The main issue with The Art of Rap is that you will only find this movie interesting if you are any sort of rap fan in the first place. Even then, your interest will depend on how much of a … Continue reading Something from Nothing: The Art of Rap (2012) Review
Blackfish is a scary movie. Not in the traditional sense, where a demonic force continues to harass or torment or a serial killer chases attractive woman around large houses, but in a way that is much more jarring. Blackfish is scary … Continue reading Blackfish (2013) Review
I’m Still Here feels like an elaborate prank gone wrong. It’s a prank that nobody was really involved in, that nobody found funny and just sort of blew up in the faces of those involved. Those involved were Joaquin Phoenix and … Continue reading I’m Still Here (2010) Review
“Based on a True Story” or “Inspired by Real Events” usually means a movie has taken huge liberties with the facts and truth surrounding an event a film has been inspired by. I can think of a few examples where … Continue reading The Imposter (2012) Review
Upon watching Catfish, I discovered it wasn’t a movie with a creepy, dark tone, at least not in a horror way, but instead the story of a man and his online relationship. It was the story of Nev and a … Continue reading Why you should be watching Catfish: The TV Show
The issue with a documentary about a well-known individual or series is that there is sure to be people watching that want to know more about specific aspects that may not be covered or even referenced. This becomes even more of … Continue reading Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007 (2012) Review
Rise of the Planet of the Apes was my favourite film of last year. It had a great story, fantastic action and launched a series that I’m looking forward to seeing the development of. At around the same time, a film that followed similar themes was being released. A film that followed the life of a chimp that lived with a human family, was treated as a human (to some extent) and then went on to a chimp sanctuary where his life may not have been as good as when he was at home. You could argue, with some accuracy, that … Continue reading Project Nim (2011) Review
You have to be either brave or stupid to play out your past relationships on-screen, for everyone to see, especially if all of them “failed.” You also have to be quite self-involved and egotistical. Its one thing to decide that you are going to analyse yourself in an attempt to make yourself happier or a better person, but to then decide that other people would want to watch the experience and share it with you is another thing entirely. Of course, my argument there fails because I was intrigued. I did want to watch and was interested about the idea … Continue reading A Complete History of My Sexual Failures (2008) Review
I’ve got to make one thing clear before I actually review this film. This blog is supposed to be about my views on films, not religion and people’s beliefs. You’ve got to be careful when you make comments on anything to do with religion because it means so much to so many people. It isn’t my place to convince people that their religion is the wrong religion or to tell people that what they believe is foolish. I try to avoid arguments with people about their religion because I am quite ignorant to what a lot of religions are actually about and what their faith … Continue reading Religulous (2008) Review
I love a good documentary! One of the best documentaries I saw last year was Banksy’s “Exit through the Gift Shop.” I think for me to enjoy the documentary I have to be intrigued by the subject. Seems obvious but it has to have a sense of wonder or “wow” about it or I’ll begin to get bored by the whole thing. This is why Exit through the Gift shop was so good because it sucked you in with the intriguing character at the center of the whole film. Man on Wire does exactly the same! The synopsis is simple; it’s … Continue reading Man on Wire (2008) Review
