Rec: 2 (Review)

Posted on March 31, 2011 by OGR

I saw the original Rec: a couple years ago and found it merely adequate, a far cry from the fawning it seemed to receive from critics and punters alike. I just didn’t – and still don’t – get how very original it … Continue reading →

Mallrats (Review)

Posted on March 29, 2011 by OGR

I’ve watched a lot of Kevin Smith stuff lately, let it be said this isn’t the best idea. His formula is now so well worn that you start realising how few laughs there actually are in his movies, and how … Continue reading →

Pootie Tang (Review)

Posted on March 28, 2011 by OGR

Pootie Tang is either the worst film in cinematic history… or the 5th worst film in cinematic history… I can’t decide. What it most definitely is – is a casting call of stand up comedians and “it” musicians from Hip-America… … Continue reading →

Lethal Weapon Quadrilogy Review Marathon (Review)

Posted on March 26, 2011 by OGR

Most of Mel Gibson’s resume makes it easy for me. I retrospectively want to hate everything he has appeared in due to his repeated failure as a human being over the last few years, but Lethal Weapon 1 &2, Mad … Continue reading →

Battle: Los Angeles (Review)

Posted on March 25, 2011 by OGR

Loud, inane and noisy doesn’t necessarily mean obnoxious – unless you happen to be Jamie Foxx on a talk show. Battle: Los Angeles toes a fine line and at the very least avoids being a complete waste of its several … Continue reading →

All the Boys love Mandy Lane (Review)

Posted on March 24, 2011 by OGR

Mandy Lane (Amanda Heard) is: / hot, / unattainable, / sensible and / reasonably innocent. All the guys (including me) see the first point, see the second as a challenge, ignore (3) and hope (4) provides the opportunity to ‘slip … Continue reading →

Gladiator 1992 (Review)

Posted on March 22, 2011 by OGR

No not that one. While I am sure that I will get to the Rusty Crowe epic at some point rehashing hundreds of big budget supposed classics doesn’t interest me that much. Get online and search “swords and sandals and … Continue reading →

Over the Top (Review)

Posted on March 21, 2011 by OGR

Sometimes there is nothing better than kicking back with a good book. When pressed for time sneaking an episode of Family Guy or Tosh.0 provides some chuckles. Other times a good drama with a solid story, quality acting and a … Continue reading →

Rango (Review)

Posted on March 20, 2011 by OGR

Rango is not a real name, only a pseudonym. A pseudonym chosen in haste by a chameleon stranded far from home and under pressure. But as he has selected the name that is what I will use. Rango is a … Continue reading →

B Movie Haiku Reviews – File Under: ‘Unnecessary’ – Death Race 2 / Gothika / Resident Evil: Apocalypse

Posted on March 19, 2011 by OGR

Odd month. I temporarily gave up on finding the forgotten or unheralded masterpiece for a while. This should have meant more time to watch truly great films and entertaining movies from my own collection – and it did – but … Continue reading →
