  • World War Z

    Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 19th June 2013

    Bloody globalisation. It's not enough to have a film about a bunch of jocks and hot co-eds being chased by a few zombies any more. Now they've got to be taking over the whole world. Or so you'd think: new summer tentpole Pitt-flick World War Z might want to be the blockbuster its marketing suggests, but it has a schizophrenic tendency to flit between bombast and quiet contemplation.

  • The Odd Life of Timothy Green

    Movie Review | Ed Williamson | 6th December 2012

    Star Wars or no Star Wars, here's Disney's bread and butter: family films about something magical happening.

    Pop quiz, hotshot: name five female directors. Tick-tock, tick-tock... Did you manage five? Congratulations if so. Round two: name five female directors who don't make drippy, sappy, piece-of-shit rom-coms, musicals or turgid period dramas. Give up? Yeah, thought so. Doesn't say much for the fairer sex, does it?

  • Disturbia

    Movie Review | Ali | 12th September 2007

    Only the foolhardy dare mess with the works of Alfred Hitchcock - just ask Gus Vant Sant. His pointless, shot-for-shot remake of Psycho in 1998 not only reinforced the argument that Hollywood was running low on ideas, but it showed you can't hope to emulate a true master of the genre. Just like you wouldn't ask a monkey to paint...
