Posted on October 20, 2012 by OGR

Moonrise Kingdom (Review)

Posted on October 19, 2012 by OGR

Moonrise Kingdom, like many Wes Anderson films, isn’t a drama, nor an action movie, nor a fantasy. In fact trying to force it into a genre is both confusing and disingenuous. If I was to try to put a reason … Continue reading →

Teen Wolf & Teen Wolf Too (Review)

Posted on October 16, 2012 by OGR

Why can’t I simply leave well enough alone? Teen Wolf was just another 80s movie that I didn’t catch at the time and have never bothered chasing up since. Until now. And boy do I regret it. Let me just … Continue reading →

Posted on October 15, 2012 by OGR

Taken 2 (Review)

Posted on October 12, 2012 by OGR

2008’s surprise hit Taken was an uber-violent action flick starring ‘serious actor’ Liam Neeson (who let’s not forget was also in Krull…) as a steely eyed remorseless killing machine willing to do anything to retrieve his young daughter from the clutches … Continue reading →

In Time (Review)

Posted on October 11, 2012 by OGR

The concept of In Time lends itself to all kinds of kinda clever wordplay. You see in this version of the future humanity has evolved to the point where standard ill health doesn’t exist, the only way you can die … Continue reading →

Yogi Bear (Review)

Posted on October 9, 2012 by OGR

I’ll preface this by first saying; Yogi Bear is first and foremost a kid’s movie, and as such shouldn’t be judged by the parent having to accompany the child. In fact it would be better for all if the parent/escort … Continue reading →

Super Troopers (Review)

Posted on October 8, 2012 by OGR

The much revered Super Troopers is OK I guess but not the laugh out loud irreverent laugh fest some make it out to be. In a sleepy town near the Canada / US border the ‘law’ consists of two groups, … Continue reading →
