The Fate of the Furiosa (2077)

Posted 1:42pm Sunday 23rd April 2017 by Critic

Rating: ???/5 Reviewer: Dog I went into this movie as a longstanding fan of the franchise. I knew beforehand it was going to be a departure from the tone and structure of the previous films and was pretty excited to see where this would take the series. Nowhere good, it turns out.

Life (2017)

Posted 12:39pm Sunday 9th April 2017 by Alex Campbell-Hunt

Rating: 2.5/5 The overall critical response to Life seems to be that it’s an adequate and competently made space-disaster flick, but that it doesn’t give us anything we haven’t seen done better in other films of the genre. Which, yeah, sums it up pretty well I guess. Set aboard Read more...

West of Eden

Posted 1:10pm Sunday 2nd April 2017 by Shaun Brinsdon

Rating: 3.5/5 West of Eden is an independent film set in rural New Zealand in the 1960s. A low budget New Zealand film can sometimes spell disaster, but West of Eden engages the audience through its controversial and unique subject matter.

Loving

Posted 1:07pm Sunday 2nd April 2017 by Maisie Thursfield

Rating: 2/5 Some people are not interesting enough to have a film made about them. Richard and Mildred Loving are perfect examples of those types of people.  Loving follows an interracial couple that marry in 1958 upon discovering that Mildred is pregnant. Wow, the proposal that every Read more...

Gold

Posted 1:16pm Sunday 26th March 2017 by Marlee Partridge

Rating: 3.5/5 The latest flick featuring our shirtless cowboy, Matthew McConaughey, has an almost disturbing difference to the toned Texan we grew accustomed to in Magic Mike. Set during the decline of mineral mining, Gold is loosely based on the true story of the 1993 Bre-X mining scandal, where Read more...
