“If more time had been spent developing the character transformations then the film could have been another superb fantasy. Instead it's just another run of the mill effects blockbuster with little to no actual heart.”


I can't be too sure but I seem to recall reading The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe way back when I was in primary school. I say 'can't be to sure' because I can remember the title, and quite a bit about a magical wardrobe being a doorway to another world, but other than that, nothing. For tho...

“A film that spends a long time building up the suspense, before unleashing some of cinemas most terrifying imagery!”


The other day; while I was tidying the shelves of the Blockbusters I work at, a strange thought hit me. We have an entire section dedicated to horror there and none of the films appeal to me. I realized that no matter how popular the horror genre is, there are only a few titles that I even like. The...

“A mundane, unnecessarily nasty little horror movie with a concept that could have worked better.”


The best horror movies have always been the ones that tap into the audiences subconscious, placing them in a place that scares them, and a situation that terrifies them. Jaws did this with the water, Full Review »

“Witty script, solid direction, and some very good support are ruined by the fact that both Pitt and Jolie are on a bad day.”


Directed by Doug Liman (Swingers) and starring the combined might of Brad Pitt (Oceans Eleven) and Angelina Jolie (Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow) Mr. And Mrs. Smith is one film that screamed potential. Unfortunately this light hearted tale of the ultimate marital ...

“ Sith easily surpasses the other prequels, and if people accept it for what it is will be remembered alongside The Empire Strikes Back as one of the most emotional and exciting fantasy serials ever made.”


I've been waiting nearly 23 years for this moment to arrive! 23 years spent sitting in front of a TV screen enthralled by the ominous character of Darth Vader and wondering how anybody could possibly get that damn cool. Needless to say that when George Lucas finally got around to doing his prequel t...

“A film based on a book will rarely be able to compete with the source material but this remains one of the better conversions.”


A few years ago I had never even heard of the name Harry Potter that was; at that time, a best selling series of children's books that had the younger generation reading something with the same sophistication that Roald Dahl had brought to my childhood. I first heard about it when a film was ...

“It's certainly not a bad film, but it's not even close to greatness. Possibly the years biggest disappointment.”


Today was something of a fairly big day for me. It was that day; the day when I acquired a ticket to see the film that was sure to be the film of the year. Over the last 3 years that role has been taken up by a certain fantasy trilogy that I'm sure everybody is now aware of, and while their place as...

The Feature:
When the Hugh Jackman vehicle Van Helsing was first announced it was the films conceptual artwork that caught my eye. Four very cool, very dark pictures of The Wolfman, Frankensteins Monster, Dracula and of course Van Helsing himself. Now I haven't yet seen...
