Tin Men (Review)

Posted on June 30, 2014 by OGR

Tin Men reminds me so much of Changing Lanes. Both are films that start with a minor car accident, and while they each head off in differing directions from that point,  at the core both are films about competitive guys … Continue reading →

Edge of Tomorrow (Review)

Posted on June 27, 2014 by OGR

When the mech invasion came we were – once again – embarrassingly unprepared. In a short space of time these robotic alien forces had wiped out entire cities and taken key areas as their own. In an all too rare … Continue reading →

The Raven (Review)

Posted on June 26, 2014 by OGR

The Raven gives a stylish and steadfastly dark portrayal of the possible last days of Edgar Allen Poe, the legendary author of many similarly dark and stylish masterpieces in literature. An arrogant man drunk on his own genius and full … Continue reading →

The Mosquito Coast (Review)

Posted on June 24, 2014 by OGR

The Mosquito Coast tells the fictional story of Jerry Fox and his unfortunate family. A pretentious anti-US but somehow pro-American doomsday crackpot with just enough brains to think himself genius but not near enough common sense to do what’s best … Continue reading →

Marked for Death (Review)

Posted on June 23, 2014 by OGR

Speed Racer (Review)

Posted on June 19, 2014 by OGR

The Wachowski clan’s version of the Japanese anime series Speed Racer is a two hour sugar rush of mostly bad ideas. A candy coated confusion. The film opens with psychedelic colours and furious unbridled energy – actually both of those … Continue reading →

Trees Lounge (Review)

Posted on June 17, 2014 by OGR

The hardest part of being the designated skipper on a big night out is remaining sober while watching your mates get stuck in and enjoy themselves. It would be countless times harder staying silent on the periphery while they got … Continue reading →

Razorback (Review)

Posted on June 16, 2014 by OGR

In the uncompromising and uninviting Australian outback, where the temperatures regularly hit 40 degrees (that’s 100 and something to those in the Northern hemisphere), water is scarce and the burnt orange dust seems to blend into the horizon, there are … Continue reading →
