  • Super

    Movie Review | Matt | 7th July 2011

    We’ve had Thor, X-Men: First Class and Green Lantern already this year, showing us that the ‘comic-book movie’ is showing no signs of hanging up its cape. So a film that explores what it’s like to actually become a superhero in the real world is a refreshingly interesting take on the genre, isn’t it? Well, you wouldn’t think so in this post-Kick-Ass world, but Super is surprisingly great thanks to being even more realistic-ier.

In other words it's the perfect set-up for a traditional underdog story.

  • Juno

    Movie Review | Ali | 7th February 2008

    No one likes a wiseass, but give Juno MacGuff a chance. The sass-talking star of Jason Reitman's follow-up to Thank You For Smoking is a sixteen year-old smarty-pants who looks like a schoolgirl but talks like a scriptwriter, and she saves her film from becoming just another Little Miss Sunshine schmaltz-fest. Boasting a sharp-t...
