Robot & Frank

Movie Review | Rob | 7th March 2013

So it was back in December when I saw Jake Schreier's slightly futuristic indie debut. (*glances at calendar*) And, as I write this, it's now March. That's some work-rate, huh.

Win Malcolm in the Middle season one on DVD

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 24th September 2012

Sin City

Movie Review | Pand | 19th April 2005

Sin City is the latest attempt to bring a successful comic to the big screen, and damn, if it isn't the yardstick that all future movies following this route should take. It's not so much a movie of a comic as the comic itself in movie form. Robert Rodriguez and author Frank Miller, together with "guest director" Quent...
