Posted on May 20, 2011 by OGR

After the Sunset (Review)

Posted on May 19, 2011 by OGR

Tremors (Review)

Posted on May 10, 2011 by OGR

For years I have considered this film Great, even as others wrote it off as a schlocky B movie creature feature about giant worms who eat bad actors in the desert. Tremors is the only film that I have owned … Continue reading →

Candyman (Review)

Posted on May 9, 2011 by OGR

Time seems to have gone past Candyman… but I remember when it was released in Australia in early 90s it was pretty far out stuff. A tall skinny black guy with a gruff voice gutting people with his hook hand … Continue reading →
