[Review] Kick-Ass 2 (2013) by Bea Harper

[Review] Kick-Ass 2 (2013) by Bea Harper

I honestly do believe that “Kick Ass 2” was made specifically to get a reaction out of it’s audience and for all intents and purposes, it worked. The inevitable sequel to the jack in the box hit of 2010, this movie is one of the epitomes of the term ‘attention whore’ because it wears it’s … Continue reading

[Review] jOBS (2013) by Daniel McIntosh

Well we all knew that it was inevitable that a movie about the late Steve Jobs was going to be made given that Aaron Sorkin’s Oscar-winning movie THE SOCIAL NETWORK showed that movies about tech giants who revolutionised our way of life could be box office and critical successes. More so the impetus for a … Continue reading

[Review] The Frozen Ground (2013)

[Review] The Frozen Ground (2013)

Films about real serial killers are always intriguing because it is based on events that actually happened. Some films do take more liberties than others, while some end up being flat out insulting. Preference for me is definitely the more serious ones, ones that actually tell a good story and don’t spit in the face … Continue reading

[Review] Elysium (2013) by Bea Harper

Dir. Neill Blomkamp To a degree, I feel somewhat out of my comfort zone by writing a review for a science fiction film. Not because I didn’t ‘get it’ (I do) or I didn’t enjoy it (I did) but SF has a broad, broad range of subject matter to choose from and as with everything … Continue reading

[Review] The Wolverine (2013) by Bea Harper

First, just let me get this off my chest. UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!!!!! I think I was in the freakish minority who didn’t hate “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” as much as the general public did. It was heavily flawed and a hodgepodge of good ideas that were unrealised or under-developed, but was it terrible in the sense … Continue reading

[Review] Lovelace (2013)

[Review] Lovelace (2013)

Seems odd that the advertising material for this film seems to shine on the fact that Linda Lovelace is known for starring in a porn film, and her story is anything but shining on the porn industry. However that element (her anti-porn crusade) is left out of this film and it instead decides to show … Continue reading

[Review] Pain & Gain (2013)

[Review] Pain & Gain (2013)

I now have a strong candidate for Worst Film Of 2013, PAIN & GAIN is one of the most awful films I have seen recently. It was a task to sit through and that feels like a compliment. Michael Bay is a very hit and miss director, I do believe his best days are very … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Sinister (2012)

“Sinister (2012)” Looking at this poster for Scott Derrickson’s latest fright flick “Sinister”, you can’t help but say “generic” because that’s exactly how it looks- creepy child with long hair smearing blood across a wall that just happens to form a demonic face. We’ve seen this been done hundreds upon thousands of millions of times … Continue reading
