s own gods, heroes, saints and sinners, but while the mythological fable acts mainly in the interest of cautionary tale, human fable … Continue reading
Blu-ray Review: Arbitrage [MA15]
Director: Nicholas Jarecki Starring: Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, Tim Roth, Brit Marling The Film: I’ve been a Richard Gere fan for as long as I can remember, it was my mother who introduced me to him, as he is her favourite actor. I’ve always thought he was great, and even better in films that really … Continue reading
DVD Review: The Wicked [MA15]
Dir: Peter Winther Starring: Devon Werkheiser, Justin Deeley, Jess Adams, Jamie Kaler, Caitlin Carmichael The Film: I am always up for a film about a legend, and The Wicked sounded like it had a good premise. I usually proceed with caution with these sorts of films, some promise the world and deliver a grain of … Continue reading
