  • Films on TV round-up: families of all kinds

    TV Feature | Kirsty Harrison | 25th September 2011

    Another week, another selection of X-Men related movies on ITV2. Thankfully, there are other channels and many, many other films to watch. I haven't got a lot of time to waste talking about them, as Ryan Reynolds' M&S adverts aren't going to watch themselves. So let's go, chop chop!

  • Saturday smackdown: Killer Elite 2011 vs The Killer Elite 1975

    Movie Feature | Luke | 25th June 2011

    Kick! Punch! It's all in the mind! Renowned Prince of Subtlety Jason Statham will be exploding all over cinemas this September, in Killer Elite. But it's not the first time the title has seen used, with Sam Peckinpah beating him to it by over 35 years. So which film is the most elitist? There's only one way to find out... fiiiight!

  • Films on TV round-up: stand-up comics and stand-up rows

    TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 12th June 2011

    Angelina Jolie, Robert De Niro, Ray Winstone and Kathy Burke. I know what you're thinking: Bucks Fizz tribute band, right? Wrong. It's this week's weekly round-up of the week's films that we do each week. Weekly. And, arguably, weakly.

  • Limitless

    Movie Review | Rob | 20th March 2011

    You can approach Limitless in one of two ways. Treat it like a psychological, drug-fuelled thriller, or be immature and look at it as the most sensible, subdued superhero film going. No surprises for guessing how I chose to take it...

  • 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.

    Fuck me.

  • Scorsese wants Pacino and De Niro as Sinatra and Dino

    Movie News | Ali | 25th May 2010

    Martin Scorsese is going old school to cast his long-awaited Frank Sinatra biopic: he allegedly wants Al Pacino to play Ol' Blue Eyes, with Bobby De Niro as li'l ol' wine drinker Dean Martin.

  • What Just Happened

    Movie Review | Rob | 3rd December 2008

    Hunter S. Thompson once said, "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench; a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." Exchange 'music' for 'movie' - as Bruce Willis does here - and this famed quote sums up this latest Robert De Niro/Barry Levin...

  • Righteous Kill

    Movie Review | Ali | 5th October 2008

    "Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets." Travis Bickle, Taxi Driver, 1976. Thirty odd years later and Robert De Niro has finally taken those words to heed in Righteous Kill, playing a crooked cop dishing out street justice to evil-doers alongside fellow crusader Al Pacino in a match-up that's had f...

  • Why I Hate... Robert De Niro

    Movie Feature | Ali | 13th July 2005

    I've been told it's always good to start with a joke: Q. What's fat, old, rich and rubbish? A. Robert De Niro. Fair enough, it's not funny. But then neither is Robert De Niro. Over the last decade, the once great actor's career has been reduced to a joke, a fluffed punchline that's fallen flat and left only a ringing si...
