HARRY BROWN Review: an old man's revenge

When I heard everyone's favorite butler was going to star in a revenge flick I wasn't immediately interested. Not that Harry Brown seemed like a bad film, just not a very interesting one. Good reviews and critiques kept pouring in... More >>

NO-DO (aka The Haunting/The Beckoning) Review

Frightfest 2010: OUTCAST review

Colm McCarthy's Outcast is a low-budget British genre production that manages to be visually attractive, relatively naturalistic and features some wonderfully deft plotting which, while relatively predictable, still carries a refreshing level of moral ambiguity. It treats its fantasy... More >>

When you think 'end of the world' film, it's probably some special effects-filled multiplex extravaganza that pops into your head, no doubt with a certain guy named Roland involved somewhere along the way. Or maybe a pre-drunken ranting Mel... More >>
