28 Weeks Later

Movie Review | Dave | 26th June 2007

With the original writer and director team, Alex Garland, and Danny Boyle, otherwise occupied with Sunshine, and breakout stars Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris tied up with Batman and Jack Sparrow respectively, one could be forgiven for being rather pessimistic about this sequel to 2002's surprise hit 28 Days Later. Intacto ...

Babel

Movie Review | Dave | 22nd February 2007

So here we are. Oscar season is with us again. Time for actors everywhere to dust down their 'ugly' make-up, brush up on their period accents and unleash films about gay midgets in 1940's Warsaw on unsuspecting audiences.

The Departed

Movie Review | Dave | 14th October 2006

"Nothing is given to you in this life, son. You have to take it," leers Jack Nicholson in the opening moments of Martin Scorsese's return to the gangster genre in which he made his name.

Whilst his King Arthur had all the dynamic leadership skills of the average Tory party candida...

Why I Love... Vin Diesel

Movie Feature | Dave | 30th August 2005

Although it pains me to say it, times have changed since the glory days of the 80's, when Arnie and Sly were kings of all they surveyed. Our mobile phones have got smaller, our jacket sleeves have been reluctantly rolled down and we're only allowed to enjoy Duran Duran in an 'ironic' way. Saddest of all, our action heroes are,...

Heroes #5: Lt. Nick "Goose" Bradshaw

Movie Feature | Dave | 14th August 2005

Very few men can share a screen with Tom Cruise and come off looking like the hero of a movie. Granted, very few people outside of the Hobbit / Oompa-Loompa community can share a screen with the Cruiser without some sort of camera trickery, but that's for another feature. The fact is that Tom's winning smile and lovely hair te...
