Review: “The Jungle Book 2”
Like last year's "Return to Neverland", this purely direct-to-video effort should never have gotten a release on the big screen. At a miniscule 65...

Review: “Bride and Prejudice”
Films rarely get as bright or cheery as "Bride". Combining the classic Jane Austen story with a westernised Bollywood tone, this is pure light-hearted...
Review: “Hannibal”
This is an extremely hard film to review as it kind of defies conventional cinema. In fact if it weren't for the large budget,...
Review: “The Fog”
Certain films are acclaimed right away, others find that acclaim in retrospect and "The Fog" did just that. After such overnight success with "Halloween"...
Review: “Rollerball”
When I start off a review with the words "Even 'Batman & Robin' had pretty colours" you know to start worrying. I've never...
Review: “Collateral Damage”
It's somewhat sad to see many of the old great 80's action heroes vanish into oblivion. Seagal, Van Damme, Stallone, etc. who gave...
Review: “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”
The likeable leads and a slight mean streak help lift this otherwise ultra-bland romantic comedy above the soggy and somewhat limp material upon which...
Review: “Scream 3”
The first "Scream" still remains one of the definitive movies of the 90's. It single-handedly helped restart the horror genre which had been fizzling...
Review: “Swimming Upstream”
An interesting young male empowerment tale, "Swimming Upstream" utilises material that both looks and feels more like a TV movie than anything else and...
Review: “Boogeyman”
The first few weeks of the year and the last few weeks of August always seem to be about the time studios dump their...
Review: “Rabbit Proof Fence”
Director Phil Noyce has done the incredible job of dealing with the 'stolen generation' issue head on in a way that never holds back...
Review: “Shanghai Knights”
Jackie Chan's US film efforts have proven both hit and miss so far - "Rush Hour" and "Shanghai Noon" were funny and very entertaining...
Review: “Valentine”
A surprisingly well made production, "Valentine" shouldn't just be dismissed out of hand as another in a long line of teen horror fests. Director...
Review: “D-Tox”
Released in cinemas here in January 2002, the long delayed Sly Stallone thriller is unlikely to get a US domestic release and its understandable....
Review: “Final Destination 2”

Review: “The Perfect Score”
Whether they be called SATs, A-Levels or the HSC, the 'final exams' at the end of one's high school years is always, arguably, the...
Review: “You Got Served”
Two energetic and well-choreographed dance sequences do not a movie make, but that's all we get in "You Got Served" which coming a month...
Review: “The Recruit”
"Spy Game" without the flashy energy or interesting locales, the conventional yet enjoyable 'Recruit' gives audiences the standard mind games and twists you'd expect...
Review: “Alone in the Dark”
Only one person in seven survived the infamous 'Black Hole of Calcutta' incident in 1756, and those are better odds than making it through...
Review: “Hide and Seek”

Review: “The Count of Montecristo”
There's a good deal to like about the umpteenth adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' tale, but whether its time or the success of the more...
Review: “Darkness Falls”
"Darkness Falls" isn't even worth a video rental let alone the big screen treatment its getting. The lacklustre but similar "Wes Craven Presents: They"...
Review: “Win a Date with Tad Hamilton”
A brief, at times funny, run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, 'Tad' is an enjoyable experience guaranteed to give you a smile and drop out of your...
Review: “The Butterfly Effect”
A surprisingly engrossing and dark tale of a man changing his past, "Butterfly" bases itself on an admittedly ridiculous premise of time jumping and...
