THE TOXIC AVENGER (1984) REVIEW

 A pure master-class in 80s schlock! Buckets of gore, the hammiest of acting and a story that is completely over the top, what more do you want? You need to see this flick at least once!

4 out of 5 STARS.

KUNG FU PANDA (2008) REVIEW

 Another really fun film from my childhood that still holds up today.

ROBOTS (2005) REVIEW

 A feel good animated film that brings back childhood memories.

PLANKTON: THE MOVIE (2025) REVIEW

 I mean it was fine but I wouldn't write home about it either.

2.5 out of 5 STARS.

DADDY DAUGHTER TRIP (2022) REVIEW

 This film is pure low budget unfunny crap. The acting is non existent and the story line is terrible. Also am I the only one who was grossed out by Rob Schneider's psychical appearance in this film? he looked absolutely disgusting, maybe it was a mix of old age and bad lighting but boy did he look foul, I don't know why this film exists but we would of been better off if it didn't.

BE MY CAT: A FILM FOR ANNE (2015) REVIEW

 Critics have sung this films praises from the rooftops, and I don't see the hype. It is an incoherent film that is in no way entertaining. I had high expectations and was majorly disappointed.

1.5 out of 5 STARS.

UTU (1983) REVIEW

 New Zealand's equivalent to Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven. This NZ western is an unflinching film that draws you in. For an film made in 1983 it has aged very well and holds up in 2025. Well worth a watch.

4 out of 5 STARS.

KARATE KID: LEGENDS (2025) REVIEW

 

A run of the mill yet enjoyable film.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

PADRE PIO (2022) REVIEW

 Loved Shia LaBeoufs very Shia LaBeouf portrayal of the title character but I can't help but feel like the character is forced to take a back seat to the unrelated election storyline which is a real shame. This film is definitely Oscar bait but definitely not as terrible as people are making it out to be. The closing few minutes were also an awesome visual. Overall Padre Pio consists of an interesting topic but is uneven in execution.

2.5 out of 5 STARS.

28 YEARS LATER (2025) REVIEW

 A story driven coming of age film with zombies.

4 out of 5 STARS.

A HAUNTED HOUSE 2 (2014) REVIEW

THEY SHOT THE PIANO PLAYER (2023) REVIEW

A thoroughly interesting true story turned into an animated film

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

BATMAN NINJA VS YAKUZA LEAGUE (2025) REVIEW

 I watched the first 20 minutes and had to turn it off, I just can't do it to myself.

0.5 out of 5 STARS.

SMOKIN' ACES (2007) REVIEW

 An over the top, action packed and blood soaked thrill ride with one of the craziest all star casts I think I've ever seen.

4 out of 5 STARS.

ACCEPTED (2006) REVIEW

 Your typical early 2000's comedy, I found Justin Long to be really annoying but a young Jonah Hill made me chuckle a few times.

3 out of 5 STARS.

THE POUGHKEEPSIE TAPES (2007) REVIEW

 Really ended up enjoying this film, loved the documentary/found footage style it went with, if you're a horror fan give this a watch at least once.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

NETHERBEAST INCORPORATED (2007) REVIEW

 Not that funny but it is quirky and entertaining nonetheless.

3 out of 5 STARS.

YOGA HOSERS (2016) REVIEW

 I can't defend this one, Kevin Smith is one of my favorite directors but oh boy is this movie laughably bad. One of if not his worst film to date.

1.5 out of 5 STARS.

DARK DAYS (2000) REVIEW

 A documentary about how some of those less fortunate live and a lesson in making something out of nothing.

4 out of 5 STARS.

JINDABYNE (2006) REVIEW

 A bleek film, I feel like the main characters wife selfishly makes the events that happened to her husband all about her. The films just ends with no resolution or great pay off and that makes the film as a whole experience very disappointing. If someone asked me to recommend them a great Australian film, this would not be it.

1.5 out of 5 STARS.

DOG SOLDIERS (2002) REVIEW

 A blood soaked fun time
