A young boy who is left behind by his mother who in pursuit of her own ambition as a freelance photographer, encounters a little fox after school one day. The two seem to have an interesting chemistry, forged because they are seen as "abandoned" by those who should be rightfully taking care of them. This is one of those heartwarming family animal movies with a message attached to it. Yes, it may be predictable and some might see it as a bit "too sweet" but you can't help but not like the storyline of a boy's love for an animal that's deaf and blind which would otherwise have died sooner had it not been for his care. He becomes a surrogate mother to the fox cub. The pacing of the movie is relatively slow, perhaps deliberately too, but the ending just dragged, unfortunately because you know what's coming a mile off. The acting by the cast is good especially by the young boy. All in all - a movie that the whole family will enjoy despite it being too sentimental at times.

Co-writer/directors Cameron and Colin Cairnes, in their movie debut, successfully deliver all the essential elements needed to both make you laugh and squirm. A story of two unscrupulous brothers and their quest to be the unrivaled top dogs of the local fertiliser industry, a status that they will stop at nothing to achieve because they put dead bodies into their mix. While the plot consists of conventional and somewhat clichéd ideas it uses those elements to their maximum potential. With fine acting from the entire cast, skillful gore effects and proper production values, the movie manages some serious laugh out loud moments while also delivering a few bona fide quirky uncomfortable scenes of horror, all of which are delivered in fun, as it stayed mainly on the black comedy track. If you don't mind gore and have the urge for a hilarious Aussie dark comedy then this is a good movie to check out.

This movie had a good idea as a storyline: a techno nerd who has a talking computer which helps him out via a wrist-pad is whisked away into another dimension by a wizard of some sorts called Mystema who has captured his girlfriend. He has to tackle 7 challenges before he can rescue his girl. Apparently this movie is based on the once-popular Dungeons & Dragons game although you wouldn't realise from watching it. Unfortunately what looks good on paper doesn't come out that well on the screen thanks to the awful script and crappy special effects. Then again this is normal for a Charles Band production! The only challenge I liked was the rip-off from Jason & The Argonauts in which a stone statue comes to life and the hero has to destroy him. The whole movie is a bit of a mess if I'm being honest. I'm sure in the hands of a better company and decent producer this movie would have been OK I'm sure. A waste of potential.

Unintentionally funny Mexican horror about a doctor transplanting a heart of a gorilla into the body of his son so that he can be cured of cancer. Unfortunately the side effects of this make the son turn into a human ape which goes on a rampage. It's a joy just to see how inept this movie is. The bare plot is served up as an excuse to have lots of graphic murders be committed, where the victims are mainly women who are always unlucky enough to get their tops ripped off while being attacked. The gore is blatantly fake, with bright red paint splashing about, although the makers certainly don't shy away from the violence, preferring to show heads being torn off in full glory. The biggest laugh comes where somebody has their eye poked out and a load of stuffing comes out along with it! This movie is only good enough for those who want to see how bad it is!

A beautiful young woman Miki Noriko who works for a company specialising in 'Snow White' soap is brutally stabbed to death and then her corpse is burnt in a forest. The fingers all point to a female colleague Miki Shirono who has gone into hiding after another colleague tells her suspicions to a journalist friend. But is Shirono guilty of the crime or is somebody else behind it? This is a gripping crime mystery with a riveting, intelligent storyline which provides a commentary on bullying, peer pressure and online social media harassment. The way the story unfolds is really well put together. It's easy to see at first who the killer might be but gradually over the course of the movie the viewer is left unsure who the perpetrator might be. Many people have compared this movie with the classic Rashomon in that we are presented with 3 different versions of what took place but which one is the truth? It's very interesting to watch which one of the characters we have been introduced to is lying and who isn't. This is a powerful and dramatic movie which leaves you guessing right till the very end. It has a great cast led by Mao Inoue and Nanao. Definitely a movie that I recommend.

Probably one of the most dire British comedies I've ever had the misfortune of watching. I imagine this shit signalled the death of the sex comedies that was prevalent in the country during the early 70's. Makes the Confession movies look like Oscar winning material!! It is really terrible with a leading man Brendan Price who makes Robin Askwith look like a great actor and that's saying something! Darren Nesbit who wrote and produced this movie obviously didn't know what comedy was. It's also a shame to see people like Diana Dors, Roy Kinnear and Bill Fraser getting associated with this pile of cack. I'm sure they regretted participating in it afterwards. The only positive thing I can say about this movie is the end. It has nothing to recommend so steer well clear.

This is a great British comedy movie made at the start of the swinging sixties. The story about the Loch Ness Monster is pure nonsense but the movie never takes itself seriously at all and it is similar to a rather toned down very early Carry On movie, relatively gentle. There are some early appearances by later British comedy greats such as Clive Dunn (of Dad's Army), Wilfred Brambell (Steptoe & Son), Spike Milligan, Terry Scott etc. The main cast led by singer Adam Faith and Sid James make it worth watching.

I was expecting this to be a bit useless if I'm being honest but it turned out to be not bad at all. The movie works by putting two curses simultaneously. Sadako has slightly more portion as the Cursed Video is highlighted more, especially in the beginning. As one curse progresses the Kayako or Haunted Hause is slowly tossed into the mix. And then during the climax the two demons battle it out for their victims. I think this movie works better than previous Grudge / Ring movies because it's got a good director behind it. Kōji Shiraishi was behind creepy movies such as Noroi: The Curse and Carved. Overall the wild concept behind the story worked well because it's something that seemed like it would never have been made. Sadako vs. Kayako is truly unique, daring, but above all -- entertaining. It is not just horror, it is a genre-twisting movie. It is a movie that is expected to fail, but triumphs instead. Well worth watching.

With a title like Shaolin Challenges Ninja... how could this movie not be amazing? With excellently choreographed fight scenes, a decent storyline, and a great assortment of fighting styles and weaponry, this movie is amazing. And there's not that much more to say. Watch this movie if you're a fan of classic Shaw Brother's martial arts mayhem. The only disappointment would come in how easily the hero defeats each villain. But his reasons for non-violence fit the storyline and thus, can't be avoided. A classic martial arts movie.

For the record I've never played Assassin's Creed but even if I did I still would have voted this one of the worst movies of 2016. It's the most boring depressing, badly scripted, and ill-advised "origin" story possibly in the history of film. What a waste of an all star cast to act in this piece of shit. It continues the run of shoddily produced videogame movie adaptations made by Hollywood. Surely they would have learned by now that they can't do these kind of movies. They've tried and failed so why bother giving it another crack. I can't think of anything good to really say about this movie apart from some of the action sequences. Perhaps those who have played the game might like it but as for myself it was the biggest waste of time watching this pile of cack. It was THAT horrible.
