Who the f*&k spewed this thing onto film? I’m so unimpressed with this sequel that I’m not going to spend more than a few sentences telling you what I think. I think that “bong bash with the president” pretty much sums it up. There were plenty of [...]
What the hellboy? Hmm.
When a movie opens with a bedtime story about how someone can challenge the ruler of the Empire for control of the Golden Army, you know exactly how that movie is going to end.
When a movie opens with a bedtime story that is eerily similar to that told [...]
So for me it took a while to write this review as I had to have some time to become more objective. This movie was the realisation of a fantasy that I had while watching a documentary on human trafficking a couple of years back – made me really really [...]
Let me just say that I love the X-Files. I had the pleasure of going through high school in the mid-late 90s, and growing up with the X-Files hype. Damn, I love that show. David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson WERE Mulder and Scully, and it was a shining example of [...]
Holy frijole, Batman!
First things first. I have not written a film review since Phil and I were in Grade 11 English class, tasked with reviewing “The Negotiator”. I got a decent mark on that one, so I feel at least somewhat justified in posting my opinions online.

more than blood: misanthropy, maulings, oil, greed, insanity…
Hey look it’s that Last of the Mohican’s guy and he rocks in this sumptuous slice of human self-induced misery. What this isn’t is a feel-good flick, what it is is a magnificently disturbing set of events that leave you gratified, miserable, disorientated [...]
Waaaaaaag! War porn!
Gear-up, bring popcorn and cackle away in a desensitised fashion (to the shocked looks of some) as characters get vaporised into puddles of blood. This movie succeeds where Rocky vs Balboa fails – it’s entertaining, less crap, and one can understand what Stalone says (though he doesn’t say [...]
A delicious morsel of musical tragedy
Tim Burton + Johnny Depp + musical + live action = a good show. Possibly a logical next step for Tim Burton, his dark style and muted palette couldn’t of suited this story better. Johnny Depp delivers his usual highly entertaining performance and it was [...]
