Blades of Glory (Review)

Posted on January 13, 2015 by OGR

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (Review)

Posted on January 12, 2015 by OGR

Who Framed Roger Rabbit was an amazing accomplishment upon first release. A meld of animation and live action the likes of which were never seen on this scale. It brought together beloved cartoon characters across many companies and rights holders. … Continue reading →

The Interview (Review)

Posted on January 10, 2015 by OGR

Dave Skylark (James Franco) is the handsome and somehow popular host of light entertainment show Skylark Tonight, the kind of show that delights in pointing out which quasi-celebrities lost or gained a couple kilos, or better yet who has embarrassing … Continue reading →

Screamers (Review)

Posted on January 5, 2015 by OGR

Screamers starts promisingly but fades quickly. Disappointing given early and ultimately unfounded hopes that it might prove a B movie companion to such gems as The First Power and Blind Fury. On planet Sirius 6B, a mining colony became aware … Continue reading →

The OGR Best of 2014; Movies, music & TV.

Posted on January 3, 2015 by OGR

Twelve months ago I doubted I would watch Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad. I was half right, I actually watched all of Game of Thrones to date, and to be honest I wasn’t disappointed with any of them. But … Continue reading →

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (Review)

Posted on January 2, 2015 by OGR

This assumes you have at least a basic familiarity with the events thus far. If not, try HERE and HERE. Or read the books. I’m not here to run your life. The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies opens with … Continue reading →

Juan of the Dead (Review)

Posted on January 1, 2015 by OGR

I wrote this off as an obvious Shaun of the Dead imitator. And it is. Ironically the thing that will probably attract casual viewers is the same thing that likely drive the core potential audience away. Casual viewers probably won’t … Continue reading →
