Dark Water is another contemporary Japanese horror classic that blends scares with drama. Hideo Nakata must have a fascination with girls and dirty water. He took the world by storm with 'Ring' which involved a creepy girl in a well, and now this.... Read the full review »

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor utilises a new location for the undead, it's just unfortunate there is no life to this film. I have to give credit for the idea of using ancient China as the backdrop, the Egyptian mythology was quickly growin... Read the full review »

An insightful and deliberately frustrating movie, not the best of the Coen’s but an interesting one to contemplate. Read the full review »

3:10 To Yuma succumbs to the slow pace of classic westerns but its conclusion is satisfyingly gripping. A remake of the 1957 classic heist western with a modern visualisation that allows a new generation to enjoy the thrills. Y'all know westerns a... Read the full review »

Don Jon tackles a taboo subject and utilises it to create a witty subtle comedy. This is Joseph Gordon-Levitt's baby. Directed, written, produced and starring the man himself. Technically he shows flair and promise, but the film itself lacks quite... Read the full review »

Coco is a heartwarming tale that hosts an array of memorable characters on a beautiful Mexican canvas. Pixar rarely put a foot wrong, but lately their animations have become slightly uninspired (I'm looking at you 'Cars' franchise). Fortunately th... Read the full review »

**500TH FILMFED REVIEW** Bridge to Terabithia has the essence of a children's fantasy with a hint of adult drama. This was not the film I thought it was going to be. Looking at the cover, I see plenty of fairies and a luscious kingdom as a backdro... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: On the one hand, 'The Death of Stalin,' is easily the funniest film of the year, as it's genuinely laugh-a-minute stuff that combines smart political satire and slapstick humour with brilliant confidence and ease. The script and each... Read the full review »

WHAT I LIKED: 'Coco,' is quite frankly the most delightful and simple instant-classic that we've had from Pixar since 'Finding Nemo,' as it brings its happy, child-friendly appeal seamlessly into another brilliantly innovative and truly timeless s... Read the full review »

Writer/director Liu Jian’s first film since 2010, 'Have a Nice Day (2018) (Hao ji le)', is a hard film to quantify. On one hand, it’s a meditative piece exploring corruption and greed. On the other, it's a violent non sequitur whose narrative... Read the full review »

'Have a Nice Day' Review
An odd, animated film, Liu Jian’s 'Have a Nice Day' is a mixture of meditative imagery, thoughtful dialogue, and creative characters resulting in an unique cinematic experience when a driver who decides to rob the money courier sets off a series... Read the full blog post »

A little dodgy in parts (the more pulpy aspects), but it finds clever ways to ratchet the tension all the way to the end. The best parts are watching Jackie Chan - in increasingly clever (even simple) ways - target, approach, and disable those who... Read the full review »

The Commuter is 'Non-Stop' but on a train. That sentence alone, is how everyone will describe this film. Why? Well, because it is. It's the exact same formula (with the additions of a few twists) that descends into a messy and coincidental plot. Y... Read the full review »

I was not at all prepared for how lovely The Shape of Water is. Part romance, part monster film, part love letter to the golden age of cinema. My heart is full. Read the full review »

As much an indictment of the current conflict between those governing and those doing reporting as it is a retelling of the past. A country without a free, unrestrained press cannot be free. A significant reminder presented by a talented director... Read the full review »

Writer/director Marin McDonagh is no stranger to tackling difficult or challenging material. His first feature, "In Bruges", centered on a hitman having an existential crisis, while his second, "Seven Psychopaths", focused on a screenwriter sucked... Read the full review »
