    Movie Feature | Phyllis | 6th June 2010

    For those not familiar with internet parlace (ZOMG), being 'owned' or being party to 'ownage' is to be completely and totally defeated in the most swift, brutal, embarrassing way possible.

    Movie Review | Phyllis | 13th August 2009

    I'm not sure what to make of David Twohy. The man is responsible for Critters 2: The Main Course, Waterworld, G.I. Jane and The Chronicles of Riddick (and unleashing Vin Diesel onto an unsuspecting world, damn it). One might despise him for these vile offences, nay, not just despise, but secretly wish to haul him into the Hague for crimes against humanity.
