4/5 A really great movie from the early 90’s, one that certainly got me through my youth. Always alot of fun to revisit! A good little action film aimed at the teenages about a group of terrorists who take control over a prep school with a bunch of trouble making boys. A really good cast … Continue reading

[Rewind] Mini Review: Down By Law
Down By Law What a fantastic film! I just love this, so many fantastic moments! Superb performances by John Lurie as Jack, Tom Waits as Zach and Roberto Benigni as Roberto ‘Bob’. The three men find themselves sharing a jail cell. Then one day they escape and find themselves lost not knowing what do to. … Continue reading
[Mini Review] 27 Dresses (2008)
Yes, it is another typical rom/com, you know exactly where it is going to go and how it is going to end. However it wasn’t all that bad, I think thanks to some really nice performances from Katherine Heigl and James Marsden (Who is really adorable I might add). 27 Dresses tells the story of … Continue reading
[Mini Review] American Gangster (2007)
I must say this is epic! Ridley Scott does that well I must say! This is an excellent film, fantastic direction, script, acting, just everything! Sure this story is not new, but that doesn’t mean anything when it is told well. Denzel is excellent, a role perfectly suited to him. Russell Crowe is pretty good … Continue reading
Rescue Dawn
4.5/5 Been waiting to see this one for awhile, it had a strong trailer, but I didn’t expect to like it this much! Christian Bale owns this movie, he truly is one of the best actors working today! What he would have gone through to make this movie, sheesh I don’t even want to know. … Continue reading
Fido
4/5 Hmm what can you classify this movie as? For me it was like some perfect 50’s show that just happened tofeature zombie’s and kids with guns! I had not laughed so hard at movies opening for such a long time! It was done so perfect, with the errr I guess you could call it … Continue reading
Hatchet
3.5/5 I had heard so many good things about this, I didn’t really know what to expect. Turns out this is fucking hilarious! Doesn’t take itself seriously at all, it really isn’t all that original either, but you know what, that doesn’t matter! You have some pretty cool cameos from Robert Englund and Tony Todd … Continue reading
Shoot ‘Em Up
3.5/5 What can you say about this one? It’s insane basically! This is along the same lines as Crank, just go, go, go, mental action! Although the action in this is a bit more over the top! You obviously can’t take this seriously, you just have to switch off and enjoy the show. Clive Owen … Continue reading
Death Sentence
4/5 I have to say, for the type of movie this was I really, really liked it! Basically its about an all round nice guy Nick (Kevin Bacon) who witnesses his son getting killed during a gang initiation. Things happen and Nick decides to get revenge, and an all out war happens between Nick and … Continue reading
Manhunter
4.5/5 I realllly realllly love this movie, I like the way its put together, I like the story, I like the actors. I’d rather not compare this to Red Dragon, while they are based on the same novel I think they are quite different in their own ways. I think William Peterson was perfect as … Continue reading
Eastern Promises
4.5/5 I finally got around to seeing this, and I really did love it, I do have to see it again though. This was quite an interesting film for Cronenberg, the whole Russian mob thing and all. Viggo was just simply amazing, and how he got through that infamous fight scene is beyond me! Naomi … Continue reading
The Legend Of 1900
5/5 Caught this on TV last night by surprise, went to go to sleep and this was starting. I just adore and love this film so much, it just felt even better seeing it again (It really needs to be in my collection.). It has a strange story, about a man (Tim Roth) who was … Continue reading
The Ron Clark Story (The Triumph)
3.5/5 Above average made for TV movie, about the teacher who goes to a tough school and teaches the kids they can become something. Sure its nothing new, but this is a true story lol! What makes this work is Matthew Perry who really is perfect for the role of Ron Clark. He gives an … Continue reading
[Rewind] Mini Review: Donnie Brasco
Donnie Brasco Took me long enough to actually sit down and watch this. Pretty much what I expected, how can you go wrong with the likes of Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Michael Madsen (Yes I like him) and Bruno Kirby to name a few? Well simply you can’t, and what you get is the true … Continue reading
