Movie Reviews
300 is not just another swords and sandals epic. Epic, yes. Swords, lots. Sandals, yes those too, but probably squelching over a limbless corpse. Cartoon book fantasy on the big screen.
Alien Autopsy is not as glamorous as Hollywood’s SF movies. Instead, this is a cosy British comedy generating perhaps quiet laughs, but many of them.
OK, the plot that terrorists try to wage jihad in a TV talent show where the US President appears as a guest judge sounds silly…but there is some emotional depth and you can feel sympathy...
A challenging documentary by former Vice-President Al Gore which is a call to action on global warming.
It may be black and white, it may be French, but suicide has seldom been so amusing.
Emotional content is a tricky business. Melodrama and tack won’t cut it anymore, especially with films that lie just on the boundary of mainstream cinema. What a relief it is that Alejandro Iñárritu i
Big Momma’s House 2 sees Martin Lawrence reprise the role of undercover agent Malcolm Turner who finds himself donning the Big Momma suit one more time.
As with all the darkest tales of intrigue, it starts with the death of a woman. Yet this is no run-of-the-mill detective story...
A star-studded cast and the usual tricks and wizardry we've come to expect from Pixar combine to make Cars more of an exhilarating blast down the autobahn than a road rage incident.
Icy Sedgwick says Casino Royale restores the Bond franchise at last, as Daniel Craig gives a back-to-basics rough-edged interpretation that's true to the original. The best Bond since Goldfinger.
A feelgood movie, mixing cute animals and some astonishingly realistic animation that will delight children everywhere
This mockumentary stars some of British comedy’s finest talents, showcasing their improvising skills. The director just gave the actors the gist of the scene and let them carry on...
Icy Sedgwick enjoyed Crank despite a silly plot. The pace never slows or drags.
Well choreographed,visually sumptious but maybe some plot would come in handy. Like Moffat wonders whether martial arts spectaculars have run their course.
"Quentin Tarantino is finally given a chance to prove himself".
Explosions, fights, hackers, kidnapping and holding the USA to ransom. Great stuff!
The image of Paris as the city of romance gets a loveless kick to the groin with this action-packed, martial arts flick. The outrageous stunts will keep you glued to the screen.
Down in the Valley is set in modern day California, and stars Ed Norton as pseudo-cowboy Harlan trying to find meaning in his life, when he stumbles across angst ridden Tobe...
Wow, what a title. The number of puns about this movie’s inability to shift into a higher gear almost makes my head explode. Yes, it’s another romantic comedy (a chick-flick to you and me.)
Fans of Hero and House of Flying Daggers, may find that Fearless – a biopic of Chinese martial arts master Huo Yuanjia – fails to measure up to their expectations ...
Every so often a movie comes along that should be abysmal, and ticks every box on the 'rubbish film' checklist - yet reaffirms your faith in Hollywood to entertain
There is something about first time directors that fills critics with dread, especially when they arrive fresh from the MTV stockpile. Every so often the mould gets broken...
Don’t be fooled by the tagline, ‘Quentin Tarantino presents’… Hostel is neither directed nor written by him at all. Directed by Eli Roth, you will see an excessive amount of violence and blood...
Icy Sedgwick is not totally convinced by Hostel II
Hot Fuzz draws on the cream of British talent for a melting pot of fun and action.
