Review – Machete Kills
The breasts and violence are toned down to accommodate a more outrageous storyline and new characters that push this sequel closer to comedy than its predecessor.

Review – Jobs
Ashton Kutcher successfully carries the film with his lead performance, reproducing the idiosyncratic walk and speech affectations of the real Steve Jobs, but with Whiteley’s script he’s prone to repeating almost every conceivable Jobs quote.
Review – Kick Ass 2
This is a worthy sequel to the original, which wisely focuses on character development rather than just upping the scales of spectacle… It was a given that [Chloe Grace Moretz] would feature more in the sequel. Her burgeoning sexuality, paired with grief for her late father, gives her depth and vulnerability unseen previously, and it’s played with aplomb by the talented star.
Review – 100 Bloody Acres
Heckler reviews this off-beat comedy which comes with a side of B-Grade horror.
Review – Snitch
Casual moviegoers may line up at box offices to watch another action movie with The Rock, but this one’s pretty sparse with the explosions and heavy on the plotting and family drama.
Review – Hara-Kiri: Death of a Samurai
This is a remake of 1962 movie, Harakiri. They are both set in seventeenth century Japan, but the new version utilises modern 3D jiggery-pokery to impress contemporary audiences.
Review – Blinder
Considering how obsessed Australia gets about it’s football code, there’s surprising few movies about it.

Review – Puppetry of the Penis
