Sharktopus

Sharktopus is a film that cannot be watched alone, so I sat down with my buddy Pat to watch this. Marcey: “What the hell?” Pat: “What the hell?” Yup that’s Sharktopus, through and through. It is a film that will have you saying “What the hell?” or various variations of those three words such as … Continue reading →

Welcome To The Rileys

3.5/5 The first thing I thought to myself as the end credits rolled was “That was not at all what expected!” and that is definitely a good thing. With Welcome To The Rileys, all I knew about it was that it starred James Gandolfini and Kristen Stewart, and that Stewart played a stripper. That alone … Continue reading →

[Rewind] Spit On Your Grave (1978)

I Spit On Your Grave (1978) I Spit On Your Grave is one of the most controversial films to come out of the 70’s, banned in many places (including Australia until recently). What sets this film aside from other violent exploitation films is the raw brutality that is showcases. It actually doesn’t feel like an … Continue reading →

The King’s Speech

4.5/5 The true story of King George VI of Britain, from the days where his father was King to his rise to the throne. Oh did I mention he has a speech impediment which he needs to overcome? The King’s Speech is not your typical film about a King or a royal family, there is … Continue reading →

Tron: Legacy

4/5 Tron and Tron: Legacy are 28 years apart, and it’s not hard to see why they waited so long to deliver a sequel. Tron was one of the first films to use CGI, and watching it today you can really tell. The film was an initial failure, with the actual game making more money … Continue reading →

The Town

4.5/5 Ben Affleck in my books is two for two as a director. Gone Baby Gone was one of the best films to be released in 2007, and in my opinion The Town follows suit being one of the top films for 2010. Both films are crime drama’s, adapted from a source material. The main … Continue reading →

Red

3/5 If you want to sit back and relax for an hour and a half and leave your brain at the door and have a few laughs, well look no further than Red. In a nut shell that is what this film is, and it is quite fun and enjoyable without trying to be more … Continue reading →

Heartless

5/5 Once every so often a film will come along that completely changes the way you think about certain things, and for me that film is Heartless. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going into this film, I just knew the main character had a love heart shaped birth mark on his face and … Continue reading →

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse

1.5/5 It is no secret that I am not a fan of the Twilight franchise, and I do believe I have valid reasons. You can read my review of New Moon, and my write up about why I disliked Twilight. I went into Eclipse thinking that maybe with a new director (David Slade who directed … Continue reading →

Dead Silence

3/5 I was not quite sure what to expect going into Dead Silence, I had heard such mixed reviews. But really how bad could James Wan’s follow up to Saw be? Well I actually didn’t mind this, it turned out to be rather fun! This is probably the complete opposite of Saw, I guess Whannell … Continue reading →

Saw 3-D (VII)

4.5/5 *Disclaimer* If you haven’t seen the other Saw films the following review will spoil those films, there is no possible way to review this without doing so. Saw VII apparently brings the series to a conclusion, and you know what I hope this is the last one. I love the series, this has been … Continue reading →

Saw VI

3.5/5 *Disclaimer* If you haven’t seen the other Saw films the following review will spoil those films, there is no possible way to review this without doing so. After Agent Strahm has been framed as the ‘Jigsaw’ successor, his former boss Erickson (Mark Rolston) and former partner thought dead Perez (Athena Karkanis) start to investigate … Continue reading →
