Film Review: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
There is a mole in the ‘Circus’, a Soviet wolf amongst the capitalist sheep. Analogies aside, the first thing to say is that there is no faulting the performances, Gary Oldman is already a solid lock for a Best Actor nomina...
Overdue #8 Amélie (2001)
Green and red, Amélie has these two colours in spades, it has even more wide angle lens, tracking shots, crash zooms, extreme close ups, crane shots and more. Well if there was a positive aspect of the movie, that was it. Othe...
Film Review: Troll Hunter
The year is 2011 and a CGI monster, one hundred feet tall, bellowing and stomping as the earth itself appears to quiver before its might. In the cinema of 2011 this is a scene from an independent, micro-budget picture made by a...
Overdue #7 The Star Wars Trilogy (IV-VI) (1977 – 1983)
With a franchise like this and the impact it has had beyond popular culture, cinema and the creation of film as an art form and the impact it has on its audience it is certainly a challenge to highlight any other areas of discu...
Film Review: Naruto Ninja Clash in the Land Of Snow
Naruto: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow is the first Naruto movie. It does incorporate the ‘movie element’ of having a movie being staged and filmed within the film, which gives it a very good, feel. But there is that feel ...
Film Review: 3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy
If there was ever a single guarantee with 3D it would be this: Play crudely enough to the cheap seats, disregard the whole ‘immersion’ stuff Hollywood is peddling and just wave sharp objects (or in this case, mammarys) in...
Film Review: ‘Bleach Hell Chapter’
When it comes to the hugely popular animes; such as Bleach, Naruto Shippuden and Dragon Ball Z, you would think that by the time they get to about movie 10, such as Dragon Ball Z did, that they would lose their ‘thrill factor...
Overdue #6 The Jurassic Park Trilogy (1993-2001)
We all know the story of the impact of Jurassic Park’s computer generated dinosaurs in 1993 (and the use of the technology since then, for better or worse) and with so much reverence for the superb dinosaur effects across eac...
Film Review: The Guard
If The Inbetweeners Movie has failed to peak your interest in the past week, then you still have ample opportunity to seek out The Guard, whilst not perfect (what is?) it certainly provides a healthy alternative to the teen cen...
Overdue #5 Conan the Barbarian (1982)
Unless you live in the USA at the time of this review going to ‘print’ (we’re online, who’da thunk?) the likelihood is quite high that you have yet to the see Marcus Nispel’s (ultra hack) new interpretation of Robert ...
