Maggie (Review)

Posted on July 31, 2015 by OGR

Maggie is an incredible tease of incredible proportions. To start with it has the greatest action hero of our time in Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead, then markets itself as a zombie film. Then it brings the man who quipped … Continue reading →

Falcon Rising (Review)

Posted on July 30, 2015 by OGR

Michael Jai White deserves more. He has looks, acting ability, charisma, brute strength and breathtaking ability, both of which he puts to use in some of the most bone-crunchingly athletic and visceral fight sequences to be filmed in the last … Continue reading →

Westworld (Review)

Posted on July 28, 2015 by OGR

If Westworld didn’t exist there would be several episodes of Futurama that would be mighty different. Aside from inspiring animated comedy though I can see little to extol beyond the initial premise. It is the future (for the 1970s anyway). … Continue reading →

Dressed to Kill (Review)

Posted on July 27, 2015 by OGR

Kate Miller’s sex life is far better in her head than in her bed, though it disturbingly seems to involve rape fantasies and other delusions that don’t find a role for her husband. Her psychiatrist Dr Elliott (Michael Caine) implores … Continue reading →

Posted on July 24, 2015 by OGR

So Judgment Day happened. Or it didn’t. The rise of Skynet either went ahead as prophesied. Or something else altogether. With the Terminator mythology already pretty much nailed in films one and two, every subsequent flick seems like the extra … Continue reading →

Doomsday (Review)

Posted on July 23, 2015 by OGR

Look to be honest I watched the film, wrote it up and then someone along the line I deleted it. Now I can’t be bothered rewatching or rewriting the film… …because the film sucks. Just understand that Doomsday is a … Continue reading →

Dark Water (Review)

Posted on July 21, 2015 by OGR

It’s bad enough that Dahlia’s (Jennifer Connelly) marriage has just broken down, and she has had to settle for a dingy little apartment to rebuild her and daughter Natasha’s life. But it gets worse, because of course it does. It … Continue reading →

Forrest Gump (Review)

Posted on July 20, 2015 by OGR

Movies have only skewed toward pleasing kids and teens for the last decade or so. In the 80s and 90s we teens didn’t have any money and the cost of a trip to the cinema was prohibitive for many, but … Continue reading →

Jurassic World (Review)

Posted on July 17, 2015 by OGR

There is a theme park on a remote jungle covered island. The theme is dinosaurs, and each attraction is filled with scientifically created dinosaurs, raised in labs and displayed for the amusement and awe of paying punters. You might ask … Continue reading →

Drillbit Taylor (Review)

Posted on July 16, 2015 by OGR

With some frightfully funny and daringly profane comedies under his belt, Judd Apatow decided to change tack and make a John Hughes style family friendly comedy, conveniently forgetting that if you take the profanity, irreverence and nudity out of an … Continue reading →
