[Review] (500) Days Of Summer (2009)

This is a film I had been really excited about when I first saw the trailer, as time went on I wasn’t as excited and it kind of flew off the radar. I’ve finally gotten around to seeing it, after all the praise I had heard about it and the negative things, for me it … Continue reading

The Men Who Stare At Goats

4/5 Good title isn’t it? It certainly got my attention, and I am glad it did as I had a blast with this film! It tells the story of a reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), who wants to get ‘the’ story, so he travels to Iraq in the hopes of getting something on the front … Continue reading

Daybreakers

4/5 Another film with vampires (actual vampires, these ones do not sparkle and they have fangs), however what sets Daybreakers apart from the rest is that it is something original and there are things here which have not been done before, and I for one really enjoyed the heck out of that! In the world … Continue reading

[Review] An Education (2009)

An Education is really just that, it is an education, a life learning experience, coming of age for Jenny (Carey Mulligan). The film is set in the 1960’s in England, 16 year old Jenny is attending school and her parents (mostly her father played by Alfred Molina) have high hopes for her. On a rainy … Continue reading

[Review] The Box (2009)

[Review] The Box (2009)

Richard Kelly was a film maker everyone was so excited about after the release of Donnie Darko several years ago, he took awhile to follow it up with Southland Tales which it seems is very much a hated film (I did not get around to seeing it), and it has several different cuts. I think … Continue reading

[Rewind] The Gate

The Gate The Gate is an 80’s younger audience targeted horror film, which marked the film debut of one Stephen Dorff who is now probably best known as playing vampire Deacon in Blade. As a young girl I remember visiting the video store, and I always went to the horror section and I remember seeing … Continue reading

The Monster Squad

4/5 The first thing that came to mind after I watched this was that they sure don’t make kids/family films like this anymore. Back in the 80’s kids were vulgar, they swore, they were really mean. It seems now when you watch a kids/family film the kids are too nice, they don’t say ‘shit’ or … Continue reading

Where The Truth Lies

3.5/5 Indeed, where does the truth lie? A great title for a really great little film. This film is all about lies and the truth, each character having their own truths and lies affecting their life. This is a film by Atom Egoyan, and I had thought I had seen one of his films before, … Continue reading

Troll 2

There is no way I can seriously review this film or give it a real rating. I mean if I look at it as a film, it gets 0/5 everything about it is a huge fail. The acting, the script, the direction, everything. But if I look at it as something that is just so … Continue reading

Dahmer

3.5/5 It isn’t a secret that I have an interest in true crime, and serial killers. Now that interest lies in that I am fascinated with the terrible acts people do, how terrifying these things are, it just boggles the mind how people can do the things they do. And what happens in real life … Continue reading
