Paranormal Activity

1/5 Paranormal Activity ended up being one of the most talked about smaller films towards the end of last year. It was the little film that could, made for basically nothing it grossed millions at the box office and got a wide release. The film was being called one of the scariest films ever made, … Continue reading

The Poughkeepsie Tapes

3/5 This film goes for that whole documentary style approach, with interviews from various people explaining the situation. Tapes were found in a house in Poughkeepsie which show a serial killer at work, documenting all of the moves he has made over the years. They show bits and pieces of the tape to fit in … Continue reading

[REC]

4/5 Thank you Spanish horror, you have given us a really awesome entry into the genre. I had head a lot about this film, and I actually didn’t even see the trailer. Then the American shot for shot remake came out and I didn’t bother to see a trailer for that either. So what took … Continue reading

Up In The Air

4.5/5 The tag line kind of says it all I guess, the story of a man ready to make a connection, or is he? Our main character Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) is grounded a very limited number of a days in the year, he’s always on the move, travelling from city to city having been … Continue reading

The Hurt Locker

4.5/5 Kathryn Bigelow has given me two of my all time favourite films with Near Dark and Point Break, and I will watch anything she directs. When I heard about this film, it seemed like something rather different from her and I wasn’t sure if it was really going to be my cup of tea. … Continue reading

Carriers

3.5/5 Carriers is one of those disease out break films, it does not actually give you much detail about the disease, but you just know there is no cure and it has spread rather quickly. We basically start the film in a car with four young people, two brothers Danny and Brian played by Lou … Continue reading

Universal Soldier: Regeneration

4/5 So there are these terrorists who are looking to cause a nuclear holocaust unless the President releases prisoners, if not his children will die and the Chernobyl nuclear reaction goes bomb! These terrorists are ready for what they might throw at them as they have a bad ass UniSol on their side in the … Continue reading

[Rewind] Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS

Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS Now I like me some exploitation films, and one I have heard about for many, many years is Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS. This is a cult classic exploitation film, and after many years I managed to track down the unrated version to finally watch and see if … Continue reading

Jennifer’s Body

3/5 So the trailers for this looked pretty good, it looked like a decent horror high school film. Did it live up to my expectations? Yes and no I guess, I mean I didn’t mind the film at all. It had a cool premise, the overly hot Megan Fox and an overly hot Megan Fox. … Continue reading

Fantastic Mr. Fox

4.5/5 I have to say that this film really is fantastic! I honestly cannot remember if I read the story by Roald Dahl, as I used to read his stuff quite a lot in my younger years. So I can’t really say how faithful it was to the source material. But what I got here … Continue reading

Homecoming

3/5 A direct to DVD film here, I had no interest in actually watching this however someone hired it and I thought eh lets see what post OC Mischa Barton can do. The film actually turned out to be alright but for all the wrong reasons. It was full of plot holes and oh so … Continue reading

The Lovely Bones

3.5/5 Peter Jackson is an interesting film maker, he has made films of different genres and for the most part I’ve enjoyed them a lot. He has a unique and beautiful visual style, which is present in all his films (Yes even the early ones), and watching the trailers to this it seemed this was … Continue reading

Law Abiding Citizen

4/5 I have to say this first off, this film is extremely far-fetched and some what silly. But you know what, even with that, I had a blast with it! I enjoyed myself with this film and I was smiling ear to ear to see Gerard Butler in a role like this and away from … Continue reading
