[Review] The Horde (2016)
Two genres that basically shaped me as a person are action and horror, from my earliest days in watching films to now. They have always been a staple for me, and they seem to be the kinds of films people most associate with me. So when an action/horror film falls into my lap, my interest … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Big Trouble In Little China [1986]
“When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol’ Jack Burton always says at a time like that: ‘Have ya paid your dues, Jack?’ ‘Yessir, the check is in the mail.’ Continue reading

[A.J and Bea’s Review Exchange] Die Hard With A Vengeance [1995] by Bea Harper
Dir.: John McTiernan Starring: Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Irons *Correction: The Rodney King incident took place in 1991 and the L.A Riots took place in 1992. Ahhhh, this movie. THIS. MOVIE. Die Hard With A Vengeance is my chicken soup, my rainbow, my hot chocolate on a cold, bone-chattering night. John McClane … Continue reading
[A.J and Bea’s Review Exchange] Friday The 13th VI: Jason Lives [1986] by Bea Harper
Dir.: Tom McLoughlin Starring: Jason Voorhees Well, strictly speaking from my personal perspective and not as a huge Jason fan, this game-changer from 1986 did not just firmly state Jase was more than human, he was practically immortal. With a healthy snog on the mouth of classic Universal horror combined with self-referential cheese and surprisingly … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Book Reviews] Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag [Oliver Bowden] by Bea Harper
Published: 2013 Publisher: Penguin Although Forsaken still holds it’s position of being the zenith of Bowden’s compelling Assassin’s Creed adaptations, Black Flag is still enormously fun. Edward Kenway is an interesting creature, and while at his core he is a good man, it takes nothing short of several self-inflicted tragedies for him to realise. In … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] The Good, The Bad And The Ugly [1966]
Dir.: Sergio Leone Starring: Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach Sprawling views of a dead yet living landscape, extreme close up of desperate, savage eyes, pregnant pauses before moments of terrible violence and an unflinching majesty in a symphony of death, I just could not be as verbose as others who have also … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Book Reviews] Assassin’s Creed: Forsaken [Oliver Bowden] by Bea Harper
Published: 2012 Publisher: Penguin Praise be to Grandmaster Haytham Edward Kenway, great be his name, considerable his wisdom and damn sexy be his face. May the Father of Understanding guide us. Undoubtedly the best of Bowdens’ adaptations of the Assassin’s Creed series not just in terms of character but also plot, despite being an agent … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Book Reviews] Assassins’ Creed: Revelations [Oliver Bowden] by Bea Harper
Published: 2011 Publisher: Penguin The swan song of Ezio Auditore is all heart, but with very little purpose otherwise. While undoubtedly a personal and touching curtain call for the Man From Fierenze, the story itself, for all of its talk of conspiracy and political subterfuge feels almost redundant. Contrary to what the back cover would … Continue reading
[Bea’s Ranting Reviews] Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood [Oliver Bowden] by Bea Harper
Published: 2010 Publisher: Penguin Down with the Borgia! The Man From Firenze returns, wiser, deadlier and stronger than before and with him comes not only a new, fierce enemy but now the responsibility of continuing the Creed. The Borgia have flung the once grand city of Rome into poverty, so it is up to Ezio … Continue reading
