Movie reviews of Simon Storey

A funny, charming and genuinely exciting look into one of the greatest riders this country has ever produced. Review

Those looking for thought-provoking cinema which will test sympathies and personal bias should rush out to see it. Review

This is absolute, unapologetic schlock. Laughably bad with emphasis on the ‘laughably’. Review

Both a charming look at one of Australia’s finest cinematic craftswoman, and a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of Australian film. Review

Has one or two fun moments playing around with this tiny hero, but this is as generic and forgettable a film as it was possible to make with this material. Review

It’s been a long time between drinks but the team at Pixar have captured everything great about the first film and done it again. Review

The result is perfectly watchable, but it never goes near the emotional heights it aspires to. Review

A moderately successful piece of slowly built tension and creepy foreboding. Review

The latest of our brilliant local contributions with this layered and inventive take on the walking dead. Review

A deceptive narrative that speaks volumes about the topic, but made all the better for the masterful blending of humour and truthfulness... Review

The history of the church is a study of the best and worst of humanity, and this documentary is a fascinating one. Review

Fairly conventional but still reasonable successful, even if the ending does seem like a bit of a cop out. If you love science fiction this is worth tracking down. Review

This is for the fans, both young and old, and it doesn’t disappoint... Review

Aims for picturesque charm and does it perfectly. Review

An informative and occasionally condemnatory portrayal of a man that spent his life living in the shadows of other, greater men. Review

There’s a lot of fun to be had here. Review

If you’re not religious this is like being slowly lobotomised over 100 excruciating minutes. Review

Its ambitions well exceed its success and young audience might get a lot out of this but for an older audience it all seems a bit naive and candied. Review

Domhnall Gleeson still can’t put a foot wrong and Rose Byrne is always nice to see, but this is the perfect and most aggravating example of pointless adaptation. Review

Much more than the sum its parts and it’s always good when low budget films like this find their audience – horror fans, to the cinema! Review

If nothing else, this is a fascinating and original take on a story that has been continuously told for over two thousand years. Review

An undeniably fun and fabulous romp into the strange halls of tinsel town history. Review

A sad and painful part of this nation and it deserves to come into the limelight. Review

A lovely if slightly shallow trip back into the memory of romance. Review
