Cars 3

Movie Review | Matt Looker | 10th July 2017

As someone who has barely seen the first Cars, and who actively and selfishly steers his son away from knowing that a sequel even exists simply because I’ve heard it’s not very good, I am clearly not the best person on the Shiznit staff to review this film. No, that honour goes to Ali, who, for the past two years, has an unfinished article sitting in the site admin area entitled "What I've learned from Cars 2 after watching it 200 times". Yet, here I am, ready to impart my own unique viewpoint on the latest instalment of Pixar’s most-derided franchise. You ready? Here goes: It’s… alright?

The Internship

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 1st July 2013

The pre-jump: this is the bit of the review Luke tells me I should pepper with SEO-friendly keywords to get us as high up the Google search results as possible. Given that the algorithm will have been tweaked to suppress anything remotely negative, we'll need to employ some trickery. So the internship positive review vince vaughn brilliant owen wilson really funny google is ace.

Hall Pass red-band trailer: men be lovin' them some sex!

Movie Trailer | Ali | 18th February 2011

You'd think Owen Wilson's character wouldn't need to bother finding someone willing to have sex with him with that giant hand of his.

Little Fockers

Movie Review | Rob | 26th December 2010

Don't be fooled, the Focker sprogs appear merely as an excuse to make the title sound rude and to fuel a few recycled gags. Little Fockers is otherwise business as usual: good ol' family feudin' whilst Bob De Niro piles another layer of dirt onto the coffin that is his dying career. And for giggles, he drags Harvey Keitel down with him. Martin Scorsese must be very disappointed.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Movie Review | Anna | 26th October 2009

Wes Anderson has always combined the neuroticism of Woody Allen with the visual flair of Michel Gondry to examine an assortment of fucked up families. Not exactly a winning formula for a kid's film, so it was a surprising move for Anderson to turn his attention to Roald Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox. It shouldn't, but the melding of the over-active imaginations of Dahl and Anderson just about works.

Marley & Me

Movie Review | Ali | 11th March 2009

Rather like how Jennifer Aniston 'comedy' The Break-Up wasn't actually a comedy at all, the former Friend is heading up another fake-out - sold as a warm and bright shaggy rom-com, Marley & Me is actually a thoroughly depressing drama following man, woman and hound as they grow old together. Cat people likely won't give two smal...

Drillbit Taylor

Movie Review | Ali | 26th March 2008

With comedy guru Judd Apatow on production duty and stoner du jour Seth Rogen credited as a co-writer, you might think this movie is a surefire smash: the last film that boasted those credentials made around $120 million. Unfortunately, Drillbit Taylor merely serves to represent the moment the 'Geek Clique' juggernaut hit its fi...

The Darjeeling Limited

Movie Review | Ali | 18th November 2007

Wes Anderson is one divisive dude. For every person who sees his movies as kitsch odysseys where dysfunctional families trade witty insults to an ultra-hip indie soundtrack, there's someone shrugging their shoulders, wondering why everyone is getting so excited by a scarf-wearing ponce making films about unbearably twee assholes...
