  • Cockneys vs Zombies

    Movie Review | Matt | 28th August 2012

    Sounds terrible, doesn’t it? A mockney caper that simultaneously tries to jump on the already-slowing zombie bandwagon and capitalise on the superdumb ‘versus’ titles. It’s high concept, low denominator and, as a result, the film should be a straight-to-DVD release destined to languish on some supermarket shelf for one week only. Well, prepare to be SHOCKED TO YOUR VERY CORE. Or just prepare to be mildly surprised: It’s actually pretty good.

  • Cemetery Junction

    Movie Review | Ali | 16th April 2010

    Ricky Gervais goes serious? Hmm. I love The Office, I love Extras and I love Ricky full stop (it's the laugh). But as his career wheel has started turning and the David Brent act has worn thin, Gervais clearly has his eye on the long game - that means cutting back on comic exasperation and showing himself capable of something with soul. Hence Cemetery Junction, Ricky Gervais and Steven Merchant's first directorial effort; a coming-of-age comedy set in Gervais' home town.
