AudioDescription= This week we look at one issue. The question is “How does one deinfe what an Indie Film is”? The two sides in the debate are 1) An Indie film is a movie made apart from the major Hollywood studio. 2) An Indie Film is a movie made outside of the sphere of Hollywood. Joining us this week are the guys from the fantastic website SpaceJunk.Org to partake in the debate.
I still remember the first time I saw Bloodsport. I saw it on a Saturday afternoon matinee on a sunny day with my girlfriend at the time Cheryl and it was at the Centre Mall Cinemas. I remember all this because at the time I thought it was the greatest … [Read More]
Title=The Transporter 2
Score=6
Summary=Snagging my demographic isn’t really all that hard. Show some amazing stunts, lots of fights with decent martial arts, and finally add in a hot chick with guns in her hands and you can pretty much guarantee a huge male audience will show up to see your film.
Title=A Sound Of Thunder
Score=2
Summary=A Sci-Fi film can be goofy and dumb and yet still be fun at the same time. But A Sound Of Thunder fails at every level that you can think of. Nothing works in this movie and I can easily predict that this movie will be making my “10 worst movies of 2005” at the end of the year.
Title=The Constant Gardener
Score=5
Summary=A movie that I SHOULD have liked, with good people in front of and behind the camera that ground itself to a halt almsot from the very begining and failed to ever get me to care about the people in the film or the issues they were struggling with.

However, there’s a twist… Slater will star opposite Peter Facinelli in a genius plot that includes not one, but two invisible men … [Read More]
Title=Dominion: A Prequel to The Exorcist
Score=9
Summary=A strong and subtle story, building heavily on the characters and in particular Merrin. Providing a lot more focus on his crisis of faith, the person he is, and his slow realisation on his first meeting with a Demon. A much better movie than the other Exorcist film. Also includes a short discussion of the Paul Schrader Q&A session afterwards.
You know, I just can’t believe how many emails I still get every week about Brandon Routh being cast as Superman. All by devout Smallville fans (as a side note… I really like Smallville). From the first day that the casting of Brandon Routh as Superman was announced, Smallville fans … [Read More]
