DVD Review - Imagine That

Imagine That isn't completely unwatchable - in fact you could be forgiven for flicking over to it by accident on cable and sticking through to the very end - but at the end of the day it is simply too slow, too unsure of it's audience and just too bland.

DVD Review - The Circuit : Series 2

The Circuit is a landmark SBS Australian drama series that focuses on indigenous issues but in a way that attracts mainstream audiences. It is an entertaining series which is surprisingly addictive and yet educational at the same time.

DVD Review - Orphan

Anyone who attended the same Grade 5 Sleep-Over party as me back in the mid-90s will notice a good majority of Orphan is eerily similar to the much forgotten 1992 horror flick Mikey.

DVD Review - The Taking Of Pelham 123

In the original the crooks dealt with Walter Mattheau's rumpled subway cop; here Travolta deals with a regular-guy subway supervisor (Denzel Washington), who's lack of negotiating skills is meant to ramp up the tension.

DVD Review - Fame

Unlike remakes that set out to redefine the classics for a new audience - ones that actually reshape and modernise the oldies and make them relevant for the next generation - Fame begs the question "why remake a movie if you have nothing new to add to it?".

DVD Review - Beautiful Kate

Sure, the painfully embarrassing Australian cliche's come thick and fast (there are long dusty roads, drunk aboriginals, kangaroos) but ultimately Beautiful Kate reels you in like a fish that's unaware that it's even been hooked.

DVD Review - G-Force

G Force does have its moments, but unless you really, really love guinea pigs – and while these guys are cute “lovable” doesn’t really seem to fit - an action movie with humans actually doing the stunts might better suit your needs.

DVD Review - Funny People | Interview : Judd Apatow

Being an Apatow film, it doesn't start off as a lecture on adult responsibilities: it starts off with would-be stand up comic Ira (Seth Rogen) trying to get his career going.

DVD Review - Aliens In The Attic

While not perfect, there are some great performances & some genuine laughs throughout Aliens In The Attic - but most importantly - there is a real sense of imaginative adventure.

DVD Review - Year One

Year One isn't a terrible film, not by a long shot, but it is a deceptively enjoyable one simply because what is on screen is such an excitingly rare, improvisational, cameo-based beast.

DVD Review - B-Girl

B-Girl is the latest movie to fit this description. The film follows a very talented break-dancer by the name of Angel (Julie Ulrich, AKA "Lady Jules"), who has made a name for herself in Brooklyn.

Blu Ray Review - North By Northwest

North by Northwest is regarded by many as one of Alfred Hitchcock’s "Top 5 Movies Of All Time". Coupled with the attraction of watching Cary Grant at his very best, makes this film a joy to watch.

DVD Review - The Wizards Of Waverly Palace : The Movie

The formula is a good one: Kid wishes for their life to be different. Poof! Life is different. Kid realises things were better off as they were. Poof! Life goes back to normal.
