JONAH HEX (15): On General Release Friday 3rd September Sometimes reviewers can be quite harsh, but let me assure you, we love movies and are willing to give almost anything a chance (sorry Shank).

What would you do if you knew the day was going to repeat itself? Yes, it was the premise for Groundhog Day but Repeaters takes a much darker look at a day that loops itself over and over again. Starring 90210 and Extract’s Dustin Milligan, Repeaters is ‘A gritty mind-bending thriller about three twenty-somethings who find themselves in... [Read more of this review]
