Zombieland

Movie Review | Chris | 7th October 2009

By now, every good movie nerd knows that it's not easy to strike the perfect balance between humour and horror, and the list of films that do it well is depressingly short. Well, now you can add Zombieland to the list.

As the leaves littering our American cousins' driveways will attest, Monday 28th of September is the first day of Fall.

Warning: not suitable for those with a fear of heights or spoilers.

Top 20 Movie Underdogs

Movie Feature | Chris | 3rd April 2008

Modern cinema just wouldn't be the same without its underdogs: because everyone just loves watching chump become champ. You know the type: the no-hopers who shock the pros, the Davids who bring down the Goliaths, the rank outsiders who come from nowhere to beat the odds and shit all over the bookies. Underdogs come from all walk...

Zodiac

Movie Review | Chris | 22nd May 2007

This latest effort from director David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club) is an intensely detailed, powerfully thrilling look into the nature of obsession and the power of fear; a throwback of sorts to the type of films made during the very era it depicts. The film is razor sharp and wholly engaging, filled to the brim with fantastic ...

Clerks II

Movie Review | Chris | 5th August 2006

Clerks II is a good movie. Unfortunately, it is also a prime example of just how creatively stunted Kevin Smith truly is. It's frustrating because the film is every bit as clever, witty, and perversely fun as the original, but therein lies the problem; throughout the movie, there's a sense of "been there, done that." There ar...

Ultraviolet

Movie Review | Chris | 11th July 2006

Allow me start this review by saying right off the bat that Ultraviolet is already the frontrunner for one of the worst movies of the year. I should probably qualify that statement; I suspect there have probably worse movies released already this year, and there will probably be dozens of terrible movies released over the next ...

Serenity

Movie Review | Chris | 1st March 2006

Serenity is the big-screen adaptation of the short-lived cult TV series, Firefly, as well as creator Joss Whedon's first fully written and directed feature. Unfortunately, it's also probably the end of the road for this particular franchise (it performed rather poorly at the box office) but like the television show that spawned...

A History Of Violence

Movie Review | Chris | 1st March 2006

"There's no such thing as monsters," says mild-mannered coffee shop owner Tom Stall to his frightened little daughter. The look on his face tells a different story. We're not talking Orcs, evil wizards and big scary lighthouses here, rather the kind of monster that you read about in the newspaper, the purveyor of those horribl...

Land Of The Dead

Movie Review | Chris | 19th September 2005

For the few of you out there who might not be aware, Land of the Dead is the fourth film in writer/director George A. Romero's dead series, following the classic Night of the Living Dead (1968), the exceptional Dawn of the Dead (1978), and the criminally underrated Day of the Dead (1985). These three films have served to influe...

The Brothers Grimm

Movie Review | Chris | 3rd September 2005

This is a very difficult review for me to write. The reason why has to do with the fact that I am a Terry Gilliam fanatic. I've seen every movie the guy has ever made, and I've managed to find something to love about each and every one of them (and yeah, that even includes The Adventures of Baron Münchausen). The guy is a tr...
