Saw IV

Movie Review | Ali | 6th November 2007

The first thing you see in Saw IV is Jigsaw's balls. A sign of things to come? Most definitely. Despite the death of cinema's favourite ironic punisher, his work will live on - a mysterious tape concealed in the deceased's gut will see to that - but sadly the people tasked with continuing his legacy have done a bit of a slapdash...

Halloween

Movie Review | Ali | 14th October 2007

"I got a call from my agent and they asked me if I wanted to be involved in the remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I said no fucking way! I feel it's the worst thing any filmmaker can do. Those movies are perfect - you're only going to make yourself look like an asshole by remaking them." Rob Zombie, 2002 Man......

Shoot 'Em Up

Movie Review | Ali | 18th September 2007

A few years ago, I was speaking to a Manga-obsessed friend of mine about the state of action films. "I've got a billion cool ideas," he said confidently, going on to list several ludicrous action scenes with absolutely zero basis in reality, including - but not limited to - a gunfight while falling through the air and a gunfight...

Top 20 Movie Hitmen

Movie Feature | Rich | 7th September 2007

There's something about folks who are willing to kill for money that has always fascinated cinema audiences. It could be the remarkable flexibility of morality that these characters display; their willingness to cross a line that most of us couldn't even consider approaching. Or it could be that they're really cool. Hitman is pr...

Death Proof

Movie Review | Ali | 11th August 2007

Quentin Tarantino is not the unstoppable force we once thought he was. There was a time when he could do no wrong - his new movies were eagerly anticipated like no others, his name attached to a project was a guaranteed seal of quality and every fevered word that flew out his mouth and past his gigantic chin was like a dagger in...

Captivity

Movie Review | Ali | 28th June 2007

Poor old Elisha Cuthbert has made a career out of getting kidnapped, chased and held at the mercy of a madman, so it's no surprise to see her playing the damsel in distress once more. This time, she's on the receiving end of some serious punishment in Roland Joffe's Captivity - a fairly straightforward thriller featuring some s...

Top 20 Ridiculous Action Movie Moments

Movie Feature | Ali | 27th June 2007

Action movies should always be taken with a pinch of salt, but sometimes you've got to say enough is enough. We can stomach exploding choppers, secret agents and kung fu chefs, but every so often an action movie comes along with a scene so dumb, it defies belief - the moment that yanks you out of the film and has you muttering ...

Paradise Lost (Turistas)

Movie Review | Ali | 26th June 2007

From the cinematic visionary who brought you Kate Bosworth soaking up the surf in Blue Crush and Jessica Alba getting wet in Into The Blue comes another tale of bikini-wearing teens getting hot and bothered overseas. Released a year ago in the States under the name Turistas, Paradise Lost arrives a little too late to hop on the...

300

Movie Review | Ali | 24th March 2007

I used to think I had a penis until I saw 300. Once in a while, a movie comes along that's so extraordinarily butch, it makes even the most pumped-up gym-jockeys look like spaghetti-armed girls. 300 is so manly, if I was to re-write this article, it would take up the top 15 slots all by itself. If you step back and view 300 f...

Dirty Sanchez: The Movie

Movie Review | Ali | 13th July 2006

The less digitally fortunate of you may not have come across the Welsh funsters of Dirty Sanchez: a British version of Jackass, it features four lads from the valleys who are willing to do quite literally anything to shock and appal, all in the name of good old televisual entertainment. The series ran for a good few years on MT...
