The Last King of Scotland (2006) Movie Review
The late 1960s through the 1970s were a tumultuous time for central Africa. It was during this span that the European powers gave up and/or lost their colonial possessions on the ‘Dark Continent.’ But what could have been a golden opportunity for progress quickly spiraled into chaos as the ethnic divides cultivated by the Colonial [...]

In 2003, a well-regarded director of independent films spun Oscar gold from a wisp of a storyline — a tone poem about a woman and a man from different generations who make a faltering, elusive connection in an exotic setting. And now, it has been done again. Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you with [...]

“Severance” is the latest from British horror hope Christopher Smith, who had a hit in 2004 with his excellent tube-bound chiller “Creep”. Here, Smith tackles something a little more ambitious, attempting to work in satirical humour and even social commentary amongst the ever rising corpse count. Of course, comedy and horror are not necessarily the [...]

“Wilderness”, Michael Bassett’s follow-up to his World War I horror movie “Death Watch” can best be described as “Lords of the Flies” meets “Friday the 13th”. The film concerns an intrepid band of delinquent teens who, after one of their own commits suicide due to bullying, are sentenced to become one with nature at a [...]

I am not certain about the cultural prevalence of snuff films in countries outside the U.S. , but I am rather certain that, even in this debauched land, snuff remains a seedy underground taboo which rarely, if ever, pokes its horrific organs through a hernia in the mainstream. Sure, [...]

In no way do I wish to encourage film makers, or film goers, to indulge in any more “mockumentaries”. “Spinal Tap” is an inanely brilliant comedy, but beyond that, all the fake interviews where people act serious but say stupid shit and the humor is dryer than the deserts of the Sudan is just too [...]

“Gritty” is a word used far too often to categorise films. It appears that anything vaguely realistic or that plays outside of the regular rom-com or blockbuster format of Hollywood is labelled “gritty”, regardless of importance or quality. To give Menhaj Huda’s “KiDulthood” such a label would be in contradiction to [...]

When I first saw commercials for “The Libertine”, not only the title, but the way Johnny Depp looked made me think of a cheesy metal band that I secretly enjoy called Cradle of Filth, and by the end of the film, the overall likeness between Depp and ghoulish Cradle of Filth lead singer Dani Filth [...]

Parts “Kelly’s Heroes” and parts “Three Kings”, the British World War II movie “The Last Drop” sees a group of men (a “guys on a mission” movie, as Tarantino calls them) dropped behind enemy lines during the historically botched Operation Market Garden. Their mission: steal Dutch national treasures before the Nazis send them all to [...]

“The Tesseract” sees Oxide Pang (”The Eye”) filming for the first time in the English language, and attempting to bring Alex Garland’s enigmatic second novel to the screen. The abject failure of the Hollywood adaptation of Garland’s debut novel, “The Beach” notwithstanding, this is a brave move, as although the book is written in a [...]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: five college students move into an old derelict house and encounters strange going-ons that eventually makes them turn on one another. And oh yeah, a quija board (or a variation of one) comes into play. Plus, the Fair Hair lead is blonde, empathetic, and is haunted by her [...]

You would be forgiven if you thought the only thing Demi Moore was famous for is as that older chick shacking up with that semi-retarded kid in the trucker hat who likes to punk celebrities. After all, she did take a major sabbatical from the acting game for quite some time, leaving behind a thriving [...]
