Dir: Mike Bruce Starring: Cameron Van Hoy, Michael Drayer, Timothy V. Murphy The Film: Treasure Of The Black Jaguar is quite the journey; it’s a rather different film and a modern type of grindhouse one. For me this was a rather cool film, one that just does not come up very often. The driving force … Continue reading
Miracle Mile is a product of the Cold War era, and the paranoia it pounded into people. The film has a simple premise, with a young man answering the phone at a phone booth in the early hours of the morning, and hearing a warning about missiles hitting the city in around an hour’s time.

Two Days is a romantic/comedy/drama, and an unexpected one. Heading into this film, I felt a little unsure of what sort of film it was going to be. The first act reveals a few hints, but it is during its middle act where it’s true colours are really shown, and I was delighted by what … Continue reading
![Blu-ray Review: Merantau [MA15]](https://supermarcey.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/merantau-feature.jpg?w=160&h=120&crop=1 "Blu-ray Review: Merantau [MA15]")
Merantau was the first film in many years produced in Indonesia and it brought forth their martial arts Pencat Silat. That is a key component in this film, and I think after seeing this film many people will certainly want to know more (seek out Gareth Evan’s documentary Pencat Silat: The Martial Arts of Indonesia for more). The story here is about the ancient rite of passage known as ‘merantau’, which is from native Sumatra. Continue reading

Dir: Aharon Keshales, Navot Papushado Starring: Lior Ashkenazi, Danny Geva, Ania Bukstein The Film: Rabies (Kalevet) was a film I had heard about some time ago, it was being billed as the first Israeli slasher film. This certainly got my attention, and I wondered whether I would get to see it and how it would … Continue reading

Dir: Henry Olek Starring: Ross McCall, Susan Priver, Jude Ciccolella The Film: The Guest Room (aka Serving Up Richard) is an odd gem of a film, and it is surprisingly engaging despite being labelled as a cannibal film. Now I have nothing against cannibal sub-genre films, this element worked well for Hannibal Lector for example, … Continue reading

Dir: Mitch Glazer Starring: Mickey Rourke, Megan Fox, Bill Murray, Rhys Ifans, Kelly Lynch The Film: Passion Play has a bit of a reputation behind it, it was panned by critics when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival back in 2010 and it hasn’t quite recovered since. It has that reputation of being … Continue reading

My first thought after I was walking out of the screening was ‘scalping has never looked so artistic’. This ‘remake’ of Maniac certainly draws some of its inspiration from European arthouse horror, it really has that giallo vibe. It also draws inspiration from 70’s and 80’s exploitation, yet it aims to be more than just exploitation. Continue reading

Dir: Ti West Starring: Sara Paxton, Pat Healy, Kelly McGillis The Film: I just want to get this out of the way now – I love Ti West! He really is a fantastic recent addition to the horror genre, he keeps things interesting and inventive. The Innkeepers which is his latest is no different, this … Continue reading

So I was fortunate enough to win a ticket to the premiere of The Bourne Legacy. Like most who watched the Matt Damon Bourne movies, we were all hoping that he would return for another outing as Jason Bourne. At the time, Universal were not overly happy with the speed at which Director Paul Greengrass … Continue reading

Cosmopolis is a film that has been dividing audiences since its debut at Cannes, and it will continue to do so. I am a huge fan of director David Cronenberg, he rarely disappoints and last year he gave me a big disappointment with A Dangerous Method. Continue reading

Without a doubt Bernie is one of the strangest films I have seen for the past few years. It really is an odd film, fact mixed with fiction, and strangely alluring. Continue reading

I admit from the moment I first saw the trailer for The Campaign, I got excited! The trailer showed just enough to give us an idea of what we were in for and the talents involved, I was sold! Continue reading
Dir: Dennis Gansel Starring: Karoline Herfurth, Nina Hoss, Jennifer Ulrich The Film: Right off the bat I have to say We Are The Night was an incredibly entertaining film, and certainly one of the better vampire films I’ve seen out of the recent crop. It had elements of The Lost Boys and Near Dark, as … Continue reading
