  • Marvel's Cine-CHAT-ic Universe: Ant-Man (2015)

    Movie Feature | Ali Gray, Matt Looker, Becky Suter, Ed Williamson, Luke Whiston | 8th May 2019

    This is it. This is the one where the wheels finally came off. 11 movies deep into the Marvel's Cine-CHAT-ic Universe feature, Ant-Man marks the occasion where everyone has officially lost interest in the concept, due to us being five years and ten movies out of step with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We didn't spoil the Endgame, the Endgame spoiled us.

  • Ant-Man And The Wasp

    Movie Review | Matt Looker | 18th July 2018

    How do you follow an epic tragedy in which the world’s biggest A-list stars traverse the universe facing the most dire of movie stakes? How do you continue after the bummer-cliffhanger of seeing an all-powerful despot succeed in his plan to mercilessly wipe out half of the entire universe? You bring the LOLs! It serves as welcome respite, but essentially Marvel has followed its most consequential movie with its least.

  • Ant-Man

    Movie Review | Matt Looker | 8th July 2015

    More than any of its other movies to date, it seems that Marvel has been really savvy with this film. After all, it has completely turned around our expectations. Remember when we were outraged at Edgar Wright leaving due to “creative differences”? Remember when we sharpened our caps-lock ready for whatever half-assed generic borefest followed? Slowly, but surely, Marvel have won us all over with some neat trailers, some fun marketing and the sheer force of Paul Rudd’s lovable charisma. If that wasn't proof enough that Marvel just know exactly what the fuck they are doing with what they have, the finished movie also happens be rather ace. And that is no small achievement.

  • Anchorman 2 poster: 60% of the time, the shadows work EVERY time

    SHADOWS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.

  • Prince Avalanche

    Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 17th October 2013

    The London Film Festival's in town, and that means one thing: arty stuff. Yes, lots of films about French people dicking about on windy beaches staring moodily at the horizon, or sitting in bedsits looking fed up for an hour and a half. Cracking. Here's one: Prince Avalanche. It's about these two blokes, right, and they're in the woods, and they don't talk to each other much. Now this is what a film festival's all ab... wait a sec, it's not playing at the festival? Has anyone told them?

  • Merry fucking Christmas!

    All Is Bright poster

    1) Why have they crossed out the word 'bright' and replaced it with the word 'bright'? 2) Why is a Christmas film coming out in September? 3) Why am I questioning a buddy comedy where Paul Giamatti and Paul Rudd channel the Wet Bandits? All Is Bright looks great. (poster via IMP Awards)

    UPDATE: Ali has pointed out the scribbled out text says 'bullshit'. Therefore ignore me, I am an idi-oh you already have.

  • This Is 40

    Movie Review | Matt | 19th January 2013

    I’m getting old. Nights of drinking snakebite and being 'that guy' picking up guitars at house parties have been replaced with evenings of visiting friends with new babies and picking out paint samples with my wife. Before long, I’ll be chatting to perfect strangers at bus stops, marvelling at how Easter has come early this year. My only hope is that, while my body gradually deteriorates and I slowly chip away at the planet-sized boulder that is my mortgage, I can still find time to occasionally be just like Paul Rudd.

  • Why does nobody like Leslie Mann?

    Movie Feature | Rob | 27th October 2012

    Leslie Mann is, by all accounts, a happily married mother of two, who occasionally appears in husband Judd Apatow's films, usually playing the mother of her own kids. She has a happy family, life is good. Then how come whenever she's on screen, everyone always hates her?

  • Weird how Paul Rudd was in Friends before he was Paul Rudd

    TV Video | Ed Williamson | 12th April 2012

    When Paul Rudd started doing movies I was like, Shit, there's Phoebe's husband from Friends doing movies. Now when I see him in Friends I'm like, Shit, Paul Rudd was in Friends.

  • Paul Rudd officially tired of Jennifer Aniston's shit

    Movie Feature | Ben | 27th December 2011

    Fancy sitting through another Jennifer Aniston comedy in which she goes on an emotional journey of discovery? No? Neither does Paul Rudd, in our new, some might say 'improved' poster for Wanderlust.
