This Is The End

Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 24th June 2013

Here's my micro-version of The Superman Project: I had no idea This Is The End existed until I got an email about the screening, and went in cold. Where my experience differs is that Ali did it deliberately; it only happened to me because my finger is laughably far from the pulse.

This Is The End quickly makes you forget its self-indulgent premise and wins you over by virtue of simply being very, very funny.

Movie Review | Rob | 2nd January 2012

But when has logic stood in the way of uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer?

Movie Review | Rob | 10th June 2010

Please, stop me if you've heard all this before. An average guy meets an attractive woman, to the utter jealously of his buddies. However, because they love him, they want to help him and we as the audience feel we can relate to at least one of the core characters.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice trailer: Nicolas Cage less crazy

Movie Trailer | Matt | 9th December 2009

Nic Cage does magic! It's like some kind of weird-but-wonderful crazy-assed Paul Daniels. Watch the trailer after the jump. You'll like it... not a lot, but you'll like it.
