Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes

Movie Review | Matt | 9th August 2011

Since the original Planet of the Apes was released in 1968, it has spawned four sequels, two TV series and a critically disparaged Burton remake. But that all finished 10 years ago so of course itâ€™s time for a prequel/reboot/cash-grab. But can this new film actually offer anything new to a pretty well-exhausted canon, or is it just scraping the bottom of the barrel of monkeys?

127 Hours

Movie Review | Ali | 4th January 2011

Pineapple Express

Movie Review | Ali | 14th September 2008

Pass the bong, dude." The stoner comedy: a movie usually conceived on drugs, fi...

Spider-Man 3

Movie Review | Ali | 21st May 2007

Spider-Man 3 is long. It's very long. In fact, before going to see it, you might want to check what time it finishes, because if you're anything like me (i.e. a dunce) and don't check the train times, you might end up stranded outside your local Odeon at 1am with no buses in sight and a minicab that's destined to eternally be ...

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.
