    Movie Review | Matt Looker | 10th July 2017

    As someone who has barely seen the first Cars, and who actively and selfishly steers his son away from knowing that a sequel even exists simply because I’ve heard it’s not very good, I am clearly not the best person on the Shiznit staff to review this film. No, that honour goes to Ali, who, for the past two years, has an unfinished article sitting in the site admin area entitled "What I've learned from Cars 2 after watching it 200 times". Yet, here I am, ready to impart my own unique viewpoint on the latest instalment of Pixar’s most-derided franchise. You ready? Here goes: It’s… alright?

  • The Internship

    Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 1st July 2013

    The pre-jump: this is the bit of the review Luke tells me I should pepper with SEO-friendly keywords to get us as high up the Google search results as possible. Given that the algorithm will have been tweaked to suppress anything remotely negative, we'll need to employ some trickery. So the internship positive review vince vaughn brilliant owen wilson really funny google is ace.

  • Hall Pass red-band trailer: men be lovin' them some sex!

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 18th February 2011

    You'd think Owen Wilson's character wouldn't need to bother finding someone willing to have sex with him with that giant hand of his.

  • Cars 2 teaser trailer revs engine

    Movie Trailer | Ali | 20th October 2010

    It holds the dubious title of Worst Pixar Film Ever, but Cars is nonetheless getting a sequel, and you can see the first teaser trailer here.

    Hey, that rhymes! Earth to Meekus!

  • Drillbit Taylor

    Movie Review | Ali | 26th March 2008

    With comedy guru Judd Apatow on production duty and stoner du jour Seth Rogen credited as a co-writer, you might think this movie is a surefire smash: the last film that boasted those credentials made around $120 million. Unfortunately, Drillbit Taylor merely serves to represent the moment the 'Geek Clique' juggernaut hit its fi...

  • Night At The Museum

    Movie Review | Ali | 28th December 2006

    Boxing day; not a day traditionally associated with boxing by any means, or indeed any physical activity of the sort. No, in my borough, the day after Christmas is spent slumped on the sofa, consuming whatever's left of the family's confectionary, picking ones arse, and, if you're feeling especially adventurous, keeping the eye...

  • You, Me And Dupree

    Movie Review | Ali | 21st July 2006

    You, Me And Dupree is a film that is almost instantly forgettable. Even now, a few hours after watching it, I'm struggling to remember character names - it's that slight. It must suck to be part of a film that, while you know it's not 100% awful by any means, is completely and totally average in every way. It'll have a limite...

  • Wedding Crashers

    Movie Review | Ali | 17th July 2005

    Reasons why real life isn't as good as the movies #47: Weddings. Example? Sunday - I go to see Wedding Crashers, starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson as two irresponsible bachelors who crash weddings to pick up chicks and get laid. In this movie, weddings are awash with attractive, vulnerable, slutty young girls, raucous mus...

  • Starsky & Hutch

    Movie Review | Ali | 6th September 2004

    Pre-conceptions at the ready everyone, it's another needless remake of a seventies TV show that no one asked for, needs or is willing to tolerate. Or is it? While film purists may scoff at a big screen outing for the cardigan-wearing cops and claim it represents yet another nail in the coffin for original movie making, the res...
