I can’t believe how utterly disappointed I’ve been in Jet Li’s north American film projects. Compared to his work done in Asia they are a total joke. The language barrier is a tough one… but in the hands of a skilled director that can be danced around. But it’s not … [Read More]

I recently saw Oldboy and quite frankly I was blown away, it helped that I watched it on DVD and had a superb amount of relevant features to get through (my review). It’s an amazing piece of cinema. Now hot on the heels of completing his vengeance series with Chinjeolhan … [Read More]
I think that there are many actors who have enormous talent but for some reason just are never made leads in the Hollywood sense of the word, there’s usually an obvious reason if not an altogether right reason. In the case of Timothy Spall he’s a superb actor who is … [Read More]

Title=Jimi Hendrix: Deluxe Edition
Score=7
Summary=A good purchase for the performances, and in particular the acoustic performance, but add the interviews and the making of featurette, and you have a classic DVD for the fan. If you’re neither a fan of Hendrix or the guitar, then this is definitely not for you.

According to sources through Moviehole the lovely Neve Campbell will not be in the next Scream movie… Apparently the one-time rising queen of scream was in talks with the Weinstein co. to give her lungs another work-out for a third sequel? She may have had the talks, but she won’t … [Read More]
Title=Wolf Creek
Score=8
Summary=True horror, suspense and terror unflinchingly shown onscreen. Some rough dialogue early on can jar you out of the movie, but this has some truly terrifying moments. Natural performances, with a stunning turn from the actor playing the psychopath. The “true story” aspect really does hurt the movie and causes more problems at the end, if this had been left out the movie would have scored higher.
Title=Broken Flowers
Score=6
Summary= An impressive display by Bill Murray playing an over the hill Don Juan searching for his son. An artistic driven film which starts out slow but soon picks up and is very enjoyable. Slightly lacking in performance chemistry and affective dialogue. Good performances by Sharon Stone, Jessica Lange and Bill Murray.
