Public Enemies

3/5 I was really eager to see this, the trailer was pretty cool, it was a film by Michael Mann starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, how could you go wrong?? Well pretty easily apparently, this film unfortunately suffers from many flaws, and ones that I believe could have easily been avoided. The story of … Continue reading

Drag Me To Hell

4/5 I have been looking forward to this all year it seems, Sam Raimi back in the Directors seat for a horror film! The trailer looked great, and the more that came out about it, the more excited I was to see it. The reviews had been mostly positive, and it came highly recommended. Basic … Continue reading

[Review] Bronson (2008)

[Review] Bronson (2008)

I had seen the trailer to this and I was blown away (check it out below), I thought it looked pretty awesome and it stars Tom Hardy (Star Trek: Nemesis). It is about a real man named Michael Peterson aka Bronson, who is Britain’s most notorious prisoner. I knew pretty much nothing about the man, … Continue reading

Hostel II

3/5 I finally watched Hostel II, I enjoyed it for the most part. The second half had a few WTF moments, and some nice plot twists I actually didn’t see coming. It wasn’t as gorey as the first I felt though, and it wasn’t as disturbing either. The characters in the first I didn’t want … Continue reading

Let The Right One In

4.5/5 I have been wanting to see this for quite some time, I finally got my shit together and sat down and watched it. I was highly disappointed with Twilight, and a friend of mine had told me that this would wipe away Twilight from memory, and you know what, IT DID! Twi-what??? It is … Continue reading

[Mini Review] Bruno (2009)

(My ramblings as posted on Empire Aus Forum 29th of June 09) Not out till the 8th but I just got back from the Melbourne Premiere and my screening was the first in Australia to see the film! But after seeing it, and I am sure Felicia will agree, I just had to get my … Continue reading

Milk

5/5 I have actually had quite a hard time writing this review, not because I didn’t like it. I loved this film, very much. But I have found it quite difficult to get my feelings out, and I thought I would wait for a second viewing to do so. Last night I watched Milk for … Continue reading

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

3.5/5 I had low expectations going into this, negative reviews, and all sorts of things being said about the film. I was however pleasantly surprised, I enjoyed this film quite a lot. I am a fan of X-Men and X-Men 2, not so much X-Men 3 but I still enjoyed it. I wanted the franchise … Continue reading

Star Trek

4/5 This was a good movie, it was fun, action packed, kept my attention. You haven’t seen a Star Trek movie like this before. Now the few problems I have with this are mostly due to things not really making sense, but since the film is that enjoyable it doesn’t even matter. Casting, they really … Continue reading

W.

3.5/5 I ended up actually liking this more then I expected. I was put off by negative reviews, but I thought meh why not give it a chance. I usually like Oliver Stone’s films, and Josh Brolin has been quite the amazing actor as of late. This basically highlights the events in George W. Bush’s … Continue reading

Killshot

3.5/5 I feel like I’ve been waiting a long time for this, it had a really awesome trailer and a promising cast. For me it delivered, it was pretty much what I expected it to be. Simple plot, a husband (Thomas Jane) and wife (Diane Lane) end up in a situation involving a professional hitman … Continue reading

The Passion Of The Christ

The Passion Of The Christ .5/5 I was watching a Family Guy episode and they mention this film in it. It got me thinking about it again, and I felt the need to write down my feelings about it. Firstly I have to say I hated this film, I thought it was terrible. Nearly everyone … Continue reading

How To Lose Friends And Alienate People

3/5 So yes, this film is based on the memoir of Toby Young, however it is cliqued and predictable. But that doesn’t mean it was bad, infact for the most part it was funny and enjoyable. While in the first 5 minutes you know exactly where it is headed, getting there is rather amusing! Simon … Continue reading
