Comedies can be a rather tricky and divisive genre, everybody has their own unique taste when comes to them. What one person finds funny, another person is going to think that it isn’t funny. It’s the same for me as well. We all have different and specific tastes when it comes to humour. For me … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Scars Of Dracula (1970)
“Scars Of Dracula (1970)” The fifth but far from final excursion into Dracula’s world by Hammer- “Scars of Dracula” is the type of film which really tests a Dracula fan’s loyalty- will you go along with it, or will you despise it with every fibre of your being due to it’s outlandish take on the … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Taste The Blood Of Dracula (1970)
“Taste The Blood Of Dracula (1970)” While “Taste The Blood of Dracula” is not (to me) as solid as the first three canonical Dracula films from Hammer, it doesn’t have the distinct whiff of crap-burger the follow-ups have. Indeed, after watching it again specifically for this review, I can say that it would have actually worked … Continue reading

[Review] Side Effects (2013) by Bede Jermyn
It’s always sad to hear when a director says that that there no longer going to make any more threatrical films, especially if they are still rather young and have plenty more years ahead to do it. But that is what Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh has decided to. While it’ll be sad that we won’t see any more … Continue reading
[Review] Beautiful Creatures (2013) by Bede Jermyn
I have to honest, I wasn’t really looking forward to seeing BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. Based on everything that I had seen from it (the trailers in particular), it looked as though it was going to be another awful to mediocre teen supernatural/romance film that’s trying desperately to capitalize on the success of the pretty bad TWILIGHT … Continue reading
[Mini Review] The Last Stand (2013)
I am a big lover and fan of the action genre, and yes Mr. Schwarzenegger is one of my favourite action stars however he was not the main reason I was so excited for The Last Stand. The film marks the English language film debut for one of my heroes in the film industry, Jee-woon … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (1968)
“Dracula Has Risen From The Grave (1968)” Don’t you just LOVE this poster? Pink band-aids, front cleavage AND sarcasm? By 1968, it was no secret that Christopher Lee was the undisputed Dracula of the generation. Lee had appeared in quite a few other Hammer productions and they had all been quite successful, but his bread … Continue reading
[Review] The Last Stand (2013) by Bede Jermyn
There were two things about the new action film THE LAST STAND that had me excited for it: 1. It marked Arnold Schwarzenegger’s return to leading role status in the action film genre since 2003’s TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES and 2. it is U.S. directing debut of acclaimed South Korean director Jee-woon Kim … Continue reading
Review: Warm Bodies by Nick Bosworth
Attention everyone, this movie is NOT “Twilight”. Okay I had to get that out of the way first and foremost because I’ve been reading around and people still seem to be convinced that just because the plot revolves around an undead romance that it must be “Twilight” and isn’t worth seeing. Well ladies and gents, … Continue reading
[Review] The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) by Bede Jermyn
It’s been nearly 12 years since director Peter Jackson had released his critically acclaimed and multiple Oscar-winning adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic fantasy series THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy unto the world. I rewatched the trilogy again recently having not seen them for a number of years and I can definitely say that without a shred of doubt … Continue reading
[Review] Christmas Classics: Bad Santa (2004)
I love this time of year, and as someone who does celebrate the wonderful commercialism of Christmas, I always grab the Holiday/Christmas movies and watch them during December. So why not talk about some ‘Christmas Classics‘? One of the more recent classics to come out over the last decade is Bad Santa. Who doesn’t love … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula: Prince Of Darkness (1966)
“Dracula: Prince Of Darkness (1966) Dracula- Prince of Darkness” could have failed miserably. It shouldn’t have had the right to have been made, because at heart, Hammer Horror was more about getting the green than truly entertaining it’s fans. Yet, despite these technicalities, “DPOD” really is a worthy follow-up to the it’s predecessor. While ”Brides … Continue reading
