The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn

Movie Review | Ali | 16th October 2011

Despite a directorial career that spans – holy shit, 40 years? – The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn is Steven Spielberg's first animated film. Techniques have come and gone over the years, barriers have been broken, box-office records and preconceptions shattered alike, but only now has Spielberg decided the medium is ready for him – and he's picked his moment well. For all of the good work done by Robert Zemeckis, Peter Jackson and James Cameron, it is Spielberg who has justified the existence of motion-capture technology: The Adventures Of Tintin is a relentlessly thrilling, rip-roaring yarn that's as close as anyone has ever come to bringing a comic-book to life.

Jurassic Park

Movie Review | Ali | 25th September 2011

And so, Jurassic Park week, the special event that was 65 million and 18 years in the making, comes to an end. We've laughed, we've cried, we've freaked out a little bit when Sam Neill tweeted his approval... Truly, there's nothing left to say about Jurassic Park that hasn't been said this w- Shit!

Jurassic Park Week: Jurassic Park Blu-ray changes revealed

Movie Feature | Luke | 23rd September 2011

Luke originally knocked this article out a few months ago, when the Jurassic Park Blu-ray boxset was announced. Since then, George Lucas had another tinker with the Star Wars Blu-ray, making these cosmetic adjustments look terrifyingly feasible - they certainly tricked a few of you when I tweeted them in mock horror some time later. Anyway, it's Jurassic Park Week, and this is Jurassic Park related, so it's in.

Super 8

Movie Review | Ali | 31st July 2011

Master of mystery JJ Abrams (*swishes cape, puff of smoke*) kept his cards close to his chest in the run up to release of Super 8. Was it a Cloverfield sequel? Was it somehow connected to Lost? What was the meaning of all of the clues scattered throughout the enigmatic teaser trailer? Could JJ's nose be pushed any further into Steven Spielberg's rectum? But the most important question of all could only really be answered after viewing it: why should we give a damn about yet another alien invasion movie?

DISCLAIMER: there is no God. There are sharks, though: a friend of mine's seen one. Of course, he also claims he saw Jesus in a Findus Crispy Pancake but that's beside the point.
