Cypher (Review)
Cypher is creatively directed, ambitious and expansive. It is also riddled with inconsistencies and plot holes. Half way through viewing I jotted down ‘very Cube / Equilibrium’. Only after I finished watching did I realize it was the second film made … Continue reading

Blood Simple (Review)
For better or worse the Coen Brothers are as memorable and effective as the main characters in them. If the characters work, then so too invariably does the film. Good No Country for Old Men; Does anyone remember anyone beyond … Continue reading

What we do in the Shadows (Review)
Even if What we do in the Shadows doesn’t reinvent a genre, it certainly does look at it from a different angle. While purporting to be a mock-doco, WwditS is essentially a reality show about for swinging bachelors of greatly … Continue reading

Rushmore (Review)
Rushmore. A small but prestigious private school, churning out tomorrow’s business and thought leaders one class at a time. The can-do attitude, determination and confidence got Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) in (via a scholarship). A complete lack of ability, focus … Continue reading

Speed (Review)
Is it ironic that the lead man in Speed seems so very slow? Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and more experienced Harry (Jeff Daniels) are a pair of hotshot LAPD cops. The guys who arrive to the crime scene with the screech … Continue reading

The Babadook (Review)

Donnie Darko (Review)
Halloween is coming to the small and insular town of Middlesex… and to everywhere else I guess. It is 1988. A government election looms, a fact that divides the Darko household, an altogether nuclear family of nice parents, two dysfunctional … Continue reading

Minority Report (Review)
It’s easy to hate Tom Cruise. Nonetheless I still seem to put a lot of effort into it, avoiding his films as often as possible. Ultimately though the plot of Minority Report was too tempting to continue to ignore. Leaving … Continue reading

Red Scorpion (Review)
After his memorable stoic, near mute beefcake turn as Russian heavyweight boxer Ivan Drago it was inevitable that Hollywood would try to exploit the well muscled chiselled jaw of Dolph Lundgren to see if they might replicate the unlikely prior … Continue reading
