All the while he is suffering from an unknown illness, the loss of a child and a strained relationship with his … Continue reading →

The Informant

4/5 Going into The Informant I wasn’t sure what to expect, all I really knew about this was that is was a film by David Soderbergh and it starred Matt Damon with an awesome mo. It starts off with Mark Whitacre (Matt Damon), he tells us a bit about what he does and it isn’t … Continue reading →

[Review] The Blind Side (2009)

[Review] The Blind Side (2009)

This is actually not an easy film to review, and I don’t want to go off on a rant about it. So I am going to make this as straight forward as possible. The Blind Side is about a poor man called Michael, his mother is a drug addict, never knew his father, and he … Continue reading →

Whip It

3/5 Small town indie girl Bliss, who does what her mother tells her to do, goes out to watch roller derby and falls in love with it. She tries out, makes the team, comes of age and learns those lessons. Yep nothing really original here, typical story with a very cool edge with the roller … Continue reading →

Trasharella

3.5/5 Trasharella is an interesting film, and it doesn’t really fall into one particular genre. This film is a huge mixture of things, exploitation, grindhouse, Betty Page, Lynchian, Ed Wood style just to name a few. It is all actually an interesting mix, as Director, Writer  and Star Rena Riffel (Showgirls) clearly is a fan … Continue reading →

Sleepaway Camp

3/5 This film has been one I have wanted to see since I can remember, I honestly can’t remember if I saw it when I was a kid but once I got into my teens and got into horror I kept hearing about Sleepaway Camp. The reason I just did not end up seeing it … Continue reading →

The Golden Bat

3.5/5 It is pretty much impossible for me to write a serious review of this awfully silly film. I wouldn’t have even heard of this if it wasn’t for one of my frequent podcasting guests the terrible Australian Bede. Bede was nice enough to send this film out to me, claiming it needed to be … Continue reading →

The Tournament

4/5 A film designed for Marcey, that is what The Tournament felt like! Action packed, bloody, cool cast of characters, silly and over the top, as if I was going to hate this one! The Tournament is just that, it is held every seven years, in a regular town with the worlds deadliest assassins. What … Continue reading →

Pixar’s UP

5/5 All I really want to say is I loved this film! I really did and I am so angry at myself for not going to the cinema to experience it. It was just such a beautiful, fun and delightful film and I just felt so happy after watching it. This was not a tradition … Continue reading →

Surrogates

2/5 First off, I really did not like this film and I was not really enthused to see it either. The trailer did not really sell me and it almost looked as if it was some kind of I, Robot rip off. Surrogates is set in the future where humans live isolated and instead they … Continue reading →

The Wolfman

3/5 The Wolfman is another horror remake, however this is a remake of a film made quite some time ago, 1941 to be exact. So how exactly does this hold up? Could the story be done again for a new audience? Did the production problems that plagued the film actually hurt the film? Well I … Continue reading →

Julie & Julia

3.5/5 Yes this is one of those based on a true story films, however this a bit different than the norm. This tells the story of two different women, in two different times, and one directly affects the other. The Julia Child’s side of things, we first meet her after she has moved to Paris … Continue reading →

[Review] (500) Days Of Summer (2009)

[Review] (500) Days Of Summer (2009)

This is a film I had been really excited about when I first saw the trailer, as time went on I wasn’t as excited and it kind of flew off the radar. I’ve finally gotten around to seeing it, after all the praise I had heard about it and the negative things, for me it … Continue reading →
