You would think a film titled The Time Machine would make more use of – and give more importance to – some sort of time machine. You’d be wrong. Alex (Guy Pearce) is an academic besotted by two things; his … Continue reading →

Thirteen Ghosts (Review)

Posted on May 12, 2015 by OGR

Thirteen Ghosts is a trip to the beach in Summer with an esky full of beer… and four people that you cannot stand the sight of. A decent idea with entirely inappropriate ingredients that leaves you wishing you had chosen to … Continue reading →

The Equaliser (Review)

Posted on May 1, 2015 by OGR

Bob (Denzel Washington) has a menial repetitive job with low pay. He bothers no-one and keeps to himself. Sure he chats and is amiable, but in an instantly forgettable way. He’s the quiet guy in the diner eating his usual … Continue reading →
