The Last House On The Left (remake)

3.5/5 Okay first things first, I love the original film by Wes Craven, even with all its flaws, I love it. It is a disturbing film, especially for a film of the early 70’s. It has this brutal, ruthless violence, definitely reflecting the time it was made. Sure it had bumbling cops and some weird … Continue reading

The Mysteries Of Pittsburgh

3/5 So this has been on my to see list since pre-production, and I am sure there are those of you which would know why, and if you don’t well, bad luck. It felt like it took forever for this to even get a trailer and then released. But finally it came out and to … Continue reading

[Review] Bronson (2008)

[Review] Bronson (2008)

I had seen the trailer to this and I was blown away (check it out below), I thought it looked pretty awesome and it stars Tom Hardy (Star Trek: Nemesis). It is about a real man named Michael Peterson aka Bronson, who is Britain’s most notorious prisoner. I knew pretty much nothing about the man, … Continue reading

Milk

5/5 I have actually had quite a hard time writing this review, not because I didn’t like it. I loved this film, very much. But I have found it quite difficult to get my feelings out, and I thought I would wait for a second viewing to do so. Last night I watched Milk for … Continue reading

[Mini Review] Body Of Lies (2008)

[Mini Review] Body Of Lies (2008)

I got to say going in this not really knowing about it, kind of made it all the more interesting. Watching everything unravel at the start was great. It just takes you right in there and leaves you there. Ridley Scott is perfect for this type of film, and he has such a great cast. … Continue reading

[Mini Review] The Babysitters (2007)

[Mini Review] The Babysitters (2007)

I’d seen the trailer and it had me quite interested, I always fall for the films about teenagers acting badly. Basically its about a girl in High School who turns her babysitting service into a prostitution service so she can make money for college. Of course it gets more complicated then that, but you have … Continue reading

[Mini Review] An American Crime (2007)

[Mini Review] An American Crime (2007)

This is quite possibly one of the more disturbing and heart breaking films you are likely to see. Based on the real events (They based a lot of it on the actual trial transcripts) of Sylvia, a young girl sent to live with a family who end up torturing her. The prosecutor of the actual … Continue reading

[Mini Review] The Brave One (2009)

[Mini Review] The Brave One (2009)

I thought this was pretty average, sure Jodie Foster can carry a film and she’s great. But the actual script and storyline really let this one down. It was really just too unbelievable, and I really thought it could have been done in a way which seemed more plausible and because of that it really … Continue reading

[Mini Review] 3:10 To Yuma (2007)

[Mini Review] 3:10 To Yuma (2007)

What a movie! I loved this! I expected to like it, but not totally fall in with it! Everything about this was great, I loved the story (Yes I know it was a remake), and I liked the way our two leads developed over the course of the film. Russell Crowe is amazing in his … Continue reading

[Rewind] Mini Review: Heathers

Heathers The ultimate teen high school black comedy! Who didn’t love this movie growing up? This totally go me through my youth and watching it again was just truly awesome. The script is great, so clever and funny and for back then very daring. I’m not even sure they’d dare do this today honestly! Winona … Continue reading

[Mini Review] A Scanner Darkly (2006)

[Mini Review] A Scanner Darkly (2006)

What a bizarre film! At first the animation put me off, but after a few minutes I got used to it. It was very well done though, the scramble suit looked awesome. I wouldn’t mind hiding out in one of those! The story was an interesting one, one about drugs in the future, paranoia, different … Continue reading

[Rewind] Mini Review: Fargo

Fargo One of the classic films from the 90’s, always great to revisit this one. Everything about it is just perfect, the script, the actors, just everything! A simply storyline where things just keep going wrong. What is great about this, is it just goes by so quickly, one of the awesome qualities of this … Continue reading
