What is there to say? This is more of a discussion than a straight up film review, so I won’t necessarily apply a rating because as a film, it’s execution is uneven. I’m more or less talking about the themes and how they speak to us as the audience. Pardon the birds and the tablet … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Dracula Untold [2014]
Luke Evans is handsome. Not bad for a Welshie. Upon seeing the first major theatrical trailer (which I analyzed not too long back) I remarked that I would not expect brilliance from the film because something inside of me was certain it would not be an exercise in brilliance. Of course we talk at length … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Showgirls [1995]
Well, Marcey asked for it, so she’s gonna GET it. 😀 This video review is dedicated to the Mistress by the care of the Contessa. Enjoy, darling. ❤ Nomi is a DANCER, damn it!!!!
[Bea’s Reviews] Embrace of the Vampire [1995]
Martin Kemp plays a door licking vampire with a perchant for ankhs. Oh and there’s Alyssa Milano with her lovely zonkies and trying to play the bad girl (and failing endearingly miserably) You aren’t gonna get anything out of this movie other than an hard-on, trust me.
[Bea’s Reviews] Hellbent [2004]
Happy Halloween everybody!!!!! It’s time to get daring with this 2004 first- a gay slasher film that just happens to be one of the better hack and slash flicks you will see out there. It’s somewhat obscure, but if you dig deep enough, you may be able to uncover this gem. Although not by … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For [2014]
You get to see my fugly mug again. Lucky you! ❤ Apologies if my ear-fiddling gets annoying, I’m currently battling an ear infection and while the medication is great, the blocked sensation isn’t. I wanted to wait a while before I posted this review because I was NOT kind on it when I … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] The Lord of the Flies by William Golding [1954]
A short and somewhat (at least I HOPE) bittersweet book review of the classic novel about the demons that lurk within us all. BT DUBS: The final paragraph reads the following; “Ralph looked at him dumbly. For a moment he had a fleeting picture of the strange glamour that had once … Continue reading
[90s Action Movie Month] The Long Kiss Goodnight [1995]
Hey, hey! It’s a video-review!!!!! BT DUBS: My mistake, the film was released in 1996, not 1995. My apologies..
[Bea’s Reviews] Picnic At Hanging Rock by Bea Harper [1975]
Starring: Anne-Louise Lambert, Helen Morse, Rachel Roberts and Jacki Weaver Dir.: Peter Weir Based on the story by the same name by authoress Joan Lindsay, Peter Weir’s adaptation of ‘Picnic At Hanging Rock’ is a vague yet eerily disquieting gem of Australian New Wave cinema. This film isn’t about shock value or excess it’s exceedingly … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] The Stendhal Syndrome by Bea Harper [1996]
Starring: Asia Argento, Thomas Kretschmann, Marco Leonardi, Luigi Diberti and Paolo Bonacelli Dir.: Dario Argento Dario Argento’s recent work has not been up to scratch, however basely entertaining ‘Mother of Tears’ was, the man was in his absolute prime during the 70’s and 80’s with films such as ‘Opera’, ‘Suspiria’, ‘Tenebre’ and ‘Profondo Rosso’ but … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] The Crucible by Arthur Miller
“The Crucible” Author: Arthur Miller Published: 1953 I wanted to take a different approach on my reviews of literary offerings so I’m going with Arthur Miller’s vehement statement against McCarthyism in the dramatised for of the Salem Witch Trials, another period of human bullshit being accepted. Strange and disturbing affairs are afoot in Salem, … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
NOTE: This is a request from the ever-learning screen writer Ryan Gallant who, like me, is all about the down and dirty when it comes to badass heroes. “The Count of Monte Cristo” Author: Alexandre Dumas Published: 1844 I’m going to say this right off the bat-Edmond Dantès , aka the Count of … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
“Lolita” Author: Vladimir Nabokov Published: 1955 Yeah, this review is gonna be slightly tricky due to how controversial this classic is in terms of content. Please note that in no way do I condone the character of Humbert Humbert nor do I feel Nabokov was trying to glorify pedophilia. Humbert Humbert is a monster, … Continue reading
[Bea’s Book Reviews] The Witching Hour by Bea Harper
“The Witching Hour” Author: Anne Rice Published: 1990 Back in the Old Days (those unmentionable awkward teenage years), I was one of the many lonely, plump around the middle, latently horny girls who got a serious kick out of the film adaptation of Anne Rice’s best seller “Interview With The Vampire”. After watching it for … Continue reading
