Amber Heard

News, Reviews & Features
  • The Danish Girl

    Movie Review | Matt Looker | 3rd January 2016

    Put down the plastic lightsabers and sweep the Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma toy figures from your desks. Unfortunately, we can no longer simply indulge in the delightfully familiar screech of a new TIE Fighter, or marvel at the warm, welcoming visual hug of grizzled wookiee hair. No, now we have to consider character arcs and nuanced acting and fucking lighting, because there's no escaping it: awards season is all we have for the next couple of months. So let’s try to move on from Star Wars if we can. I know it is still all anyone is talking about and it looks set to be the highest grossing movie of all time, etc, etc but let's try to refrain from thinking about it at all for now and instead talk about Eddie Redmayne’s er… new hope for Oscar success.

  • Machete Kills

    Movie Review | Luke Whiston | 11th October 2013

    So where are we at with Mel Gibson? Poor old racist, misogynist, anti-semitic, fly-off-the-handle Mel - have we forgiven him? I only ask because he's far and away the most entertaining thing about Machete Kills, yet I'm not sure if I laughed at his antics for genuine LOL-worthy reasons, or because of some weird residual fascination after that time he called a policewoman "sugar tits" and became one of Hollywood's most reliable loons for a while. Can it be both? For what is essentially a one-note joke, Machete Kills is full of questions.

  • Competition: Win The Ward on DVD

    Movie Competition | Ali | 17th October 2011

    Hey stupid, do you want a free DVD? You do? Then enter this competition, idiot! Finally, my new superliminal approach to blogging yields results!

  • Grrrrrr! Win Drive Angry on DVD

    Movie Competition | Ali | 4th July 2011

    It's out on DVD today, but if you're a horrible, poor hobo without a penny to your name, you can win one of three copies of Drive Angry on DVD. Maybe you can sell them for crack if you win!

  • Drive Angry 3D

    Movie Review | Ali | 25th February 2011

    Remember when I said the 101 reasons to love Nicolas Cage feature would be the last thing we did on Nicolas Cage this week? I lied.

  • John Carpenter's still got it

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 8th January 2011

    Good news? John Carpenter is making movies again. Bad news? Prepare for possibly the worst trailer of the ENTIRE YEAR so far.

  • Zombieland

    Movie Review | Chris | 7th October 2009

    By now, every good movie nerd knows that it's not easy to strike the perfect balance between humour and horror, and the list of films that do it well is depressingly short. Well, now you can add Zombieland to the list.

  • Pineapple Express

    Movie Review | Ali | 14th September 2008

    "Dude... we should, like, make a movie about a couple of potheads. They witness a murder and, like, go on the run and are chased by bent cops and shit... then at the end, we give them loads of guns and they blow loads of shit up. It'd fucking rock... Pass the bong, dude." The stoner comedy: a movie usually conceived on drugs, fi...

  • All The Boys Love Mandy Lane

    Movie Review | Ali | 14th February 2008

    The teen slasher market is so damn saturated these days, you'd better have a hook if you want to catch my attention. It's clear from minute one that All The Boys Love Mandy Lane has nothing in its corner apart from an unfeasibly attractive lead in Amber Heard. Apparently the Weinsteins sliced and diced this picture over a year a...
