300 (Review)

Posted on February 28, 2013 by OGR

300 so blatantly deserves to be hated. It is so contrived, polished and purpose built for fanboys that is screams ‘unworthy’. But damn does my inner fanboy forgive it quick. Zack Snyder hasn’t handled his freedom and creative licence well … Continue reading →

Fair Game – 2010 (Review)

Posted on February 26, 2013 by OGR

Fair Game tells a story that should be fantastic and unbelievable, except for the fact that it is apparently true and paints a grotesque picture of the extent of corruption and the powers of red tape in the United States. … Continue reading →

Cop Land (Review)

Posted on February 25, 2013 by OGR

There are good films released every year with no name casts. Some of them are discovered through positive word of mouth, some unfortunately vanish without trace, known only to a few lucky die hards who happen upon them. Then there … Continue reading →

The 12 Year Rule of Musical Relevance Category 4: The All Time Greats.

Posted on February 23, 2013 by OGR

My theory is this; a musician has but 12 years to carve out a career and produce their best work. I am not talking 12 years from the day they pick up a guitar or a microphone, I mean 12 … Continue reading →

Silent Hill: Revelation (Review)

Posted on February 22, 2013 by OGR

The Day the Earth Stood Still – 2008 (Review)

Posted on February 21, 2013 by OGR

Based upon a one note ‘classic’ sci-fi film from an era where one note was plenty, the 2008 update strips away anything original and emerges with a film as charismatic as the dispassionate central figure played by a toned down … Continue reading →

Gran Torino (Review)

Posted on February 19, 2013 by OGR

What makes someone truly racist? I don’t understand pure racism, despite unwittingly harbouring racist thoughts myself on occasion. To me racism is a by-product of two entirely different thought process both mixed with ignorance. The first is that of fear. … Continue reading →

Kingpin (Review)

Posted on February 18, 2013 by OGR

If you hate the Farrelly brothers films Kingpin won’t change your mind. If you think they sometimes take things too far then this might be somewhat of a panacea. I personally think Kingpin is without doubt the best film that … Continue reading →

The Rocky Balboa Anthology 1-6 Undisputed Collection Review

Posted on February 16, 2013 by OGR

I can’t name a film series that spans more than four parts that I appreciated more than Rocky. Though in truth I don’t think it has that much competition. I don’t care for Star Trek. I thought the Star Wars … Continue reading →

Lawless (Review)

Posted on February 15, 2013 by OGR

Since Indiana Jones 4 I have straight up refused to watch anything featuring Shia LeBeouf. I mean the guy was aggravating in Constantine and I Robot, and he was a large component of the catastrophe that rendered my beloved Indy … Continue reading →
