Experienced Aussie actor Paul Eenhoorn was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk about his most recent role as Colin in last summer's delightful and breezy buddy-comedy adventure Land Ho! The film tells the story of two former brothers-in-law, Colin and Mitch (Earl Lynn Nelson) who take a much-needed trip to … Continue reading Actor Interview: Aussie Paul Eenhoorn talks ‘Land Ho!’
Release: Friday, April 10, 2015 [Netflix] Written by: James McFarland Directed by: Kriv Stenders Simon Pegg embraces his inner baddie and Kill Me Three Times is somewhat better because of it. 'Somewhat' is the operative word here as Pegg, even in a killer role (e-hem), isn't enough to make the film worth watching. Too choppily paced to be considered an intentional … Continue reading Kill Me Three Times

Crowe busies himself by taking on the lead of, funny enough, Australian farmer Joshua Connor … Continue reading The Water Diviner
Release: Friday, November 28, 2014 (limited) [Redbox] Written by: Jennifer Kent Directed by: Jennifer Kent It's official. I'm in love with horror once again. It's some kind of feat the hype surrounding Jennifer Kent's much-acclaimed horror film has gotten to the point where it feels like watching the 'scariest film in years' this far into 2015 is, yeah, a little like … Continue reading The Babadook
Release: Friday, June 13, 2014 (limited) [Theater] People often are products of their environment. In the case of The Rover, it seems to be the other way around. If that sounds like a call for the environmentally-minded to flock to their nearest indie/arthouse theater to see this flick, I don't believe I could be more misleading. This unrelentingly bleak drama … Continue reading The Rover
