Heathers The ultimate teen high school black comedy! Who didn’t love this movie growing up? This totally go me through my youth and watching it again was just truly awesome. The script is great, so clever and funny and for back then very daring. I’m not even sure they’d dare do this today honestly! Winona … Continue reading

[Mini Review] A Scanner Darkly (2006)
What a bizarre film! At first the animation put me off, but after a few minutes I got used to it. It was very well done though, the scramble suit looked awesome. I wouldn’t mind hiding out in one of those! The story was an interesting one, one about drugs in the future, paranoia, different … Continue reading
[Rewind] Mini Review: Fargo
Fargo One of the classic films from the 90’s, always great to revisit this one. Everything about it is just perfect, the script, the actors, just everything! A simply storyline where things just keep going wrong. What is great about this, is it just goes by so quickly, one of the awesome qualities of this … Continue reading
[Mini Review Rewind] Bullets Over Broadway (1994)
I quite enjoyed this one, basically its about struggling playwright who has to cast a mobsters girlfriend in his new show, because the mobster put up the money for it. He gets in some other talent, and then the trouble and laughs unfold. Everyone is really good in this, thank goodness there was no Woody … Continue reading
[Rewind] Mini Review: Down By Law
Down By Law What a fantastic film! I just love this, so many fantastic moments! Superb performances by John Lurie as Jack, Tom Waits as Zach and Roberto Benigni as Roberto ‘Bob’. The three men find themselves sharing a jail cell. Then one day they escape and find themselves lost not knowing what do to. … Continue reading
[Mini Review] 27 Dresses (2008)
Yes, it is another typical rom/com, you know exactly where it is going to go and how it is going to end. However it wasn’t all that bad, I think thanks to some really nice performances from Katherine Heigl and James Marsden (Who is really adorable I might add). 27 Dresses tells the story of … Continue reading
[Mini Review] American Gangster (2007)
I must say this is epic! Ridley Scott does that well I must say! This is an excellent film, fantastic direction, script, acting, just everything! Sure this story is not new, but that doesn’t mean anything when it is told well. Denzel is excellent, a role perfectly suited to him. Russell Crowe is pretty good … Continue reading
[Rewind] Mini Review: Donnie Brasco
Donnie Brasco Took me long enough to actually sit down and watch this. Pretty much what I expected, how can you go wrong with the likes of Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Michael Madsen (Yes I like him) and Bruno Kirby to name a few? Well simply you can’t, and what you get is the true … Continue reading
[Mini Review Rewind] Blue Car (2002)
I thought this was a really good movie, but it was so sad, really sad. Agnes Bruckner (The Woods) owns this film, she’s fantastic as Meg. Margaret Colin was pretty good as the mother, she was even a little creepy at times, not an easy role but she pulled it off quite well. David Strathairn … Continue reading
[Review] Alone With Her (2006)
Not really sure what to say about this one, I am not even sure where to start. Sure the story is nothing new, a creepy guy stalks a beautiful woman. But what sets this one aside from the rest is the way in which it was filmed. We see this entirely from the point of … Continue reading
[Rewind] Mini Review: Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas “Oh my God. This is just like that drug trip I saw in that movie while I was on that drug trip.” Actually after just having watched this I feel like I am coming off a drug trip. That is how much of an affect this movie has, seriously! … Continue reading
Mini Review: Dancing At The Blue Iguana
The improv strip club movie, with Daryl Hannah, Jennifer Tilly and Sandra Oh. I first saw this on Foxtel, and I really liked it but at that time I had no idea it was a film that the actors improvised. Watching it again knowing that, I didn’t really think you could tell, it actually rolls … Continue reading
