Ghostbuster 2
A fairly well debated theme in the film world is “Is Ghostbusters 2 as good as the first one?”. To be honest probably not, but that doesn’t necessarily make it a bad film. Join us as we discuss the secret ingredient that seems to be missing. 32 mins

Ghostbusters
I don’t think I know anyone who hasn’t seen this movie. Why are we reviewing it then? Because I wanted an excuse to watch it again. A movie that both of us hold very close; Ghostbusters is a blend of perfect comic timing, a fantastic story, and an amazing cast all at the peak of…

Predator
In one of his most iconic roles Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Dutch the leader of a Special Forces team who are tasked with rescuing some hostages from a jungle. Things spiral out of control quickly as they become game for a terrifying alien hunter. A fantastic movie with some classic cinema moments and lines; but is…

What we do in the Shadows
We’re back! Due to a scheduling mix up/Andrew’s apparent inability to understand what genre movies are in, we’ve actually ended up doing our second consecutive vampire-based comedy. This time, it’s the New Zealand mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows, a shaggy, sketchy sort of film that nevertheless had us rolling in our chairs with…

He Never Died
Henry Rollins is not the worlds greatest actor but when you require someone to be an emotionless vampire who always looks kind of annoyed, he’s your guy. This was a surprisingly funny, enjoyable and well made movie and we would recommend it to most people. 40mins

The Voices
This week’s subject is a movie neither of us could make heads nor tails of. Marjane Satrapi’s “The Voices” has a killer premise and boasts a virtuosic performance from Ryan Reynolds as a man whose pets command him to kill – which makes it all the more unfortunate that it seems to be so tonally…

Troll Hunter

Troll Hunter is a rare gem. It uses the shaky-cam effect to further the films atmosphere; detract you from the less…

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
On this week’s episode, we take a look at one of the all-time great remakes. The 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers does justice to, and arguably improves upon, the original Don Siegel classic, featuring stellar performances from a top notch cast and some of the creepiest ever sound design. 39 mins

The Mist
A fairly good horror film with a few minor let downs but overall fantastic. The film is full of little shout-outs to Stephen King and some great terror and fear throughout. 42 mins INTRO AND OUTRO “Pop Goes the Weasel” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ “Dance of Deception” Kevin…

John Dies At The End
Andrew and I are fair fans of zany and mind bending films but this may have been a bit much for both of us. A very peculiar movie with strong influences from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I think with a larger budget and a bit more work on the script this movies would…
