Dust Off the Wings (1997)

Dust off the S--t!

[2/10 · 25 June 2022]

Terrible movie and shocking acting. Probably set the Australian film industry back 20 years. An example of when sub-par film students getting older without developing any skills.

6 Underground (2019)

F--King BAD

[2/10 · 7 September 2021]

I finished Green lantern and R. I. P. D but couldn't get through more than 40 minutes of this garbage fire at an abortion clinic of a "film". It seems like excessive cocaine use is once again prolific with the decision makers in Hollywood.

Jolt (2021)

Kate Beckinsale or 1991 Joan Rivers Cosplay?

[5/10 · 12 August 2021]

This is the movie Crank but with a female lead and Unfortunately Kate Beckinsale has forgone her natural appeal to sell out and buy a new face that will probably melt next to a candle. This flop has a highly predictable plot and an even worse premise. If you wanna watch Kate be a great protagonist, go back and watch the underworld films.

Gallowwalkers (2012)

Just NO!

[2/10 · 13 March 2021]

Poorly written, directed, produced, cast, edited, and everything thing else. This movie is terrible. If it didn't feature Wesley Snipes I would never have wasted my time watching this theatrical hemaroid of a film. Spoiler* this movie is bad

The Head Hunter (2018)

Pretty good for the money

[7/10 · 12 March 2021]

A movie that's been well made for an obviously minimal budget. It was well shot and lit but the budget restrictions meant there were possible improvements that were missed. Still an enjoyable film.

The Cabin with Bert Kreischer (2020)

A bit of a disappointment

[3/10 · 31 October 2020]

I'm a big fan of Berts' comedy and podcasts but this show is a pretty big let down. From the fake set ups and over the top acting, I found it hard to enjoy. There are some funny moments that made me laugh but that seemed to be the exception and not the rule.

Little Monsters (2019)

A pretty good laugh

[8/10 · 21 October 2020]

An enjoyable, Aussie take on the Zombie genre. Well cast and made.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)

Surprisingly enjoyable

[8/10 · 12 September 2020]

I started watching this with a bit of cynicism but I was pleasantly surprised. My wife and I genuinely enjoyed it. Worth watching.

Plus One (I) (2019)

Ok

[6/10 · 11 September 2020]

Not a bad movie, just pretty predictable. You do get a few laughs in there though. I've definitely seen worse rom-coms.

The King (I) (2019)

Enjoyable

[7/10 · 22 August 2020]

Enjoyed this movie but just felt like the editing could've been a bit more refined and made it better. Still a pretty enjoyable film.

The Shannara Chronicles (2016–2017)

The spoiler is that the second season is kinda s--t!

[5/10 · 21 August 2020]

The first season is pretty good and follows the Terry Brooks storyline in an around about kind of way. The acting is fairly good and it has good production values with exception to some of the cgi. Unfortunately season two is like an OK concept made by a lower bidder. The script is lacking and is trying to fit too much book into a season, the acting is on par with a 70's soap opera and the visual effects a basic at best by 2020 standards. Note:- Eye-liner does NOT make decent television.

Mortal Engines (2018)

Effects over script

[5/10 · 21 August 2020]

Visually, pretty good but the script and plot holes needs a lot of work. I gave it an extra star for the historical reference of London (Britain) being a resources hungry monolith that consumes everything to further its its own purpose with no regard for local/native peoples.

Spenser Confidential (2020)

How bored are you?

[4/10 · 3 July 2020]

Highly predictable, Dull acting, lacklustre script and no originality. Watching those pimple popping videos would be more entertaining.

Occupation (2018)

Imagine thinking you have really big balls but you find out it's actually testicular cancer.

[1/10 · 8 November 2019]

This movie looked so promising with a good cast, budget and strong social media promotion but the actual film itself was horrible. The storyline was a rip off of so many other films (red dawn, battlefield earth, tomorrow when the war began etc) but just done poorly. I will admit that they saved the worst part for last when the group attack the "enemy" position and one peanut is armed with an Aussie flag. This film should only be watched as a cautionary tale of what clichés need to be avoided when making movies. It will make you want to punch your TV.
