Storm Warning (2007) Movie Review
You decide to take the little lady for a little boating excursion off the coast of Australia, when some storm clouds roll in, forcing you to take shelter on a nearby island. Problem is, that island is as far from civilization as it can possibly get, and the only signs of life is a house [...]

The latest project from Nanoflix Productions is a full-length feature film that uses the AG Engine, the latest in a computerized animation process, widely called Machinima, to bring to life what has been hailed as a film-noir-esque, science fiction. This “future-noir” mystery, set on, and in, a lonely asteroid in deep space, weaves a [...]

I consider movies like the Australian World War II film “Kokoda” a gem. The treat of such a movie lies in the opportunity to experience the war, of which I am unendingly fascinated with, from a perspective I had never seen before. Having been weaned on Hollywood’s American-centric fare, it’s easy to [...]

“Australia . What fresh hell is this?” So ponders the grizzled Captain Morris Stanley (Ray Winstone, “Sexy Beast”), a British Colonial Marshall, as he casts his gaze over the uncompromising and barren wasteland we now know as the Australian Outback. After a nasty gunfight, Stanley has managed to capture two members of the infamous Burns [...]

“Feed” marks somewhat of a change in direction for Brett Leonard, whose last outing was the ridiculous comic book adaptation “Man-Thing”. Although the director has dealt with the perils of technology before in the likes of “Virtuosity” and “The Lawnmower Man”, here he takes a far more grounded and less fantastic approach, aiming for shocks [...]

I can safely say that “Skrypt” is the only Austrian film I’ve ever reviewed, seen or known to have existed. And, from what I can tell, the Austrian film market isn’t exactly booming. However, being from Scotland myself, criticising another country’s film industry is literally the equivalent of throwing stones [...]

With strong advance word from mainstream critics (including a nomination for the Grand Jury Prize at the Cannes film festival) as well as the usual genre sources, Australia’s “Wolf Creek” is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly anticipated and hyped horror events of the year. Thankfully, this is one of the rare occasions when a [...]

As the scope of special effects technology widens, there really isn’t much that a person can imagine that can’t be replicated on screen. This freedom of expression has had both positive and negative effects on modern movies. On the positive side, there’s more eye candy and it’s far more convincing. Conversely, the ease with which [...]

I’ve never been particularly impressed with people who sail around the world on a boat, in a hot air balloon, or fly a plane, by themselves in an effort to set some record. The notion of such “greatness” escapes me, probably because I was raised in an environment that didn’t allow for such gratuitous endeavors. [...]

Is it possible to make a movie with only 6 main characters, and yet imbue all 6 with the most irritating, irrational, and annoying personality traits ever? Why yes! “Undead”, the new zombie picture from Australia, has a cast that not only tries your patience, but makes you wish they would all just hurry up [...]
