DVD Review: 'Bait'
29 April 2013 2:05 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★☆☆☆☆ It was perhaps foolish to think that Bait (2012) might recall the raw menace of Stephen Spielberg's Jaws (1975) or Joe Dante's B-movie classic Piranha (1978). But Kimble Rendall's toothless horror is nothing of anything really: an underwater travesty which takes itself far too seriously and comes nowhere close to making the slightest contribution to the genre. Rendall has presumably lured the cast from 90210 to star in his film as a group of air-headed teens and shoppers, from Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga) to Julian McMahon, find themselves trapped inside a supermarket following a devastating tsunami.
While the clean-up on aisle five gets underway, the hapless Ozzies soon realise they aren't alone - a great white shark isn't satisfied with the reduced-to-clear items and is on the prowl for some flesh. If the team behind the Scary Movie franchise made a Jaws spoof, this is what it would look like. »

Fire With Fire Movie Review
22 April 2013 4:34 AM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Title: Fire With Fire Director: David Barrett Starring: Josh Duhamel, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Vincent D’Onofrio, 50 Cent, Julian McMahon, Vinnie Jones. ‘Fire with Fire,’ besides being the first single taken from American pop band Scissor Sisters’ third album, ‘Night Work,’ marks David Barrett’s attempt to switch from directing Television series to movies. The story is very banal and boring: a fireman takes an unexpected course of action when a man whom he’s been ordered to testify against, after being held up at a local convenience store, threatens him. Many stars feature in the dull action revenge flick, Bruce Willis, Josh Duhamel, Rosario Dawson, Vincent D’Onofrio and Julian McMahon. 50 Cent’s [ Read More ]

Rebellion (15)
(Mathieu Kassovitz, 2011, Fra) Mathieu Kassovitz, Iabe Lapacas, Malik Zidi. 135 mins
Working with a real-life 1980s incident in New Caledonia (not dissimilar to a French Falklands), Kassovitz crafts a thoughtful thriller with no heroes, only good intentions compromised by colonialist mistrust and distant politics. His negotiator is set between a hair-triggered French military and separatist rebels, but with an election back home, not everyone wants a peaceful outcome.
Promised Land (15)
(Gus Van Sant, 2012, Us/UAE) Matt Damon, John Krasinski, Frances McDormand. 107 mins
With fracking as the central concern, this finds it hard to avoid being an "issue movie", but there's some human drama to it. Damon's gas agent comes to an archetypal small town with a buyout in mind, but the locals and their country ways get to him. »

‘Bait’ Review
10 April 2013 2:55 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Xavier Samuel, Sharni Vinson, Julian McMahon, Phoebe Tonkin, Alex Russell, Dan Wyllie, Lincoln Lewis, Cariba Heine | Written by John Kim, Russell Mulcahy | Directed by Kimble Rendall
In a sleepy Australian beach community shoppers at the underground Oceania supermarket are under attack by a crazed bandit. Suddenly, the unimaginable happens. A monster freak tsunami swallows up the town hook, line and sinker. Now trapped, with rushing waves threatening to entomb them in a watery grave, the survivors discover they are not alone. For the tsunami has brought unwanted visitors up from the depths. Not only must they overcome the threat of drowning and the psycho robber in their midst, but also a hazard far more deadly and bloodthirsty – a pack of hungry sharks.
Jaws has a lot to answer for. Today it seems shark movies are a dime a dozen, from big budget Hollywood films like Deep Blue Sea and Open Water, »

Fire With Fire review

Review Luke Savage 8 Mar 2013 - 06:22
The moment has arrived: it's a film with both Bruce Willis and Vinnie Jones it. Here's our review of Fire With Fire...
Who’s ever wondered what an ‘oeuvre’ is? Anyone? The writers of Fire With Fire’s production notes obviously think that the term must have passed a lot of people by since they include a handy definition of it in director David Barrett’s biog. A ‘substantial body of work in the entertainment industry’ apparently, which is good to know. Thanks guys.
It goes some way to understanding the type of person who might enjoy Barrett’s directorial debut – if you’ve not read much in the way of stories, or seen any films in the last 20 years, Fire With Fire is a revelation. A rip-roaring, edge of your seat, unpredictable thrill ride.A searing portrayal of a really, really good-looking man »

Eight-Legged Dread Revealed on Kimble Rendalls The Nest 3D Teaser
12 February 2013 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
An overly early piece of teaser art for Aussie filmmaker Kimble Rendall's latest project 'The Nest 3D' has hit the Web(!). He's switched sharks for spiders in this new survival flick where a group of arachnid fodder avoid approaching swarms of Funnel web spiders whilst on a rescue mission in China. Rendall was responsible for last years supermarket shark attack flick 'Bait 3D' which starred Xavier Samuel, Sharni Vinson, Phoebe Tonkin and Julian McMahon. Darclight Films will produce the project which Rendall will helm. Interestingly enough the first piece of teaser art from shark sequel 'Bait 2 3D' has arrived today which we'll post up shortly. Rendall, however, will not be involved with the follow-up. »
Home and Away: 25 and kicking

Home and Away on location.
Amusement always ripples through an audience at awards nights when episode 5000 or 6000-and-something is mentioned. It seems unimaginable that this many episodes of a show could have been made. In the cutthroat world of prime time television shouldn.t resilience be celebrated? Yet two of Australia.s most resilient programs, Neighbours and Home and Away, are often regarded with jocular disrespect in industry and public circles for little reason other than that they are serials or, using the disparaging term, soaps.
Even former Home and Away cast member Melissa George . who has gone on establish a strong Us TV career . created headlines in November after threatening to walk off an Australian breakfast show if the hosts mentioned her character Angel. The criticism seems particularly undeserved with Home and Away continuing to win plaudits for more than just its longevity: on production values relative to the shooting schedule, »

Revenge Review: Keep Your Enemies Closer
13 January 2013 9:21 PM, PST | TVfanatic | See recent TVfanatic news »
In a town like the Hamptons, it pays to keep the your rivals and frenemies close to you, as we learned in "Sabotage," when Emily, the Graysons and others made it their business to keep certain people in their sights.
The person currently on nearly everyone's radar? Helen Crawley. Yep, The Initiative is taking over Revenge.
To taking it slowly and drinking it quickly. | permalink
Smooth toast, Daniel. By the way, that's a million dollar bottle of wine those two faux lovebirds are toasting with. Or apparently a million dollar bottle of vinegar. The bottle may have been undrinkable, but it got Daniel side-by-side with Emily and a front row seat to an awkward conversation with Aiden. Emily's relationship with Daniel is the one "too close for comfort" relationship that I worry will turn into more.
I never disliked Emily and Daniel as a couple and I don't think she »

11 January 2013 1:34 AM, PST | Sky Movies | See recent Sky Movies news »
It's clobberin' time as Marvel's formidable foursome deploy their unique gifts to Earth-saving effect in their first big-screen adventure. When the evil Dr Doom (Julian McMahon) threatens to wreak electric havoc on the planet, it's up to the ultra-stretchy Mr Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd) and his superheroic colleagues Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), the Human Torch (Chris Evans) and rock-fella The Thing (Michael Chicklis) to pull the plug on his plan. In an ever-darkening comic book universe, Tim Story's actionful caper offers a welcome blast of colour and cheer. »
