A guinea pig named Lulu (Kate McKinnon) inherits superpowers ...

Bodies Bodies Bodies Movie Review

Gleaming details from the advertising and trailers that the film is marketed as a horror comedy, you think to yourself I hope these youths start getting picked off and soon. Sticking with it does have its payoff in part two though.   //   From the midpoint on, it’s very funny and its social commentary is as deadly as its body count. The hurricane party becomes less the cause of the mayhem and more the backdrop for human maleficence. By the film’s end, several ...

Ticket To Paradise Movie Review

The story is set in Bali and that beautiful land is utilised to the fullest. The scenery is stunning and the locals and their customs are absolutely endearing.

They race to the islands in hope of preventing the rushed marriage of their recent law ...

She is one tough lady and when the Captain and his crew roll up on her homestead, she provides more resistance than they could have ever imagined.   //   What ensues is a standoff in the grand tradition of Westerns.

Moonage Daydream Movie Review

Morgen (Producer of Cobain: Montage of Heck and The Kid Stays in the Picture) continues with his idiosyncratic take on the documentary genre. The story is mostly told in audio clips from Bowie himself and does its best to lay out his artistic vision.   //   It’s interesting how much of a male view this is and gives short shift to the women in his life that helped him at numerous points in his career. Iman barley gets a mention and 'Angie' Angela Barnett not at all. ...
