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 film I didn’t watch last December and I was reminded about this year, is the 90’s classic The … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Horror Of Dracula (1958)
“Horror Of Dracula” (1958) While Lugosi’s Count of Counts was generally a one-off affair, Dracula was resurrected again by Hammer Films in the formidable shape of Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee which turned out to become a long-running franchise full of hits and misses. While the 70’s Hammer fully embraced sex, blood and nudity, in … Continue reading
[Review] The Sapphires (2012)
So I have an odd relationship with Australian cinema, I just don’t watch it all that often. It seems like all the notiable films are either about how depressing life is or about crime/murder. Now sure I loved Snowtown and Animal Kingdom, films that were far from pleasant to watch but I just can’t sit … Continue reading
[Review] Pitch Perfect (2012)
Yes, I am a fan of Glee and yes I enjoy films and television shows set in High School or College. What Glee and Pitch Perfect offer that I also like is music but music done in a different way. Pitch Perfect does what Glee does and gives us songs we know performed with a … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] In The Mouth Of Madness (1994)
“In The Mouth Of Madness” (1994) ‘In The Mouth of Madness‘ is a film by John Carpenter that has a special place in my heart, not because it was slapped like a red-haired step-child (why that phrase is used confounds me) badly upon it’s release (Why? Because it was intelligent and dared to be different?) … Continue reading
[Review] Hate Crime (2012)
Horror is a genre I love, that is no secret. I have a strange fascination with the genre, and I will sit through anything slapped with the horror tag. It is subjective though; anything can be horror – just in many different ways. My Dad once said to me that the nightly news was the … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Hellraiser (1987)
“Hellraiser” (1987) The 80’s was perhaps the best time to be a boogeyman. No matter how paper thin your plot was, people came to see blood and cheese and expected nothing but mindless entertainment from you and your hapless, screaming horny teens. However, an unexpected dark horse arrived on the scene: ‘Hellraiser‘. Nobody quite knows … Continue reading
