  • Films on TV round-up: violent offenders and goodwill to all men-ders

    TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 19th December 2011

    It's finally here. For those anxiously awaiting their official excuses to sit round the TV and stop talking to each other on Christmas Day once they've run out of conversation with their aunts, herewith the films on TV round-up for the festive period.

  • The Dark Knight Rises trailer, with no analysis or humourous comments

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 19th December 2011

    After the jump is the latest trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, with absolutely no insight or humourous comment attached. Just the trailer and a few words either side. It's really good. You should watch it.

  • Warrior

    Movie Review | Ali | 19th September 2011

    At a glance, Warrior looks like just another scrapper drama – dudes get into fights, one emerges victorious, life lessons are learned along the way, someone angling for a poster quote compares it to Raging Bull and we all go home with our bloodlust slaked. Shortlist's poster quote – "All the Rockys rolled into one!" – reads more like a back-handed compliment than an enthusiastic recommendation. As it unfolds, however, Warrior reveals itself to be more than just a brainless slugger – like the best boxing movies, it's able to utterly wrap you up in the moment and have you punching the air come its conclusion. Oh, and Warrior doesn't just have punching... it has kicking, too. Face kicking.

  • Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

    Movie Review | Matt | 13th September 2011

    As much as I would like to believe that real-life spies jet around the world using their blow-dart pens and laser watches to prevent megalomaniacs from stealing Fiji, this film is probably closer to the truth. John Le Carré’s double agent vision (based on his own experiences working for the intelligence services) tells a less dynamic tale of political decisions, uneasy alliances and lots of sizing people up. And instead of a simple mission involving a casino, a volcano lair and a henchmen fight, this authentic spy-work is complicated as fuck.

    I bet £10 on Rob Schneider playing the Penguin and Jennifer Aniston playing Poison Ivy. Find out if I was right, after the jump.

  • 9 movie mumblers who still have clearer diction than Bane

    Movie Feature | Ali | 4th January 2011

    Debate is STILL ongoing on whether or not Christopher Nolan has cleaned up Bane's incomprehensible dialogue in The Dark Knight Rises: some say new scenes are crisper, others say he's more mumbly than ever. One thing is for sure, the following nine guys - even with their very different speech impediments - are still easier to follow than Bane.

  • Tom Hardy cast in Batman 3

    Movie News | Ali | 13th October 2010

    Chris Nolan isn't afraid to dream a little bigger, dahling: he's just cast Inception star Tom Hardy in his new Bat-chap flick.

  • Inception

    Movie Review | Matt | 10th July 2010

    Christopher Nolan is one stealthily clever bastard. While we've all been gasping at jaw-dropping trailers and trying to glean meaning from mind-boggling posters, the actual plot for Inception has remained relatively under wraps. Oh sure, it's a heist movie involving dreams, and you could always guarantee that Nolan would deliver a hefty dose of headfuckery with this subject matter, but you can check your assumptions in at the door - this is a film that defies all your expectations except for one: it is a work of genius.
