Review: The Big Wedding

I've seen my fair share of wedding movies over the years but the damn things all melt into one in my head afterwards. Once you've established your wacky line-up of one-note characters, the screenplay practically writes itself. Having forced myself to sit through marital comedy The Big Wedding, I thought I'd take a similar approach with my review and just write an exhaustive list of every single wedding cliché I spotted. That's the bare minimum, but in this genre, the bare minimum is all you need.

Meet Barry, the key to the Todd Phillips Movieverse

Todd Phillips' movies might be the basest comedies known to man, but they are home to a rather fun recurring cameo by the director himself: sort of like Nick Fury if Nick Fury was a total skeezeball.

Poor David Schwimmer

Maybe he had a really bad spot. Or maybe he's secretly TWO-FACE.

Review: The Great Gatsby

If you could attend any party hosted by a Hollywood director, you'd want it to be Baz Luhrmann's, wouldn't you? I reckon he just beats out J.J. Abrams' cosplay event in the fun stakes, and you'd certainly want to avoid the intimate get-together round Lars Von Trier's house (*shudder*). Luhrmann clearly knows how to pull out all the stops - as evidenced in the ridiculously extravagant Gatsby gatherings here. The problem with this film, however, is that once we've seen one magnificently ostentatious evening, everything after fails to live up to the spectacle. Luhrmann basically invites us to the world's greatest party, but it's one that slowly sours over the course of the following two hours. At least James Cameron's uncompromising pool party would be consistent.

2013: officially the year of bling

Look at it.

Star Wars in the UK: the London Underground feels the Force

Adventure? Excitement? A Jedi craves not these things. But that doesn't mean they couldn't use a little help finding their way around London.

Trailer breakdown: you mess with Riddick, you lose

Geddit? 'Riddick you lose', ridicul- ah what's the point. Here are a dozen and a bit sarcastic comments below some stills from the first trailer for the new Riddick film, Riddick, which stars Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick. I literally just found out that's his full name.

Things that only happen in Richard Curtis films #326: laughing at rain

First Four Weddings, now About Time. I think I know what Alan Partridge would have to say about this...

Yet again, we see what you did there, Asylum

And yet again, I would still watch the shit out of this.

Review: Fast & Furious 6

If you've never seen a Fast & Furious movie, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker play two alpha males who wish they could have energetic bum sex with one another, but have to settle for driving around big shiny penis extensions instead. Over five homoerotic odysseys, they've recruited various friends from around the world into their gang, all of whom perform one specific function, whether it be 'tech', 'comic relief' or 'looking hot'. In Fast & Furious 6, they team up with chief Fast Five antagonist Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson to hunt down Luke 'The Crow' Evans, an evil man who needs a computer chip to do evil things and who doesn't care how many cars he has to flip over to get it. There, you're up to speed – and that speed just happens to be TWO HUNDRED MILES PER HOUR.
