Review: “Cry Wolf”
Smarter and cleaner than expected, "Cry Wolf" plays much like 1998's "Urban Legend" - a psychological thriller masquerading as a teen slasher flick. Lacking...
Review: “Stealing Harvard”
A while back Tom Green was hailed as a comedy genius and his work in "Road Trip" drew pretty good reaction. Then came...
Review: “Once Upon a Time in Mexico”
I came into 'Mexico' as a newcomer, having never seen either "El Mariachi" or "Desperado" but familiar with all of Robert Rodriguez other work...
Review: “Cabin Fever”
Already touted as the next big revolution in the genre, this indie horror flick sadly does not live up to that reputation. As a...
Review: “Matchstick Men”
When he's good, Ridley Scott can change filmgoing forever (eg. "Alien", "Blade Runner", "Gladiator"). When he's bad, he's just extremely mediocre (eg. "1492", "G.I....
Review: “Stigmata”
This attempt to create a 90's version of "The Omen" results in a rather dull religious thriller saved only by a few factors. Patricia...
Review: “The Man”
A tired example of package deal movie making, much of the all too stretched 79 minute runtime of this comedy is spent mulling over...
Review: “From Hell”
Jack the Ripper stories have been done many times before, my personal fave being the Michael Caine mini-series made back in 1988. While "From...
Review: “Swimfan”
Whilst it had its share of problems, the now classic "Fatal Attraction" certainly had an impact on popular culture and scenes ranging from the...
Review: “City by the Sea”
Despite a stellar cast who give some touching moments to their performances, they can't help lift this wishy washy cop drama above mediocre TV...
Review: “Dickie Roberts – Former Child Star”
David Spade comedies are usually a little on the obnoxious side, so 'Dickie' proves a surprise as its arguably his most wide-appealing and easy...
Review: “The Order”
Ok so Brian Helgeland's "A Knight's Tale" wasn't exactly a great movie, but as a piece of popcorn entertainment it worked. There was fun,...
Review: “Holy Smoke”
Jane Campion's latest film about sex & religion is actually a lot like one of the most cherished icons of that latter subject -...
Review: “Quills”
Biographical films come wide and varied from the epic in scope ("Amadeus") to the quiet and more personal ("Shine"), but none that I can...
Review: “Snatch”
Its odd but gangster films I don't usually get. Whether it be Tarantino or his various clones I just never really get into them...
Review: “Far From Heaven”
One of the most beautiful looking and surprising films of the year, "Far from Heaven" gives us what would essentially be topics of a...
Review: “Jeepers Creepers”
All the Net hype would have you believe this is the biggest revolution since "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or the first "Nightmare on Elm Street"...
Review: “Fear.Com”
Had there been a decent story to hang all this on it may have been salvageable but instead it borrows a lot of elements...
Review: “Jeepers Creepers 2”
If one thing about horror is predictable, its that sequels are inevitable and usually end up just being bad remakes of the first film....
Review: “Suspect Zero”
Serial killer movies have been done to death, so one has to wonder why in the hell there seems to be a resurgence of...
Review: “The Cave”
Little to no script, limited range actors, weak direction and a story that plays out like "Aliens" or "Leviathan" but in a cave -...
Review: “Bring It On”
"She's All That", "Boys & Girls", "Idle Hands" - In this post-Scream era, most of the recent efforts in the teen movie genre read...
Review: “Ghosts of Mars”
The late 70's and 80's was a time when John Carpenter was king of cult cinema, a man who came up with some of...
Review: “Unconditional Love”
P.J Hogan and Jocelyn Moorhouse are two of Australia's greatest filmmaking talents. Between them they've been responsible for such films as "Muriel's Wedding", "My...
Review: “S1m0ne”
For a film aiming to be the ultimate satire of Hollywood, "Simone" falls somewhat shy of the mark to result in a light and...
Review: “Undisputed”
A surprisingly taut and engaging drama, "Undisputed" shows how well-focussed directing and putting substance over style can help overcome or at least distract an...
Review: “My Boss’s Daughter”
Pain - thy name is Ashton Kutcher. In all seriousness, the young actor when given the right material can prove a strong comedic talent...
Review: “The Medallion”
Yet another contender for the most terrible film of the year, the formerly titled "Highbinders" is Jackie Chan at pretty much his absolute worst....
Review: “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back”
Kevin Smith films I always have mixed feelings about. On the one hand "Chasing Amy" will always remain one of my favourite films of...
Review: “The Guru”
Combining 'Carry On' style sex comedy with Bollywood themes, new British comedy "The Guru" feels more like a standard US studio product than the...
