Posted on December 30, 2016 by OGR

With sequels to low budget unexpected successes – even modest ones – there are two ways to go; you can continue full throttle with a bigger budget and hopefully snag a big name co-star to go alongside the headliner from … Continue reading →

HomeFront (Review)

Posted on July 14, 2016 by OGR

Aside from the occasional rarity Jason Statham’s movies are remarkably consistent, hovering between barely worthwhile and barely not worthwhile. This is known to me at least, as the ‘Statham Range’. Somehow this averages out to me automatically checking out every … Continue reading →

Spy (Review)

Posted on November 20, 2015 by OGR

I was asked this recently by a work colleague; “if Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell have made careers out of people laughing at them, so why do I have such an issue with Melissa McCarthy doing the same?” My response … Continue reading →

Cellular (Review)

Posted on May 15, 2014 by OGR

Posted on August 13, 2013 by OGR

Posted on May 31, 2013 by OGR
