In my inbox the other day, I received what was said to be the latest promotional poster for the Dark Knight movie. In case you live under a rock, the Dark Knight is the next installment in the Batman saga. It will star Christian Bale as Batman and Heath Ledger as the Joker. It is [...]

Will Ferrell could take a dump in my letter box right now and I’d laugh. He’s funny. Wet your pants style funny. I’d been waiting to see Blades of Glory since I saw the first promo. Will Ferrell, spandex, figure skating, all the elements were in place. As the cinema curtains drew back, I was [...]

Sunshine isn’t the brightest of films. I’d hardly describe it as uplifting. Perhaps I had just read one too many positive reviews of the film, or perhaps I was just tired? Set in the not so distant future, Sunshine focuses on a group of eight astronauts as they take on the mission of trying to [...]

Don’t see the new David Fincher movie “Zodiac” if you have a short attention span. Running just over 2 and a half hours, Fincher has crafted an interesting film, and does a good job of telling the story of Robert Graysmith and the detectives on the trail of the Zodiac killer. The film spans three [...]

Just got back from seeing Spiderman 3. Have to say I loved it. That is not to say it wasn’t flawed and corny, just that as far as super hero movies go, it was worth the price of admission. It pretty much continues down the same path 1 and 2 started, but this time it’s [...]

Walking out of the cinema after watching 300 last night, I didn’t exactly know what to think. I was both impressed and disappointed. Yes, the movie was a visual orgy (or ‘vorgy’), but character development and dialogue wise it could have been cooked up by a preschool kid. It was a ‘manly’ movie, but at [...]

If you insist on going to see Ghost Rider, please enter the cinema with extremely low expectations. Even then, expect to be disappointed! The film is directed by Mark Steven Johnson, the man behind the other disappointing super hero flick, Daredevil.

 For the second time in a row Colin Farrell has let me down. First it was Miami Vice, a long, slow and boring effort, that totally destroyed a concept that had potential. Farrell’s second strike is The New World. I just finished up watching the 130 minute epic and now I’m tired. The official [...]

I found this script that is allegedly the opening scene of what would be Alien 5. Not sure how genuine it is, but it’s an interesting read. The most notable thing from the opening scene is the absence of Sigourny Weaver, and after reading the opening I’m not sure how they would work her into [...]

From the opening scene you just know that ‘Stay’ is going to be a head trip. Starring Ewan McGregor it’s a film big on style, but a little low on substance. ‘Stay’ essentially tells the story of a psychiatrist, Ewan McGregor, attempting to prevent one of his patients from committing suicide, whilst at the same [...]

This film should carry a warning! I demand 90 minutes of my life back! ‘House of the Dead 2: Dead Aim’ is a “based on the video game†film, and the sequel to Uwe Boll’s 2003 steaming turd, ‘House of the Dead’. The film opens in a US college, with frat boys hosing down scantily [...]
