Comedy, 91 Minutes, 2009
Loved this.
The “mockumentary” style has been a little overdone lately but this is nicely refreshing and has some genuine, laugh-out-loud moments. It’s far from perfect but it has a depth that allows it to overcome its problems. In all the best ways this reminds me of genre classics like “Best in Show” or “Comic Book: The Movie”.

Pure crap.
This is actually listed as “comedy/horror” on IMDB and the only way that works is if you find it funny that anybody would find this scary and are horrified that anybody would find it funny.
Horror, 80 Minutes, 2010
Not bad for the genre really, but if you’re looking for any explanation at all you’re not going to get it. I’ve been fairly impressed with the quality of B movies coming out of Australia recently – this is on par with any of the American B-level theatrical releases recently (movies like “The Descent” or “The Hills have Eyes” come to mind).
Horror, 81 Minutes, 2010
I did like this, although it was pretty grotesquely stretched and still only hit 80 minutes. It would have worked much better as a short-form film or within an anthology.

I took my lovely bride on a date and saw “Mirrormask” at the local art house (which in our case has better screens and seating than most megaplexes).
The film is written by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean (if you don’t know who they are… well, you should), directed by McKean (his directorial debut) and features effects by the Jim Henson Company.
