I am a movie fanatic. I watch movies on TV, at the cinema and I watch them over and over again. This is a way of logging the movies I watch and hopefully a down-to-earth critique of each, for people like me. In no particular order...although my favourite movie is first...

Holy Roller

YEAR 2011

DIRECTOR Patrick Gillies

STARRING Angus Benfield, Victoria Abbott and Jeremy Brennan

WRITER Angus Benfield

OVERVIEW Kiwi comedy-drama about a rural pastor who attempts to convert an inner-city nightclub into a church.

OPINION  Some nice touches. Pretty average overall though. Average directing, average editing, average lighting, average acting- with the exception of Pastor Luke who was loveable and the crazy evil -hunting blonde guy; quirky and has potential. Even the locations were a little strange and lacking in intrigue. Not good enough for such a great country. Although New Zealand is has out-of-this-world scenery this movie centred on very drab corners in a grey city (Christchurch pre the earthquake)

RATING Y1/2
