Absolutely fantastic movie. Great on so many levels. Most definitely a movie to recommend. Feel good, funny and a little bit romantic.

Couple of funny moments that left me laughing. But in general movie prescribes to 'aussies really are a weird lot' type of stereotyping of characters. Could have been funnier. But just tried too hard.

Seen the 1st one. Well you have seen the 2nd. Don't bother otherwise. Cheap rip off of Species.

Creepy and weird. Most definitely a movie if you like to feel just a little uneasy about babies. Is very much the case of 'whats coming next?' in this movie.

Entertaining and funny. Loved the two main guys in it. Was quite funny their playing off each other. Although I really need to ask. Are all CIA agents extremely wealthy and attractive? You never do see any poor ugly ones.

Not bad. Okay to watch. If you want see good DC cartoon episodes check out Justice League Unlimited or Batman Beyond. Much better.

Not even sure what this movie was about. Was it about the game? Was it a prequel? Who knows. Semi bad special effects and really bad dialogue.

Interesting look into the life of J Edgar Hoover. Good if you like that type of thing.

The Lost Future. More like the lost 90 mins of my life. Preview looks interesting, But is pretty boring in general.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
Emjoyable. Funny. Interesting. But a little depressing in its tone somewhat. There was just something unlikable at the heart of this movie. I really liked it. The story was great and the characters good. But something about it made me itch emotionally.

Was good. But not the magnificent masterpiece it is made out to be. I think the whole Shakespeare thing is for select few. The modernising of the story is what gives it a star and the acting another. Otherwise I bit of a yawnfest at times.

Great vampire movie. Kind of Lost Boys meets Sex in the City meets The Hunger.

DC Comics really know how to do animated movies. They tend to pick some of the more interesting stories from comics and transform them into mini works of animated art. This one was great. The question of is Superman's ideals of truth, justice and the American way relevant for the modern age. The Elite answer that question.

Liked this movie. Loved the story betwen Fassbender and Knightley. However the movie did drag a bit at times. Which really let it down a bit.

These guys are awesome. First episode was the best perhaps of season 3. The modelling had me falling out of my seat. If you have seen season 1 and 2 or the movie. No need to explain anything about these lads.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
LOL they made a 3rd movie? The first one was bad enough. Enjoyable fantasy romp in the world of Dungeons and Dragons. Loved how the cast were an evil party, not a good party.

Found this movie in the vein of the Michael Mann classic, The Keep. Had some pretty creepy and weird places. Wasn't a bad b-grade horror flick.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Didn't mind this movie. The landscapes were quite bleak and foreboding. The wolves quite vicious and nasty. Most of the movie was quite believable, but other bits made you think. But.....? All in all a good movie. Expect some longer drawn out scenes, more then fast paced action. Not sure I would call it a psychological thriller. More Action/Horror.

The Asylum like Uwe Boll really do specialise in z-grade movies. This one did not disappoint in craptastic entertainment. Only get it this movie if you want to have a laugh at crappy stupid special effects and storyline. I will admit I did fast forward quite a bit of the movie. Don't really think I missed alot. Ah Asylum movies...where b-grade actors go to be z-grade.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
Really not what I expected. But a bit of fun otherwise. Over the top heroes and villains. One for when you want to just watch something a bit fun and silly.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Waterworld meets The Librarian. Okay at times. Bit silly the rest.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
A strangely depressing movie. The two main actors need a enlightenment. There are so morose. However. I did enjoy it. Had a few great moments. Specially loved the bits with Paw Paw. Could watch him all day.

Okay. Think you need to be a fan of HALO to watch though.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
Hmmm disturbing. Gross. Out there. Weird. At times. Why???? No need to review. If you want to watch it you will. Such a strange movie.

Have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Expected typical Jack Black. Got something a little bit different. But essentially still Jack Black being the goody rockdude.

A fine portrayal of a virus spreading through the world and how it occurs. Appeared to done quite realistically.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Quirky, funny and not so funny at times. The preview makes it out to be a really happy go lucky fun movie. More a dramady then comedy. But still enjoyable.

