Chronicles of Riddick, The


The Chronicles of Riddick is the sequel to the popular, low budget flick, Pitch Black which was released in 2000. Pitch black was not that popular in cinema?s, but gained a mild cult following after its release onto the small screen via DVD and cable television. The original was a great movie, in […]

MTV Punk


Punk?d is an interesting concept… a moderately famous celebrity (Kutcher) decides to take his prankster behaviour one step further and create a show, with some friends, where he plays elaborate pranks on other celebrities while they are secretly filmed. It?s kind of like a ?celebrity candid camera? ? but with an obviously much higher […]

Alias ? Season 1


Alias is one of the most watchable television series to come out of the United States in the last few years. There are too many police/court-room dramas on television at the moment and it seems as though commercial Australian television stations think that nobody wants to watch anything else. It?s obvious that these shows […]

Samsara


All I can say right now is what a bloody beautiful movie.This is a film about love, life and loss.Tashi (played by Shawn Ku) is a Buddhist monk in Tibet, who has spent three years meditating in a cave on the side of a mountain, trying to obtain enlightenment. At the time when he is […]

Killing Me Softly


Well. this movie was definitely a lot raunchier than I expected! I made the mistake of not reading the rating on the cover and sitting down to watch this with my fifteen year old sister. The opening scene is of course Heather Graham going madly `at it’ with boobies flying all over the place. I […]

Dog Soldiers


Its nice to see that the Brits are bringing out some quality horror flicks. In a genre mainly comprised if American teeny horror films, Dog Soldiers is a nice change of scenery. With the recent release of 28 Days Later, I was keen to see another English horror export. And although this isnt the best […]

The Unsaid


Oh dear.I could tell that I was in for a rough trip after the first 10 minutes of this film. After about 5 minutes in, I was thinking - OK, this could be interesting, happy family, (obviously) troubled teen, drama ensues? After another 5 minutes I realised that this was going to be a chore […]

Final Destination 2


This is a follow up to a mildly successful horror movie that came out a couple of years ago - Final Destination. It’s always nice seeing a production company capitalising on the success of a film. I was cynical before watching this, as I am with most popularity induced sequels. Then I decided that I […]
