BEYOND THE MOVIE (LORD OF THE RINGS) (2001)

An intriguing look behind the scenes of the Lord of The Rings phenomenon. Chats with cast and crew, stunning New Zealand landscapes, a history of Tolkien himself, his possible motivations for the original trilogy and lots of exclusive clips of the film. Quite interesting though with the distinct whiff of 'cash in'. find out more...

It's 1984. Here we meet Boy, an 11-year-old who lives on a farm with his gran, a goat, and his younger brother, Rocky (who thinks he has magic powers).

BRAINDEAD (1992)

The man that brought you the funny but stomach-churning 'Bad Taste' and the epic 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy made another film of gross proportions! Lionel lives with his nagging mother, but when she is bitten by a vicious Sumatran Rat monkey, she degenerates into a flesh eating zombie who has to be kept in the cellar. A slapstick comedy with blood and guts instead of custard pies. Horrific fun. find out more...

Sadly, Jarrod's priorities are far from romantic; a face off with the class-mate who mercilessly bullied him back in his home town is all he cares about and, until he gets his man, Lilly knows she won't get her find out more...

Quirky road movie which proves beyond doubt that Neanderthal Man is alive and well and living in New Zealand. Two "irrepressible" blokes hit the road in a hot mini, most of which has to be sold off along the way, with the cops in hot pursuit. Nice car, lovely scenery but a highly suspect script. find out more...

Clearly the foster care system in New Zealand isn't much better than the one in the states. A sobering, touching & hilariously dry tale about the trials of parenthood, Waititi fills "Wilderpeople" with his comedic touches while showing his hand as a Wes Anderson fan (quirky editing, symmetrical framing). The kid is an awesome find, Neill is great; it's hard to ima find out more...

A debut feature from New Zealand writer-director Anna Campion. A group of attractive British twenty-somethings hole up in a country house for the weekend to shoot a horror movie. Pleasingly for the viewer, this proves to be far from a piece of cake, and so the assembled crew spend a lot of time talking about their problems. But after dropping some acid to get the creative juices flowing, as you do, events start to take a more sinister turn, with their collective trip being brought to an abrupt h find out more...

What can I say? The Fellowship of the Ring is all right if you like that kind of Sword and Sorcery thing? Small, cute whee people being chased hither and thither by all kinds of monstrous beasties. Acts of courage and heroism that would have comic book superheroes running for the hills (not that they'd be safe there....oh no!). Peter Jackson's film adaptation of Tolkien's epic trilogy of good versus evil in a fantastical world long past, is just about as spot on as you can imagine it was possibl find out more...
