Sahara

Well, this is one of those products that does exactly what it says on the can. It follows a salvage crew who get mixed up in a civil war, a rescue mission, a search for a missing boat and a virus outbreak. It starts promising enough but soon slips into formula fare but it’s entertaining […]

Ring Two

This is the US remake of the Japanese flick – I’ve got the japanese one on DVD but have yet to get around to watching it… I found this one ok, not as scary as the US Ring or Grudge seemed almost slow in places but it was all made up for by the way […]

The Assasination of Richard Nixon

Stylish film starring Sean Penn (maybe one of the coolest actors around) playing a joe average type whose life slowly falls apart and he slips further into desparation. It’s a great film with Penn acting his pants off as the guy who slowly crumbles before your eyes. UGC CinemasColour****

The Machinist

Slick thriller about a guy who hasn’t slept in a year.He thinks he sees a new guy at work, visits a cafe at the airport each night and has a girlfriend but the pieces slowly start to pull together to reveal the truth. Well acted by Christian Bale (skinniest part in a movie ever!) and […]

Street Theatre

Doc that interviews various street entertainers during a canadian festival. You also get to see some of their acts and there is some good stuff in it! DVD (in Krakow, Poland)Colour****

Some kids take hostage the inhabitants of a large house, unfortunately it’s a house that’s also wanted by some nasty crime lords. Lucky Bruce is around to save the day! UGC CinemasColour***

Great Woody Allen movie about how you look at life.It starts with some people in a restaurant who are discussing a situation and whether it would make a good comedy or a tragedy – the rest of the movie is that story but from both points of view… Old Woody is on top form here. […]
