The Twilight Saga: Eclipse (Her Review)

With the opening image of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, the franchise reveals its own piece of Adelaide; Xavier Samuel’s introduction to Hollywood couldn’t possibly be any bigger. The tasty morsel you can sink your teeth into provides a good introduction to the best film in the series yet – an unexpected surprise that reveals the lack of standard the first two truly set.

The A-Team [2010] (Review)

To most of the Generation Y bracket, Mr. T. is ‘the Snickers guy’. But he actually was an actor, for TV series The A-Team is where he first embraced his uniquely tough-yet-flamboyant persona. Fast forward twenty or so years later and we find ourselves with the latest TV-to-film reboot and UFC fighter Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson filling in his shoes. With a few societal changes and some big action, it maintains a wholesome old-school feel that the young’uns just [...]

Sex and the City 2 (Review)

It’s fair to say the four sassy ladies that make Sex and the City love to please their fans. It’s also fair to say that they love wearing the entire 2009-2010 Christian Louboutin (heel) collection and poofy Chanel skirts.

Robin Hood [2010] (Review)

From Errol Flynn to Kevin Costner and Cary Elwes, we’ve seen the story of Robin Hood in Sherwood Forest portrayed numerous times; a cinema favourite because of its endearing display of human nature – robbing the rich to feed the poor. The wonderful world of Disney gave us a comical and less morally correct animated version, while the recent BBC series had bounds of wit and charm. With that said, Ridley Scott definitely had a lot to live [...]

Love, Lust and Lies (Review)

Gillian Armstrong probably saw the interesting dynamics of UK TV documentary Seven Up! (1964) and its consequential sequels; she herself then chose to journey with three women over 35 years in her own quest to discover and reveal the differences of human life. It’s interesting that as 14-year-olds, the trio we see in Love, Lust and Lies insisted on being honest about their lives, but in the years to come we see that as life changes so do [...]

The Spy Next Door (Review)

You can tell Jackie Chan is starting to get that little bit older. He’s still moving along just fine, but his Hollywood workload of late is turning to kid-friendly films – requiring less of his well known crazy stunts and more of the cheesy acting. Playing it safe isn’t a negative, but the material usually has to be good in order to pull it off. Although teaming up with Billy Ray Cyrus (arguably the most famous dad in [...]
