Australian director James Wan has definitely come a long way in the nine years since his debut film in 2004. He directed a film that started one of the biggest horror franchises in the last decade with SAW and then went on to make many more really good films in either the action and horror genres. … Continue reading

[RRFF ’13] Gentlemen Of Fortune (2012) by Bea Harper
Authors Note: First, my apologies- this review was meant to be submitted at an earlier date, just so you know, I feel like a total horse’s arse because this movie has quickly become one of my favourite foreign comedies and it enforces the fact I’m a lousy contributor. The original “Gentlemen of Fortune” was another … Continue reading

[Review] The Lone Ranger (2013) by Bea Harper
I have always had a huge affinity for the pulp serials of the 30’s- oh yeah, they were HARDLY politically correct when it came to matters such as ethnicity, gender roles and the portrayal of human condition, but they were also simple and most importantly, escapist. Considering the time when this media was available, tough … Continue reading
[Review] Man Of Steel (2013) by Daniel McIntosh
Well finally after 7 years we finally have Superman gracing the screens of our local multiplex cinemas. I have seen the movie twice now and I am still trying to work out exactly how I feel about it. No doubt I will inevitably see it again at the cinema before it finishes its run. You … Continue reading

Dir: Paul Ziller Cast: Marc Menard, Carly Pope, Adam O’Byrne, Elfina Luk, Brandon Jay McLaren, Crystal Lowe, Christain Tessier, Kris Pope, Taras Kostyuk, Ona Grauer, Peter DeLuise. The Film: Anyone who knows me knows it’s no secret that I watch terrible movies on a regular basis (hence my nickname the Terrible Australian, I watch the films that nobody else wants to). … Continue reading
Bea’s Facebook Follies: Resident Evil
Speaking objectively, as a general film in terms of entertainment, the first ‘Resident Evil’ really isn’t a bad effort. If we forget for a moment what the series would become (that is an entire CLUSTERFUCK of money, time and potential talent), this movie made more of a concious effort to be a standalone rather than … Continue reading
Bea’s Facebook Follies: Resident Evil – Retribution
And now, the latest slap in the face to the ‘Resident Evil’ franchise, ‘Retribution’. At first I thought this movie was trying to be fancy giving itself this subtitle, but the more I think about it, the more appropriate it seems- retribution on it’s suffering audience for being optimistic, retribution on those who still think … Continue reading
Bea’s Facebook Follies: Breaking Dawn Part 2
First impressions are indeed everything when it comes to making a reputation of oneself. Thusly, welcome to my inaugural new article “Facebook Follies”, which is similar to The Terrible Australian’s Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon, only on Facebook and hopefully more movies that are less likely to make Baby Jesus cry. I will be doing a blow-by-blow … Continue reading
[RRFF ’13] A Long And Happy Life
A Long And Happy Life might be the title of the film, but it is certainly misleading and purposely so. I think the title is about the longing for a happy life, which is what I feel our main character Sasha (Aleksandr Yatsenko) wants. He’s moved to rural Russia hoping for that long and happy … Continue reading
[Review] Monsters University (2013)
Monsters University is the long awaited prequel to Pixar’s 2001 hit Monsters Inc. While the company has done sequels, this is their first prequel and it is an intriguing idea. Kids and adults alike were introduced to the world of the monsters, and more specifically two monster friends Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal) and Sully … Continue reading
[Review] Fast and Furious 6 (2013) by Dan McIntosh
So it has been 2 years since we last saw a Fast and Furious movie in the cinema. Was it worth the wait? In short yes. Fast and Furious 6 is a direct continuation of the story and events established in Fast Five and we see the return of the cast ensemble from that film … Continue reading
[Review] World War Z (2013)
Zombies really have been such a big deal in pop culture for many years, at times the market does feel a little saturated. It is hard to pick and chose from what’s on offer, with so many things being very much alike. Fans do pay attention when the sub-genre offers something a little different, with … Continue reading
Bede’s Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon #3: Batman & Robin
Hey everyone! Welcome to my 3rd edition of my Bad Movie Tweet-A-Thon series. Two weeks ago over the SuperMarcey.com Facebook page I posted up poll with three bad movies and I said that whichever one out of those three films had the highest votes, I would watch and live-tweet for this column. Well, the votes are in and you … Continue reading
