Let the Right One In (2008) Movie Review

There are special effects that no Hollywood blockbuster can create, and magic that no money can buy. It is the magic of humanity that no CGI can recreate or substitute – the magic of perfectly cast actors whose alchemy transcends (and renders laughable) the puerile “special effects” of the generic horror products. LET THE RIGHT [...]

Fighter (2007) Movie Review

Aicha loves kung fu, and has been learning at an all-girls club after school for the last three years, until the instructor “introduces” her to a higher level of kung fu after an altercation with a fellow student. (Aicha also has a bit of a temper.) Alas, this higher level involves co-ed kung fu training. [...]

The Final Inquiry (2006) Movie Review

Okay, an admission right up front, this review contains spoilers for the film The Final Inquiry. Here it comes… Ready? Jesus dies. If that doesn’t shock or surprise you then absolutely nothing else about this movie will. It is, very nearly, the most mediocre film, ever. It’s not good, it’s [...]

The Cottage (2008) Movie Review

The British already know that writer-director Paul Andrew Williams is one to watch. His feature film debut, “London to Brighton” (2006), saw him being nominated for a BAFTA, as the Carl Foreman Award for the Most Promising Newcomer. He may have lost out on that one to Andrea Arnold for “Red Road,” but he didn’t [...]

The Backwoods (2006) Movie Review

John Boorman’s “Deliverance” gave birth to a new subgenre of films featuring middle class white men who desire the stoicism of life in the wild and of a more direct conflict for survival outside of the office cubicles and golf courses. It also established the genre’s archetypal characters: the posturing weekend warrior outdoorsman who talks [...]

Morgan Pålsson - World Reporter (2008) Movie Review

Every country has their lovable, bumbling idiot. America has Jerry Lewis (though France would rather claim him), Mexico has Cantinflas, England has Peter Sellers as the unforgettable Inspector Clouseau and so on. The latest to join this august chorus of ineptitude appears to be Swede Anders Jansson who wrote and stars in Morgan [...]

The Baker (2007) Movie Review

Quirky hitman movies are nothing new, and unfortunately the plots themselves are, well, never anything overly original. After all, there are only so many twists you can come up with when the premise must always revolve around a killer who, for one reason or another, begins to question his profession. Some movies manage to find [...]

Princess (2006) Movie Review

Given the enduring popularity of Eastern style anime and manga, Denmark probably isn’t the first country to spring to mind when considering adult themed animation. Step forward then Danish director and comic book creator Anders Morgenthaler, whose “Princess” is easily one of the most challenging, thought provoking and entertaining examples of the form in recent [...]

Taxidermia (2006) Movie Review

“Taxidermia” is Hungarian director Gyorgy Palfi’s follow up to his acclaimed “Hukkle”, and is another film obsessed with the act of eating and consumption, here taken to disgustingly literal extremes. Inspired by the short stories of Lajos Parti Nagy, the film is a non-stop assault on the senses and stomach which has invited comparisons with [...]

The Toybox (2005) Movie Review

Oh unbounded joy, another low-budget British horror DVD presents itself to me for review. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love watching and reviewing movies, and I am a big advocate of British cinema, but if you’ve ever endured films like “The Witches Hammer” then you’ll excuse me for being a little jaded. “The Toybox” [...]