Crap. Simple. Want end of the world ice age. See Day After Tomorrow.

A bit slow at first. But otherwise I fantastic movie. Very original and good end of the world tale. Really liked it. However would say. Probably not one for some people.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristian
Didn't enjoy as much as I thought. Amy Adams the best part of it. Not bad....but not the best.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
For a leave-your-brain-at-the-door sequel. Not a bad watch. Good B (C?) grade sci fi.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Such a good movie. Was a little slow for the first 10 - 20 mins. But then an enjoyable ride. Luc Besson rarely goes wrong. This is one of his good ones.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Not even sure how this one made it on to my queue. Haven't even seen 1 and 2. Typical crap from the director Uwe Bolle. Actress playing Bloodrayne best part of it.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
Not a bad twist on the zombie/vampire genre. Kept me watching without making me feel like a zombie. Good black humour.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Story was a little crap. But artistically and visually. Quite good. Only reason it gets 3 stars really. If you aren't a fan of Tarsem Singh. Probably not for you. One of his weaker movies.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Bit slow and meandering. Not the best 'found footage' movies I have seen.
(Maybe) - review by Kristian
A strange little movie. Really enjoyed it. Some great characters and relationships. Loved the ending.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Fantastic movie. Quirky, funny and a great mix of everything else you want in a indie rom-com. Loved it all the way to the end.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristian
Should be renamed 'Movie With Guys Doing Freerunning and the Rest Is Just Twaddle'. Okay for the freerunning. But little....sorry nothing else.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
What a load of tripe. Ronan Atkinson can be so funny. THIS is not one of those times. Only one funny moment really. The rest was just a groanfest as they tried so hard to be funny.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
Cheap nasty kill thrills. Final Destination franchise never fail to entertain. Not a bad idea as a sequel/prequel. Lots of 'argh' wince moments.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Was expecting from reviews a pretty boring movie. Was interesting and not so boring. A little slow at times. But not a bad watch altogether
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
I remembered this alot more exciting when I last saw it. Was okay and watchable. Was amusing seeing alot of the actors of today back then in their youth.
(Maybe) - review by Kristian
Not as boring as I expected it to be. Was interesting to see how advertising works in movies.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Of the two movies that have come out recently. I loved this one alot more. The characters were more interesting. It seemed a little more believable, even though a rom-com, with the two of them interacting. Only downside was Justin Timberlake's overacting at times.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristian
Enjoyed this movie quite a bit. Loved the kid. Can't see why there was anything wrong with him. He was adorable. Is funny if she was such a great friend. Why didn't she see her best friend in her little boy?
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Most definitely for the kids. Got it as a bit of childhood remembrance. Seemed alot more exciting back then.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
As Red Dwarf goes. This was good to see a return of all the characters. Interesting concept and weird in a Red Dwarf kind of way.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Would have been nice to know this was just a re-working of the Moby Dick story. Had a few scenes that were bordering on okay. Rest is a snorefest.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
Although it had a depressive tone to the movie I really enjoyed this movie. The scenes between father and son/son and girlfriend really blended well. Was melancholy, but the again it is about a guy who's father has just died so that was to be expected. Loved the dog. Was so cute.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Really loved this movie. Had some pretty funny moments. The baby changing scene first up in the movie had me in stitches.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Didn't realise the movie was in spanish. Somehow missed that. Otherwise was an okay movie. A little slow, but interesting idea about immigrant workers.

Quirky and kind of funny. Kat Dennings is just gorgeous.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Wasn't sure what I was going to make of this. Loved the look of the sets and costumes. It gave the feel of looking at a kind of weird puppet show. Story was a bit weak, but enough to keep you interested.

Enjoyable and funny. The bosses were hilarious. Worth seeing for a bit of a laugh.

Kind of interesting. But not as watchable as I thought. Bit slow. Great concept though.

