“Nosferatu The Vampyre (1979)” While ostensibly a remake, Werner Herzog’s ‘Nosferatu The Vampyre’ is actually an art form masquerading as a horror. True, there is a sense of true dread permeating in every frame, but it’s not so much dread of a superficial movie sense, instead, it’s a dread that strikes close to home for … Continue reading

DVD Review: Sushi Girl [MA15]
Dir: Kern Saxton Starring: Noah Hathaway, Tony Todd, Mark Hamill, James Duval, Andy Mackenzie The Film: The best way I can describe Sushi Girl is to say that it is deliciously fucked up. Some of the films cast members whom I had the pleasure of meeting liked that description, and in discussing the film with … Continue reading
[Review] Fast & Furious 6 (2013)
It is almost hard to believe that we are up to the sixth instalment of the Fast And The Furious franchise. But we are, and Fast And Furious 6 is here and as a big fan of the series this one really delivered. Now I liked the first film, it was fun and the cast … Continue reading
[Review] American Mary (2012)
American Mary has been on my radar for quite some time, not sure what took me so long to see it, on paper it screamed my name. I did my best to ignore the hype around the film, as I prefer just to go in and enjoy the film with a fresh mind. As I … Continue reading
[Review] The Place Beyond The Pines
In 2011 Derek Cianfrance won me over with his polarising film Blue Valentine. Once I saw that film, I wasn’t able to stop thinking about it for some time afterwards. The performances were simply amazing and I felt Cianfrance achieved something so raw with his direction. I named him my personal favourite director of that … Continue reading
[Review] Iron Man 3 by Garrett Collins
Last year, I was beginning to become desensitized to comic book films. Growing up, it was a dream of mine to see the comic books I was reading be faithfully brought to life, using the highest of technologies to bring the beautifully drawn pages to the big screen. Yet last year, the high profile comic … Continue reading
[TV Review] Broadchurch Season 1
Those that know me, know that I love my crime television. Whether it be drama’s or documentary series, I am always there. So when I heard that David Tennant was in a new show and it was a crime drama, I didn’t need to think twice about it and I tuned into the first episode. … Continue reading
DVD Review: Shadow Dancer [M15] by Bede Jermyn
Director: James Marsh Starring: Clive Owen, Andrea Riseborough, Gillian Anderson, Aiden Gillen The Film: I have to admit that I wasn’t sure what to expect with SHADOW DANCER, but the main thing that I did know about it was that was a critically acclaimed spy film that dealt with the IRA (Irish Republican Party). I … Continue reading
[Review] Iron Man 3 (2013)
It feels like Iron Man 3 really snuck up on us, the advertising campaign (at least from my point of view) didn’t feel as grand or as big as the previous Marvel films. But I am kind of glad, because this came as a wonderful surprise, it certainly is the biggest and most ambitious of … Continue reading
DVD Review: Comic Con Episode IV – A Fan’s Hope [MA15] by Garrett Collins
Director: Morgan Spurlock Featuring: Stan Lee, Kevin Smith, Joss Whedon, Fans The Film: I don’t normally like to start reviews off with anecdotes, but I feel in this case it is needed to put the subject of this Morgan Spurlock documentary into perspective: Back in the winter of 1976, executives at 20th Century Fox really … Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Lake Mungo (2008)
“Lake Mungo (2008)” First and foremost, if you consider yourself a ‘true blue’ horror fan, turn away now, because the marketing of this movie was hideously misleading. The international trailer promised thrills and chills, but I assure you, this film native to my country is nothing of the sort. This is a ghost story, but … Continue reading
DVD Review: Punching The Clown [M15]
Punching The Clown is hilarious, I watched this film three times in the span of a week and it held up, I still laughed hard and it lost nothing. It isn’t a common thing where a comedy can hold up so well, especially upon multiple viewings in such a short span of time. Continue reading
[Bea’s Reviews] Satanic Rites Of Dracula (1973)
“Satanic Rites Of Dracula (1973)” You will either find “The Satanic Rites of Dracula” extremely awesome or extremely idiotic simply because of how… inventive it is. Rather of Dracula simply being content to hunt down quivering virgins (yeah, tough luck of that happening in the 70’s), the Count’s ambitions actually soar a lot higher than … Continue reading
DVD Review: Four Assassins [M15] by Bea Harper
Dir: Stanley J. Orzel Starring: Will Yun Lee, Miguel Ferre, Emilie Guillot The Film: I honestly wanted to like this film. Really. In a basic, non-spoilery synopsis, this film could have been a tense and relentless bite of a dramiller (my amalgamation of drama/thriller, like it?) that could have been a sleeper hit. Unfortunately, this … Continue reading
