Australia has Uwe Boll's heir apparent

A ★★★ review of Primitive War (2025)
There's so much to like about this movie. Strip the Russian bomb shit, the insanely and unnecessarily long running time and jermy fucken sniven and you've got a great movie. The Russian weapon crap tu...

A ★★★★½ review of The Accountant² (2025)
This was great. I'm an Affleck guy and his pairing with Jon Bernthal is inspired. Their chemistry was ideal for the tone of this. There was levity and tension in equal parts, like a proper, fraught si...

Smashing Machine not a smash hit
boxd.it/bFP8SJ
A ★★ review of The Smashing Machine (2025)
I followed Mark's career as it was happening and I was primarily a huge Bas Rutten fan. I was really impressed with Ryan Vader's performance as Mark Coleman. He gave him depth and wasn't wooden at all...

New and improved Baby Driver
boxd.it/bFpo7x
A ★★★★ review of Eenie Meanie (2025)
I saw comparisons to Baby Driver saying this was the inferior. I'd suggest it's the contrary. I think this is the far superior of the two. Samara Weaving is great. She's tough and beautiful. I was rem...

A ★★★★ review of 28 Years Later (2025)
Fabulous world building to construct the existence of these dystopian societies and lives in such a rich way. The story was fascinating and surprisingly heartfelt. I appreciated that the path chosen w...

Cazzie David and Jason Alexander sharing screen time is nice

A ★★ review of Stealing Pulp Fiction (2024)
It was almost good fun but couldn't quite make the leap. It just felt like they had access to a few sets and their own clothes and condtructed a movie around it that's very thin on premise.

Rebirth is stillborn
boxd.it/bDkhoN
A ★ review of Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)
The oldest things in this movie are the clinches and telegraphed elements designed to tug at the heart strings. We live in an age where we can get a movie with spectacular vfx and critique the cinemat...

Psycho Goreman? More like I want more man!
boxd.it/bCYxDl
A ★★★★★ review of PG: Psycho Goreman (2020)
On rewatch this is great. I must not have been in the mood on the first viewing. It's funny, stupid, entertaining and gross in equal measure. This is the perfect movie to watch with friends. If you vi...

Outside the wire is dumb movies
boxd.it/bCYuaF
A ★½ review of Outside the Wire (2021)
Tired and rote. It uses action sequences to make up for mediocre storytelling and acting.

Paddington is more fun in London
boxd.it/bCYez5
A ★★★ review of Paddington in Peru (2024)
I now know that I want my Paddington capers kept within the M25. This was fun but is too big and in kind loses the magic of the first two films. There's fun parts but the whole mythology and ghost Ant...

I like my Dracula a little gayer but this is still amazing
boxd.it/bCR6ux
A ★★★★ review of Dracula: A Love Tale (2025)
Luc Besson's Dracula A Love Tale swings for the fences and for the most part hits big. It's ridiculous and over the top. I'm reminded of the aesthetic of Marie Antoinette at times. The sets and costum...

A ★★★★½ review of Twinless (2025)
I was so impressed by this. A story of a completely reprehensible act seizing on a tragedy that tells both sides of the story with great sympathy. This was told with such art and sensitivity even thro...

Pretty much what you'd expect from a Plankton movie
boxd.it/bCo49J
A ★★½ review of Plankton: The Movie (2025)
It's what you expect out of a Spongebob Cinematic Universe movie. Not as shitty as Sandy Cheeks but not as fun or funny as the Spongebob films. I watched it at work because I could pause it as necessa...

A quality caper of escalating returns
boxd.it/bBjXIZ
A ★★★★ review of Caught Stealing (2025)
Darren Aronovsky has put together a very satisfying crime caper with a banging soundtrack. Without him drawing on them, this felt like it had the best elements of the Coen brothers and Guy Ritchie cri...

Not everything came up roses in this retold farce
boxd.it/bB9w5V
A ★★★ review of The Roses (2025)
For the most part a really good film but the escalation into cartoonish violence was ultimately unsatisfying. I find it frustrating to watch otherwise intelligent characters self destruct instead of b...

Derivative and unique? Lesbian noir is a thing
boxd.it/bAFxs7
A ★★★½ review of Honey Don't! (2025)
There was a real sense of familiarity about this. Great old school noir notes. Is lesbian noir a genre yet? There were a lot of unresolved elements. It felt about half an hour short. It took a while t...

The best fun you'll have watching disembowelment

This was excellent. Silly and gross like the original but with a touch of pathos. Great performances and excellent villains. The kills were nasty, it was a modern Troma film with a budget. Macon Blair...

A ★★★★ review of Bloodbath at the House of Death (1984)
First of all a big thank you to Vinegar Syndrome for releasing this in sparkling 1080p. I first watched this on VHS around the time it was released in Australia. I was about 10 and loved The Kenny Eve...

A ★★ review of Nightmare Sisters (1988)
They did the scene of the naked girls in the bath soaping each other's tits first and worked back from there. I'm glad that the uggo chicks ended up hot but still settled for the nerds. Bazinga!
