5 Year Retrospective: Watchmen

Watchmen was released five years ago this month and it still stands as one of the best, and most underrated, comic book films.

Film Review: Stoker

Stoker is a creepy and sexy coming of age film at it’s heart, and for it’s star Mia Wasikowska, while Park Chan-wook proves he can excel in any language.

For Your Renting Pleasure

That’s right, my write-up for rentals has changed yet again. This time around (and hopefully I will stick to it this time) I will write up little blurbs about the movies I have seen in the past week on Fridays, giving you suggestions for what to pick up and what to avoid when considering what […]
