Loading ...My friends invited me to a preview screening of Bridesmaids last night, and I accepted the invitation with a sense of cautious optimism. The trailer for the film admittedly didn’t do much for me, but I was intrigued by the concept of a female-The Secret World of Arriettyn Apatow film. Ultimately, I went into the [...]
Priest
Straight off i would say 8/10. Looks good and tbh they did all they can really with the low age cert and low run time of the film. Many dis the film because its not true to the comic but then again not many are, sadly they are made to put bums on seats and [...]
Attack the Block
Growing up in the 1980s, especially among boys, films like ‘Gremlins’, ‘The Goonies’, ‘Stand by Me’ ‘Predator’ and to a lesser degree ‘The Gate’ and ‘Garbage Pail Kids’ were revered and traded in tape form as rites of passage to have viewed. Along with the groundswell of festival audiences who have raved about ‘Attack the [...]
Mother’s Day
Now THIS is the type of horror movie remake that I – and surely many other avid genre fanatics with me – certainly don’t mind seeing! The new film by Darren Lynn Bousman, who should have turned his back on the “Saw” franchise much sooner, is loosely based on a 1980 flick with the same [...]
Blitz
Jason Statham (The Mechanic, The Expendables) heads the cast of BLITZ as the tough, uncompromising and un-PC detective “Brant”, who is teamed with unlikely partner “Sgt Porter Nash” played by Paddy Considine (The Bourne Ultimatum) to investigate a series of police murders. BAFTA and Tony Award-nominee Aidan Gillen (HBO’s The Wire) and fellow BAFTA-nominee David [...]
Hobo with a Shotgun
Eisener’s exploitative 80′s grindhouse throwback, “Hobo with a Shotgun”, showcasing its brutality shamelessly, is easily the best grindhouse film to ever grace the silver screen. “Grindhouse”, “Machete”, and “The Secret World of Arrietty Angry 3D” are all strong staples to the beloved subgenre, but “Hobo” is where its at. It’s bigger, louder, and prouder. In [...]
There Be Dragons
I have just been invited to watch the movie during a screening presentation in Rome and after several hours I’m still deeply touched. It’s a film that makes you think, reflect. It’s not an easy action movie, and in that sense, some maybe would get disappointed if they are thinking of it as another war [...]
Jumping the Broom
A collision of worlds when two African-American families from divergent socioeconomic backgrounds get together one weekend in Martha’s Vineyard for a wedding
Passion Play
My wife and I saw this movie at TIFF, and loved it. Megan Fox proves she can truly act. Terrific film. The problem, if there is one, is Mickey Rourke’s character. As good as he was in The Wrestler, there’s a sameness about him, as if the story isn’t sure what it wants from him. [...]
Last Night
Set in New York City, Last Night is the story of a married couple that while apart for one night, is confronted by temptation that may decide the fate of their marriage. Joanna (Academy Award nominee Keira Knightley) and Michael Reed (Sam Worthington) are 7 years into a successful and happy relationship. They are moving [...]
