Movie Review: The Hangover Part III

The Hangover (2009) introduced us to one of the funniest buddy comedy casts ever. The Wolfpack returns in The Hangover Part III, but this time the formula that was repeated in Part II and earned the franchise so much critical derision is abandoned in favor of a tale that spins off of the events in the previous movies but does not simply ape them.

Blu-Ray Review: Bullet In The Face

Within just a few minutes of viewing Bullet in the Face for the very first time, it became very clear to me what I could expect from this show. Stylised over-the-top acting (complete with cliched accents), excessive violence, morbid humour and a psychotic lead character are all key ingredients to this very quirky yet strangely enjoyable meal.

DVD Review: Wilfred (Australian Version) Series One & Two

by Jayden Leggett, Assistant Editor A somewhat dark and bizarre Australian comedy series that has recently been adapted into an American release, Wilfred isn’t the sort of show that just anybody can enjoy. However for those whose minds are open…

DVD Review: Swift & Shift Couriers Series 1 + 2 Box Set

by Jayden Leggett, Assistant Editor What do you get when you combine a satirical look at multiculturalism in Australia with over-the-top comedic racial stereotypes, crass humor and offensive language? That would be the SBS series Swift & Shift Couriers, without…

DVD Review: Breaking Wind

by Chris Kane, Reviewer

A mere year after the release of the critically panned Vampires Suck, director Craig Moss (Bad Ass, The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It) weighs in with his direct-to-DVD spoof of the Twilight saga, Breaking Wind.  This film struck me as being a celluloid version of that knock-knock joke.  You know the one that goes knock-knock (who’s there?) I eat mop (I eat mop who?)  HA HA!  Yeah, Breaking Wind is a little like that joke: moronic, scatological, and kinda funny!
