The Congress
Movie Review | Becky Suter | 12th August 2014
Talk about kicking a girl whilst she's down. Just moments after staring longingly at a younger version herself on the poster for The Princess Bride in the opening minutes of The Congress, Robin Wright is scolded by her agent (Harvey Keitel) for continually making lousy choices in her career as well as life, then by a studio head for having the audacity to get old. Clearly The Congress isn't afraid to make a difficult point, but its problem is that it wants to make so many of them.

Hitchcock
Movie Review | Matt | 9th February 2013
No one can deny that Psycho is one of the most groundbreaking, evocative horror movies ever made, so just think of the exciting story behind the business decisions involved in filming it. All that dramatic paperwork, all those engrossing lighting set-ups, the thrilling process of rewriting script drafts. And imagine that incredible, never-saw-it-coming twist ending when the movie definitely gets made.

Robin Hood
Movie Review | Rob | 15th May 2010
The first time Ridley Scott made a big budget, historical epic with Russell Crowe, it worked out really rather quite well. Scott tried again five years later, only this time he roped in Orlando Bloom. That didn't work out so well. The lesson there is, don't work with Orlando Bloom. Now it seems Scott has learnt his lesson and got his Gladiatorial mate back for another historical/fictional jaunt, but this time, with bows, arrows and a Yorkshire accent (or something like it).

The Kreutzer Sonata
Movie Review | Matt | 14th March 2010
With all eyes on the recent Oscars and looking ahead to the upcoming summer blockbusters, the release of this small intimate drama has escaped most people's attention. It's easy to see why.

Edge Of Darkness
Movie Review | Ben | 2nd February 2010
It's been seven years since Mel Gibson last appeared in a movie, and while he's kept himself busy drink-driving and bringing the phrase "sugar tits" to prominence, the Jew-hating Aussie with a lack of respect for historical fact is finally back and it's... a thoroughly underwhelming experience.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Movie Review | Ali | 27th April 2009
Straight off the bat: this movie features more shots of muscle-bound men looking up at the camera and yelling "RAAWWWRGH!" than any other I can remember. It's the shoutiest film of the year: guaranteed. But in the X-Men Origins universe, cursing skywards is short-hand for tragedy - it's emotion, spelled out in capital letters in...

The Number 23
Movie Review | Ali | 24th March 2007
"Hey funny man! Tell us some jokes!" Try as he might, Jim Carrey is just never going to be able to play it straight it without some portion of the audience waiting for him to make a stupid face. There's no doubt he's proved he's got the chops for 'serious' acting - The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind b...

21 Grams
Movie Review | Ali | 2nd January 2005
Following the mighty Amores Perros must have been a Herculean task for director Alejandro Gonzales Inarritu; luckily, he hasn't strayed too far from a winning formula, as 21 Grams shares its predecessor's themes of life, love, revenge and death, as well as its central plot device of a car crash spread over three intertwined stor...
