[Review] Runner Runner (2013)

[Review] Runner Runner (2013)

Runner Runner, a title that may seem odd on the surface but it does have a meaning, is a fairly decent crime thriller that is a great way to spend the afternoon. The film isn’t entirely original nor will it leave people completely shocked over the twists, it does however play its cards mostly right … Continue reading

[31 Days Of Horror] Poltergeist (1982)

Without question one of the scariest and most affective horror films to come out of the 80′s was Poltergeist. I have fond memories of discovering this along with my cousin for one of our weekly sleep overs, where we’d hire at least one horror film. That very first experience was a great time, the film … Continue reading

[Bea’s Book Reviews] The Woman In Black (1983)

The Woman In Black Author: Suzanne Hill Year: [1983] Let’s face it, in a global saturation of vampires, were-creatures, demons, slashers, very rarely is intelligent horror given a look-in and rarely still is it so simple yet irrepressibly effective. Susan Hill’s gothique novella “The Woman in Black” is an exercise of a sparse genre (the ghost … Continue reading

DVD Review: The Central Park Five [M15]

Dir: Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, David McMahon Featuring: Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Yusef Salaam and Kharey Wise The Film: The Central Park Five is as disturbing and as sad of a documentary you are likely to find, because it shows that being in the wrong place, at the wrong time with the wrong … Continue reading

[Bea’s Reviews] RoboCop (1987)

“Robocop (1987)” So, how about that “Robocop” remake trailer? Before I continue with my blathering, I just want to share my own two cents regarding the latest offering in the remake craze. It is so easy to bag this movie based solely on the trailer alone, I know because the first time I watched it, … Continue reading

[Review] Kick-Ass 2 (2013) by Bea Harper

[Review] Kick-Ass 2 (2013) by Bea Harper

I honestly do believe that “Kick Ass 2” was made specifically to get a reaction out of it’s audience and for all intents and purposes, it worked. The inevitable sequel to the jack in the box hit of 2010, this movie is one of the epitomes of the term ‘attention whore’ because it wears it’s … Continue reading

[Review] jOBS (2013) by Daniel McIntosh

Well we all knew that it was inevitable that a movie about the late Steve Jobs was going to be made given that Aaron Sorkin’s Oscar-winning movie THE SOCIAL NETWORK showed that movies about tech giants who revolutionised our way of life could be box office and critical successes. More so the impetus for a … Continue reading

[Review] The Frozen Ground (2013)

Films about real serial killers are always intriguing because it is based on events that actually happened. Some films do take more liberties than others, while some end up being flat out insulting. Preference for me is definitely the more serious ones, ones that actually tell a good story and don’t spit in the face … Continue reading
