300

Movie Review | Ali | 24th March 2007

I used to think I had a penis until I saw 300. Once in a while, a movie comes along that's so extraordinarily butch, it makes even the most pumped-up gym-jockeys look like spaghetti-armed girls. 300 is so manly, if I was to re-write this article, it would take up the top 15 slots all by itself. If you step back and view 300 f...

Ghost Rider

Movie Review | Ali | 12th March 2007

"Why doesn't the water put out his flames?" For a film about a man who becomes the Devil's own bounty hunter, complete with a flaming skull for a head and a pimped out motorbike, it's not perhaps the most pertinent question for the girlfriend to ask, but ask she did. The answer is because Ghost Rider is a comic-boo...

Eragon

Movie Review | Ali | 23rd December 2006

Nerds have been well catered for in cinemas in recent years. You've had Tolkien's Hobbit adventures, which have seen acne-scarred armies take over the multiplex; the Harry Potter films have had amateur magicians vigorously stroking their wands for years; even comic-book nerds have had their inkiest wank fantasies transferred to...

Aeon Flux

Movie Review | Ali | 2nd March 2006

Women: you really can't do anything properly, can you? Don't get me wrong, I like the way you sometimes wear your hair in pigtails, and there's no denying that you do a cracking roast of a Sunday, but when it comes to saving the world, you suck at it. Us men have to ask why you still bother, when we do such a good job at it - ...

The Brothers Grimm

Movie Review | Chris | 3rd September 2005

This is a very difficult review for me to write. The reason why has to do with the fact that I am a Terry Gilliam fanatic. I've seen every movie the guy has ever made, and I've managed to find something to love about each and every one of them (and yeah, that even includes The Adventures of Baron M�nchausen). The guy is a tru...

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

Movie Review | Ali | 16th May 2005

University has taught me well. One educational pearl that has been bestowed upon me by my journalism course thus far is this: before you start anything, plan what you're going to do first by writing down a few key words and phrases. Thank you very much higher education, I'd never have figured that out myself. Nonetheless, it's...

Heroes #1: Prince Vultan

Movie Feature | Gareth | 26th April 2005

Not many people can lay claim to having made a career out of shouting, but Brian Blessed is one of the sacred few who can. He's loud in that awful MacGyver TV movie, he pumps up the volume as Costner's daddy in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and he's louder still in Blackadder. Nothing can stand in the way of Blessed's bellowin...

Constantine

Movie Review | | 29th March 2005

Based on the cult DC/Vertigo comic Hellblazer, Constantine tells the story of an urban sorcerer (Keanu Reeves) helping a cop (Rachel Weisz) investigating her sister's apparent suicide. As a reader of issues 1-190, and a fan of the character in his various comic appearances from Swamp Thing and various other comic book cameos, I ...

The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King

Movie Review | Ali | 3rd January 2005

Bloody hell... where do you start? The final and most exciting chapter of the most ambitious trilogy ever committed to film is gazing down upon us like the eye of the Dark Lord himself - was there ever any chance that Return of the King was going to be rubbish? I can happily report that you were indeed correct in your assumpti...

Van Helsing

Movie Review | Ali | 14th September 2004

As far as tantalising taglines go, 'The new movie from the director of "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns"' must go down in history as one of the worst. Having already defecated on one classic horror franchise, Stephen Sommers is now attempting to breathe life into three, and all in the one picture. It's cer...
