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...

It was no real surprise when the working title of the newest edition in the Apes legacy was simply ‘Caesar’, it struck recognition with fans of the series but more importantly that recognition outlined the premise of the ne...
Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
During the filming of The Lord of the Rings trilogy Andy Serkis was known to have remarked that after a day of giving his all as Gollum (whilst trussed up in an unflattering body stocking), he’d return to his trailer and real...
Overdue #3 E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982).
A review for a classic movie often writes itself and with a film as fondly remembered as E.T, it’s easy to cover old ground. Luckily in the case of this particular gem in Spielberg’s catalogue we have Super 8 to compare, J....
Review: Arrietty
It’s not advisable to place your faith in actors, directors or even studios (e.g. auteur theory), not simply because it’s biased but it raises an extremely important point: With so much devotion to a single artist, how can ...
