GAMER (2009) REVIEW


 If you're looking for a film to turn your brain off too for an hour and a half than this overtop action film is for you

3 out of 5 STARS.

SEASON OF THE WITCH (2011) REVIEW


 Your typical late 2000s early 2010s fantasy horror flick with all of the poorly aged CGI to boot.

3 out of 5 STARS.

FARGO (1996) REVIEW


 I mean it was very entertaining but I don't quite see how this is the masterpiece everyone thinks it is. It is an enjoyable yet in my opinion overhyped film. Worth watching at least once. It just didn't quite click with me.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

DAYBREAKERS (2009) REVIEW


 An odd dystopian vampire film with some 50/50 special effects. Half the time they're great and the other half are cheese. The opening title sequence is one of the cheapest things I've seen this year. Overall it's an ok film if you want to waste some time on a rainy day.

2.5 out of 5 STARS.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (2025) REVIEW


 A slow burn that took me a little while to get into but once I did it had me hooked. DiCaprio and Del Toro have great chemistry and I hope they do more films together in the future.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

DRAGON WARS (2007) REVIEW


 I was a kid when this first came out and I remembered thinking it was the most epic film ever. I rewatched it recently an adult and oh boy I wish I hadn't, I should have just left it at what my childhood self saw. The best way I can describe this film is mortal combat annihilation meets power rangers. Just cheesy acting and dodgy effects with a bad script too boot.

2 out of 5 STARS.

HEREDITARY (2018) REVIEW


 If anything Ari Aster knows how to make truly unique films.

3 out of 5 STARS.

SHOOT 'EM UP (2007) REVIEW


 An over the top action film with more than enough blood, guts and violence to satisfy. I'll never look at carrots the same way again.

4 out of 5 STARS.

KICK-ASS 2 (2013) REVIEW


 Your standard action comedy superhero fair, not as good as the first one and I didn't even think the first film was that great.

2.5 out of 5 STARS.

THE GREEN MILE (1999) REVIEW


 An emotional film that packs a punch.

4 out of 5 STARS.

COMIC BOOK: THE MOVIE (2004) REVIEW


 A fun film full of dry humor, cameos and references that will satisfy even the biggest nerd.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

FRIDAY THE 13TH, PART 2 (1981) REVIEW


 The introduction of horror icon Jason Vorhees, this film is pure 80's slasher cheese.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

COACH CARTER (2005) REVIEW


 I hate sports films but enjoyed this way more than I thought I would. Samuel L Jacksons performance is a real highlight , this film is worth watching at least once.

3.5 out of 5 STARS.

SUMMER OF SAM (1999) REVIEW


 I went into this one thinking I was going to really enjoy it but instead I found the film to be completely underwhelming. The best way I can describe this film for those that haven't seen it is that it's 2 and a half hours of watching someone scream at a dog while Sid the sloth cheats on his wife repeatedly.

2 out of 5 STARS.

DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (1997) REVIEW


 Has some of Keanu Reeves best acting and Al Pacino is over the top as always, other than that I couldn't really get into this one as much as I should have.

2.5 out of 5 STARS.

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (2014) REVIEW


 If Borat and Dracula had a baby the end result would be this film.

3.5 out if 5 STARS.

M.O.M. (MOTHER OF MONSTERS) (2020) REVIEW


 An original found footage film that I really enjoyed, based on a topic that feels all too real.

4 out of 5 STARS.

SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET (2007) REVIEW


 Although I did enjoy the film for its story and gore, I can't rate this film any higher than a three because I can't stand musicals. One of Tim Burton's more divisive films.

3 out of 5 STARS.

LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL (1994) REVIEW


 This film was amazing, it really captured Leon's human side and that ending brought a tear to my eye. Definitely worth the watch.

4.5 out of 5 STARS.

NOBODY 2 (2025) REVIEW

  A fun continuation and an improvement on the first film 4 out of 5 STARS.
