I quite enjoyed this one, basically its about struggling playwright who has to cast a mobsters girlfriend in his new show, because the mobster put up the money for it. He gets in some other talent, and then the trouble and laughs unfold. Everyone is really good in this, thank goodness there was no Woody … Continue reading

[Rewind] Mini Review: Down By Law
Down By Law What a fantastic film! I just love this, so many fantastic moments! Superb performances by John Lurie as Jack, Tom Waits as Zach and Roberto Benigni as Roberto ‘Bob’.

[Mini Review] American Gangster (2007)
I must say this is epic! Ridley Scott does that well I must say! This is an excellent film, fantastic direction, script, acting, just everything! Sure this story is not new, but that doesn’t mean anything when it is told well. Denzel is excellent, a role perfectly suited to him. Russell Crowe is pretty good … Continue reading
[Rewind] Mini Review: Donnie Brasco

[Mini Review Rewind] Blue Car (2002)

Margaret Colin was pretty good as the mother, she was even a little creepy at times, not an easy role but she pulled it off quite well. David Strathairn … Continue reading

Not really sure what to say about this one, I am not even sure where to start. Sure the story is nothing new, a creepy guy stalks a beautiful woman. But what sets this one aside from the rest is the way in which it was filmed. We see this entirely from the point of … Continue reading
[Rewind] Mini Review: Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas “Oh my God. This is just like that drug trip I saw in that movie while I was on that drug trip.” Actually after just having watched this I feel like I am coming off a drug trip. That is how much of an affect this movie has, seriously! … Continue reading
Mini Review: Dancing At The Blue Iguana
The improv strip club movie, with Daryl Hannah, Jennifer Tilly and Sandra Oh. I first saw this on Foxtel, and I really liked it but at that time I had no idea it was a film that the actors improvised. Watching it again knowing that, I didn’t really think you could tell, it actually rolls … Continue reading
