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: The East (2013)
byA thought provoking film that may make you want to save the world, but will certainly make you aware of the danger around us and the harm we do to our own environment.
Film Review: I’m So Excited (2013)
byThe richness of the colour onscreen separates the world Almodovar presents from reality, isolating the characters in their own dimension, and its use is very reminiscent of films of the French New Wave, particularly Jacques Demi’s Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) and Jean-Luc Godard’s A Woman Is A Woman (1961).
TV Recap: Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, 2×2
byEpisode two of our delightful Miss Fisher (Essie Davis) began with a spooky séance which lead into that boppy intro music that had Betty the cat and I toe tapping in our lounge room.
Film Review: Mood Indigo (2013)
byThis new release seems more concerned with the story of the two lovers, rather than the punch-dunk feeling of being in love. Without a doubt, Mood Indigo is one of Gondry’s best offerings to date, especially if you can get your hands on its original draft.
Film Review: R.I.P.D (2013)
byR.I.P.D desperately strains to get laughs where it can and they only really come from Roy and Nick’s avatars, a Victoria’s Secret model and a short, elderly Chinese man respectively. But even then, the joke is milked way too much and by the end the audience is so unbelievably sick of it.
Film Review: Blue Jasmine (2013)
byAlong with Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters, Match Point and a few along the way, the director’s latest offering, Blue Jasmine deservedly joins the shortlist.
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: White House Down (2013)
byWhite House Down lacks the unexpected moments of graphic violence and humourous quips found in the Die Hard-inspired Olympus Has Fallen, and is a fairly forgettable addition to both Emmerich’s filmography and the action genre more broadly.
