Constantly the target of snide comments by those real film reviewers you might find elsewhere on the Internet, there are times when it seems there is just no saving the genre in the eyes of the general public. Not helping matters is the gradual waterin...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3471I will admit straight away that I am a sucker for apocalyptic, endoftheworld films. Whether it be aliens blasting us to bits or a super virus infecting us all from the inside, it has always intrigued me to see how human beings might react in the most extreme situation of the extinction of mankind. ...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3470I am willing to bet that for a great deal of Australians, their introduction to Steve Carell was his minor (but memorable) role in the 2003 comedy hit Bruce Almighty. Steve’s portrayal of Evan Baxter was a breakthrough role for the actor and while he did not get a great deal of screen time, he was ...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3469The arresting title of this Australian film is quoted only once and in the opening scene, but it is delivered in a manner which succinctly sets up the drama that will follow. A young boy lies awake in bed, listening intently to a whispered conversation in the next room between a man and a woman. We ...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3468With the massive success of the Alien franchise in the 80s and the similar triumph of movies like Basic Instinct in the early 90s, it really was no surprise when in the mid 90s someone tried to blend the two formulas together to see what sort of blockbuster they could create. While the outcome of t...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3467I should be honest and say Keeping Up With The Steins was not quite the movie I was expecting. After seeing the promotional material, I envisaged the majority of this story to be taken up with a continuously escalating (and increasingly ridiculous) game of oneupmanship between two families. And wh...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3466 Michael Clayton is the Academy Award winning film, produced by Sydney Pollack, and directed by Tony Gilroy. Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is a lawyer for a large law firm in New York, and has become the law firms problem solver, who can fix any of their rich and influential clients through co...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3465The vampire flick. You can trace its origins back to the beginning of cinema, and while many things have changed since Nosferatu managed to silently creep out audiences way back in the roaring twenties one constant remains. The genre is frustratingly tricky to get right, and exceptionally easy to ...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3463When midwife Anna Khitrova (Watts) assists at the birth of a baby girl that results in the death of the mother, she tries to find the girls family rather than commit the child to state care. A diary found on the mothers body leads her to a Russian restaurant, its fatherly Russian owner and the enigm...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3464I have some bad news for Disney. The days when you could get away with bringing out a big budget kids movie that only works with kids, is over. Blame Pixar. Those unfeeling hacks brought out film after delightful film that had both the younguns and their parents actually laughing together for a...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3462 Released the same year as High Plains Drifter is this quiet simple film, Breezy, which was the 3rd film directed by Clint Eastwood. Released in 1973, starring William Holden as Frank, a real estate agent whose life is still heavily influenced by his bitter divorce, and seems to live in the supe...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3461We should be honest here right off the bat. The only reason this little Aussie film has had any sort of mainstream interest is because one of its stars also happens to play the lead role in a ridiculously popular fantasy franchise. Daniel Radcliffe is one of the few young actors out there today wh...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3460Doctor Who and the Daleks have become fairly synonymous over the course of the last forty or so years. It is strange to think that by the opening of the seventeenth season in 1979, the Daleks had not been seen on television screens for over four years. During that time, Doctor Who (in the guise of T...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3459Jackie Chan has gone from obscure supporting character in Bruce Lee films, to Chinese megastar, through to pop cultural reference in the West in just a few short decades. Yes, the career of Jackie Chan has gone up and down a fair bit in that time, and equal measures of success in both the East and W...http://www.dvdbits.com/reviews.asp?id=3456I consider myself a pretty average sort of bloke in many ways, but one part of our Y chromosome I have never been able to embrace is our love of cars. While my friends love to talk about their Ford or Holden, I just cannot see what the fuss is all about. My crappy little Cefiro gets me from point ...
