Body of Lies aired on Go Channel in Australia on Sunday 12th June. I must have missed the promotion for this film when it was released and it must have been released here, as two of Australia‘s favourite sons in the acting game were featured, Russell Crowe and Vince Colisomo. But I must admit that [...]

The final episode of series three of Being Human The Wolf-Shaped Bullet, could not have been more explosive. Herrick had killed McNair, the Werewolf who intended to kill him, at the end of the previous show and Mitchell had been arrested for the Box Tunnel murders. Herrick then killed Detective Nancy Reid, played by the [...]

Being Human – Series 3 Episode 3 Just a quick update on last weeks episode of Being Human, Type 4. After having new Werewolves show up in episode 1 and a new Vampire in episode 2 what could we have in episode 3 but a new Ghost? Well not quite. This Ghost had a body, [...]

In this case ‘stars’ is kind of the wrong word,  although they play the central characters of the story, they probably have less than a quarter of the running time on [...]

Cancer claims the life of great British actor I was sorry to read about the passing of Pete Postlethwaite. This great British actor was the star of many British and American films, as well as heaps of British TV shows. He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in the movie of In [...]

Dreamcatcher was released in cinemas in 2003 and was aired on Australian TV in the very early hours of Sunday morning. And to be honest this was where it belonged. Dreamcatcher has to be one of the strangest films I have ever seen. The film is based on a Stephen King novel and stars some [...]
