Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs

Movie Review | Steven | 1st July 2009

The first Ice Age was one of the first indicators that Pixar had some serious contenders in the animation department. Ice Age: The Meltdown came along soon after and proved that the busybodies at Fox were still a threat with a much improved sequel. Now, the whole gang is back for a third instalment of the animated franchise, tak...

Coraline

Movie Review | Ben | 7th May 2009

There's something deeply disturbing about button-eyes. Maybe it's the lack of reflection or emotion that leaves a certain 'deadness' about them. But if your Other Mother is more loving and attentive than your real mother, surely that's a good thing? Even if she has button eyes, right? Coraline (Fanning) is an adventurous but ...

Monsters Vs Aliens

Movie Review | Kirsty | 21st April 2009

Like so many brides to be, Susan Murphy's wedding day consisted of getting up early to be faffed and fluffed over; sneaking off to see her groom before the ceremony; being squished by a quantonium-laden meteorite and subsequently transformed into a 49-and-a-half-foot government secret codenamed Ginormica. It's a timeless tale. ...

Bolt

Movie Review | Ben | 2nd February 2009

In recent years, there have been two types of animated movie released by Disney. You have the Pixar movies, loved by all and heralded as works of genius; think WALL-E, Finding Nemo and Toy Story. Then, on the other hand, you have the rest of the crap. Think that's unfair? I give you The Wild and Chicken Little. Bolt, coming from...

Futurama: Into The Wild Green Yonder

Movie Review | Ali | 20th December 2008

With the release of this fourth and final feature-length movie, once again we come to the 'end' of Futurama as we know it. These days, TV shows never really die - they're just put on hiatus until outraged fans buy enough DVDs (come on Browncoats, resurrect Firefly!). But given the mixed reception these new releases have received...

Futurama: Bender's Game

Movie Review | Ali | 11th September 2008

Good news, everybody! Futurama's back! It's been a strange old scenario ever since the show was resurrected from TV Hell. Instead of another series of 22-minute episodes, Fox - in their infinite wisdom - recommissioned Futurama in the form of four feature-length DVDs, each of which are basically four episodes back to back (to be...

Space Chimps

Movie Review | Rob | 9th August 2008

In a computer-animated world where Pixar and Dreamworks are Kings, it can be tough for little guys like Vanguard Animation to get much of a look in. With the likes of WALL�E and Kung Fu Panda dominating the box office and holding parents to ransom over the school holidays, this cheap and charmless little film about monkeys in sp...

Kung Fu Panda

Movie Review | Rob | 6th July 2008

Dreamworks have always played second fiddle to the almighty Pixar, churning out mostly second-rate films when compared to the Nemos and Ratatouilles of the world. Kung Fu Panda, though, may just make Andrew Stanton and friends worry that they have some serious competition. It goes without saying that the visuals are astounding -...

Ratatouille

Movie Review | Ali | 19th October 2007

Even the greatest performers slip up sometimes. Babe Ruth would quite often swing and miss. Pele, on occasion, would struggle to hit a barn door. Tiger Woods has been known to make a spaz of himself. And so, to bring this laboured metaphor to its conclusion, we come to Pixar - the big hitters of the animation industry. Their bat...

The Simpsons Movie

Movie Review | Ali | 31st July 2007

My name is Ali, and I'm a Simpsons apologist. I watch maybe ten or twelve episodes a week and I laugh until I'm sick. I know it's bad for me to get so close to a mere TV show but I just can't help it. People have tried to help me in the past: "Try Family Guy!" they said, "Try South Park!" But they just made me love the Simpsons ...
