I was a fan of the first ‘Expendables’, but though it took itself a little too serious and could have done with more clever tongue in cheek jokes.

I didn’t know much about this film going into it other than it was written, directed and starred Dax Shepard, who people might remember from the early seasons of ‘Punk’d’ and the action adventure comedy film shot in New Zealand, ‘Without A Paddle’.

As a film lover, film reviewer, and general level 6 cinefile, I tend to watch a lot of trailers for upcoming films.

I always love getting press invites for the general cinema releases of films I missed at the New Zealand International Film Festival.

Emperor, a major Hollywood movie filmed in New Zealand is to take centre stage at the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival next month.

So, did I enjoy 'Total Recall'? Yeah, yeah I did. It created an interesting and believable world, and I was glad to see it wasn't a remake, as it really took its own path, so felt fresh...ish. But I also didn't think it was as good as the original.

Tickets are still available for the Winter Games Adventure Film Festival featuring three days of adventurous sport and lifestyle movies screening at Reading Cinema in Queenstown, this weekend.

I’ve been a big fan of the Bourne series since day one, as it brings together gripping storytelling, great action, and fantastic actors pulling off both likeable and believable characters.

I see a lot of films by myself being a film reviewer, and it’s actually something I really love to do. But even I thought twice about hitting up a film about male strippers by myself.

This is a documentary about a top 90’s hip hop group and their trials and tribulations over the years. From the polar opposite view points of the two creative heads, Q-Tip and Phife, to the fan base and other artists who have been influenced by the music and their style.
