Reel Weekend | 25 April 2008
Horror flick The Eye is directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud, who proved last year that they could deliver the scary goods with the French shocker Them. Unfortunately they seem to have left everything that made that film so successful in their homeland because The Eye is about as generic as Hollywood horror gets. The movie plays like a Frankenstein's monster of recent horror hits, and the scriptwriters are so aware that this material is utterly derivative that they even include a jokey reference to The Sixth Sense in the dialogue.
Reel Weekend | 25 April 2008
Based on a graphic novel, the beautifully hand-drawn, black-and-white Persepolis is an autobiographical story of Marjane Satrapi, an Iranian woman who spent the first decade of her life living a relatively happy childhood in Tehran, before being packed off to Vienna by her liberal parents. The film is a masterclass in economic story-telling, effectively condensing many years into just over 90 minutes, and Satrapi and writer-director Vincent Paronnaud manage to find verbal and visual humour in even the darkest of situations.

Gadget Reviews | 01 November 2007
With its 'Kuro', blacker-than-black styling, the Pioneer PDP-428XD does live up to its hype – it would make a great centrepiece to any home cinema.

However it's not all improvements. Why is the sat-nav haunted? Why is the main information display the size of a wrist watch? Why is the 1.8-litre diesel engine so keen to stall at inopportune moments? Click the player and take a look...
Movie Trailers | 20 February 2008
Director Roland Emmerich takes some poetic license with history as he brings his vision of pre-historic adventure to cinemas this spring. Cavemen with American accents, giant sabretooth tigers and huge battle sequences featuring hundreds of rampaging mammoths may not be an accurate portrayal of the past, but it might be an entertaining one.

Encoded | 02 May 2008
Nate Lanxon's back with the latest music videos once again, and in this episode it's as if he stepped back in time as we're treated to big hair, smoke machines and synth lines a-plenty with New Zealand's answer to Berlinda Carlisle, Ladyhawke, and her latest single 'Back of the Van'. Next up is Delays with 'Everything's the Rush', the video to which was directed by Lee Lennox, who did a brilliant video for The Presets last year; and finally we round off with some chart-friendly pop with Roisin Murphy's 'You Know Me Better'.
Movie Review: I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK
Reel Weekend | 04 April 2008
Chan-wook Park's I'm A Cyborg is not your typical romantic comedy. It opens with a woman cutting her own wrists, and proceeds to tell the story of Young-goon, a mentally ill girl who is convinced she is a killer android and has violent fantasies about massacring a bunch of doctors. Unlike Park's previous film Oldboy, there's no octopus gobbling, but fans of Asian splatter will still lap up the scenes of robotic mayhem.
