NZ film Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant is utterly bonkers, spectacularly revolting and enormous fun (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Boy, girl or alien? Yvette Parsons, Hannah Lynch and Jonny Brugh contempate the possibilities. Photo / Supplied Mum, I’m Alien Pregnant, directed by Sean Wallace and Jordan Dodson, is in cinemas now. This home-grown horror romcom is utterly bonkers, spectacularly revolting, and enormous fun. As the title suggests, it’s a tale of a layabout young woman whose close encounter with the strange boy next door has extraterrestrial consequences. Think early-era Peter Jackson splatter classics, crossed w
Practical Magic’s unenchanting sequel fails to cast spell (opens the original)

Hocus pocus: Even Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman can’t breathe life into shady follow-up. Photo / Supplied Practical Magic 2, directed by Susanne Bier, is in cinemas now. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman were fresh-faced thirtysomethings when they starred in 1998’s Practical Magic as modern witch sisters with a family curse that doomed any man they loved. The film went unloved by critics for its jumbled tone and tanked at the box office. But with Alice Hoffman, the author of the 1995 book on w

Spa Weekend is a regrettable attempt at comedy that might anger target viewers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not the directors’ first cliche-soaked rodeo: Spa Weekend with Isla Fisher, Leslie Mann, Michelle Buteau and Anna Faris. Photo / Supplied Spa Weekend, directed by Jon Lucas & Scott Moore, is in cinemas now. Written and directed by two middle-aged men who think they know what middle-aged women want, Spa Weekend is so appalling it makes the derided One Night Only look like awards fodder. As if the perimenopausal members of the audience weren’t pissed off enough, this unfunny girls’ own misadventur
Arthouse horror Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is brilliantly bizzare (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bonding: Hannah Einbender and Gillian Anderson are making a movie in a meta kind of way. Photo / Supplied Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, directed by Jane Schoenbrun, is in cinemas now. This is the brilliantly bizarre, bonkers tale of shy young film-maker Kris (Hannah Einbender), who unleashes her dormant sexuality while working on the reboot of a slasher movie. Instrumental in Kris’s voyage of self-discovery is Gillian Anderson’s Billy Presley, the now reclusive “final girl” of the origin
