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 ...

Salt of the Earth will have its world premiere at the Adelaide Film Festival!

While Chicken Salt is now a ubiquitous household item, back in the early 1970’s when Peter and his wife Helen moved to the small rural town of Gawler, this wasn’t the case. Peter ran a wholesale business and hot chicken and chips shop out of the local theatre, the Ozone. To try and make his hot chicken skin even tastier, he created a special salt. Soon enough, his shop front customers were putting it on everything – chips, pies, fish, chico rolls and dim sums. More importantly, the ...

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

Terror On The Prairie Movie Review

Left out on the vacant plains with only her young son and newborn daughter is Hattie McAllister played by Gina Carano (of Deadpool fame). 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. The Captain and his men were on the losing side of the American Civil War and lost family and friends to the marauding ...

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. ...
