  • An update on Taken 2, just because

    Movie News | Ali | 15th October 2011

    It's the movie that isn't The Avengers or all the other best films from next year that everyone's sort of talking about!

  • 5 ideas for things that could be 'taken' in Taken 2

    Movie Feature | Matt | 23rd March 2011

    This is assuming that Maggie Grace isn't dumb enough to get kidnapped by European, drug-pushing sex-traffickers again.

  • Unknown

    Movie Review | Rob | 2nd March 2011

    Who'd have thought Liam Neeson, a man nominated for an Oscar for Schindler's List, would now be earning his keep in action movies; he's beaten up Batman and shared the screen with a cage fighter who could barely string a plausible sentence together. And let's not forget, he knows his way around a lightsaber too...

  • The Next Three Days

    Movie Review | Ali | 23rd December 2010

    The Next Three Days is kind of a throwback to the classic action movies Hollywood put out in the mid-nineties - the 'one man versus the world' era of thrillers, in which lantern-jawed heroes like Harrison Ford or Mel Gibson fight to save their family against improbable odds and injustice. At one point, the lead character - a stoic, possibly stubbled everyman forced into action against his will - is likely to growl "Give me back my wife" or something, before killing eight thousand terrorists in the name of love. Brilliant.

  • Liam Neeson to play Battleship with Peter Berg

    Movie News | Chris | 8th September 2010

    "Hey, you sunk my career!"

  • Clash Of The Titans

    Movie Review | Matt | 5th April 2010

    The original Clash Of The Titans is one of those movies that many people remember fondly from their childhood and usually this is reason enough to swear off any kind of remake. This time, however, all eyes seem to be on how modern-day special effects can improve upon Ray Harryhausen's impressive (but, let's be honest, dated) efforts. Well, come out of retirement, Ray - your stop motion techniques are still preferable to soulless CGI and needless 3D.

  • Brand new trailer for The A-Team

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 2nd April 2010

    Verdict? Evil. Just kidding: it looks like great fun. If only it didn't sexualise children so much!

  • Chloe

    Movie Review | Christopher | 7th March 2010

    Chloe opens with a breathy voiceover, red nail varnish, a healthy amount of side-boob and the rolling down of suspenders in an indistinct, soft-focus boudoir. Boom: suddenly I'm a newly pubescent teenager and furtively renting Bruce Willis erotic embarrassment Color Of Night. A film that, even at that tender age of 14 (I developed late), I knew was crap. All I wanted was some porny thrills, not the shattering realisation that it was possible NOT to enjoy a film. This revelation was up right up there with finding out there's no Santa. (Thanks a lot Gremlins... Again, I developed late.)

  • Afterlife trailer: Christina Ricci is angry, sexy, possibly dead

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 4th March 2010

    Check out the new trailer for morbid horror thriller After.Life, the movie whose shitty title is just letting the punctuation terrorists win.

  • Ponyo

    Movie Review | Darren | 18th February 2010

    Spirited Away introduced a larger audience to the majestic works of Japanese anime genius Hayao Miyazaki, lifting the profile of the studio he founded, Studio Ghibli. Since then, the many magical yet ecologically conscious animated features within Miyazaki's impressive back catalogue - like Pom Poko and Nausicaa Valley Of The Wind - have been redistributed and are now readily available in high street stores.
