  • Adventureland

    Movie Review | Matt | 13th September 2009

    Chances are, you had a crap job when you were younger. One where you resented every second you had to stack a shelf or greet a customer, but one where you had good friends, bad relationships and as many laughs as you had woes. Looking back now, it probably seems like a wonderfully complicated time. Welcome to Adventureland.

  • The Proposal

    Movie Review | Rich | 27th July 2009

    The Proposal is a strange film. It's exactly what you'd expect of an update to Gérard Depardieu's Green Card and yet for every occasion when it complies with one of the inevitable clichés demanded by its genre, there's a moment of subtle character development that implies that its creators really should be producing a stronger p...

  • X-Men Origins: Wolverine

    Movie Review | Ali | 27th April 2009

Who the fuck needs dialogue? The original teaser trailer for Joe Ca...

  • Waiting...

    Movie Review | Stuart | 15th September 2006

    Kevin Smith may very well have pissed all over the chips of Waiting before it was even served up as a movie. One can almost picture the pitch to the studio: "It's kinda like that Clerks movie. Only it's set in a restaurant. And it's in colour." They may not have added "Only it's not going to be as funny. Or as twisted. Even tho...

  • The Amityville Horror

    Movie Review | Ali | 10th May 2005

    Michael Bay's at it again, plucking another horror movie from the 1970's and giving it a 21st Century makeover. Following on from the passable reworking of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror gets the remake treatment. But Amityville is a very different type of movie to Chainsaw - it's a slow-burner and a more psy...
