DVD Review: The Imposter [M15]

DVD Review: The Imposter [M15]

Dir: Bart Layton Featuring: Frédéric Bourdin The Film: The truth is certainly stranger than fiction, and one of the most unusual stories that has come out as a doco/drama in recent years is THE IMPOSTER. I was unfamiliar with this story when I stepped into watch the film for the first time (I have since … Continue reading

[Review] Elysium (2013) by Bea Harper

[Review] Elysium (2013) by Bea Harper

Dir. Neill Blomkamp To a degree, I feel somewhat out of my comfort zone by writing a review for a science fiction film. Not because I didn’t ‘get it’ (I do) or I didn’t enjoy it (I did) but SF has a broad, broad range of subject matter to choose from and as with everything … Continue reading

[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

DVD Review: Here [M] by Bea Harper

DVD Review: Here [M] by Bea Harper

Director: Braden King Starring: Ben Foster, Lubna Azabal The Film: I will give my honest opinion right now- despite it’s good intentions, this movie bored me. I didn’t find it particularly poignant or memorable and in the end, I found myself wondering what went astray in me that I didn’t enjoy this movie as much … 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
