Pearce’s Film Reviews

Super (2010)
Great combination of black comedy, serial killer movie and masked avenger film. Probably the only vigilante movie that really gets at how disgusting the genre is. Makes a perfect double with Bobcat Goldthwaite's God Bless America.
God Bless America (2011)
- A little too didactic, but funny and unafraid to go wildly over the top into taboo territory. Would make a great double feature with James Gunn's Super.
Sleeping Dogs Lie (2006)
Probably the best romantic comedy about blowing a bulldog that has yet been made.
Quills (2000)- A contentious portrait of Sade, who definitely was not the slightly naughty luvvie he is portrayed as here, but spirited entertainment.

Harry Brown (2009)
Daft reactionary nonsense, likely to appeal to stuffy old farts who would like to be allowed to shoot their young noisy neighbours.
Batman: The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
Just another right–wing power fantasy, only more overblown and pompous than usual.
Hitcher, The (1986)
This was probably Rutger Hauer's last great performance before he started sleepwalking through everything. He's terrifying.
Last House on the Left, The (1972)- They don't make them like this anymore, thank goodness. The scenes of atrocity are convincing, but other dialogue scenes are risible and the frequent stabs at broad comedy are cringeworthy. Historical value only.
White Christmas (1954)- More like Shite Christmas.
Zulu (1969)- This might be a handsomely mounted epic, but it still depicts Black Africa as a faceless horde of savages. Well made and well acted by those who actually get speaking roles (ie the white people) but still racist af.
