Blu-ray review: Poltergeist [M15+]
Dir: Tobe Hooper Starring: Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Heather O’Rourke, Oliver Robins, Dominique Dunne, Beatrice Straight and Zelda Rubinstein The Film 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 … Continue reading

DVD review: Womb [M15+]
Dir: Benedek Fliegauf Starring: Eva Green, Matt Smith and Lesley Manville The Film Womb is what you might call a slow burner, it has a very slow pace, and it basically remains that way through the entire film. So what exactly would a slow burn film called Womb be about? It tells the story of … Continue reading
Requiem
Requiem is an interesting drama piece based upon the true story of German girl Anneliese Michel, who was believed to have been possessed, she passed away after she had under gone a number of exorcisms and as a result suffered malnutrition and dehydration.

DVD review: Cougars Inc. [MA15+]
Dir: K. Asher Levin Starring: Kyle Gallner, Kathryn Morris, Sarah Hyland, James Belushi, Ryan Pinkston, Rebecca Mader and Denise Richards. The Film I wont lie, the cover art for this film does not look promising. The over Photoshopped ‘cougars’ and the placement just looks very cheap, and it makes it look like some sort of … Continue reading

I had the privilege of attending the first screening of Cinema Nova’s Cult Cravings program (that will run until September), the film that I got to experience was Blue Velvet.

DVD review: Tony – London Serial Killer [R18+]
Dir: Gerard Johnson Starring: Peter Ferdinando The Film Looking at the DVD cover art, I honestly was unsure of what to expect from this film. Tony is there covered in blood, and it simply states ‘London Serial Killer’. Without any further research I popped the DVD in and experienced something quite unexpected. Tony is a … Continue reading
Trust
3.5/5 I have to admit, I am a sucker for drama’s like this. Perhaps that is why I am an avid watcher of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I find it equally as disturbing as I do fascinating when dealing with these sorts of issues. Trust is about a 14 year old girl named … Continue reading
Kung Fu Panda 2 (Review by Logan J Fowler)
My experience with the first Kung Fu Panda has a sentimental story behind it. When one of my students was departing for good from the daycare I was working in, his goodbye gift was a brand new DVD copy of his favorite movie, Kung Fu Panda. I watched instantly when I got home, and I … Continue reading
X-Men: First Class (Review by Gareth Mitchell)
A rare thing in modern Hollywood cinema – the prequel that adds to a franchise instead of using gimmicky fanbaiting to make a quick buck. X-Men: First Class steps away from the established story and characters from the four existing films to reset the clock back 40 years to tell the story of Professor X … Continue reading
Insidious
4/5 Before I start with this review, I am going to just let you the readers know that I believe this is a film best seen with as little knowledge about it as possible. With that in mind I am going to keep this vague on the plot and hopefully I won’t spoil too much. … Continue reading
