Three Amigos (Review)

Posted on December 19, 2013 by OGR

Steve Martin has aged extremely well, in fact he is the only aspect of Three Amigos! that has not changed dramatically in the past 25 years. When I was in my early teens this was the funniest thing going, but … Continue reading →

Paycheck (Review)

Posted on December 17, 2013 by OGR

Paycheck has a plot so similar to that of Total Recall that I cannot be sure it wasn’t adapted from the same Philip K Dick story (and really it’s a testament to my lack of research that I can’t be … Continue reading →

The Relic (Review)

Posted on December 16, 2013 by OGR

As best as I can gather the creature in The Relic was once a living being subjected to a dramatic and remarkable physical transformation after being cursed by a South American demon god. The creature is then inadvertently taken to … Continue reading →

Machete Kills (Review)

Posted on December 13, 2013 by OGR

Machete was born from a two minute deliberately cheesy fake trailer sandwiched between the Grindhouse films. The brainchild of low budget, big ideas Robert Rodriguez, it wasn’t too surprising when it was blown out to create an amusing and exhilarating … Continue reading →

The Orphanage aka El Orfanato (Review)

Posted on December 12, 2013 by OGR

The Orphanage is more of an atmospheric film than a scary one. The only blood spilt in the entire film is the result of an accident. The theme of lost young children actually lends itself more to a children’s bedtime … Continue reading →

Undertow (Review)

Posted on December 10, 2013 by OGR

While it might be an unenviable existence for those of us on this side of the screen, there is plenty of evidence that suggests the redneck South of the US is an action packed and interesting place to live indeed. … Continue reading →

Vampire’s Kiss (Review)

Posted on December 9, 2013 by OGR

Nicolas Cage plays a guy so crazy, so left field, so wilfully nutso, that if it weren’t for his thick head of lustrous hair I could easily be convinced that this was a modern day documentary made about his everyday … Continue reading →

Signs (Review)

Posted on December 5, 2013 by OGR

Signs made it three in a row for M. Night Snoogans, both in terms of ‘worthwhile’ status, and more depressingly in terms of reduced impact. It is a good – not great – film. A film you’d describe as ‘it’s … Continue reading →

Burn Hollywood, Burn (Review)

Posted on December 3, 2013 by OGR

Look if this is what counts as insightful and witty Hollywood whimsy then Burn the fucker down indeed. And don’t scrimp on the accelerants. Allegedly a tongue in cheek look at how Hollywood politics systematically dumbs down even the most … Continue reading →

White Men Can’t Jump (Review)

Posted on December 2, 2013 by OGR

I never really loved White Men Can’t Jump, I only mistakenly thought I did at one point in my youth. Have I ever mentioned that I purchased a Michael Bolton tape? Within 15 minutes of watching this film for the … Continue reading →
