Review: Project X

When I remember the house parties I went to in my teens, I can only really recall people vomiting, broken household objects and people attempting dangerous physical pursuits. They weren't epic by any means, but they were reckless affairs fuelled by crippling amounts and combinations of alcohol, and often resulting in shame, guilt and remorse the next day. And yet, I will maintain to this day that I had an awesome time at those parties. So it is with Project X.

In pictures: 7 possible plots for The Hangover: Part III

Hollywood's most talented writers are already hard at work doing a find and replace on the script for The Hangover: Part III. Maybe they'll find some inspiration from our possible plot devices.

Review: The Hangover: Part II

"It happened again..." groans Bradley Cooper down the phone in The Hangover: Part II's opening scene. "Worse than you can even imagine." Woah.

Well, I don't think any of us saw that coming. Obviously you will now, but... y'know, it was surprising to me at least.

Trailer: Due Date is The Hangover-iest movie since The Hangover

First trailer for Todd Phillips' new comedy, and guess what: it's mismatched oddball road trip tiiiime!

Review: The Hangover

Rather like how the consequences of violence are rarely shown on film, nor are the consequences of heavy boozing - sure, there are countless famous movie drunks, but when was the last time you saw a 'morning after' movie? Perhaps it's because having a protagonist spend 90 minutes on the toilet isn't much fun; perhaps it's becaus...

Review: Starsky & Hutch

Pre-conceptions at the ready everyone, it's another needless remake of a seventies TV show that no one asked for, needs or is willing to tolerate. Or is it? While film purists may scoff at a big screen outing for the cardigan-wearing cops and claim it represents yet another nail in the coffin for original movie making, the res...
