[Rewind] Exotica

Exotica I had been wanting to see this for the longest time, and I finally managed to find a copy. My second voyage with an Atom Egoyan film, and I must say I like what I see, and I will certainly be seeking more of his films out. Exotica is not an easy film to … Continue reading →

Legion

1.5/5 I will say it out right, I really did not like this film at all. The trailer looked awesome, I thought this would be a fun film, but it was far from it. Plot? There isn’t really one, God has lost faith in mankind (can’t say I blame him) and he unleashes the minions … Continue reading →

The Fourth Kind

3/5 In a small town in Alaska, strange events have been happening. Going between ‘real footage’ and re-enactments, the mystery explored, to try and explain what happened and how it affected those involved. That is The Fourth Kind in a nut shell. The advertisements for this film, say this is all true, based on a … Continue reading →

Invictus

3.5/5 Invictus is the true story of Nelson Mandela in his first term as President of South Africa, he decides one way to try and reunite the post-apartheid country by getting behind their Rugby team as South Africa hosts the 1995 World Cup. That is this film in a nut shell, and I actually do remember … Continue reading →

Shutter Island

4/5 Shutter Island is the name of well an island that harbors patients/criminals who have been declared mentally unstable (insane). Two US Marshall’s have been called in (Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo) to investigate the disappearance of a patient. Not everything is what it seems, and there is something awfully strange going on. I can’t … Continue reading →

Halloween II (2009)

2/5 I am a fan of Rob Zombie’s Halloween, and I was looking forward to seeing the sequel, that was until it was released and it got terrible reviews and hardly anyone seemed to like it at all. I had to wonder where could it have gone wrong? The trailers looks extremely promising, and Rob … Continue reading →

Battlestar Galactica

5/5 Over the past few months I finally got my bum in gear and got a hold of the re-imaged Battlestar Galactica series which premiered as a mini-series back in 2003. It is loosely based on the series from the 70’s which I hardly remember now. Until recently all I had seen was little bits … Continue reading →

Reservoir Dogs

5/5 This was the directorial debut film from Quentin Tarantino, based on the script which he also wrote. Often mimicked, this is the original that started it all for Tarantino. I regard this film as my number two favourite film of all time, this film and I have had quite the history. The first time … Continue reading →

Dorian Gray

3/5 I guess it was just a matter of time before we got a Dorian Gray film, I believe there hasn’t been one based on the story since the 40’s. As I started to watch this, I realised I actually had no idea what Dorian Gray was actually about. All I knew was that he … Continue reading →

New Moon

2/5 Yes it is no secret I am not a fan of Twilight, so why did I go and watch the sequel? Curiosity mainly, but also it felt wrong saying something was bad when I hadn’t actually seen it. I need to be justified in that, I do believe you can’t judge something right unless … Continue reading →

The Messenger

4/5 I had not seen a trailer for this film, I had not read anything about the film, all I knew was that it featured Woody Harrelson and he had been nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes and the Oscars. That enough got my interest to see it, being a big Woody … Continue reading →

[REC] 2

4/5 This is actually a really difficult film to review without giving away any spoilers, so I shall try my best not to reveal anything. Much like the first film [REC], this is best going into without knowing anything, well one thing I can tell you, this picks up right where [REC] leaves off. A … Continue reading →
