Nightmaster

April 26, 2005

Amazon are trying to sell this with the description "The boundaries between real life and fantasy becomes blurred when Robbie and Amy play night games...", which may give you the wrong impression about the kind of action this movie contains.

Playing God

March 6, 2005

I warn you, this film features a laconic performance by David Duchovny. Unlike most of double d's roles, which are energy packed.

The Maker

February 25, 2005

Top quality crime/coming of age drama from the pound shop? Who'd have thunk it.

All The Queen's Men

February 16, 2005

One of the more interesting artistic choices that the opening indicates, and is repeated throughout the movie, is the lack of subtitles on the sections conducted in german.

Cover-Up

January 30, 2005

In the end, unlike one of Dolph's later thrillers, Silent Trigger, Cover-Up doesn't even give us a ludicrously huge gun to provide amusement through the more tepid sections of the film.

Shades

January 25, 2005

I get the feeling that Shades could have had some kind a second chance. As it is the budget market is the only place you'll find it for the time being, but it is definitely the kind of discovery that makes it worth digging.

Sworn To Justice

January 10, 2005

Outside of her Hong Kong movies Sworn To Justice features some of Rothrock's best scenes, martial arts wise. The problem is that there are simply not enough of them.

Spotswood

January 3, 2005

Spotswood is a move which takes it's time to let the characterisations mature, but does so with a reasonable feeling of pace, and it's a local movie, but one with international appeal.

Raging Angels

December 28, 2004

I really hope that this movie was paid for by a church somewhere, Ed Wood style. At least in that case you could say that some sort of misguided sense of evangelism was behind it, and write it off as The Passion Of Moloch

Shadow Run

December 20, 2004

I have nothing against fat people, or kids, or even fat kids, but the sight of a large-and-in-charge pasty skinned 13 year old huffing his way across the country side in his PE kit and NHS glasses is just not the way to open a movie.
