Tough film to watch but you get drawn into a world your wrost nightmare are made of.

Wedding Daze
Was'nt expecting much but to my surpirse this was a enjoyable comedy and a refreshing one at that.
Thats because it not out to be vile and gross out just a comedy at it's best.All performaces are first class,Jason biggs was really good and brought that charm he had when he was in the american pie movies.Isla Fisher again is someone to look out for.She is very sexy but also a good at comedy.It's the parents and the friends in the movie that took the movie only and made the movie above par then some of the turkey i've seen lately.

An American Crime (2007,  R)
An American Crime
This a moving and well made film which tell the story about the torture of a young 16 year old in 1966. This a actully based on a true story which make it more unbelieveable. The story as been turned into another film recently called "the girl next door" which some of the story had been changed. I would recommand watching both as they are both excellant films,hard to watch in some places but moving or the some.

Out of the Blue (Aramoana) (2007,  Unrated)
Out of the Blue (Aramoana)
One of the only movies to totally upset me.Based on the true story set in New Zealand about a lone gunman thats go's berserk killing 13 men,women and children in a rurul town in 1990.To make it unsettling is that it plays like a documantry and that the performances are so real that it makes you feel that your there.This is certanly no hollywood movie.There's no heros and no one man army to save the day just a real story with real people and a place in history that your won't forget easy after watching this movie.One stand out performance is from Karl Urban who prove more of a actor here than any of the hollywood movies he as been in lately.
49
Rescue Dawn (2007,  PG-13)
Rescue Dawn
This is a cracking true story with some really good performances from Bale and even better Zahn.The story telling is done really well and the use of locations are so beauiful that its helps with the running of the story.Details are top notch and with a budget of 10 million this as a big budget feel to it.
I can not recommaned this more highly and wish i saw this gem alot sooner.

Perkins' 14 (2009,  Unrated)
Perkins' 14
Great little low budget horror.Some decent acting and camera work with some brutal killing to add.Its not all orignal does lean towards 28 weeks later terrorory.But over all a very solid horror with a great unexpected ending to boot.
