  • Snitch

    Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 17th June 2013

    I've watched a few WWE 'shoot' documentaries recently. They feature men whom I spent hours of my childhood watching get greased up and pretend to ram their elbows into one another's kidneys, now older and with faces like meat, talking candidly about the roles they were playing. It's striking how different they all are from their in-ring characters: remarkably good actors, in a way. The move from ring to action movies is a natural one, and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has always been the one most qualified to make it.

  • The Lovely Bones

    It's a big ask, translating one of the most popular books of the late 20th Century onto the big screen. Especially when said book is full of other worldly imagery and is, for the most part, narrated by a dead 14 year-old.

  • Speed Racer

    Movie Review | Ali | 11th May 2008

    Some nine years after they first introduced the world to bullet-time with The Matrix, the Wachowski brothers continue their obsession with Japanese culture and cutting-edge technology with Speed Racer - a CG-injected update of the largely unseen '60s cartoon 'Mahha GoGoGo'. But while The Matrix drew you in with its post-apocalyp...
