The Equalizer

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 25th September 2014

Waaaaay back in 2012, when everyone was losing their shit over why Tom Cruise was playing Jack Reacher despite being comically ill-suited to the role, I had a few alternative suggestions. The Rock. Daniel Craig. Idris Elba. But it never occurred to me: Denzel Washington. Of course. Denzel bloody Washington. The bloke can turn his hand to anything. Luckily, Hollywood is way smarter than I am, and has set straight this misstep in the form of The Equalizer, with two key differences. One, an increased level of violence and a higher certificate to match. And two, unlike Jack Reacher, it's really very good.

Kick-Ass 2

Movie Review | Ali | 15th August 2013

Remember the key word of superhero sequel The Dark Knight? Escalation. Christopher Nolan took the events of Batman Begins and used them as a foundation for the mayhem to come: how would Bruce Wayne's actions in the first movie affect the world in which he lived? Well, Kick-Ass 2 takes exactly the same approach by expanding its world, but somehow manages to feel smaller and less impressive as a result.

Dark Shadows

Movie Review | Matt | 10th May 2012

Time to break out the Tim Burton checklist then. Comedy-horror with supernatural elements? Check. Johnny Depp? Obvs. Score by Danny Elfman? Yuh-huh. Helena Bonham Carter? Of course. Pop culture retread? Yes. The time has long passed when one of Hollywood's most original directors has become a parody of himself. And as his once twisted gothic visuals have now given way to colourful cartoonish CGI, you have to ask "Damn - why didn't you make a vampire movie 15 years ago?"

Let Me In

Movie Review | Matt | 5th November 2010

Ugh, remakes. Am I right, guys? Take a perfectly good Swedish vampire film, strip the subtitles, gloss it up and re-release it for American audiences to cash in on the Twilight craze. Sound about right? Well no, actually we were all wrong. I was expecting to walk out of the cinema spitting vitriol at Let Me In's vast inferiority to the 2008 original (already cult favourite) film Let the Right One In, but this remake is actually pretty good. No, it's better than that - it's almost just as good.

Kick-Ass

Movie Review | Ali | 2nd April 2010

It's evil. It's twisted. It revels in the abuse of children. But enough about The Daily Mail. Kick-Ass is finally here, and I'm glad to report it's an absolute pleasure to watch; an orgiastic marriage of superhero action and teen comedy that manages to be exciting, funny and, above all, original. It's a tabloid-worthy clich', but it happens to be true in this case: you have never seen a movie like Kick-Ass.

(500) Days Of Summer

Movie Review | Ali | 30th August 2009

Ever been in love? Ever had your heart broken? Ever spent over 48 hours in nothing but your dressing gown, surrounded by empty bowls of cereal and tissues and bottles of whisky? Then you'll relate to (500) Days Of Summer.
