I had steered clear of the British Ganster film and given films like ?Snatch? and ?Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels? a wide berth. After having the joy, or should I say agony of sitting through ?Layer Cake? it is fair to say that other films of that genre may never see […]

Rob Schneider has made some stinkers in his time like ?The Hot Chick? and ?The Animal? but with ?Deuce Bigalow ? Male Gigolo? he was certainly on a winner and so I was very much looking forward to the sequel ?Deuce Bigalow -European Gigolo? as I was in need of […]

I?m sure most movie buffs and cinema goers are familiar with the film ?Vera Drake? mainly due to the fact that British actress Imelda Staunton was nominated for an Academy Award for her strong portrayal of the title role. She didn?t win the Oscar but her performance in this film was […]

?Being Julia? was definitely a pleasant surprise that I wasn?t expecting. I thought I would see a boring ?arty film? that would send me into the land of slumber before it reached its conclusion but what I witnessed was an enjoyable film that had me enthralled as the story of London diva […]

How could Barney go wrong with his latest DVD to reach the Australian marketplace? Answer ? He can?t!!. This DVD has everything the 1-5 age group could possibly ask for- there?s a big purple dinosaur and lots of real zoo animals. Parents will love it too because it has the magical element we search for […]

?Be Cool? is the sequel to ?Get Shorty? which I happened to think was one of the worst films I had seen at that point in time. So much so, that I remember absolutely nothing about it. It was ten years ago though, so it has taken a while for them to revisit the antics […]

Any time I hear of a ?romantic comedy? being released on DVD the eyes light up in anticipation. Would this new film become my all time favourite and displace films like ?Notting Hill? and ?Bridget Jones? Diary? that I have placed up on a pedestal? Unfortunately, after watching ?In Good Company? the […]

I rushed to the cinemas to see Jimeoin?s first cinematic release, ?The Craic?, and I must say the laughs didn?t come thick and fast so I decided to wait for the DVD release of film number 2, ?The Extra? and save my money. Before watching ?The Extra? I wondered if there would be any improvement […]

This DVD contains four episodes from the children?s television show ?Bear in the Big Blue House? with each episode running about 24 minutes each. Other than Bear who is our size the remaining stars of the show are muppets and the good thing about them is you never see any strings and […]

The movie ?Friday Night Lights? is based around the Permian Panthers, a football (aka gridiron) team from Odessa, Texas and their highs and lows as they attempt to win the State Championships way back in 1988. I have to state first off that I love sports but I think Gridiron is one […]
