London (Review)

Posted on April 20, 2012 by OGR

For some inexplicable reason my unnecessary defense of Jason Statham’s mostly mindless – yet undeniably entertaining – action film career somehow manages to attract visitors to my site even in periods when he doesn’t have a film to shill (that … Continue reading →

Unbreakable (Review)

Posted on April 19, 2012 by OGR

After The Sixth Sense it was inevitable that M. Night Shana-na-na’s follow-up would be both much anticipated and heavily scrutinised. The end result was a solid film that was pleasantly enjoyable and perhaps only 10% off its predecessor. Unfortunately that … Continue reading →

Rise: Blood Hunter (Review)

Posted on April 17, 2012 by OGR

Rise: Blood Hunter is extremely competent in many ways. As an example of the vampire genre there are many aspects that are well carried out, and the film is quite stylish at times. But I can’t endorse mere competence as … Continue reading →

Ladyhawke (Review)

Posted on April 16, 2012 by OGR

France: Middle ages. Ladyhawke is a love story for 80s teens in the same way The Princess Bride was and I guess the same way Twilight is now. Only this is inescapably a product of the 80s, and as such … Continue reading →

So I got an ‘800 Series Terminator’ for my birthday…

Posted on April 14, 2012 by OGR

It was a while back as I recall, and the day was bright and sunny. I remember mainly because I really wanted a RC car and the day would have been perfect for it… But no, I get a fully … Continue reading →

Moneyball (Review)

Posted on April 13, 2012 by OGR

Moneyball joins The Social Network and Margin Call as films that try to make the stories behind things I could give two shits about entertaining. More than that it actually manages to be the pick of the three, with the … Continue reading →

Puss in Boots (Review)

Posted on April 13, 2012 by OGR

I gave Puss in Boots ten minutes of my best untainted non-cynical attention, then I realised it was everything I dreaded; a perfectly competent, mildly entertaining, entirely commercial product where the entire ‘entertainment value’ lies in the name recognition of … Continue reading →

Dog Soldiers (Review)

Posted on April 12, 2012 by OGR

Somewhere in the forests of Wales a small group of soldiers are performing some battle simulation exercises at night led by the rough and ready Sergeant Wells (Sean Pertwee) and seconded by his long time friend Cooper (Kevin McKidd). The … Continue reading →

The Amityville Horror 2005 (Review)

Posted on April 10, 2012 by OGR

All houses are different things to different people. To some they are simply a roof and a place to take shelter, to others a source of immense pride and an ever-evolving creation that tells visitors about the owner. To me … Continue reading →

Heat (Review)

Posted on April 9, 2012 by OGR

Heat is a rare beast, an action-drama that is just as effective in both respects. Featuring an all-star cast of big names and more than a couple Oscar winners (even if Portman stole hers) Heat is the ultimate good guy … Continue reading →
