[Review] The Box (2009)
Richard Kelly was a film maker everyone was so excited about after the release of Donnie Darko several years ago, he took awhile to follow it up with Southland Tales which it seems is very much a hated film (I did not get around to seeing it), and it has several different cuts. I think … Continue reading
[Rewind] The Gate
The Gate The Gate is an 80’s younger audience targeted horror film, which marked the film debut of one Stephen Dorff who is now probably best known as playing vampire Deacon in Blade. As a young girl I remember visiting the video store, and I always went to the horror section and I remember seeing … Continue reading
The Monster Squad
4/5 The first thing that came to mind after I watched this was that they sure don’t make kids/family films like this anymore. Back in the 80’s kids were vulgar, they swore, they were really mean. It seems now when you watch a kids/family film the kids are too nice, they don’t say ‘shit’ or … Continue reading

[Review] Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans (2009)
Bad Lieutenant, where do I even start? I don’t think I would even call this a remake of the 1992 film Bad Lieutenant by Abel Ferrara, they only share the title really. They are nothing a like at all, the characters in question are different, the tone of the films are different and that is … Continue reading

Easily one of the most talked about films this year, James Cameron returns after a 12 year break with the ground breaking Avatar. Did it live up to the hype? It sure did!

[Rewind] The Doom Generation
The Doom Generation This was a really trippy film, there is no other way to describe it. I am going to struggle to give this any kind if explanation actually. The tag line is a heterosexual film by Gregg Araki, maybe meaning there was only hetero sex in it but there was a lot of … Continue reading

[Mini Review Rewinds] American Ninja 1, 2, 3 & 4
It is no secret, I love action films, specifically I love martial arts films. The 80’s and early 90’s gave us some very special ones, they are in a league of their own. I had heard about a series of films called American Ninja, and it has been on the ‘to see list’ for the … Continue reading
