Let’s be honest, you were sceptical when news came out that Robert Downey Junior was going to play Sherlock Holmes, weren't you?

REVIEW: Daybreakers

12:21pm Tuesday 2nd February 2010

I find it difficult to talk about the vampire horror genre. It has now been done so much that it has surpassed ‘done-too-much’, vaulted over ‘done-to-death’ and now rests within the realm of merely ‘done’.

REVIEW: Sherlock Holmes

REVIEW: Paranormal Activity

11:23am Monday 7th December 2009

Paranormal Activity is an impressive film. Perhaps a misguided way to begin my review, as the film itself and its narrative are nothing new; but for a film that cost $15,000 to produce to earn $100,000,000 and counting worldwide is something to be respected.
