  • No Strings Attached

    Movie Review | Ali | 2nd March 2011

    I'm not about to make apologies for No Strings Attached - it's a soulless movie with zero charm and almost no merits; a film which, if deleted from existence, wouldn't even make the smallest ripple in the space-time continuum. However, speaking from Natalie Portman's point of view, I can understand why she made it. After 12 months of hardcore ballet training for Black Swan, she just wanted to slum it. Acting opposite Ashton Kutcher is the equivalent of dropping down a year in school for someone like her.

  • Thor! Thor! THOR!

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 18th February 2011

    In which Kenneth Branagh, cunning linguist and Shakespeare mouthpiece, resorts to showcasing topless hunks and telling Facebook jokes. This thucks.

  • Black Swan

    Movie Review | Ali | 24th January 2011

    How to describe Black Swan? Ballet-based lesbionic headfuck just about does it - there certainly aren't too many pigeon holes you can bash this particular peg into. Though it touches on a number of genres and encapsulates several themes, Black Swan is best viewed as a horror movie - a slow creep into insanity that's touching and terrifying in equal measure.

  • Brothers

    Movie Review | Kirsty | 24th January 2010

    Is it just me, or has there not been a good comedy out in months? Thanks very much, Oscar season, for a series of thoughtful, harrowing dramas that put you right off your popcorn in the harsh, cold light of day. Yeah gang, let's all go to the movies on a Friday night! That'll be fun! (*sigh*)

  • Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan just got interesting

    Movie News | Ali | 21st August 2009

    Though you shouldn't need any extras reason to be excited about the new film from the director of The Wrestler, how about a little girl-on-girl action? It's true what they say: lesbian sex really brightens up a ballet story.

  • V For Vendetta

    Movie Review | Ali | 24th March 2006

    "What we need right now is a clear message to the people of this country. This message must be read in every newspaper, heard on every radio, seen on every television. I want this country to realise that we stand on the edge of oblivion. I want everyone to remember why they need us!" The words here are being spoken, nay, bark...

  • Closer

    Movie Review | Ali | 22nd June 2005

    Four painfully attractive people meet each other and proceed to jump into each other's beds like an inter-continental gang bang - on paper, Closer sounds awful, like one of those British films starring a Fiennes brother where you want each and every person involved to suffer a horrible and torturous death. However, on film, Clo...
