The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Movie Review | Rob | 18th August 2010
18th Century poetry isn't usually the biggest fountain of ideas when it comes to full-on, bold, effects-driven summer blockbusters. But when has logic stood in the way of uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer? After all, this is the man who turned a crappy theme park ride into the billion dollar Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise and made Prince Of Persia a successful... er... yeah... (*awkward pause*).

Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time
Movie Review | Ali | 22nd May 2010
Movie rule of thumb #1: if Jerry Bruckheimer's name is on the poster, check your brain in with your coat. Prince Of Persia is typically undemanding summer blockbuster fare - all SFX and stylish set-pieces, but very little in the way of substance. I'm not complaining. These movies have their place. But if you're making a big, dumb movie that invites you to switch off and enjoy, then don't over complicate the plot - Pirates Of The Caribbean did it and Prince Of Persia does it too. It's a Bruckheimer trait.

Movie Review | Ali | 11th July 2006
Try as I might, I just can't avoid this bloody thing. Tom Hanks leers at me from bus stops, Audrey Tautou pouts at me from magazines and Jean Reno gives me French attitude from tube adverts - even the tap-dancing hobo on the Piccadilly Line is tying in his religious mumbo-jumbo with the impending release of Dan Brown's biblical...

Spider-Man 2
Movie Review | Ali | 2nd September 2004
"With great power comes great responsibility." These words more than any others were hammered home in the first instalment of Spider-Man, an ethos passed down from his uncle that Peter Parker came to live by. Bizarrely enough, it became something of a motto for director Sam Raimi, too; the plaudits he received for th...
