Barry B’s Film Reviews

About me: NZ Film fan - will not stop until the collection is complete (which of course will be never hahaha)

21 Films have been rated or reviewed by Barry B.

Utu - Redux (1983-2013): Watched the again recently. It's still one of the best ever Kiwi–made flicks.; DVD ~~$24.95~~ $14.95, ~~$39.95~~ $24.95 | Blu-Ray ~~$39.95~~ $34.95
Sleeping Dogs (1977): Very possibly the first locally made movie I ever saw. It's fair to say I was instantly hooked, as I now have literally hundreds of NZ–made movies on DVD. Sam Neill even briefly adopted my real name in the film. Few better, many worse.; DVD ~~$25~~ $18.75
Strength of Water, The (2009): I enjoyed this more than most of the reviews of it I read suggest I would. It\'s a little special.
Hopes and Dreams of Gazza Snell, The (2010): I had high expectations of this movie, but was slightly disappointed that it didn\'t really go where I thought it may have.
Apron Strings (2008): Unlike many NZ films, I\'ve certainly watched this one more than once.
After the Waterfall (2010): I expected more but I\'ve definitey watched worse Kiwi film making. Will certainly watch it again.
Insatiable Moon, The (2010): Of this NZ offering I had very little expectation, but was pleasantly surprised. Thorougly recommended.
Predicament (2010): Glad the fourth and final film from the collection has been made, and true to the other Morrieson\'s as well. Taranaki hasn\'t change that much since the film was set either haha.
Matariki (2010): I really enjoyed this film, helped possibly by locations I\'m very familar with, but definitely a good – if slightly complex – watch.
Heavenly Creatures (1994): I enjoyed this less than most it seems, but it\'s certainly an above average venture.
