Review: Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is low on laughs but makes a bold statement

Movie Review | Luke Whiston | 13th August 2020

I hate the Eurovision Song Contest. I hate the blinding shiny lights and the garish tackiness - it's what I imagine dropping acid in a Claire's Accessories would be like. I hate the awkward jokes and the hosts bumbling their way through, clearly wishing they were anywhere else. I hate the smugly sly politicisation, even if it is often an accurate and honest representation of feeling towards us and our continental neighbours. I hate the forced laughter. I hate the constant smiling. But most of all I hate the songs. Yes, I hate it. I hate the Eurovision Song Contest because I hate myself and can't admit that it is in fact FUCKING BRILLIANT!

Brosnan's Holiday: How Pierce likes to mix business with leisure

Movie Feature | Ali Gray | 21st April 2014

Though I'm duty bound to pay him the amount of respect any ex-Bond is due, prepare yourselves for a theory that will change the way you look about Pierce Brosnan and the movies he makes. Sneak preview: it almost feels like he's not acting entirely for the love of the art-form.

Films on TV round-up: Licence to Spiel(berg)

TV Feature | Matt Looker | 18th September 2011

FACT: films on TV are better than films on DVD. All they take is a simple remote click as opposed to going to all the trouble of inserting a disc, and they often come with those handy loo breaks, which in no way disrupt narrative flow.

The Ghost

Movie Review | Anna | 18th April 2010

Polanski's first film in five years has been met with a very mixed response. Little White Lies said "the whole movie is actually Polanski being, well, shit." The Guardian, however, considers the movie to be Polanski's "most purely enjoyable film for years." I'm going to have to embrace my inner Lib Dem and come down squarely in the middle with a solid-but-not-mind-blowing three stars.

Remember Me

Movie Review | Zach | 8th April 2010

Yes, I do remember you. You're that pale mopey kid in those necrophilia movies right? Yeah that's right, I thought so. Trying to venture out of the fantasy genre and into a role that might actually require some acting? Well good luck man, I'm sure that loyal fan base of yours will follow you anywhere.

Mamma Mia!

Movie Review | Ali | 21st July 2008

If the words 'ABBA medley' conjure up images of Alan Partridge Aha-ing his way through an ill-advised TV duet, then this meticulously-crafted jukebox of disco hits might be enough to change your mind. Adapted from the stage musical - which has raked in over $2 billion in just under ten years - it's a winning mix of feel good flo...

The Matador

Movie Review | Ali | 21st March 2006

What with all the clinical headshots, fatal stabbings and car-bomb murders, sometimes we lose sight of an important message: hitmen are people too. The first Austin Powers movie made us aware of the day-to-day struggle of the average henchman, and now The Matador has come along to cast light on the life of a contract killer. I...
