THE FOUR FEATHERS (2002)

2002 DIRECTOR: Shekhar Kapur NOT A PART OF OUR COLLECTION May Contain Spoilers! Will we be adding this to our collection?  NO I first saw this sweeping epic adaptation of A.E.W. Mason's 1902 novel of the same name back in 2004, and was expecting something modern and yet classical. What I saw and didn't like much…

THE KRAYS

1990 DIRECTOR: Peter Medak May Contain Spoilers! This brutal portrayal of the infamous Kray twins who operated their gang of organised criminals in the east-end of London during the 50's and 60's, does leave something to be desired. Focusing not on the biographical rise and fall of these two gangsters, but instead looking in to the…

AIRPORT 1975

1974 DIRECTOR: Jack Smight NOT A PART OF OUR COLLECTION May Contain Spoilers! Will we be adding this to our collection? YES Airport '75 was the second in a franchise of four disaster movies which began back in 1969 with the film, Airport. But that original was more soap opera than disaster flick and this…

THE INCREDIBLE HULK

2008 DIRECTOR: Louis Leterrier May Contain Spoilers! Louis Leterrier should be stopped from making films! After this, he would go on to make the medeocre Clash Of The Titans and is probably more famous for his Transporter films, 1 and 2 anyway. But this was one of the first wave of Marvel films which were in the…

TITANIC (aka NAZI TITANIC) 350th REVIEW!

1943 DIRECTORS: Herbert Selpin & Werner Klingler 350th REVIEW! NOT A PART OF OUR COLLECTION May Contain Spoilers! Will we be adding this to our collection? YES Had anybody ever heard of this 1943 version of Titanic? Well, I certainly hadn't until it featured on a recent documentary but here it is, the lost, banned German propaganda film…

MONSTERS

2010 DIRECTOR: Gareth Edwards NOT A PART OF OUR COLLECTION May Contain Spoilers! Will we be adding this to our collection? YES Made on a shoe-string, this $500,000 gorilla styled production has raised the bar of British indie cinema to a whole new level. A couple of weeks ago I sat down and watched G.I.…

TRAINSPOTTING

1996 DIRECTOR: Danny Boyle May Contain Spoilers! The year was 1997, and one the most groundbreaking and controversial films of the 1990's was loaded into my VCR and ready to play. What I was about to watch for the next 89 minutes was one of the most graphic films about heroin addiction that, certainly up…

SURROGATES

2009 DIRECTOR: Jonathan Mostow May Contain Spoilers! Surrogates had received little but poor reviews since its release in 2009 but the concept interested me so I gave it a go anyway. Jonathan Mostow's previous work includes Breakdown, an almost forgotten thriller from 1998 best know for being J.T. Walsh's final film and Terminator 3: Rise…

THIS IS CINERAMA & WINDJAMMER FINALLY ANNOUNCED!

After nearly three years of following the progress of these illusive Cinerama titles, independent distributor, Flicker Ally have set a release date for This Is Cinerama and Windjammer: The Voyage Of The Christian Radich for the 13th September 2012. Both will be presented in the criminally underused Smilebox format, which so far has only been used…

3 DECADES OF KHAAAAAN!

Today may well be the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, or 60- years on the British throne, but to others, June 4th marks a more significant anniversary. On this day, 30 years ago the best of the Star Trek movies, Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan was released. Some people feel that Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home…
