Grace (Review)

Posted on November 29, 2009 by OGR

1) I have simply seen too many of these B and C flicks to be effected anymore. 2) Or horror filmmakers are getting lazy. 3) Or Grace is simply a bad movie. I think it is a combination of all … Continue reading →

Thirst (Review)

Posted on November 27, 2009 by OGR

A few years back I saw Oldboy. Up until that time in my life I had watched hundreds of foreign language films, loved some and endured others, but nothing to that point gave me the adrenaline rush that this film … Continue reading →

Black Dynamite (Review)

Posted on November 23, 2009 by OGR

This movie was inconsistent and patchy, and at times forgot what it was trying to do, but I had fun watching it and will probably mention this to friends more than any movie I have seen for a couple months. … Continue reading →

Posted on November 22, 2009 by OGR

A while back I was in the video shop taking an interminable time selecting my 5 weeklies as I do, when I heard a couple of kids yapping about what movies they had recently seen. Basically they were each trying … Continue reading →

Moon (Review)

Posted on November 21, 2009 by OGR

I heard about this months ago, and similarly to The Invention of Lying I hung around waiting for news as to when I might get the chance to check it out for myself. I watched Moon, The Invention of Lying … Continue reading →

Paranormal Activity (Review)

Posted on November 20, 2009 by OGR

Posted on November 19, 2009 by OGR

The Death of Joke-Telling

Posted on November 18, 2009 by OGR

A vicar, a scoutleader and a nun walk into a bar…. No wait, it turns out they didn’t after all. And it seems an odd group of people in the first place anyway… Centuries of people telling jokes has been … Continue reading →

Big Man Japan (Review)

Posted on November 18, 2009 by OGR

As Katt Williams would say, (he’d usually use the N-word as the full stop to every sentence but I can’t bring myself to write it here.) “This Shit right here!” “I mean this shit here!” “THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE!!” Big … Continue reading →

JCVD Van-Marrathonne Wrap (The Wash Up of the “Washed Up”)

Posted on November 16, 2009 by OGR

Even prior to the end of this at times grueling project I was struck by how even though I watched 20+ JCVD movies over about the same number of days, and that these movies were largely the same movie with … Continue reading →
