DVD Review – The Luminaries

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews the miniseries, The Luminaries… A young man gets shot only to stand up unscathed. A young woman faints after bleeding… gold? The Luminaries is a lot more reality-based than its opening sequence suggests but if you can handle that, the rest of the series is gravy. It’s still an unusual tactic, though. […]

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews series one and two of Flack… They’ll always be a place on television for antiheroes. If Robyn (Anna Paquin) doesn’t break the antihero mold, though, Flack does in its response to her self-destructive behavior.

There are other genres that would happily claim M as one of their own, but they’re not the reason the film has a Devil’s Advocates monograph. Devil’s Advocates is a series that focuses on horror movies from Auteur Publishing. Other films […]

DVD Review – Britannia Series I & II

by

Rachel Bellwoar reviews series one and two of Britannia… Plenty of prophecies could do with being more specific. Most don’t have an excuse for being vague, but you can’t exactly blame a prophecy when the Chosen One doesn’t have a name. For that the blame lies solely with the Romans who invaded Britannia during Cait’s […]
