Capitalism: A Love Story (Review)

Oh the irony of a Hollywood film being critical of capitalism. A multi-million dollar production that preaches about the evils of a market economy, condemning the fat-cat perched high on their gold throne, counting profits while the rest of the world plunges into financial decay. Can someone please hand the maker(s) of Capitalism: A Love Story a mirror?

Don’t get me wrong, I wholeheartedly agree that capitalism is not all it’s cracked up to be, and [...]

Michael Jackson’s This Is It (Review)

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll dance in your seat throughout This Is It…as long as you’re a Michael Jackson fan. If you’re like me – neither a lover nor hater of MJ– then you’ll be bored stiff within the hour.  That’s because This is It is little more than what you’d see in the special features of a concert DVD; there’s MJ rehearsing, then there’s MJ rehearses a little bit more, and for the final climactic act, [...]

Into The Shadows (Review)

Australians don’t like seeing Australian films. Sadly, that’s been the general consensus by the critics and public alike for some time, and now figures tell us it’s a fact.

What this documentary shows is how this [...]

The Box (Review)

Following the backlash of Richard Kelly’s sophomore effort — the spectacular disaster that was Southland Tales — one would have thought that the acclaimed Donnie Darko director would play it safe for his next outing. It appeared as though he was doing just that with The Box; a bluntly titled, seemingly straightforward period thriller starring the ever-bankable Cameron Diaz. It doesn’t get much safer than that, right?

Wrong, all wrong. The Box is a logically-impaired, hyperbolic [...]
