The Dead 2 – India (Review)

The Dead was a refreshingly simple take on the zombie genre that took things back to the origins. It didn’t try to explain, solve or reinvent, merely gave us a film that dealt with the age old conundrum ‘how would … Continue reading

The Demented (Review)

The inoffensive alt rock over similarly nothing credits should have been a warning. I wish I read the signs better… So serious Lego-Hair and Broken Scar-Jo are an item. They are friends with street smart Token Black Athlete and sassy … Continue reading

Breakdown (Review)

When Jeff (Kurt Russell) and Amy Taylor learned they needed to take a long journey across America, they opted for the long way rather than once again flying across some of the spectacular desert vistas and scenic highways. So now … Continue reading

Bird on a Wire (Review)

Bird on a Wire relied on the public personas of leads Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn as selling points upon its release in the late 80s. Which is oddly apt I guess, seeing as the film itself is attractive and … Continue reading

Road House (Review)

Shocker (Review)

Wes Craven’s career would be nothing without his one big (admittedly genius) idea. By allowing Freddie Kreuger free reign in the dreams of teenagers he guaranteed that no killing could be too over the top, no line too lame and no … Continue reading

Locke (Review)

Locke is a unique beast. It could be equally effective as a one man stage show. Hell it would work if filmed using just a fixed webcam. We meet Ivan Locke (Tom Hardy) behind the wheel of his car as … Continue reading

Bernie (Review)

I would think that the following review should be labelled spoiler filled, although all the info contained below can be found on the DVD cover for the film… Bernie (Jack Black) is a small town treasure. A relentlessly cheery 40 … Continue reading
