Assault On Precinct 13 (1976) Review

Legendary writer, composer and director John Carpenter’s sophomore feature Assault On Precinct 13 might show its age stylistically, but narratively it more than holds up….for the most part. Some of it is very much of its time, but when that time is the 1970s, that’s hardly a bad thing at all.

Passengers Review

Earth of the future has become overcrowded. For the lucky few, the passengers of the title, there is an alternative: Homestead II, a newly inhabited, lusciously spacious planet. Which is where Jim (Chris Pratt) and Aurora (Jennifer Lawrence) are headed, hurtling through space in hibernation on a 120 year journey aboard the Avalon.

Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure (2011) Review

Poor old Beethoven. He deserved more than this. In the early nineties the character was a star. After two successful films back to back in 1992 and 1993, he had the world at his paws. Now look at him, a direct to DVD regular, eight entries into a franchise that would be better off being put out to pasture.
