The Boys Are Back
The latest film from director Scott Hicks is probably his best since Shine, which was also filmed in South Australia, and netted Geoffry Rush an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. The Boys are Back takes place in South Australia where sports journalist Joe Warr is dealing with the loss of his […]
Couples Retreat
Peter Billingsly’s feature debut with screenwriting stars and duo Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau have created a relationship comedy that has a number of interesting points on couples, but really lacks a lot of good humor and drags at a miserable pace for the last forty five minutes or so.

However, this one was slightly different. Pandorum is loosely […]
