Cashback

Posted: February 18, 2008 at 12:36 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

Sean Ellis’ latest is a feature length version of an Oscar nominated short film of the same name and sadly, I imagine it worked far better in the short subject format. This whole film seems dragged out and stretched like butter over too much bread if I can quote Bilbo Baggins. There is some genuinely […]

Sydney White

This predictable teeny bopper aimed spin on Snow White has its moments if you are a dork and supplies some decent laughs from time to time if you know what you are getting into.The film is entirely predictable and nothing will really surprise you here, but if you are sitting down to watch this you […]

National Treasure: Book of Secrets

Posted: February 11, 2008 at 2:48 pm   /   Local, Movie Reviews

The follow up to the entertaining box-office hit plays to the dim-witted and oblivious to create a laughable film that some how remains watchable and entertaining to an extent.Checking your mind at the door is a stupid way to appraise a film, but in this case it might be worth it because the film plays […]

The film follows Duck, a war camera man that won awards and gained recognition working with Simon Hunt who was the top field journalist of his time. After an on screen meltdown […]
