I’m almost ashamed to admit this, but I had never seen The Godfather films before a week ago. When I started doing this blog, I looked at my collection and tried to think about where the gaps were, and I realised that no self-respecting movie collection could be considered complete without including this epic tale of the Corleone Mafia family.

I have never really like Russell Crowe that much. I can definitely appreciate him as an actor, but I do find him a bit overrated. For those people who are outraged and writing me off as a crazy Roosters fan who just hates everything to do with Souths owner Crowe, you are wrong. Continue reading

This is an interesting concept that explores the reality of what it would be like if every horny teenage boys fantasy came true. It struggles to be much more than a generic teen comedy. The original concept helps elevate it above some teen romps, but at the end of the day, The Girl Next Door has to resort to raunchy humour to get laughs. Continue reading

This is such a strange film. It looks like someone has taken what was meant to be a gangster drama and tried to turn it into a romantic comedy. The end result is just a big mess. Continue reading

This film became a lot more interesting to me when I looked up its Wikipedia page and discovered this is apparently based on a true story, written by Billy Bob Thornton, about his mother who believed she had psychic powers. Can you get more redneck than that? Continue reading

The cast is brilliant and all in their prime. Anything I say about this film will not be able to truly tell you how amazing this film is, but I will try. Continue reading

I watched Get Over It on a plane once and was sufficiently entertained that I decided to purchase the film so I could own it forevermore. This was back when airlines had to edit their films to be PG so I was curious what the M rated version of this movie would look like. Continue reading

I really struggle to love this film. I never watched the classic Don Adams television show that this movie is based on, so there is no nostalgia for me to enjoy. This just feels like Michael Scott playing a secret agent. Which even as I type this, sounds awesome. It is just ok. Continue reading

I remember liking this film a lot more than I did when I watched it for the blog. I have always been a huge fan of Zach Braff from his days as JD on Scrubs, and I have shown my appreciation for Natalie Portman multiple times in my past reviews, but Garden State doesn’t really grab me anymore.
