The Men Who Stare At Goats

4/5 Good title isn’t it? It certainly got my attention, and I am glad it did as I had a blast with this film! It tells the story of a reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), who wants to get ‘the’ story, so he travels to Iraq in the hopes of getting something on the front … Continue reading →

Daybreakers

4/5 Another film with vampires (actual vampires, these ones do not sparkle and they have fangs), however what sets Daybreakers apart from the rest is that it is something original and there are things here which have not been done before, and I for one really enjoyed the heck out of that! In the world … Continue reading →

[Review] An Education (2009)

An Education is really just that, it is an education, a life learning experience, coming of age for Jenny (Carey Mulligan). The film is set in the 1960’s in England, 16 year old Jenny is attending school and her parents (mostly her father played by Alfred Molina) have high hopes for her. On a rainy … Continue reading →

[Review] The Box (2009)

Richard Kelly was a film maker everyone was so excited about after the release of Donnie Darko several years ago, he took awhile to follow it up with Southland Tales which it seems is very much a hated film (I did not get around to seeing it), and it has several different cuts. I think … Continue reading →

[Rewind] The Gate

The Gate The Gate is an 80’s younger audience targeted horror film, which marked the film debut of one Stephen Dorff who is now probably best known as playing vampire Deacon in Blade. As a young girl I remember visiting the video store, and I always went to the horror section and I remember seeing … Continue reading →

The Monster Squad

4/5 The first thing that came to mind after I watched this was that they sure don’t make kids/family films like this anymore. Back in the 80’s kids were vulgar, they swore, they were really mean. It seems now when you watch a kids/family film the kids are too nice, they don’t say ‘shit’ or … Continue reading →

[Rewind] Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS

Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS Now I like me some exploitation films, and one I have heard about for many, many years is Ilsa She Wolf Of The SS. This is a cult classic exploitation film, and after many years I managed to track down the unrated version to finally watch and see if … Continue reading →

[Review] Avatar (2009)

[Review] Avatar (2009)

Easily one of the most talked about films this year, James Cameron returns after a 12 year break with the ground breaking Avatar. Did it live up to the hype? It sure did! Watching Avatar is like watching some wonderful dream, the visuals are probably some of the best I have ever seen in film, … Continue reading →

[Rewind] The Doom Generation

The Doom Generation This was a really trippy film, there is no other way to describe it. I am going to struggle to give this any kind if explanation actually. The tag line is a heterosexual film by Gregg Araki, maybe meaning there was only hetero sex in it but there was a lot of … Continue reading →
