Blair Witch: Film Review

Blair Witch: Film Review Cast: James Allen McCune, Callie Hernandez, Corbin Reid, Wes Robinson, Valorie Curry Director: Adam Wingard 17 years ago, a little film called The Blair Witch Project redefined the found footage horror genre and set the world alight in 1999. A sequel, Book of Shadows did little to build on what the film offered in the first place (except to expand out some ideals of the first) - and now 20 years after the first film's found footage was shot, a bait and switch threequel from directing wunderkind Adam Wingard ( You're Next, The Guest ) was unveiled at San Diego Comic Con. Previously masquerading under the title The Woods, Blair Witch once again heads back into the woods of Burkittsville and into the world of urban legend. This time, it's due to James (Allen McCune) whose sister Heather Donahue went missing first time around. When footage purportedly of Heather shows up on YouTube, James contacts the poster and asks to meet. This leads to 4 friends

As It Is In Heaven 2: Film Review

As It Is In Heaven 2: Film Review Cast: Frida Hallgren Director: Kay Pollak 10 years ago, a Swedish film found itself in the unique position of resonating with audiences. In New Zealand alone, the film spent 52 weeks in the box office charts thanks to both its feelgood factor and its word of mouth as the story of a conductor after both a second chance at life and love scored critical acclaim. A decade on and a sequel to As It Is In Heaven has shown and with it, a collective feeling of what next for the story which felt resolved and unworthy of further exploration. In that time, a lot has changed and quite possibly, some of the assumed character familiarity has faded. Needless to say Michael Nyqvist's conductor Daniel Dareus is no longer with us, having given up the ghost after his path to redemption was completed in the first film. But the wild child student Lena from his choir who he slept with is about to give birth as the action picks up nine months later. Ostracised by some for

The Killing Joke: DVD Review

The Killing Joke: DVD Review Rating: M Released by Roadshow Home Ent "First off all, before the horror began, there was a time when capes and fighting crimes was really exciting." So begins the 26th  animated DC Universe film , an adaptation of one of the most praised iconic storylines in the series - the origins of the Joker, from a  1988 graphic novel by Alan Moore and Brian Bolland. However,  Batman: The Killing Joke  is predominantly the story of Barbara Gordon's Batgirl (narrated brilliantly by Tara Strong) and her relationship with Batman. The film starts out with more of a background to Batgirl, her abusive relationship with the Bat (he's emotionally cold and distant from her) and her quest to take down a criminal from the Mob who's obsessed with her. But then,  Batman: The Killing Joke  segues into the original graphic novel and what you'd expect from the film - lifting panels from the page and transposing the iconic imagery created by  2000AD supremo

The Magnificent Seven: Film Review

The Magnificent Seven: Film Review Cast: Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Martin Sensmeier, Byung-hun Lee, Peter Sarsgaard Director: Antoine Fuqua Rote and without a hint of much of his own style, The Magnificent Seven somehow manages to feel like a weaker carbon copy than a redo of the 1960s classic. This time around, Denzel Washington leads the pack as Sam Chisholm, a newly sworn warrant officer. Riding into town with nary a comment but with every head turning as a black man heads down their street, Chisholm is asked by widowed Emma Cullen (a largely underused but pleasingly effective Haley Bennett) to avenge her husband's death and free their mining town from the tyrannical grip of Bartholomew Bogue (Sarsgaard). Gathering up a motley crew of multi-racial misfits (one of the more revisionist edges that Fuqua gifts the reboot), Chisholm and his man saddle up for a fight. The Magnificent Seven is nothing in comparison to the
