Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Movie Review | Ali Gray | 12th October 2014
So I finally got old. Morning: doctor's appointment for dry skin. Afternoon: phone calls with estate agents and surveyors and mortgage advisors. Evening: still-aching limbs from a football match played 48 hours previously. I startle awake to find myself sat in a Paramount screening room ready to watch the latest iteration of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a phenomenon I was probably too old to enjoy guilt-free the first time round a quarter of a century ago. "Let's see those hands in the air!" says a company spokesperson, urging attendees to don the giant green foam hands provided for a photo opportunity. I am secretly glad I didn't pick any up on the way in. Because I am old as fuck.

Wrath Of The Titans
Movie Review | Matt | 30th March 2012
When you consider the critical shitpanning that was given to Clash Of The Titans upon release, it's hard to understand how a sequel was ever greenlit. Absurd plot points, stilted dialogue and 3D so eye-bleedingly bad it nearly undid all of Avatar's goodwill singlehandedly...and yet here we are again.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning
Movie Review | Ali | 19th October 2006
A while ago I was asked to review a book that deconstructed the Western genre, pulling apart classics like the Leone films to see what made them tick. One such chapter attempted to de-mystify Clint's 'Man With No Name' from the Dollars trilogy, giving him a political agenda and transposing all of these social values and ideolog...