Didn't expect much from this. And I got nothing. What a load of manure!
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
After watching this I think I wasted 1hr 20 mins of my life I will never get back. The characters seem flat and hard to connect with. The only refreshing thing (and why it got one star) is the Beaver itself. The movie isn't even depressing. It is just like a bowl of gruel. Boring and bland.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
Having watched the Rare Export adverts on YouTube (go watch them for an idea of the movie). I was looking forward to watching this. And I wasn't disappointed. Great use of 'Santa' forklore. Only warning is that it is subtitled for most of the movie.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Rating it three stars as I found the movie engrossing, kind of like a car wreck you can't look away from. And have to say one twist in particular kind of took me by surprise. Seeing the actress who plays the woman in real life. Whoa serious transformation there from beauty to the beast. Great makeup guys.
However. This movie is not for the sensitive I would say. The father (and then son) is just...ugh beyond words horrid.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
SO boring and not even funny. Love both the comedy actors, but this is just a dog.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
Enjoyed it more then I expected I would. Never heard of the story but apparently it is an all american favourite. A good sunday arvo with the family movie.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Pretty predictable storyline with a happy happy joy joy ending. Kind of misses the 'moral' of the story that being beautiful isn't the be all, end all. Okay watching.

Great Liam Neeson suspense movie. Edge of seat action.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Saw this originally on SBS. Such a strange, but interesting movie. The segment about the competition eating the best. Weird and strange. Thats all I have to say.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Good movie. Took me back to my early years watching ET. Just wish JJ Abrams would get rid of the camera flares. Know it is his thing, but seriously.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
The so-called worst movie of all time. LOL wasn't too bad..... but then again wasn't too great. Not a bad movie for harmless silliness.

Ugh...expected more of this. On the boring side a little.

Great movie, one of the best I have gotten from Quickflix in a while. Really enjoyed the movie. Was a bit slow at times. But otherwise kept pace well. Definitely recommend the movie.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristian
Loved the first movie. But this one seemed to lack that same feel. Maybe it is just Jack Black. Playing the same character regardless of the movie is a bit tedious. Didn't find the bad guy that interesting. Overall though not a bad movie. Definitely one kids will enjoy immensely.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Better then I thought, alot better actually. Story not the strongest part, but watchable either way. If you want something not so gory and more towards a bit of parasitic gross out. This is definitely the one to watch.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Really enjoyed this little treasure. Prompted me to actually go buy the actual seasons 1 and 2. Really made me think at how the world will just reclaim itself once we are all gone. Loved the fate of cats and where it saw them going as time passing. If interested in the two seasons on offer, is a great intro.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristian
A truly beautiful movie. The costumes, the scenery, and then acting. All fantastic. Shakespeare is not everyone's cup of tea. But this was just fantastic. Loved Caliban.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Pretty damn funny. So many scenes that made me laugh. Although was a bit over Owen Wilson's character by end of movie. After three movies the character is just the same ole, same ole. Special Feature with all the Focker's was pretty funny.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
I enjoyed the movie. BUT it was not what I was expecting. Found this movie was over-sold in the humour stakes. If anything was a bit under-whelmed by it. However. It was pretty enjoyable and had some pretty funny moments.

The usual Nic Cage movie. Something you can watch, enjoy and then forget about until next time. Really like this movie. Especially the scene in the cage with the Telsa Coils.

Such a great movie. I loved it so much I watched it last night, and then watched if again the next day. Was just such a great movie about normal middle aged people. Am still laughing about the scene with the webcam. I think my neighbours down the street heard me laughing at that.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristian
I enjoyed the movie alot. Kind of spoke to me alot about the society we live in. But at the same time. It had moments of coldness. But I think that was the point.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Loved it. Not knowing what to expect after the last film. I like the new direction of making a heist style flick, rather then just fast cars. Vin Diesel and The Rock. Yeah very cool.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristian
Great movie for Halloween. Love the little sack headed kid. Wasn't what I expected. The interwoven stories were quite good.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Not as cool as the previous three movies. Was good to see Vin Diesel back after the last movie. Overall worth seeing if you like fast cars and action.
(Excellent) - review by Kristian
Kind of okay. Kind of slunk along at an okay pace. Not impressed too much though.

