Couples Retreat

Movie Review | Matt | 15th October 2009

It's been 13 years since Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn first showed us the "money" in Swingers, and each collaboration in the meantime hasn't quite measured up to that exceptional debut. Can Couples Retreat finally live up to expectations? Unfortunately, no - it's good, but it's not on the money.

The Invention Of Lying

Movie Review | Ali | 27th September 2009

Ricky Gervais went about making his way in Hollywood the right way. He refused to appear in Any Old Comedy and stated he was looking to build a long-term career in movies - he wasn't just out to make a quick buck. Of course, all that went out the window when he called so-so supernatural comedy Ghost Town, "One of the best scripts I've ever read," then shopped himself around town in a series of cameos for best friends Ben Stiller and Christopher Guest. Hardly the hard graft he spoke of.

Movie Review | Kirsty | 26th April 2009

Let's say for argument's sake that Paul Abbott's 2003 mini-series State Of Play wasn't watched by everyone, and that many people will be coming to Kevin Macdonald's complex thriller completely cold, with no prior knowledge. Sitting comfortably? Let's begin. Cal McAfferey (Crowe), an old school investigative journalist for the...

Hancock

Movie Review | Ali | 28th June 2008

Holy shit, Batman! An original superhero story! No stigma attached; no fanboy preconceptions; no bitching about bad casting; no in-built audience to pander to. Just an honest to Zod, original idea for a film about a superhero that's not ripped from the pages of a comic or a TV show or a website or a painting or a dirty limerick....

Juno

Movie Review | Ali | 7th February 2008

No one likes a wiseass, but give Juno MacGuff a chance. The sass-talking star of Jason Reitman's follow-up to Thank You For Smoking is a sixteen year-old smarty-pants who looks like a schoolgirl but talks like a scriptwriter, and she saves her film from becoming just another Little Miss Sunshine schmaltz-fest. Boasting a sharp-t...

The Break-Up

Movie Review | Ali | 30th July 2006

Not all of us can claim to have crashed weddings, hosted a sorority in our house or entered a Dodgeball tournament, but it's probably fair to say most of us have gone through a break-up of some sort. The harsh words yelled in anger, the resulting fallout and the awkward attempts at reconciliation that follow; not exactly the be...
