Every so often a film comes along and is absolutely surprising and not at all what was expected. Nobody Else But You or Poupoupidou as I prefer is that film for me, I had my expectations on what it was about and how it may unfold but it was not at all what I thought … Continue reading

[AFFFF ’12] Les Contes de La Nuit (Tales Of The Night)
Tales Of The Night is a wonderfully unique visual experience; its animation is stunning and quite stylised. I was impressed simply by the look of this film, it is wonderfully crafted from the get go. The story here is a simple one, it features three friends in a Parisian theatre who come up with stories … Continue reading
[AFFFF ’12] J’aime Regarder Les Filles (18 Years Old And Rising)
18 Years Old And Rising is another example of why I absolutely love French cinema; more specifically in the way it portrays young people. This is a coming of age story about a young man, and what it does right is give us a real character. He isn’t a character who is wise beyond his … Continue reading
[Review] The Lorax (2012) by Logan Fowler
When it comes to literary adaptations for film, the books we hold near and dear to us will come under heavy scrutiny if their transfers to film don’t work as best as we will hope. This is a philosophy that I recently faced when The Lorax recently debuted at local multiplexes. The book it is … Continue reading
[AFFFF ’12] Le Chat Du Rabbin (The Rabbi’s Cat)
The Rabbi’s Cat is what I would call a pleasant surprise; I went into this film blind. I had no idea other than it was an animation, of what it was about or the back story. You see this film was originally a 5-part comic series, which was highly popular in France from writer and … Continue reading
[Review] My Soul To Take (2010) by Garrett Collins
What in the world happened to Wes Craven? Growing up, I couldn’t help but be a big fan of the man’s work. Hell, even Deadly Friend and Shocker were hits in my room! But, looking back, since when did he ever make a film that evoked fear & feelings of tension and didn’t have Nightmare … Continue reading
Contagion (2011) – Review by Garrett Collins
This film may have been my cure. The cure for what, you ask? I have been pretty vocal in other reviews about my discontent for the work of Steven Soderbergh. With his constant flashbacks, frantic camera angles, and disjointed way of telling a story, he has a style of filming that I have never been … Continue reading
The Woman In Black (2012) – Review by Garrett Collins
Truth be told, I have never been a big fan of haunted house stories. Sure, the occasional one will come along and knock me off my feet, but for the most part, people walking around houses seeing one thing, hearing another, doesn’t really get to me. Not to mention, these being Hollywood films, there is … Continue reading
[Review] Shame
I won’t lie, the appeal of Shame for me was really the fact that this was about sex addiction and the sex addict was Michael Fassbender. As a hot-blooded woman, yes I do find Michael Fassbender extremely attractive, but I am a huge fan of him as an actor. He has been so impressive over … Continue reading
[Review] Chronicle
Chronicle turned out to be an unexpected gem, I would put this down to the marketing for the film. It was very unique, it didn’t reveal itself for what it truly was, but it certainly placed an idea of what it may be in my mind, and as it turned out it was quite a … Continue reading

[Review] 10 Metres
I love going into a film, not knowing anything about it prior and just enjoying the ride in front of me. 10 Metres is a mysterious name, and that alone was something that captured my attention. I went into the film blind, and I felt better for it because this was one insane wild ride, … Continue reading
THE RAID REVIEW
So yesterday I had the pleasure of being invited to a special screening of THE RAID. The film will hit Australian screens March 22nd, from the awesome folks at MadMan Films. Now I was pretty excited for this film, it looked to be right up my alley, a mixture of action/martial arts/horror/thriller you know all … Continue reading
Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark (2011) – Review by Garrett Collins
The original Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, which was broadcast on ABC television in 1973, is generally looked upon as a very sub-par film. However, it was scary enough to have made an impression on a youngster named Guillermo Del Torro. So much of an impression, in fact, that he used it as inspiration … Continue reading
Shark Night 3D (2011) – Review by Garrett Collins
Shark Night is one of those movies that is tough to review. Because, 30 plus years after Jaws warned all of us to “not go in the water,” the fear factor of shark movies really had nowhere to go. 3 Jaws sequels, Renny Harlin’s Deep Blue Sea, and a bunch of ridiculous Sci-Fi Channel movies … Continue reading
