  • Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

    Movie Review | Becky Suter | 13th September 2015

    At two hours and 11 minutes, The Scorch Trials should have been a pretty meaty filler in the YA sandwich that is Maze Runner. But like its stablemates The Hunger Games and Divergent, once all the scene-setting and introduction to the new dystopian world has been done, we're just trying to munch straight through to the good stuff.

  • Vicky Cristina Barcelona

    Movie Review | Ali | 4th February 2009

    As movie bylines go, 'A Film By Woody Allen' doesn't exactly scream sex. Sure, the New York neurotic has made it his life's work to dissect and devolve the physical act of love, but usually with all the romanticism of a side-burned sex-education video presenter, quizzically pointing out its bemusing affect on those who lust afte...

    Movie Review | Ali | 17th March 2008

    Lars Lindstrom has a new girlfriend: she's slim, sexy - a real doll. The only problem is... she's a real doll!
