[Review] The Wolverine (2013) by Bea Harper

[Review] The Wolverine (2013) by Bea Harper

First, just let me get this off my chest. UNLEASH THE BEAST!!!!!!! I think I was in the freakish minority who didn’t hate “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” as much as the general public did. It was heavily flawed and a hodgepodge of good ideas that were unrealised or under-developed, but was it terrible in the sense … Continue reading

[Review] Lovelace (2013)

[Review] Lovelace (2013)

Seems odd that the advertising material for this film seems to shine on the fact that Linda Lovelace is known for starring in a porn film, and her story is anything but shining on the porn industry. However that element (her anti-porn crusade) is left out of this film and it instead decides to show … Continue reading

[Review] Pain & Gain (2013)

[Review] Pain & Gain (2013)

I now have a strong candidate for Worst Film Of 2013, PAIN & GAIN is one of the most awful films I have seen recently. It was a task to sit through and that feels like a compliment. Michael Bay is a very hit and miss director, I do believe his best days are very … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Sinister (2012)

[Bea’s Reviews] Sinister (2012)

“Sinister (2012)” Looking at this poster for Scott Derrickson’s latest fright flick “Sinister”, you can’t help but say “generic” because that’s exactly how it looks- creepy child with long hair smearing blood across a wall that just happens to form a demonic face. We’ve seen this been done hundreds upon thousands of millions of times … Continue reading

[Review] Now You See Me (2013)

[Review] Now You See Me (2013)

The tag line for the film “Look closely, because the closer you think you are, the less you will actually see “ is very true of the film. It wants the audience to think they are seeing one thing, and it wants them to think they are smart about it, but there is actually something … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Fright Night (2011)

[Bea’s Reviews] Fright Night (2011)

“Fright Night (2011)” Dir. Craig Gillespie Newsflash, folks. Creativity, GENUINE creativity in the horror genre in Hollywood is rare to come by these days, if not completely extinct. Almost everywhere you look, you see a ‘remake’, ‘re-imagining’, ‘reboot’, ‘re whateveryouwannacallitjustgimmeyourmoney’. Some are better than others of course, but on the whole, there really is nothing … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] Clarissa (1991)

[Bea’s Reviews] Clarissa (1991)

“Clarissa (1991)” Dir. Richard Bierman I am a very vanilla person once you get to know me. I’m soft as a powder puff and twice as gentle (thanks for the line Miss Kitty). If I have money to spare, I give it to charities, if I see person overloaded with bags I’ll help them to … Continue reading

[Review] The Way Way Back (2013)

[Review] The Way Way Back (2013)

From the opening scene THE WAY WAY BACK was really grabbing, it just throws the audience into a very awkward situation and immediately there was a connection to young Duncan (Liam James). His mothers boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell) is giving him a talk while they are in the car, basically insulting Trent, although he tries … Continue reading

[MIFF ’13] Downloaded (2013)

[MIFF ’13] Downloaded (2013)

DOWNLOADED tells the story of Shawn Fanning and Sean Parker, the guys behind the internet phenomenon known as Napster. This is a story told from their point of view, this is their story and it’s an interesting one to be told. Most of us who have been internet users for many years will be very … Continue reading

[Review] Before Midnight (2013)

[Review] Before Midnight (2013)

BEFORE MIDNIGHT was a rather inevitable film, especially after BEFORE SUNSET, not a bad thing at all as we now have the BEFORE trilogy. The story of Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) continues, 18 years after it first started, when they met on a train and experienced a life changing night. After their … Continue reading

[Review] Phantom (2013) by Daniel McIntosh

[Review] Phantom (2013) by Daniel McIntosh

I’m back with another review of another submarine movie. I love my submarine movies. Why? Well for the simple reason that because they are usually set inside a submarine means that the movie has to be sold on its story and the performance of the actors. Special effects are only a tiny part of the … Continue reading
