The horror genre is just riddled with remakes and reboots, and while we do get some fairly good films out of it, the majority just do not work. They really seem to be quick cash grabs with no imagination or respect for the source material. The original POLTERGEIST is a much loved film of the … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Star Wars: The Force Awakens [2015]
As you can perhaps surmise, this video offers more of an opinion than an actual in-depth film review. The Force Awakens is a return to form for a franchise that had until recently suffered a rocky road (though Star Wars Rebels is a wonderful show and addition to the universe). Now, does that make it … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Crimson Peak [2015] by Bea Harper w/ Special Guest Ollie The Chozo
Dir.: Guillermo del Toro Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddelston, Doug Jones and Charlie Hunnam Wow. I didn’t think it would take me this long to review a movie I was chomping at the bit like a horse from the Abyss to see, but here we go. Crimson Peak isn’t del Toro’s finest hour as … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Macbeth [2015]
Dir.: Justin Kurzel Starring: Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, David Thewlis, Sean Harris, Elizabeth Debicki and Paddy Considine So fair and foul a film I have ever seen. Macbeth to this day remains my number one favourite play by The Bard- ruthless ambition, misguided faith, the price of entitlement, forced destiny, political intrigue and deep-rooted corruption, … Continue reading

Dir.: Alan Taylor Starring: Emilia Clarke, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jai Courtney, Jason Clarke and J.K. Simmons IT IS NOT THAT BAD, GUYS! Whether or not you are willing to go with what you see is another matter, but truth be told, this is not the travesty so many people have proclaimed it to be. Although it is … Continue reading
[Bea’s Apathetic Reviews] Poltergeist [2015] by Bea Harper
Apathy is perhaps the worst response a human can possibly have toward a movie. It’s better to despise something because that somehow means you care. I didn’t care at all about this bland, wasteful, far too obviously creatively impotent film. Why did I see it you ask? Because I was bored, and I still … Continue reading
