  • Allied

    Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 21st November 2016

    Brad Pitt, I have decided, is too handsome. My reaction to more or less anything he does on screen these days is instinctively: "Yeah, but this character wouldn't look like that. No one does." In Allied, which is fine and all that but a bit daft, he marries Marion Cotillard while looking amazing then grows suspicious she is a spy while looking amazing, and I can't shake the feeling that all of this looking amazing is part of a comfort zone out of which he's unprepared to step.

  • Stoker

    Movie Review | Neil | 25th February 2013

    Poor old Park Chan-wook. One minute you're the director of the blistering Sympathy For Mr Vengeance and Oldboy, the next you're the director of I'm A Cyborg, But That's OK and Thirst. What to do to regain your former prowess? The answer, obviously, is to make a new film in a language other than your own, from a script by a Prison Break actor, which on the surface looks like a remake of a beloved Hitchcock classic. What could possibly go wrong?

  • New Stoker trailer features worst burn in history of movies

    Movie News | Ali | 27th September 2012




    Seriously, guy. That doesn't even make sense. Shitty insults aside, Chan-wook-Park's Stoker looks pretty great. (Full trailer here).

  • Matthew Goode rumoured for Zack Snyder's Superman

    Movie News | Ali | 22nd November 2010

    Because that rumour machine won't keep shovelling shit into itself!

  • Leap Year actor says Leap Year sucks

    Movie News | Ali | 24th February 2010

    Actor Matthew Goode has laid into his new movie a few days before it's even opened in cinemas. Like you were going to go and see it anyway.

  • A Single Man

    Movie Review | Anna | 16th February 2010

    Did everyone in the 1960s walk around with perfectly bouffanted hair, expertly lined eyes, a martini glass poised in one hand and a cigarette hanging artfully from the other, chattering about the Cuban missile crisis? We, the modern audience, would like to think so and Tom Ford is only too happy to indulge us. Consequently, A Single Man has an unreal, dreamlike quality to it - this is life through a Vaseline smeared lens, the 1960s as seen in a vintage Vogue magazine.

  • Amy Adams in Leap Year movie trailer

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 14th November 2009

    Dear Amy Adams. Please do not appear in any more terrible romcoms. If you do not consider changing your course of action, I will be forced to stop stalking you. Yours, Mr X. P.S. You are almost out of mustard.

  • Watchmen

    Movie Review | Ali | 26th February 2009

    Dear Alan Moore, Hi. How are you? We hope Northampton is nice this time of year. I mean, obviously it's not, but unlike Zack Snyder, at least we're aware that it isn't in London. In fact, that Snyder fellow is the reason we're writing to you. We're sure you're aware his adaptation of your timeless graphic novel Watchmen is ab...

  • Brideshead Revisited

    Movie Review | Anna | 6th October 2008

    And so, Brideshead has once again been revisited. The tale of crumbling aristocracy, Catholic fanaticism and a magnificently dysfunctional family in the days before everyone was trotting off to therapy. Charles Ryder (Goode), "a painter from Paddington", is mesmerised by charismatic Sebastian Flyte (Whishaw) when th...
