Maximum Conviction (Review)

Posted on August 30, 2016 by OGR

SEAGAL! STONE COLD! SHOULD WE CARE? IS IT STILL 1998? The fact is even a time machine could do little to save this formulaic mess. A film with aspirations of being The Rock crossed with Under Siege that ends up … Continue reading →

The Reflecting Skin (Review)

Posted on August 29, 2016 by OGR

Twin Peaks was wilfully weird but knew this, going further and further into the absurd and occasionally poking fun at this very fact. The Reflecting Skin is also especially weird, but unlike that film (and tv series) it lacks that internal … Continue reading →

The Jungle Book 2016 (Review)

Posted on August 28, 2016 by OGR

I might cut to the chase early and say that The Jungle Book deserves all of the kudos and success. This is an excellent family film with undeniable rewatchability. Helmed expertly by Jon Favreau this is the rare remake that … Continue reading →

Badges of Fury (Review)

Posted on August 25, 2016 by OGR

I don’t know where to start or where to begin. Let’s cut to the chase; Final Rating – 3.5 / 10. Awful directing. Awful plot. Awful jokes. Awful fights. Spectacular cleavage… When ‘spectacular cleavage’ isn’t nearly enough to garner a … Continue reading →

Mimic 2 (Review)

Posted on August 23, 2016 by OGR

Mimic was a Guillermo Del Toro helmed giant mutated bugs as serial killers film. Despite his obvious flair it was pretty unremarkable. Somehow a sequel was greenlit. Miss Remy was apparently in the first film, and while I saw that … Continue reading →

The Big Blue (Review)

Posted on August 22, 2016 by OGR

Jacques (Jean-Marc Barr) and Enzo (Jean Reno) have known each other since childhood. For the bulk of the film they are adults, but it was as children that they swam in the beautiful pristine waters of the Mediterranean, becoming known … Continue reading →

Suicide Squad (Review)

Posted on August 19, 2016 by OGR

Like Watchmen – itself a disappointing conglomeration of inferior superheroes – Suicide Squad spends an interminable period of time introducing our discount rack dynamos, before ignoring most and focusing only on the two main ones… We have Floyd aka Deadshot … Continue reading →

Alien Uprising (Review)

Posted on August 18, 2016 by OGR

It was a good 35 minutes into Alien Uprising and despite clear recollection that I had already seen the title in the credits, I was positive I was watching a different movie. The first half hour has idiots clubbing, a … Continue reading →
