When I was a kid the neighbours behind us had three teenage sons, all of whom had bucked teeth. My father, who never missed the opportunity to single out one’s physical characteristics, nicknamed those three lads, “The Bucky Beavers”. I hadn’t thought about that for a long time, not until an email arrived about an […]

We’re already in June and the year so far has been especially demonic as far as the horror genre is concerned, but nothing new has been brought to the table, or pentagram. However, director and screenwriter Joshua John Miller makes a fair effort toward originality with The Exorcism – in which a troubled actor, played

Planet of the Apes is one of the few film series whose integrity hasn’t been diminished by this age of remakes, reboots, and re-imaginings. In fact, the saga continued to prosper thanks to an emphasis on concise storytelling, firmly rooted in the annals of classic science-fiction. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is a

I work in what most would describe as a typical office environment. Fortunately, though, the company’s official colour is a bright shade of green, so there’s some visual stimulant to supplement the lack of windows.

Not including the 2006 remake, 20th Century Fox laid The Omen series to rest in 1991 with the made-for-television feature, Omen IV: The Awakening, and in the year that followed, Whoopie Goldberg re-energized Catholicism with the musical comedy, Sister Act. Over the subsequent decades, studios have merged, nuns are now scary, and a franchise is

I’m not the most enlightened individual when it comes to music. My tastes still linger around a couple of songs I was exposed to as a child; namely Love Shack and Electric Blue. When it comes to music today, I can say with confidence that I’m aware it exists. Available to rent and buy from

During September, I resigned myself to the sad reality of not being able to see Bottoms in theatres, but by a stroke of good fortune, my small-town multiplex, gave the LGBT comedy a brief run with semi-convenient session times for its November 30th Australian release. In a violent scheme to bed some babes before graduation,
