Home and Away's Harvey Ryan will have a difficult confession to make after sleeping with his ex-wife Mel in a forthcoming storyline. Fans in Australia will soon see Harvey left devastated when he spots his fiancée Roo Stewart (Georgie Parker) sharing a warm embrace with her ex-boyfriend Tim (Jonny Pasvolsky). Although Roo's actions are entirely innocent, Harvey gets the wrong idea and immediately leaves Summer Bay to visit his daughter Lottie in the city, needing an escape. However, when it turns out that Lottie is away at a school camp, Harvey ends up alone with Mel (Allison Cratchley) - who takes the chance to make a move on him.

Chicago – If “Avatar” stood as a reminder of James Cameron’s undying popularity with audiences, “Sanctum” stands as proof that Cameron’s name alone can’t always sell a picture. Though the filmmaker merely served as executive producer of this murky thriller, the screen overflows with his signature tropes: underwater landscapes, 3D photography, hokey characters and pedestrian dialogue.
It nearly comes as a shock to discover that “Sanctum” was in fact not written and directed by the technologically ambitious, proudly commercial auteur. This sophomore directorial effort from Alister Grierson (“Kokoda”) is the sort of trash entertainment that undiscerning FEARnet subscribers may appreciate. The film prides itself on being devoid of the usual knee-jerk scares in cave-bound pictures, though it’s no less formulaic or artificial than any run-of-the-mill studio product.
Blu-Ray Rating: 2.5/5.0

Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer – Jordana Beatty, Heather Graham, Parris Mosteller
Super 8 - Elle Fanning, Amanda Michalka, Kyle Chandler
Movie of the Week
Super 8
The Stars: Elle Fanning, Amanda Michalka, Kyle Chandler
The Plot: After witnessing a mysterious train crash, a group of friends in the summer of 1979 begin noticing strange happenings going around in their small town, and begin to investigate into the creepy phenomenon.
The Buzz: The trailer for Super 8 sent shivers down my spine — good shivers. This film looks to be a beautifully crafted Spielbergian throwback. I’m pleased with the lack of A-list actors too. There’s been an air of mystery around this whole production, as J.J.Abrams and company did their best at keeping everything about this film on the hush-hush. I’ll be checking it out as soon as humanly possible...

Title: Sanctum Directed By: Alister Grierson Starring: Richard Roxburgh, Ioan Gruffudd, Rhys Wakefield, Alice Parkinson, Dan Wyllie, Christopher Baker, Nicole Downs, Allison Cratchley, Cramer Cain Sanctum may want to be an adventure drama, but you’ve actually got to have a viable blend of action and emotion to validate that categorization. Director Alister Grierson certainly tries to achieve that denomination, but sadly, succeeds in just one respect and fails big time in the other. Which one’s the winner? Here’s a hint; if Sanctum were a silent film, it’d be quite good. Deep inside the Esa’ala Caves in the South Pacific is a channel of tunnels that have yet to be explored. Seasoned diver, [...]...

It’s Super Bowl weekend, so at least we have that to look forward to. But in the film-going world there isn’t much in the way of new movies that are worthy of getting excited about. The two big choices are The Roommate and Sanctum. If you are lucky maybe your market just got 127 Hours, Biutiful, Another Year or Blue Valentine, at which point any of those are must sees. I recommend checking out The Mechanic, which debuted nationally last week, and that was a fun action flick with some good acting and stuff.
What’s New
The Roommate - The basic premise is that this film is the college experience gone awry, like the silly stupid, attempt at Hitchcock, kind of awry. Basically it revolves around college student Sara (Minka Kelly), who finds her safety jeopardized after she’s assigned to a dorm room with a new roommate,...

In the new action-thriller “Sanctum,” a group of explorers in Papua New Guinea are undertaking an expedition of the biggest unexplored underwater caverns in the world when a massive storm floods the caves, trapping them inside so that they must search for another way out. Though James Cameron is only an executive producer, his stamp is all over the film. With poor characterization and poorer writing, clunky story and stunning cinematography, you’d be forgiven for thinking the self-proclaimed “king of the world!” had written, directed, produced, cast and catered the entire thing.

The Plot: An underwater cave diving team experiences a life-threatening crisis during an expedition to the unexplored and least accessible cave system in the world.
The Buzz: This film looks stunning. I’m excited to see it in IMAX 3D. With a cast of relative unknowns (save Richard Roxburgh of Moulin Rouge) the star of this one looks to be cinematographer Jules O’Loughlin.
This is S.O.P. as far as Hollywood marketing is concerned, but I’ve always been annoyed when production credits are used to dupe the cinematically challenged populace. This film is produced by James Cameron, not directed. Direction credits go to Alister Grierson, a relatively untested director; Sanctum being only his second feature,...

The only way out is down, according to the new 'Sanctum' one-sheet. However I also find the theatre exit behind me is usually a good place to start if the film you're watching is sub-par. Only last week we revealed the new one-sheet for the James Cameron produced underwater fare 'Sanctum'. Helmed by Alister Grierson and penned by Andrew Wight and John Garvin, 'Sanctum' stars Mr Bendy bollocks 'Fantastic Four' star Ioan Gruffudd along with Richard Roxburgh ('Van Helsing'), Alice Parkinson (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Rhys Wakefield, Dan Wyllie, Allison Cratchley and Christopher Baker. A new one-sheet has sprung into promo action ahead of it's February 2011 release. You can check it out below....

The new 3D thriller 'Sanctum' has been gifted with a brand spanking new one-sheet for all to enjoy. The flick is executively produced by James Cameron and therefore 'must' splash his two previous blockbusting credits on the poster. 'Titanic' and sci-fi actioner 'Avatar', which did the incredible thing of making 'Titanic' suddenly seem bearable, are nicely highlighted to help entice unsuspecting audiences to mindlessly wander into their local multiplex expecting spectacle and little substance. But let's hope director Alister Grierson and scripters Andrew Wight and John Garvin (who also stars) can bring a little more to the underwater table. 'Fantastic Four' star Ioan Gruffudd appears alongside Richard Roxburgh ('Van Helsing'), Alice Parkinson (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Rhys Wakefield, Dan Wyllie, Allison Cratchley, Christopher Baker and John Garvin.
