DVD Review: Sushi Girl [MA15]

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

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).

DVD Review: Four Assassins [M15] by Bea Harper

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: 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]

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]

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
