Has Eddie Murphy come to his senses?

Has Eddie Murphy come to his senses?
Eddie Murphy is back on the scene, but wait - it's not Imagine That 2: The Reimagining. It's a R-rated movie! That's good, right? It's called The Misadventures Of Fluffy and features talking animals. (*packs bags*)

Review: Adventureland

Adventureland
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.

Review: G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra

G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra
So here we have the next in line for the Hasbro toy-to-movie treatment, following on from the Transformers films and then probably exhausting all other brands until we get a live-action trilogy of My Little Pony Vs Hungry Hungry Hippos. Like the Transformers movies, G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra is pitched as a fun, action-packed,...

Review: Land Of The Lost

Land Of The Lost
Hollywood is fascinated with making movies from old TV shows. There’s nothing wrong with that – we all enjoyed the Star Trek, Jackass and South Park movies, right? But when rubbish TV shows are rewarded with their own rubbish movies, there's something not quite right. Get Smart? Dukes of Hazzard? Lost In Sodding Space, starring ...

Review: Terminator Salvation

Terminator Salvation
Terminator Salvation is explosive – not in the sense that it'll blow your mind, more in the sense that it'll burst your eardrums. Pound for pound, it features more explosions than any other movie I've seen – there's literally something detonating or collapsing or being shot or catching fire every 30 seconds. Even in quiet scenes...

Review: Star Trek

Star Trek
Let's play a little game of word association. If I said 'majestic', 'enjoyable' and 'meaningful', you wouldn't think Star Trek, right? No. But if I said 'lazy', 'predictable' and 'dull'.... well, that's Star Trek down to a tee – at least, that's how it's been for the past decade and a half. Of late, Star Trek has been a poten...

Review: The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor

The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor
It's hard to see any reason why this entirely unnecessary Mummy threequel got the green light, other than the fact that Indiana Jones was also pencilled in for a summer return – and where there are coattails to be ridden, you'll find Stephen Sommers. The director's first two Mummy movies were guilty pleasures of sorts; harmless,...

Review: Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D

Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D
This isn’t a direct remake of the classic Jules Verne tale that we all know and love (I for one had a cracking animated version of it on video when I was younger. It was bloody fantastic). Instead, it’s a bang up-to-date story of a familiar journey that features mobile phones, PSPs and Google, referencing the original story in d...

Review: Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull
16 July, 1999. The queue for the cinema spills out into the car park. Crowds jostle with energy and a sense of adventure. The screen is packed to capacity, a quick glance revealing the audience to be a cross-section of both males and females, young and old. The lights go down to giggles at first and finally, respectfully, an awe...

Ten Things We Demand From Indy IV

Ten Things We Demand From Indy IV
Dear Steven Spielberg, First of all, thanks for taking the time to read this – we know you have a busy schedule of prepping Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull for its May release, plus we appreciate that snubbing international superpowers can really take it out of you. But we have concerns about you bringing b...
