Warner Bros’ Yogi Bear DVD release. ****-

Cert U | 77 mins | 2011

Eric Brevig has made better films than this, such as Lost Boys and Men in Black; but saying that this is true to the feel of the Hanna Barbera cartoon as one of the special features points out.
The setting is Jellystone park as usual (if you have never seen the original cartoon.).
The only place on the planet where there are…more

Season of the Witch DVD and Blu-ray Release Review ****-

Cert 15 | 95 mins | 2011

Season of the Witch is a highly entertaining, action packed film, well worthy of a 4 star rating. It is the latest offering from director Dominic Sena, who brought us Swordfish and Gone on Sixty Seconds. Although this is a very different type of feature (a period supernatural thriller), it does carry the trademark excitement and suspense that we have…more

From The Ashes DVD Release Review *****

92 mins | 2011

From the Ashes is a quite magnificent documentary film, as the name suggests about cricket, and in particular the very memorable 1981 Ashes Series. Whether you were there and remember watching it the first time around, or whether you are like me and come to this for the first time, if you are a fan of cricket then this is…more

Psalm 21 DVD Release Review *----

Cert 18 | 114 mins | 2011

Psalm 21 is, I think it’s fair to say, one of the least horrifying horror films I have seen for quite some time. I have decided to give it one star for the purposes of this review, because of the very well executed special effects (otherwise we may be looking at only a half).
Psalm 21 is a Swedish film, subtitled…more

Henry’s Crime DVD Release Review ***--

Cert 15 | 108 mins | 2011

Henry’s Crime looks and sounds as if it is going to be a really good film, but in actual fact I was rather disappointed when I finally got to watch it. I would give this film 3 stars, as it has it’s good points, but they are offset by plenty of negatives.
The premise of the story is good, a man…more

Praise DVD Release Review ****-

Cert 18 | 98 mins | 2011

What a delightfully bizarre film this is. Praise is definitely worthy of it’s title and I have given it 4 stars. This is an Australian production, directed by John Curran (Stone, The Painted Veil) this was his directorial début, and is very intelligently put together.
The subject material upon which this film is based seems at first glance unlikely to be…more

Blue Valentine DVD and Blue-Ray Release Review **---

Cert 15 | 111 mins | 2011

There was very little that I found entertaining about this film, which is why I have only given it 2 stars. Although the film is critically acclaimed, being shown at both Sundance and Cannes in 2010, there doesn’t really seem to be anything here for people who simply want to sit down and enjoy a good film.
The film is well…more
