Leave It On The Floor was inspired by the documentary Paris Is Burning; it is a musical with a lot of flavour and attitude! Needless to say I had a great time with this film, the soundtrack is fantastic and the musical numbers are extremely well done and assembled. The story isn’t too unique, but … Continue reading

[Film Review] The Hunger Games
Unless you’ve been living under a rock lately, I am sure you’ve heard about The Hunger Games. The books are being read by just about everyone and the inevitable film adaptation has been made. But is it any good? In one word … YES! Now I haven’t read the book by Suzanne Collins, the first … Continue reading
DVD Review: Attenberg [MA15]
Dir: Athina Rachel Tsangari Starring: Ariane Labed, Vangelis Mourikis, Evangelia Randou, Giorgos Lanthimus The Film: Even though the films are quite different, I can’t help but refer to Dogtooth with this review. The producer of that film wrote and directed this one with Giorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth director) producing and acting in this one. The films … Continue reading

[MQFF ’12] Absent (Ausente) (2011)
Absent (Ausente) is a film that kind of lives up to its title on the surface but when one digs deeper, it is anything but. I have to say I found this Argentinean effort to be quite interesting and it took me off guard. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from it, and the … Continue reading

[MQFF ’12] Ballroom Rules (2012)
Ballroom Rules is an Australian documentary about same-sex ballroom dancing, and it follows several couples as they prepare and then compete at the Gay Games in Germany (2010). It is really great to see homegrown documentaries and this was such a great surprise. Ballroom dancing probably showed up on a lot of radar’s here after … Continue reading

[MQFF ’12] Becoming Chaz (2011)
Judging by the title of this documentary, subject matter is pretty obvious, it follows the journey of Chaz Bono (formally Chasity, the offspring of Sonny and Cher) as he makes the transition into the self he always knew he was meant to be. It is a very interesting documentary, and it certainly does not hold … Continue reading
DVD Review: The Bomber [M15]
Dir: Vitaliy Vorobiov Starring: Nikita Yefremov, Yekaterina Astakhova, Aleksandr Daydov The Film: Films about WWII are a plenty, that entire film sub-genre has many interesting films and those that aren’t so good. My interest on these films is pretty high, I find the subject fascinating and I do like to see the subject tackled from … Continue reading
DVD Review: Escapee [M15]
Dir: Campion Murphy Starring: Dominic Purcell, Faith Ford, Christine Evangelista, Scott Elrod The Film: Escapee is a film with some interesting ideas, but it is very predictable and full of typical clichés. I really wanted to like this film, but it really fell into ‘typical slasher’ territory and it did not offer anything new or … Continue reading
DVD Review: DeadHeads [MA15]
Dir: The Pierce Brothers Starring: Michael McKiddy, Ross Kidder, Markus Taylor The Film: I love a good horror/comedy, the blend of genres is never an easy task and sometimes one needs to sit through some bad before a good one comes along. I am very happy to report that DeadHeads is one of the good … Continue reading
DVD Review: Offspring Season 2 [M15]
Starring: Asher Keddie, Kat Stewart, Eddie Perfect, Debra Mailman, Don Hany and John Waters The Show: Offspring is without a doubt one of the best and most successful recent Australian shows. And it deserves to be, it is a great and appealing show on every level and it isn’t just for a select group. The … Continue reading
DVD Review: Don’t Let Him In [MA15]
Dir: Kelly Smith Starring: Sophie Linfield, Sam Hazeldine, Gordon Alexander The Film: From the get go we know we’re in for something gruesome, as the opening credit sequence tells us with Don’t Let Him In. It then tells us what led up to the event as we rewind a few days. We meet four characters, … Continue reading
[Review] My Soul To Take (2010) by Garrett Collins
What in the world happened to Wes Craven? Growing up, I couldn’t help but be a big fan of the man’s work. Hell, even Deadly Friend and Shocker were hits in my room! But, looking back, since when did he ever make a film that evoked fear & feelings of tension and didn’t have Nightmare … Continue reading
DVD Review: Esoterica [MA15]
Dir: Sam Barrett Starring: James Helm, Karen Barrett, Ben Brown, Arielle Gray The Film: Esoterica is a film that I think will strike some people as being rather odd within the first 10 minutes. It kind of is if you aren’t too sure what it is about, but if you are a film noir fan … Continue reading
