A BRONX TALE (1993) REVIEW

 I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to but it was a well made coming of age film.

3 out of 5 STARS.

RENAISSANCE (2006) REVIEW

 With a run of the mill story that's been done many times before, animation that is as shoddy as it is ugly and voice acting that is so wooden you'd have thought it came straight from the tree itself. it all adds up to a film that is non essential viewing for sci fi fans.

1.5 out of 5 STARS.

THE VOURDALAK (2023) REVIEW

 This movie would be what would happen if Lars Von Trier and Darren Aronofsky had a baby that was a French vampire film. Without spoiling anything I loved it and would recommend it.

4 out of 5 STARS.

HAPPY GILMORE 2 (2025) REVIEW

 A perfectly passable Happy Gilmore sequel.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

RATKO: THE DICTATOR'S SON (2009) REVIEW

 A garbage, unfunny Borat wannabe. The humor is non existent and the jokes only go for the lowest of low hanging fruit. This film consists of 95% badly written sex "Comedy" and really was just a horrible experience. The fact it has the National Lampoon branding is a disgrace to the once great company. Give this one a miss.

1 out of 5 STARS.

THE ICEMAN (2012) REVIEW

 A great performance from Michael Shannon which is complemented well by the all star cast, give this a go if you're a fan of films such as Black Mass and Goodfellas.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

DRAGONBALL: EVOLUTION (2009) REVIEW

 Dragonball: Evolution is laughably horrid.

1 out of 5 STARS.

THE EQUALIZER 3 (2023) REVIEW

 Most brutal film in the franchise and I enjoyed every second of it.

4 out of 5 STARS.

GIVE 'EM HELL MALONE (2009) REVIEW

  A fun noir film that I thoroughly enjoyed, this film is what I wanted Sin City to be. If there were any negatives it would have to be that the character called Matchstick was essentially a Heath Ledgers Joker impersonation, Other than that there were no complaints from me.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

SUPERMAN (2025) REVIEW

 Yeah it wasn't great, I found myself many times during the film asking myself who,what,where or why? I couldn't for the life of me take Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor seriously at all. There were a few times when I laughed that wasn't supposed to be intentional. Definitely was a strange flick.

2 out of 5 STARS.

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.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

ROBOTS (2005) REVIEW

 A feel good animated film that brings back childhood memories.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

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.

1 out of 5 STARS.

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

 This film is the definition of dumb fun. Loved it.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

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
