Land of the Lost
I have a toddler at home that will be three later this year, and I can’t wait for him to get a year or two older so I can start sitting with him through a heap of kid’s movies that … Continue reading

Crank – High Voltage
I liked Crank despite myself. It was stupidly and unrealistically violent, ridiculously profane, surreal, obviously stylised, throwaway disposable and trashy… And fun. Every minute had the characters winking at the camera saying “can you believe they green-lit this shit?” as … Continue reading
