Film Review: Turbo (2013)
byThere’s definitely something amusing about watching a snail line up to compete in the Indy 500. Unfortunately that one ridiculous premise alone is not…

Film Review: Riddick (2013)
byReprising his role in Riddick, the third instalment of the franchise, is Vin Diesel, who looks like he hasn’t aged since the first film came out over a decade ago. Like the previous film, The Chronicles of Riddick, Riddick was written and directed David Twohy, and it continues where it left off.
Film Review: Jobs (2013)
byAshton Kutcher is a revelation in the titular role, his performance is subtle and nuanced, a major divide from the usual, manic performances he delivers. He has the awkward, stilted, hunched swagger down to a fine art.
Film Review: The Rocket (2013)
byTo the trained eye, however, this is not your average foreign film. As refreshing as it is to watch a story seen through the eyes of a Lao child, one can’t help but sense the script was not written by a local.
Film Review: The Earth Wins (2013)
byImagine watching some of most breathtaking scenes on earth – a flock of flamingoes flying over a lake; sub-Saharan African tribes performing a traditional dance ceremony; American skyscrapers reflecting light off one another. Now imagine somebody taking that footage, and editing it on Windows Movie Maker.
Film Review: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013)

Film Review: The World is Funny (2012)
byOne of the most notable elements of the film, is its aside from the well-told political tension of the region; opting in favour to sway away from politics and instead pull focus on the every day and social interactions of Israel and its people. The World is Funny is not only a terrific Israeli film, but also a universal and intrinsically humanistic one.
Film Review: The Bling Ring (2013)
byEver sympathetic to historical baddies and outcasts, Coppola uses the opportunity to shine a light back on us, and the sick obsessive behaviours of western civilisation.
Film Review: The World’s End (2013)
byIt has been more than 10 years since Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright teamed up to make Shaun Of The Dead, thus beginning the aptly named “Cornetto Trilogy”, and finally, the trilogy comes to a close with The World’s End.
Film Review: Last Days Here (2011)
bySex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. That’s the motto most musicians lived (and I use the term ‘lived’ lightly) by in the 70s and…
