By John U (69) on 30 Aug 2013

Deeply moving, inspiring, and surprising. What it appears to be at first, is actually just an appearance…

My favorite Marx Brothers movie of all time. Duck Soup is as fresh today as it was in 1933. Hilarious and a great anti war movie…

Review of Bad Taste (1987)

By John U (69) on 30 Mar 2008

Forget LOTR. This is the film that all Kiwis should be celebrating. Sweet effects, 80's Bogans, guns and gore. What more can you want…