Fantastic movie. Has all you would want as either a kid or adult. From beginning to end a classic.
(Not to be missed!) - review by Kristian
Without sounding like a joke (which is what this movie is)...this movie is a dog. The Howling franchise 'updated' for the Twilight crowd. If you want to see the Howling. Get the original. Total crap.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
So bad it is good fair. If you want some silly laughs, overacting and are a fan of these OTT monster movies. Go for it.

Just didn't get into this as I expected. Was a bit all over the place. Most definitely a kids movie.

So SO much better then I expected. Dismissed this at cinema as it looked silly. But after watching I really enjoyed the movie. A simple concept, but great storytelling.

Was what I expected. Has prompted me to check out more After Dark movies. Enjoyed it alot more then expected.

LOL loved this. Having seen many thriller/horror movies about backwater hill billys terrorising teens. This was a great way of saying 'hey they are people too!'. Many laughs as the teens blunder their way to death.

Seemed interesting and worth the three hours watch.

Okay zombie movie. Seemed a bit of a rip off of the early Resident Evil movies. LOL super athletic zombies.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
A totally WTF movie. Most definitely a movie that came from left field. The second story in particular. Was very much the case of what the hell is going to come next.
(Maybe) - review by Kristian
Such an intense movie. Everything about it is intense. The acting, the locations, the soundtrack. A very heavy movie. Not a lot of gore. Just the implied violence and sound of deeds being done. Scary in the fact that these killers were real and could be your neighbour or the guy you strike up a conversation with at the pub or a shop. Even though it made me feel very drained from the two intense hours. The movie was well made and great acting.

No actually Mars Needs A More Interesting Movie. When are directors gonna stop making these really creepy motion capture animation movies. The 'photo real' animation style is just plain unnerving. In general had to keep rewinding movie as I kept dropping off. Not sure if really a attention grabber for kids.

Pretty entertaining. Actually didn't expect to enjoy it as I was bombarded on a few websites when it was released at cinemas. But all in all a good movie that kept me watching.

Didn't know what to expect here. But it turned out to be a interesting movie. For what is essentially the same scene over and over I really enjoyed the movie. Kind of Groundhog Day meets Deja Vu.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Nic Cage in a car, driving angry. Hell is on his tail. Not much else to say really. Lots of gore and violence. Lots of bad acting. And one truly hot chick in Amber Heard. Pretty enjoyable in that Nic Cage mindless action movie way.

Loving the adventure genre and being a roleplay gamer. This movie was a game put into action. Pretty crass and over the top. But had plenty of laughs over crass jokes. The trailer thankfully saved some of the better jokes for the movie.

A random find that turned out entertaining in a mindless action movie way. Movie description pretty much tells it as it is. 30 assassins get together and fight to the last one. Enjoyed it as did my friends who were over.

Being a adult convert to Star Trek, I loved the doco. Makes me remember why I love the show and sometimes cringe at the rabid fans. LOL the woman who wore the costume to the jury REALLY needs to get a life. It is a show....not real life. A must watch (as well as the original Trekkies) if you want to see the real life Big Bang Theory nerds.

For an adaption of a computer game. Pretty good. Well paced and liked the different anime styles.

Interesting with the amalgamation of a few werewolf folklore stories. But overall predictable. Obviously a werewolf movie for the Twilight generation.

A strange little movie. Strange but okay.
(Worth watching) - review by Kristian
Not what I expected. The wikipedia story synopsis is more scary. The only probably creepy bit is in the special features with the feature about 'real life' possession on tape and the warning that listening to the voices may 'open you to demonic forces'. Otherwise not worth it really.
(Don't bother!) - review by Kristian
Like a rainy winter day. This movie is most definitely gloomy and heavy. From early on you find out what the whole reason for these kids existence. Being an english movie, it doesn't go for the traditional Hollywood ending. Thought provoking and interesting.

Enjoyable movie if you are a fan of Will Farrell. Very much a quirky and wha-the-heck movie. Very offbeat and crazy.
