  • Book Review: Benjamin Percy’s RED MOON

    Benjamin Percy’s Red Moon is an odd beast indeed. It’s a cross-genre piece that would put up a good fight to fit in almost every section of your local book shop. Horror sits side-by-side with teen romance, science fiction and drama. The book is also filled with allegory so widespread that it’s a smorgasbord of political and historical pick and mix. Is Percy comparing his story to the post-911 21st Century? Is it about civil rights, AIDS, the holocaust?

  • DVD Review: Robert Rodriguez Presents CURANDERO - DAWN OF THE DEMON

    Grindhouse god, Robert Rodriguez writes and produces this Spanish language curiosity. Think of a low budget feature combination of Millennium meets The X-Files by way of ‘CSI: Mexico’. It never quite gels as a concept, but this low budget thriller has enough gore and crazy little moments to pass 90 minutes.

  • Katniss Everdeen Teaser Poster For THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE

    The Hunger Games isn’t for me. I know that - and if you read Movies In Focus – you know that. I’d rather kick-back and watch The Running Man. However, it does have its audience, who will no doubt be thrilled by this Jennifer Lawrence focused Katniss Everdeen character poster for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

  • Review: STAR TREK - COUNTDOWN TO DARKNESS

    J.J Abrams shocked many when he successfully re-energised the Star Trek franchise with 2009’s Star Trek. He opened up Trek to a whole new audience (and generation), helping it crack into the mainstream. Before Abram’s captained the Starship Enterprise to box office glory, the franchise was something of a niche, ironically seen as a poor cousin to George LucasStar Wars. This is odd considering that Star Trek first aired on television a decade before Lucas unleashed the full-force of his Jedi might.

  • DVD Review: THE HIDDEN FACE

    The Hidden Face begins like most haunted house movies. A young couple move into a large country house and soon things start to go bump in the night. You’ve seen it all a million times before, but just as soon as you think that this Spanish language film (set in Colombia) has nothing new to offer, it takes a radical turn at the midway point by challenging the conventions of this stale genre. The turn means that The Hidden Face delivers a fresh new angle on the traditional ghost story; this grounds the tale in the real world and makes it strangely compelling viewing.
