My Bloody Valentine 3D

Movie Review | Ali | 17th January 2009

A few months back, I reviewed a film called Scar 3D. It sucked, not only because it was a terrible movie, but because it was a terrible waste of genuinely exciting technology - 3D specs have been around for yonks, but it's only now that films are being /shot/ in three dimensions. Aside from a cool scene with 3D tits, I argued th...

The Spirit

Movie Review | Ali | 3rd January 2009

There's no question Frank Miller's graphic novel Sin City - and the subsequent Robert Rodriguez movie adaptation - glorified violence. In Miller's own adaptation of Will Eisner's '40s superhero serial The Spirit, he's guilty of glorifying something else: tits. Rather than swing with Sam Raimi's light and frothy Spider-Man movies...

Transporter 3

Movie Review | Rob | 11th December 2008

The Transporter series can be summed up pretty easily. Jason Statham, a glorified courier in a suit, drives about delivering various unmentionable items. He gets in a few scraps, he has a couple of car chases, he takes his shirt off on more than one occasion, deals with some uninspiring cock-tease and Audi sell a few more cars. ...

Scar 3D

Movie Review | Ali | 10th November 2008

Listen up, proles! 3D cinema is here and it's going to drag your two-dimensional, technologically-inferior arse kicking and screaming into the 21st century whether you like it or not. Films will no longer be confined to a flat screen; a 3D Zac Efron will take every opportunity to grind his package in your face; perverts will fin...

Saw V

Movie Review | Ali | 25th October 2008

A Saw movie at Halloween? Whatever next, a Michael Bay movie with explosions? Here we have a horror series that jumped (and tortured) the shark years ago; a fifth instalment of a franchise that shouldn't have been allowed to stumble out of trilogy town - heck, the main character died two movies ago and they're still pumping out ...

Righteous Kill

Movie Review | Ali | 5th October 2008

"Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets." Travis Bickle, Taxi Driver, 1976. Thirty odd years later and Robert De Niro has finally taken those words to heed in Righteous Kill, playing a crooked cop dishing out street justice to evil-doers alongside fellow crusader Al Pacino in a match-up that's had f...

Death Race

Movie Review | Rob | 30th September 2008

It wouldn't be fair to compare this modernised carmageddon to the 1975 movie that bares the same name. Sure, the film shares the same basic premise and the occasional character name, but they're different animals. While Paul Bartel's '70s exploitation road movie had David Carradine and a young Sly Stallone hauling ass across Ame...

Friday Fiver: Ben Stiller's Top Tantrums

Movie Feature | | 19th September 2008

With today's release of Tropic Thunder, we figured it's high time we take a look at cinema's angriest A-lister: Ben Stiller. Cast this diminuitive chap in your movie and you've got a guaranteed ticking time-bomb of rage, just waiting to explode. Stiller's frustration has served him well, catapulting him from goofy-lookin' comed...

The Strangers

Movie Review | Ali | 30th August 2008

"Why are you doing this to us?" asks Liv Tyler's tearful victim. "Because you were home," says her tormentor. If that sounds like the beginning of my Funny Games review, that's because The Strangers shares many a sensibility with Michael Haneke's clinical exercise in torture - both films feature a house-bound couple being terror...
