Posted on October 18, 2013 by OGR

Mutant Chronicles (Review)

Posted on October 17, 2013 by OGR

Everything that takes place in this film is foretold in an ancient book that the small band of ‘heroes’ take with them on their arduous journey for guidance and strength. I’m not sure if the chronicles made mention of just … Continue reading →

Sahara (Review)

Posted on October 15, 2013 by OGR

Sahara is the cinematic equivalent of its star Matthew McConaughey, it is big, bronzed, well meaning, amiable in an awkward and forced way… and I would be just as happy if neither existed. Shirtless Matt is Dirk Pitt, a fearless … Continue reading →

Beavis & Butt-Head Do America (Review)

Posted on October 14, 2013 by OGR

Beavis and Butt-Head are a pair of clueless, metal loving teenage morons who spend their entire waking existence in front of the TV making grunting and grating noises, the most annoying of which is their attempts at speech. I watched … Continue reading →

Posted on October 10, 2013 by OGR

I don’t like to lead with an absolute statement but it requires saying; everyone in The Passion of Darkly Noon is a nutbag. And because I just did absolutely go with one absolute statement, here’s another; The Passion of Darkly … Continue reading →

Hart’s War (Review)

Posted on October 8, 2013 by OGR

Hart’s War takes those two box office juggernauts, the trial film and the largely action free World War 2 film and quite sensibly combines the two, leading to the inevitable… well let’s just say it shouldn’t have come as a … Continue reading →

The Usual Suspects (Review)

Posted on October 7, 2013 by OGR

The Usual Suspects, like The Sixth Sense, is so more than a ‘twist’ film. Nonetheless that is what both films have become known for in the decade and more since they were released. The Usual Suspects starts with a police … Continue reading →

Resident Evil vs Underworld – Battle of the Over-Rated Franchises

Posted on October 5, 2013 by OGR

Resident Evil vs Underworld Bad music is everywhere. But it is avoidable. All you need to do is avoid the radio at all costs, steer clear of popular TV, ignore the 23 music channels and so called ‘talent’ shows that … Continue reading →
