As a serial killer terrorizes the town where they’re on vacation, three curious lads start snooping on a neighbor in their apartment complex and soon think they’ve discovered the identity of the murderer.

Off the Map
[1 clip]
Martin Henderson
**this review is written based on the pilot episode**
There is nothing better than a fresh start, which drives a bunch of doctors into South America to provide health care in a free clinic. And the word fresh indeed conjures images of oranges bathing in the sun in somewhere tropical, and into [...]

I saw this film in March this year when I was in Austin, Texas. It was playing at the SXSW Film Festival and I went along cause I was a bit homesick for Australia and wanted to see an Ausie film. I’m so glad I did! This film was so much fun. [...]

Perfect Couples
[1 clip]
Kyle Bornheimer
The pilot for Perfect Couples was OK. It felt staged and the parts that could have been funny often weren’t. Conceptually, I could see the humor but it wasn’t coming through. But, I saw the potential in this show. The concept behind each couple is interesting and funny, so I gave it [...]

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena
[1 clip]
Dustin Clare
I have been waiting for the return of Spartacus: Blood and Sand for quite some time now. Unfortunately, Andy’s cancer delayed this for a long time, so Starz gave us Gods of the Arena in stead.
All I can say is well done! We are introduced into the same society [...]

The Loved Ones
[4 clips]
Victoria Thaine
I wouldn’t have thought, that I could watch one more torture horror movie and be entertained by it. “The Loved Ones”, however, may be the last movie of that subgenre to actually be worthwhile. Really worthwhile, that is.
Much like “Wolf Creek”, another Australian horror movie that took an ancient old premise [...]

The Picture of Dorian Gray
Josh Duhamel
As I see it, one important element is missing from David Rosenbaum’s lavish production of the Oscar Wilde morality story and that is Oscar Wilde himself. His words are all here, the witticisms and wry comments on social manners that shocked Victorian England, but they rarely punch through the wooden [...]

Separation City

Rhona Mitra
At last a New Zealand film about real people in real situations. This film is written by Tom Scott a political journalist and one of New Zealand’s best loved satirical cartoonists. His own real life experiences are evident throughout the film as the characters move from one hilarious situation to another. Set [...]

Vampires Suck
[2 clips]
Charlie Weber
Matt Lanter
In fifty years’ time, when our grandchildren revisit the classics of cinema, there is no doubt in my mind that “Vampires Suck” will feature on many a list.
Despite what seem to be extremely unfair ratings from users on IMDb, I submit that this is not a poor film by any stretch [...]
